Errors of Destiny

Love! Love is not a mere four letter word. It has a larger than life meaning. Love gives you happiness as well as sadness. No dictionary can define what love truly is. Love is unfathomable. Love is priceless.

Everyone, at some point in their lives, experience love, the pure form of love.
Every love is not true love. Every love does not last for a lifetime. Some love stories are meant to be short-lived. Whereas, some are a life long promise to be fulfilled. For some lucky souls, ‘forever together’ is a dream come true. For some, ‘forever’ is a lie.

In some love stories, the boy leaves the girl and in some, the girl leaves the boy. But in some rare situations, destiny leaves them. Destiny is the bridge between two people. Sometimes it brings two people close, and sometimes it makes them go far apart.

There comes a time in relationships when you cannot be together anymore. It is that time when we realise that we are not meant for each other. The reason behind breaking apart maybe fading love, future insecurities, family problems, broken promises, trust issues, or anything else which are sometimes, beyond our imagination.

There are those incompletely complete love stories where you cannot be with that person whom you still love, for the happiness of either one, or both considering the future.
You still have feelings for that person but on the other hand, you focus on the betterment of individual life.
You still know that all the love you’s were true and all the miss you’s were not just fascinating words, but were from the deepest bottom of your heart. You still know that you can set everything on track by a single text or call, but then again, you know the consequences of it and therefore, you back off.

The more you will be together today, the more difficult it will be to part ways later. Knowing that you cared for that person’s happiness more than yours, will give you enough courage, even if it does not reduce your pain of moving on.
Love is more about watching the other person happy than caring about your existence in that happiness. Love is innocent, but love demands sacrifice.

Happily ever after is not the criteria in love, but happiest for whatever you had is what gives immense joy. Your sacrifice will be paid, you will always know that you cared the most for that person. More than you cared for yourself.

Lost Found and Reversed

It was a breezy Friday evening. The young man hurried down the stairs. As he entered the subway platform, he took his ticket and waited for the train to arrive.

After few minutes, the train arrived. The door in front of him opened, and there he saw a beautiful woman with big black eyes standing at the edge of the door. She looked familiar.
His eyes were automatically fixed on her. As she was getting down, she missed a step and was about to fall. The man grabbed her arm to help her. She looked up to see him.

“Um, are you okay?” his voice chimed and his brown eyes sparkled.
“Y-y-yeah I’m okay” she was still in shock after looking at his face.

They soon recognized each other. They had gone to the same college. They shared a brief conversation and as the train was about to depart, the man unwillingly bid her goodbye.
The man thought about the woman and several memories from the past started scampering around inside his head.

A few days later, the man was sitting at his friend’s jewellery shop. He started narrating his friend about this woman he saw the other day. He said how he always had a crush on her since his college days, but could not make up to confess this to her.
He have deviced many plans to make her realise how much he loves her but everytime she came in front of him, he would become speechless and get lost in her drop dead gorgeousness.

In this way the college years passed and finally they went their separate ways. All these years, he could not forget her, her big black eyes, her enchanting smile, her chirpy voice, her long brown hair, her everything. He had a special kind of attraction towards her, which was much more than just a mere crush.
And now after so many years, destiny has let them meet again.

“You could have asked for her number, buddy” said his friend with a concerned look.

He felt he made a mistake by not asking her number or any other way to contact her.
Well, as fate would have it, two women walked inside the shop. His friend got ready to attend his customers and welcomed them. His eyes got fixed on one of the women who was the same girl he met the other day.

He thanked his destiny once again and finally decided to confess his true feelings for her. He gathered all his courage and practised his lines in his mind which he would say to her.

“How can I help you ma’m?” asked his friend to the ladies.
“We have come here to choose our wedding rings” said the woman, with big black eyes.

Treasure the Happiness

Happiness is a blessing. Happiness is a ray of hope for those neglected lonely souls, cared by none. Happiness should be treasured.

How often do you feel sad?
There are days when your hope seems to fade away. You lose interest in everything. You think of going out and talk to people so that you can come out of the sadness, but you cannot.
You lose sleep, you lose appetite, you get thoughts which are dark and scary. You feel lifeless, your whole body aches and you feel weird sensations all over your body.
You seek for silence, prefer the lights to be dim, you just can’t laugh or be happy. You want to run away from here, in order to end your suffering.

Life is a moment’s bliss, life is temporary. Look forward to make your life large, not long.

Smile through your tears, laugh at all the confusions life prepares for you, rather than grieving over it. Always remember, everything happens for a reason. Make your daily life a ride of beautiful moments.

Do not complain because rose bushes have thorns, instead be happy that thorn bushes have roses.

Look for happiness in every little thing you do. Read a book, watch the sunset, and feel the happiness of the moment. Life is for celebrating love, getting into strange adventures, having deep conversations, and creating memories, rather than cursing each and everything.

Make this world a place where people can laugh till their stomach hurts, where you can share hugs and giggles with everyone around, only then you can feel proud to be a part of it.

Happiness is the sunshine after the violent storm, the dawn after the darkest night, and it is a great, great gift.

By the Broken Bench

The sky consisted of small paragraphs of black clouds as the surroundings got refreshed by the aura of the rain even before it started raining.

There she sat on the broken bench beside the empty playground. The bench looked as if it was there only for those two persons, detached from the rest of the world.
She looked at the sky above. Her eyes were like deep blue oceans and at the center, there seemed a black stone. It was blacker than a clear night sky and darker than a thousand night skies woven together. And then she saw him, beside her. There was a gleam in her eyes like glare of sunlight reflecting from the blue ocean waters.

He smiled looking at her, the ever so mesmerising smile that she forever longed for.
There were like a series of memories that they have together. Remembering every moment spent together brought glistening smiles on their faces.

She looked at him and asked, “What does love mean to you?”
He blinked and said, “Love is an excuse for the miseries in your life and yet it is the reason to be happy in all the moments that make up a life.”
The corner of her mouth twitched slightly, spreading into a wide knowing grin.

The rain started pouring lightly as small silver droplets hit the ground playing harmonic rhythm for the two innocent souls sitting on the bench.

The girl held his hand and looked into his eyes, “You always say, it is the light emanated from only my eyes which, when fixed on yours, produced that gleam. But you failed to notice that my eyes shined like bright sunlight only in your presence. Your absence dimmed the lights and brought darkness.”

He held her hands tighter and inclined close to her, as his breath mingled with hers, it felt even better than the aura of the rain.

At first she sat still, sinking into the moment’s bliss and then a cold feeling clutched at her heart.
The rain was pouring heavily, the wind turned violent, the droplets of rain hitting the ground was now hurting her ears. A knot formed in her stomach, she could hardly breathe.

She could not feel him beside her. He was gone. She looked at the distant sky, as her vision got blurred because of the tears in her eyes.

She spoke to herself, “How can he be here, when he does not belong to this world anymore.”

Destined for Existence

Have you ever stopped to think about your existence? Were you destined to be born in this universe, this solar system, this planet, or were you even destined to be born, in the first place?

At that time, when you were born, new to this world and at this time, when you have spent a considerable amount of time in this world, do you think you are the same person today? Do you remember the talents you once possessed, the dreams you have seen as a child, your thoughts, your innocence, before the world told you what it should be like? Where is that ‘you’? Ruined and distorted by the people of this planet, right?

Think about what you once thought you would do, but couldn’t look up to it as it either seemed out of the track or it wasn’t accepted by the society. You sacrificed your dreams to match up to the level of the society.
Now look at what you have ended up doing. The people of this planet have dominated over your thoughts and actions.

Is our individuality just an illusion that goes into oblivion as we grow up and start moulding ourself into someone who we are not?

You always knew what you wanted to do, how you wanted your life to be, but you have let it traverse through time while focussing on achieving things that the world made you fascinate about. It made you think otherwise.

Do you ever sit back and think about every forgotten dream of yours?
All those things that you did not do and now your life turned into a mess or into something that you didn’t want, in the first place.

Dont you ever in your life felt that you dont belong here, before you tried to convince yourself otherwise?
Are you sure you were destined to be here? On this planet, with us, born to those two, friends to those people, being loved by that person.

Think about it, only if you want to make your life more complicated. Else, thank you for reading.
