Quenching Emotions

Bald head and a face mask. Salwar suit and a big envelope.She was in her near teens,may be 17 or so. An Envelope containing may be some medical reports.As I could read there was test lab name imprinted on it. Probably she was returning from some medical institute after her checkup. She was standing outside the Women's’ compartment and people gave her glances. As she entered the metro,I saw her and out of human generosity vacated my seat for her.A single glance of hers’ gave a thrilling chill inside my stomach. I wanted to take off my eyes from her and even tried but couldn't. My thoughts filled my head.I was wondering how such a small aged girl just have to deal with all those medicines and painful equipment. All I could think was how not even a complete adult have so much to handle in her life. An age we usually spend in roaming and chatting with friends,an age where we make friends for life,the age which we cherish for ages. The times which we crave oft...

“Hi” 2mins later “Hello “ “Wassup” 10 mins later “Reading,You??” As I was staring at my phone to get a reply,a shadow suddenly crossed me. It was 2 am in the night or I should say morning and I couldn't manage to get a sleep. I was sitting under the open dark sky,sky was completely clear and moon wasn't visible,a day after full moon. It has been always soothing to sit and relax on my terrace,no noises irritate your ear drums,just a serene and calm place to enjoy your own company. Only haunted things are your thoughts and at the least your own face. Concept of supernatural powers has gone long back since the day these cities have developed. These poor souls no more roam around,for humans are more dangerous than they are. As the shadow crossed I tilted my head towards and saw a girl. Right 5 buildings away from my terrace I saw her talking to someone. I couldn't recognise what,how and whom she was talking to but the moving lips could say it all...

At the end what matters Is not those piled up degrees but the knowledge you have gained to prove your self worth. The success you achieved,the position you acquired and not the hell you went through to get there. The physical fitness and the healthy mind you have,to deal with the problems of life and not all those traumas you dealt with. The person right next to you,loving you,understanding your silence and comforting you throughout your ups and downs and not the one’s who came and went like a storm. Coz what all we worry about is how it’s end gonna be. So fight till you reach the end,journey can be  beautiful,can be worrisome but the destiny will be more striking than you expected.

Loving yourself more than others is what I call self love and people often confuse it with being selfish. Lacking consideration for other people,one who is concerned chiefly with one's own personal profit or pleasure is what some definitions I got about the word “selfish”. I keep these two at completely different levels. Self love simply means first loving yourself and then others,not at the cost of cutting others part of love but simply loving a bit more yourself. There's no harm in loving yourself prior to others,yes it gives you your peace of mind. If I talk of bookish things and reel life people often quote “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage”,is it really?what about loving yourself first and doubling your strength and courage?since no one is going to love you if you can’t love yourself. Love your soul,pamper yourself,protect yourself from toxic people, live what you love,hit the beach when you fee...

My heart rips off into pieces when I talk of our martyred soldiers of armed forces. I had tears while writing this small piece and we can’t even imagine the pain of the families which go through all such. Salute to our soldiers,our Military Forces which assures us to sleep in peace and live in harmony. When all a mother wanted was to ask him,”beta you had your lunch?”,”you had your sleep well?”, When all she wanted was him to hug him tight once he returns from battle field, But he never returned. When all a Father wanted was to pat his back and bless him with his choicest blessings, When all he wanted,that he couldn’t ever express,was how proud father he was to have him as his son, But he never returned. When all a wife wanted was to tell her husband,how badly she had missed him,drenching her pillow every night, When all she wanted was to share those lovely moments of their toddler growing up, But he never returned. When all her daughter wanted was to ride a ...
