Woh Saath Din: The End

I tend to write blogs and big write-ups either when I have no one to share my thoughts with or when I’m irritated and frustrated or when I want to say my story in a dramatic way. Right now, it’s none of the above. But still I’m writing.

Almost a year ago, 10 months to be specific, I had penned down a story on Rishab and Vaibhavi called Who Saath Din. The third part of the so called blog tale was open ended for people to opine and time to tell.

As human beings we always want to be in control of everything. We want to dictate our fate and future, most of times forgetting that God or the Universe (for the non-believers) might have an extremely different plan and purpose for our lives. I really don’t know what is planned for Rish and Vaib but I can definitely entitle a suitable ending to the short but sweet and significant romantic involvement.

In basic words, it was not meant to be! Deep inside their hearts they still might have a little hook that gets entangled, every now and then, to the good times they spent and emotional connect they had but overall it is a closed chapter. WHY?! Well let’s put the KISS formula – Keep It Short and Simple J Wow that was easy… or may be not… but the truth is, it’s a dead end with no U-turns.

In a few days, may be, even the name will be a distant thought but the best part is …they wish each other well….always.

With all the happy moments and few regrets of falling apart (mostly losing the genuine friendship) I fare thee well both you Mr.Rishab and Vaibhavi, my friend. The hot air balloon has been let go with no direction or tracking device.

Good Bye and God Bless!

Change ...once again!

It’s been quite some time I ve not scribbled on my blog post though I’ve been having late nights watching movies on my computer. Whatever the reason is, it gives me the impetus to write a new one today. Right Now!!

As I was watching Kajal, my maid’s daughter, cleaning my 50 square feet kitchen, I was once again smiling at the ironies of life. Call it good or bad it’s an adventure in itself. Till date I get amazed by the fact that I live in a studio apartment that is actually half the size of my bedroom in Howrah. While Kajal was picking up the kachra from below my wash basin which is so close to the refrigerator and the clean utensils, I was forced to wonder why do we kill ourselves everyday working so hard that doesn’t even allow a ‘healthy living’?!

I read somewhere that ‘others money and owns problem always look bigger’. Well I totally agree… its very basic human psychology. But even as I’m writing this blog, I can picture the people living next to my building on the roadside. Dude, what am I cribbing about?! Looking at them every day when I go to office, I thank God for I’m blessed with a lot that’s not available to millions out there.

Last five years in Mumbai has been a lot of fun, friends and freedom. I thank and praise God for the mercies and blessings He has showered on me but suddenly I’m in a fix. I have always been this favoured Kilo India Delta (read KID who is protected and pampered) amongst my friends, family and professional contacts. But suddenly everything looks different. Not that I’ve grown up for them now but it’s the Winds of Change. Either people have got married or moved to new cities or my life has become busy and too far from human world to actually keep in touch. I have started understanding the real meaning of loneliness. It’s not about living alone in a city, it’s not about not having anyone on your phone to dial and it’s definitely not about not having a better half….it’s about YOU. It’s about how you prioritise and align your wants, needs and wishes with the outside world so that you are happy and at peace with yourself. So here I’m trying to re-figure my life after my various experiences in the last 27 years; and as I continue to re-arrange the fundamentals with the only constant thing called CHANGE, thanks for being my friend!
