The end ? | Heart and Brain in conflict | Part 1

"I don't think we are each other's type, right ?"

"Yes, and we don't even think the same way"

"Yes, and you live in the US"

"Yes, you do like America though, right ?"

"Yes, I do like America, I think the lifestyle there is very good!"

"Yes, you do... although, you are trying to make a career here since a long time, and I wouldn't want you to give it up." 

"Yes, and long distance relationships usually ends up in a harsh breakup!"

"Right, and I don't want to hurt you in any way!"

"Yes, I do know that, and neither do I want to hurt you in any way"

"Yeah, and even if it works, I do think meeting once every year is not a feasible and/or reliable path to a successful relationship" [chuckles]

"Oh yeah, totally agree. And then, we have been friends for almost 6 years"

"Yes, I don't think I'm ready to give that up with you"

"Specially if it turns into a hate relationship"

"Oh yeah, don't want that! I cannot even risk a bad relationship"

"Right, why ruin something so good between us"

"For something that we are not even sure of, right ?"

"Yes! Definitely!" [Sighs to himself]

"Yes! Definitely!" [Sighs to herself]

They hug each other tight! Both know what the other wants to say, but are too afraid of it! A song playing in both of their heads. The beat and lyrics of the song are happy, but it makes them sad. Both of them gave very different points of view today, but they will remember the same shared moments!

"Our trains are here...", she said after a brief moment, wiping her tears off of his sweatshirt. He did not look, holding his tears in. 

He lowered his mask and kissed her on her forehead. She smiled.

Both then turned around, walked across the platform, to get into trains going in opposite directions. There was a brief moment of final eye contact, and waving to each other, they zoom off the station to the next!

Hi There!

Hope you are doing great!

Thank you for taking a second to write down your thoughts on the stories that I write.

I would love your thoughts on how you felt while reading it.
I know for myself, that your kind words would inspire me to write more, and bring more such stories that you enjoy reading.
But, I also know that I would love it even more when I get a note which finds flaws, because I would take it as a challenge to improve in the next story that I write.

In any case, I consider myself to be honored to hear your thoughts while/after reading my blog!

Thank You!

My Best Friend...

It's been 5 years, 2 months and 13 days. I don't remember his face now, but I remember every word he said to me that night. He kept repeating the same thing over and over again. I didn't do anything. I am helpless, need medical help, psychological help, I should say. Someone who can help me forget that dreadful night, that somehow I'm able to live with this, live with the trauma of that night, live with it replaying in my mind, in my sleep over and over again, and everyday, I just wish it could just tone down a little maybe. I hadn't been able to talk to him since the past two weeks. The only thing keeping me so busy was my new job and my will to excel in at least this one. I was working as a software engineer in Amazon and I was posted in Bangalore with a very neat salary. All I wanted to do was get to the top at what I was doing. I had to work so hard for it. I had put away anything that could be a distraction. He knew that I had been through a breakup, and had...

Honesty Is The Best Policy ?

While I was in school we used to have quizzes in class when there used to be just a few kids who had come to school. That day we had only about fifteen or twenty students in the class. Our teacher had been tired herself, so, she decided to take a quiz that day. You know, quizzes are actually fun way to recollect what you have learnt and display your knowledge just so that you win the game. So, the teacher divided us into groups, as per the rows such that row 1 became group 1, row 2 became group 2 and so on. I was in the first row I guess and used to get very excited in these quizzes. Since such quizzes lead to shouting and carcass in the classroom, so our teacher had set a "-1" point for the row which was heard shouting. And so, the game began! It so happened that after about five or ten rounds, my row i.e. group 1 was seemingly the last in the number of points we had gained and had got a passed question to answer so that we gain an extra "+2" and could at le...
