Anecdotes

 "You know, the week off from work was at like the perfect time for me. I had been delaying a lot of emotional drama in my life, and that was high time for me to go through it, deal with it and just move on." he said, as he and Shubham walked into the Pike Place market. They both have their coffee cups in their hand. He has his all time favorite, the Vanilla Frappuccino, and Shubham was trying something new, a hot Pumpkin Caffe Latte with Whipped Cream. The whipped cream on a hot drink did not make sense to him, but Shubham liked it, so he never said anything. "It's good. Sometimes we need that extra time to go through thoughts in our head." Shubham replied, took a breath and continued asking, "What happened with the girl who rejected you because you were younger ?" "She was just two years older, and I didn't get rejected. It was mutually decided that she wouldn't be comfortable with me because I was younger." he replied. [Death stare...

"Hello." Read. "I'm moving out..." Read. "So, I'd like to invite you to my house for a get-together on Thursday evening around 7.30 PM. If you're not comfortable with it and say NO, I would understand (and not be offended)." Read. "Why is he trying so hard ?", I thought to myself. "Does he not understand that I don't want to talk to him ? I think I've made that pretty clear to him." "Maybe he has invited other people as well. Maybe he's just trying to be a friend. Who knows ?" "You know what? I'll ask others if he's invited them" I sent a private message to two other people on the group, the ones I think he's close to at least. Let's find out if he is still trying to change something here. Suhas responded. Suhas is someone he would hangout the most with, so most likely Suhas has been invited, as long as he's not trying anything here. Suhas said that he hasn't seen any m...

 "Are you still up ? Late now ?". I sent him the text thinking maybe we can still talk for a bit, even if it is midnight. "Yeah, up", he responded almost immediately. I called him and he picked up. After his usual greeting, asked me if I was going for a walk today. I reminded him that it was late, and that I wouldn't go for a walk this late. He said he was waiting for me to go for a walk, and that he was waiting at the entrance of my apartment complex. "WHAT?", I panicked! "You're here ? Why didn't you tell me ? Okay, wait. I am coming." That is unusual. Why is he here ? Why would he be here this late ? Is he really here or is he just making this up ? Wait, what entrance is he at ? I called him and confirmed the entrance. I get very excited around people, and this is kind of a surprise. I did not at all expect that him asking for my apartment complex would turn into this. I saw him sitting on a bench by the coffee shop near our entran...

 "Do you think I should tell her ?" I ask my friend, totally confused. We're sitting in front of the Library, at a place called the Plinth, at The University of Texas at Dallas. He's totally drunk, so I thought telling him the story at this point might be good, so that he doesn't remember anything. I also thought talking to someone about it would ease my anxiety and stress in the matter, but it seems like the stress has increased. "I mean, we've not talked for over a month now. I don't even know if she thinks of me anymore!" I'm in a situation, yet again. This time, I don't know what I did, I really don't. I thought I was very good friends with her, and then something happened. I have no idea what happened. I tried to talk to her about it countless times, but to no avail. She never picked up my calls, she never replied to my messages. I even asked her to call whenever she was free the next time, and it has now been exactly 28 days of ...

You met a new person  you're not able to forget, every little detail about their first look makes you regret. Is this the circle of life ? Is this the circle of love ? You get nervous and excited  and fail miserably to understand them, because they are not at the same page as you are, to them. All you can think of is, what would have happened if you hadn't met them ? Is this the circle of life ? Is this the circle of love ? Now you've stopped expressing any drop of emotion, but they suddenly decide to come to you and say, "I love you!" You have surprise, and shock and too many emotions, but all you can come up with is to say, "Thank you!" Is this the circle of life ? Is this the circle of Love ? You both know this is not going further. You both know  this will not work out. But, none of you is ready to call it off, because you both know, happy with it, is not how you come out. Is this the circle of life ? Is this the circle of love ? Still one person dec...
