The Feeling Pen

Dear Diary,                         I know you might be thinking that why am I taking trouble to write at this hour . But I have a confession to make and I can ' t hold it in for long . You know, you are my best friend as you have been hiding my secrets well all these years. Secrets which nobody knows not even my close ones. Here's another secret for you which I have been dying to tell.  Do you remember Shaurya my college friend ? Of course, you do ! Well, the thing is, I don't want to admit it but I think I am in love. I know that when I speak of  love , it appears as a superficial feeling to you but this time you would feel downhearted , f or me. Why ?     Because I fell in love with my best friend, Shaurya. Is it good or bad, I am no one to decide .   For love happens , unplanned, un anticipated . You know what's the best part about him. He, himself. W hen I look at him , m y heart creates fascinating words . His eyes are alluring , it

"What are you looking at? Why are you taking so long to read my future?" I asked " Oh child! Y our love line is short which means that in the beginning it would start quickly but won't last long." The palmist predicted . I looked at him in dismay. "So that means their is no hope?" I asked " It can survive if only you avoid arguments" He suggested. Feeling pity for myself, I paid his fee and walked off .  What was my fault? That my love lines were short? Should I blame everything on those lines that create a mark and halt my future? Why did this foolish idea strike my mind ? How come I got excited to get into this stuff ?  Well, the answer was the uncertainty in my love life. I walked and walked and thought how I was groomed by my parents as a child,   "One day, a prince would come and take my lovely daughter with him and then both would live happily ever after" "Happily Ever After" I

"May be" I whispered "May be not"  "Hmm...I would like to know why may be and why may be not" "Am I not handsome? Or you have a boyfriend?" He giggled "It's not like that, it's just that I am not interested" I lied "What? You mean I am not interesting?" He asked  "No! No! Don't get me wrong!"  I said "Then?" He asked again "You know, guys like you are not interested in average girls. Somehow, you seem interested in those wannabe pomp and show type girls" I said "According to my observation, I have seen beautiful girls settling for nerd, geek type life partners. So what should I say about them?" He asked, staring at me, asking for a good explanation. "Well, you must have, I dont disagree with you. But tell me if a simple girl asks you out, would you say yes?" I asked He didn't reply.  His silence was disappointing to me. I was clearl

I saw him everyday in the college but never had the courage to tell him in his face, "I love you" . I began to think his reaction if he ever came to know. Probably, I dont think he'll know because I kept my feelings to myself. My friend once ridiculed at me, saying that I was like a chameleon , changing my opinion and hiding my feelings at every situation. She was right, perhaps I was. It was my decision not to tell anyone about my personal interest in someone. And I dont think I was wrong in that. He was a handsome hunk, some girls fell for his dashing looks, others for his mysterious eyes and few for his attractive tattoo on his bicep. No doubt he was a hottie and a spoil brat so it was obvious why girls went insane for him. The surprising thing was that I didn't know his name, his stream, his status whether he was single or committed, in fact absolutely nothing about him. This was also one of the reasons why I was becoming crazy. And yes, I was definite

"Sorry, you are not selected " The interviewer said. I looked at him with a dejected face. He pretended to be helpless as only five candidates were suppose to be selected. Regardless, without any reply I left the room at a swift pace. One of the candidates was my good friend and she was selected for the interview. Her ebullient face brightened up as she saw me , being unaware of the fact that I was rejected. She came up to me and initiated the talk. "Riya, are you selected?" She asked "No" I bluntly replied "Oh,I feel sorry for you" She said "In any case, dont worry, you'll have better opportunities" She suggested "But Pranjali this was the only interview I had been excited about and now all my hopes have dashed!" I said "I don't think so, I mean , I am not giving you any false hopes but as a friend I feel that soon you are going to find something which you deserve" She said "Hu

We both were enjoying the sunset on the beach.He t ook interest in the sandcastles I made . I looked at him in a childish way.  He said,"This is why I fell in love with you"  I gently laughed as he spoke. Again, he flattered me, saying,"What? I am serious Naina!"  "Ok, fine! When did I say you were fooling around" I chuckled The innocent look on his face made me laugh harder.I couldn't resist that moment and pulled his cheeks.He was taken aback by my sudden response. "What are you doing? It hurts!" He said " Is it so ? Then forget it, from now on wards I 'll never pull your cheeks" I mocked "Hey! Don't be mad, I like it when you do that but next time do it softly" He said After few minutes, he looked at me, his forehead display ed fine lines of tension. I knew he was about to speak something urgent. "Jokes apart" "Naina,their is something I want you to know" he prompt

Parth, an eleven year old boy sitting next to the window seat o f the bus looked at a new shiny metallic grey car outside.He fancied the car with his eyes wide open , sparkling bright with amazement.The look on his face clearly displayed his desire to ride in that vehicle. His mother sitting beside also peeped outside,trying to scan in that traffic jam what his son had found interest in. "Parth,what are you looking at?" His mother asked "Maa,look at th at car! It's a brand new polished car!!"Parth said expressing his excitement "Oh,so you were constantly looking at th at particular car"She gasped "No Maa,it is no ordinary car!Look,how attractive it is!"Parth exclaimed "No doubt,son! it does look appealing to ones eyes."She replied calmly "Maa,please buy me that car,please!!!"He insisted "Son,as far as i know,this car is very expensive. Even if we get a good fortune still we wont be able to buy it
