The Feeling Pen

I looked at her. She appeared to be like a withered flower that had lost its fragrance. When I asked her what was the matter she gestured with her eyes that she was broken. Well, you must be wondering who I am talking about. It's my friend Netra. A sweet, sensible, bubbly girl. She didn't have many friends but she was happy that she had me as her bestie since childhood. Well, we lived in the same building plus we were also neighbors so it was natural that we had a close emotional bond.  But looking at her that way, I was deeply sad. I felt that somebody had broken a piece of my heart.  Hurting her meant inflicting pain on me too. We were after all more than friends.We were like sisters, at times fighting like cats but also protective of each other if someone tried to harm us. The evening passed away painfully but she was reluctant and didn't not respond to my plead. After much thought and waiting, I called Laksh. "Hello, Is this Laksh speaking?" I...

"You know what Aasha, you don't love him, in fact you want intimacy, that passion in your love life which you had with Deepak" Mitali said, trying to convey me. "That's not true!!" I exclaimed "Who else knows you better than I ?" Mitali frowned "Well..."  "Do you really think I don't love him?" I asked "Of course, you dont buddy ! It's nothing but only the post break up phase you are going through" "Anybody can tell looking at your face that you feel dejected, that you want someone." "Because you were used to talking to only that significant other. You shared every little detail with him.Your identity was solely connected with him and now everything's gone so you are not able to cope up, that's it !" Mitali said "But Mitali, even if you are right, why do I feel so much attached with him? If I desperately wanted somebody I would have either patch up with De...

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 .

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...

"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...
