యాక్సిడెంట్

ఏమిటో వెధవ సోది, ఈ తలనొప్పులన్ని ఎప్పుడు ఐపొతాయో ఏమో… ఇప్పుడు ఈ ట్రావెల్ ఏజెంటు ఎన్నింటికి వస్తాడో నాకు టికెట్టు కంఫర్మ్ అయ్యిందీ లేనిదీ ఎప్పుడు చెప్తాడో, అసలే మిగతా షాపింగు పనులేమీ కాలేదు, ఇంకో వారం రోజుల్లో అక్కడ కాలేజిలో రిజిష్టరు అవ్వటానికి వెళ్ళాలి…ప్చ్… ఇంతలో ఎవరో కొంపలంటుకుంటున్నట్టు దబ దబా తలుపు కొడుతున్నారు..
నేనే వేరే వాళ్ళ ఆఫీసులో కూర్చునుంటే దీని తలుపులు కొట్టేదెవరబ్బా..

“కన్నా నిద్ర లేవరా రఘు వచ్చాడు…. అబ్బబ్బా వస్తున్నా, నాన్నా లేవరా ఎవరో తలుపు కొడుతున్నారు ఆ ఆ వస్తున్నా….”

“హు లేచాను ఇప్పుడేంటంటా? ఈ రఘు కి పనీ పాటా లేదు ఎప్పుడూ పొద్దున్నే వస్తాడు, ఐతె ఆ ట్రావెలేజెంటు ఆఫీసు అదంతా కలా… ఏంటో మరీ కలలెక్కువవుతున్నాయి ఈ మధ్య”
“అవున్రా ఎక్కువవ్వకేంచేస్తాయి, దున్నపోతులా అన్నన్ని గంటలు నిద్రపోతుంటే??”
ఓహ్ ఆ అనేది పైకే అన్నానా…. వీడి చెవిన పడటం ఆలశ్యం మా రఘు నాకు సెటైరు వెయ్యటానికి ముందుంటాడు..

“రేయ్ లెగు…”…

“ఎక్ష్క్యుజ్ మీ సార్, సార్..”

“హా… వాట్…”

“యువర్ లంచ్ సార్” అని ఒక ట్రే నా ముందు పెట్టి వెళ్ళింది ఆ అమ్మాయి

ఏమి జరుగుతోందో అర్ధం కావటానికి ఒక్క నిమిషం పట్టింది నాకు, నేను ఉన్నాది ఫ్లైట్ లో అనీ, కలలో ఇంకో కలకన్నానా అని మనసులోనే నవ్వుకున్నాను. నిజమే మా రఘు అన్నట్లు ఎక్కువగా నిద్రపోతే ఇలా కలలే వస్తాయి, ఆమెరికాకి బయల్దేరి దాదాపు 24 గంటలు దాటింది, ఇంకొన్ని గంటల్లో హ్యుస్టన్ చేరుకుంటాము అని పైలట్ ఎనవ్న్సు చేస్తున్నాడు…

ఫై చదువులకని అందరినీ వదిలి అమెరికాకి వెళ్ళి ఒక సంవత్సరం అయ్యింది, ఇన్నాళ్టికి అన్నీ కుదిరి శెలవులకి ఇంటికి (హైదరాబాదుకి) వెళ్ళి వస్తున్నాను శెలవులంటే ఎన్నో రోజులు కూడా కాదు, రెండు వారాలు అంతే, సంవత్సరకాలంగా పేరుకున్న ఆప్యాయతలు, మిస్ అయిన పండుగలు, చుట్టాల విశేషాలు, స్వయంగా కాక ఫోనుల ద్వారా పంచుకున్న ఆనందాలు, దుహ్ఖాలు, ముఖ్యంగా అమ్మవొడి, “పండూ” అని పిలిచే నాన్న పిలుపు, “చిన్నా అది తినరా ఇది తినరా” అంటూ గోల చేసే మామ్మ, యే చిన్న విషయం జరిగినా నేను వెంటనే చెప్పుకునే రఘు, వీళ్ళందర్నీ తనివితీరా చూడటానికి, అన్నీ పంచుకోటానికి ఉన్నది రెండు వారాలు, రెండు వారాలు అయిపొయాక ఇవాళ రాత్రి విమాణం ఎక్కాలి అనుకుంటుండగా…
“ అమ్మా నాకు వెళ్ళాలని లేదు, నేను వెళ్ళను నాన్న” అని బుంగ మూతి పెట్టాను, నన్ను చూసి అమ్మ కూడా బాధపడింది… ఒక్కగానొక్క కొడుకునికనుక ఇద్దరూ నన్ను చాల గారాభంగా పెంచారు, సామాన్యంగా అబ్బాయిలకి నాన్నలంటే ఉండే భయం మా నాన్న దగ్గర లేదు, ఇంకా వెరైటీగా ఆయన దగ్గరే ఇంకా గారాభం ఎక్కువ పోతాను.

మొదటి సారి అమెరికా కి ప్రయాణం చేస్తున్నప్పుడు, “అక్కడికి వెళ్ళాక ఏమి ఎదురవుతుందో, ఎలా ఉంటానో, కొత్త వ్యక్తులూ, కొత్త స్నేహాలు…. అని నన్ను ఎదురుచూస్తున్నాయి.. ఏదేమైన ధైర్యంగ ఉండాలి ఇంకా ఎల్లకాలం చిన్నపిల్లాడిలా అమ్మానాన్నల దగ్గర ఉండలేం కదా” అని నన్ను నేను సముదాయించుకున్నాను, ఈ సారి అలా ఉండదనుకున్నాను, కాని ఈ సారే మరె బెంగగా ఉంది పట్టుమని నెలరోజులు కూడా లేనాయె ఇంట్లొ, అమ్మ చేత వండించుకుని తినాలి అనుకున్న పెద్ద లిస్టు సగం కూడా కాలేదు, రఘుతో గడిపింది ఒకటిన్నర రోజు, ఏమిటొ మరీ బెంగగా ఉంది ఈసారి.

రఘు నాకున్న ఒక్కగానొక్క బెస్టు ఫ్రెండు, వాడికి నేనూ అంతే …. మా ఇద్దరి అభిరుచులు, పద్దతులు ఒక్కటే అని చెప్పాలి, మా ఇద్దరి మాట తీరు, గొంతూ ఎంత సమానంగ ఉంటాయంటే ఒకోసారి మా అమ్మానాన్నలు కూడా తడబడతారు ఫోనులో, అంతెందుకూ, నేను, వాడూ పాటలు పాడి కంప్యూటర్లలొ రికార్డు చేసుకుంటాం, అది విన్నప్పుడు ఇది నేను పాడానా వాడు పాడాడా అని మేమే తికమక పడుతు ఉంటాం. ఆమ్మా నాన్నల తరువాత అందరికన్నా ఎక్కువగా వాడిని మిస్ అవుతున్నాను.

హ్యుస్టన్ చేరాము, కస్టంస్ కష్టాలు తీరటానికి అరగంట పైనే పట్టింది, అమెరికా చేరగానే ఇక నా సెల్ ఫోను గలగలా మోగటం మొదలుపెట్టింది, అందరూ “వచ్చేశావ… ఎలా జరిగింది ప్రయాణం?” అని అడగటం, నేను “ఇంకొన్ని గంటలు ఆగండర్రా, స్వయంగా మీ ఎదురుగా కూర్చునే చెప్తాను కబుర్లన్నీ” అనటం, ఇది ప్రతి కాల్ సారాంశం. మళ్ళీ నా కనెక్టింగు ఫ్లైటుకి ఇంకా ముప్పావుగంట టైముంది…
ఇంకొక గంట ప్రయాణం తర్వాత మా బుల్లి ఎయిర్పోర్టులో లాండయ్యాను, నన్ను పికప్ చేసుకోవటానికి నా స్నేహితులు వచ్చారు, అప్పటిదాకా ఉన్న అలసట అంతా దూరమైపోయింది… ఇంటికి చేరుకునే అర్ధగంటలో హైదరాబాదు సంగతులు చెప్పుకుంటూ రాత్రి పదింటికి చేరుకున్నాం, చేరగానే నాకోసం మిగతా ఫ్రెండ్సు వండిన వంటకాల రుచి చూసి సర్దుకోవాల్సిన బట్టల్ని, వస్తువుల్ని సూట్కేసుల నుంచి తీసి, పనులు అన్నీ కానిచ్చి మరింకొన్ని కబుర్లు చెప్పుకుని పడుకునేటప్పటికి ఉదయం నాలుగయ్యింది, రెండో రోజు మధ్యాహ్నం వేరే ఎవరో ఒక తెలిసినతనిని ఎయిర్పోర్టు నుండి తీసుకురావాలని గుర్తొచ్చి ఇక పడుకున్నాను, ప్రయాణ బడలిక వల్ల బాగా నిద్రపట్టింది. పొద్దున పదింటికి మెలకువ వచ్చింది, లేచి స్నానం చేసి బయల్దేరాను ఎయిర్పొర్ట్ కి, మా ఫ్రెండు కారు డ్రైవ్ చేసుకుంటూ…

సశేషం..

Could this be an apt Ending?.....

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well guys this is not the actual part or the climax of the story which I have drafted, but somehow I felt like putting up this other thought of mine infront of you so that I can get your comments on this possibility…..I shall post the actual ending soon…I wish to see what each of you would respond to this.

I have started this story thinking that I will make this a happy ending. I thought I would justify the prologue and keep it a question mark between him, her and time and finally patching them up and quoting the ever used phrase “And they lived happily ever after.”

But something tingled me to post this …. So here I am..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sarathi was waiting for Ruchi on a bench, trying to calm himself though he is tensed. Ruchi came elegantly towards Sarathi and started to speak trying to hit right on the point.

“Sarathi I know that you love me so much and have been waiting for my reply for a long time. I like you and I feel happy for having such a nice friend as you. Now listen carefully, I have got a call from my parents and they want me to get married to a guy who is working in Canada, they have almost finalized the match and are planning an engagement next month. I am their daughter and they have every right to take decisions about my life, so I want to abide them and keep my family reputation good and make them happy. I hope you would understand me.”

Sarathy was shocked and couldn’t understand what to do and how to talk….

“Ruchi, I ask you only one question…Do you love me? May be your parents want you to get married to some guy that’s fine but all I want to know is your heart. So please let me know…Do you love me?”

“It doesn’t make any sense Sarathi, when I say I am gonna get engaged next month, what makes u ask me if I love you?”

“No, it does matter to me Ruchi, all I want to know is whether the woman I love loves me or not. I may tolerate any pains but the pain of not knowing my lady’s heart wouldn’t let me stand, so please…..please tell me whether you love me”

“Sarathi all I can say is I love my parents and shall follow their wish as much as I can”

“That’s not what I asked for Ruchi…please I am not going to do any silly deeds but …please answer my question”

“Sarathi you are really troubling me”

“Ruchi please …”

“I don’t love you ok? I really don’t love you, now you got the answer so leave me alone……”

Saying this she left the place crying to her room.

“Sarathi felt the ground breaking under his feet, he felt so lonely at that very moment. He sat there at the park in total despair when his phone rang”

“Hi Sarathi its me Abhi, I don’t know what Ruchi have spoke to you but all I want to let you know is that Ruchi loves you, as much as you do. I know Ruchi, she herself told me a million times that she loves you and now for any reasons I can’t see her killing her heart like this. Sarathi you are a great guy and you would keep this gal happy, so what I feel is approach her parents about this saying that you love her.”

“What!! What did you say Abhi? Ruchi loves me? ohh you have no idea what you did by letting me know this. Thank you so much my dear friend”

Sarathi’s world started rejuvenating with hope. He immediately called Ruchi and told her, tried convincing her that he would talk with her parents. Ruchi said ok.With that he called up her parents and spoke about the issue. They obviously didn’t expect this so were dumbstruck and immediately outraged with all this. They told him to be away from her and that they have confirmed the match for her and no more talks on this issue is allowed. Sarathi tried all possible ways to convince them but none worked.

Ruchi had to go to India, Sarathi went along and tried his luck again with her parents, and this heated up their rage. They chuck him out of the door. Even Sarathi’s parents couldn’t help his son.

Ruchi wasn’t ready to go and marry Sarathi without her parent’s permission and neither did Sarathi wanted this.

Ruchi got married. She left to Canada with her husband. She was definitely not happy with this marriage but she had to be happy or atleast try being happy.

Few days after Ruchi’s marriage, Sarathi’s parents married Sarathi with a gal and sent the newly wedded to America.

Unlike many lovers who failed to marry, these lovers didn’t try killing themselves. Instead they started sharing their lives with someone else and lead their own lives with hope.

Years passed by Ruchi got out of her despair and hoped to find love from his husband’s heart and she did. On the other hand Sarathi, became a responsible husband.

Its New year’s eve and it was party time!!! There were celebrations all around, people greeting each other wishing a very happy and joyous new year. Ruchi and her husband; Sarathi and his wife met there in that party. There was a moment of silence between Ruchi and Sarathi, their eyes greeted each other and saw each other’s better halves and thought “I was supposed to be there, beside my love.” But it was only for a moment, a smile sprung up on each faces and they happily introduced each other to their life partners. Neither of them forgot each other and neither of them have regrets. They individually worked on to make their lives happy and to find their love in their life partners. If they have married each other, they must have been happier from the very moment they got married. Now though they have missed each other terribly at the initial stages, their new love soothed their hearts and made them feel happy for being theirs. And now they are happier and will be happy forever.

-----THE END-----

This is reality guys, not all love stories end saying that ‘they lived together happily ever after’. And if you expect that all love stories should end in marrying each other, if not ending their lives under the name of love.., then I am sorry my dear friend, you got to be realistic and practical. Human life is so precious. No matter what happens one should never try ending up their lives. To live with hope brings the joy and reason for living. Love is not life, it is merely a part of life. Dying for one person’s love and shattering all the dreams of your parents, abandoning your loved ones is meaningless. Its just matter of minutes my friends…just minutes. If you realize that there are people who care for you and that they love you, you certainly wouldn’t die for that so called valentine of yours. People often question “what is life without love?” I agree, there is no life without love, but all I want them to answer is “What is love without life?” When you are not alive and are not giving Love another chance to enter into your life then how do you justify your love? What tribute are you really trying to pay for Love by piling up corpses in the name of eternal divine love? Hope …. Hope is what drives our lives, when you ask others to give you a second chance in many issues, why don’t you let your own life have another chance of finding love? …. and who knows may be you deserve better and may be you will find an ever lasting love for your life…..

Just have faith in Love and hope in life.

It was evening; the air was soft trying to whisper many things, with grass caressing their feet and just to add on more excitement it started snowing. Sarathi and Ruchi were walking in a park, a quite and sensible park indeed. Both of them know whats gonna happen that day. Sarathi took a step ahead and took her hand in his. He looked into her deep brown eyes. She felt as if he is looking into her heart through her eyes.

“Ruchi, I… I have told you this few times before but was never felt so emotional and committed, now here I go.. I don’t promise you the world neither would I promise you the precious diamonds. All I would is my loving heart. I promise you the happiness and an undying love from me. Ruchi may be I cannot be happy without you in my life, If you say yes to me I will be the happiest person on earth. Ruchi I am in love with you and want to marry you. If it is ok for you I would approach our parents for their consent. Now what all I have to say, I have told you now its you who hold the answer”

Though this was very normal,flat and formal fashioned thing...,
Ruchi was overjoyed she always thought he just loved her and she never really thought of getting married and settled. The moment she heard him saying that he wanna marry her, she was left with no words. Tears of joy filled her eyes, but never rolled out.

Seeing her silence and tear filled eyes (he thought them to be out of joy at the same time he is afraid if she is crying really), Sarathi spoke again “I know may be its not fair for me to expect an answer rite away. I would wait for your reply no matter how long you take, but do let me know your reply either yes or no.”

He drove her back to her apartment.On the way back, she tried stealing few blushy looks at him.He dropped her and waved her bye, she too wished him a good day and left into her room. Ruchi was so excited and was so happy. She tried to picture the whole evening again. Next moment she wanted to call him and say “yes” to him. She looked for her phone and as she was about to call him, the phone rang. She wondered if it was Sarathi but no it was from her parents back from home (India). They spoke usual things for a while and then started to tell her that they have been looking matches for her and finally filtered out to a guy who is working in Canada and that they were almost at verge of confirming the match as the guy liked Ruchi as well.

Ruchi was shocked, she didn’t know what to say, she stood there listening them silently not speaking a word. On the other side, her parents felt that she is just blushing and kind of embarrassed. They hang up with that conclusion. Next sec she received an email of this guy’s picture, his details including his phone number and e-mail id.

Ruchi didn’t know what to do. She wanted to call her parents and tell them about Sarathi, but she couldn’t. She called up Abhi and told him what had happened.

Abhi suggested her to tell about this to Sarathi. Ruchi thought again, she is sure that her parents wouldn’t accept this as they will have to cancel the whole thing and will find this as an issue throwing their prestige in jeopardy. She also thought of what could this impact on Sarathi.

Ruchi never told Sarathi of her love till now. So she thought it would be better for her to kill her heart and say a ‘No’ to him and convince him on this decision of her.

{Though loving each other, these two lovers love their parents a lot and would not dare neglecting or rejecting them at any cost. They believe that their parents would choose the best for them and that they are on high position than anyone else including the ones they love.}

Next day morning Ruchi went to Sarathi. Sarathi was tensed to hear about what she has got to tell.

Hope continued...3

Abhinav, a young charming 6 ft tall North Indian guy possessing a huge number of female fans at his workplace is the General Manager for the MNC where Ruchi is working. This 25 yr old IIM stud is known as the most eligible bachelor.

Ruchi’s hardwork, dedication and sincerity impressed Abhinav. He thought that beauty and brains seldom go together but once he saw Ruchi, he changed his opinion. Ruchi and Abhinav became quite good friends and in no time Abhi started getting attracted towards her. The skeptical Ruchi suspected whether she as well is getting infatuated towards him. But she often told herself that she is just being carried away and that she holds her heart for Sarathi. It was quite common to get into rumors and gossips and so did the matter of closeness between Ruchi and Abhi at their office.

It took no time for these gossips to find a way to Sarathi, but he trusted Ruchi though she never told him what she really feels. Eventhough he trusted her, it’s a common issue of possessiveness that occupied Sarathi which made him little jealous of Abhi. He wanted to take his gal away from this fellow but immediately he would just laugh at his silly thoughts.

Ruchi knew that Sarathi loves her and can keep her happy. Abhi never let her know how important that she meant for him. Infact when considering Abhi and Sarathi, its Abhi who is more secured than Sarathi and it is quite normal for a girl like Ruchi to choose Abhi over Sarathi if she knows that Abhi loves her. Ruchi herself was not very clear of whom should she be choosing if given a choice.

Since Abhi is a good friend and Ruchi has got stronger feelings for Sarathi, She told Abhi about Sarathi and his love for her. Abhi was actually cool about the issue…for him he always believed in the fact that when we love someone, its not necessary that they should love us as well. So he congratulated Ruchi and asked to arrange a meet with Sarathi.

Sarathi’s dedication and his passion made him reach higher goals in his job. Ruchi got her self mentally committed to Sarathi. Yet she never disclosed it to him.

When these 3 people meet at a pub, Ruchi tried a prank and enacted to be flirting with Abhi and danced with him at the disco infront of Sarathi . This made Sarathi little uncomfortable. As Abhi was already aware of Ruchi’s plot, he acted equally good with Ruchi.

(Its quite natural guys…no matter how ideal and broad minded we sound we do have that possessiveness over our beloved ones)

Its time and Sarathi was ready to welcome a partner into his life. Before consulting his and her parents, he proposed to Ruchi.

Will be Continued....

Hope continued...2

Both Sarathi and Ruchi have completed their successful training period. It was a competitive job, unlike what was expected, the job was tough and was demanding more from every employee’s caliber. Being hardworking both of them strived hard to achieve high designations and reputation in the workplace. In mean time Sarathi and Ruchi became good friends. Movies, parties, discos with friends made them closer. Within no time they fell in love with each other, but never let each other know. At times the old skeptical Ruchi used to occupy her mind and ask her to quit all such crap and go higher and higher in her life without really caring about anyone. But the moment she thinks of Sarathi all her self-centric attitude disappears and she becomes joyful. Sarathi though loved this gal never compromised on his mindset and was friendly, jovial with everyone as usual.

Time rolled on and their feelings for each other strengthened. The Software company they are working for has decided to send few of its employees to their other branches all over world. Sarathi was to go to Australia and Ruchi to United States of A. This indeed was great and exciting news for them. They then realized that they are going to leave each other. Sarathi tried to convince his higher authorities to post him to USA but all in vain. Ruchi wanted to go to Australia to join Sarathi but really didn’t try as she suspected that her job will be in jeopardy if she tried questioning them. When it was time for Sarathi to leave, he expressed his feelings for her and asked her answer. Ruchi was overjoyed with this but didn’t showed her consent right away. With that, Sarathi said that he would wait for her answer and left for Australia and after few days Ruchi left for USA.

They exchanged mails and had chat regularly but Ruchi never let out her feelings for him and Sarathi never gave up his faith. Weeks passed and Sarathi tried out for a new job there and finally got himself into a better company which posted him to USA. Sarathi was on cloud 9 with the thought of meeting Ruchi again.

United States of America……. The land of dreams…

Sarathi landed in the airport and felt happy to see his few friends awaiting him at the airport. He was greeting everyone but his eyes were searching for her. There she was….standing little away from the crowd looking at him. His eyes have got the image they waited for and his heart craved to hug her. He controlled himself went to her and shook hands with her.

The story continues….

The Story begins...

It’s a story of a gal named Ruchi, who is skeptical, but quotes herself as “The Practical” and it’s a story of a guy named Sarathi, who is laid down in personality but quotes himself as “The cool” and yet again it’s a story of love…. Love between these two opposite poled persons.

Sarathi was a guy with all potential of achieving things and creating wonders, yet never really bothers to reach the top. For him maintaining the simplicity in his standards was enough. Though he is liked by many and he has got his mark in various fields of interests. His huge circle of friends loved him for what he was…kind hearted, caring and lovable.

After his graduation, Sarathi planned a trip to a hill station to take a break and enjoy the nature. Its not ususal that he made out alone but as his friends were busy and he is expected to join a job next week., he wanted to enjoy the trip without postponing it. It was about 12 hours journey on train from his place to Ooty.

On the day of his departure he packed all his luggage, went to the station enquired of the platform number on which his train is, and after confirming his seat number from the final list, placed himself in his seat. The Coach wasn’t much crowded. His was a side lower seat. It was not until an hour journey that his opposite seat was filled by a person. Sarathi was enjoying the songs from his discman and casually observed the person opposite to him. It was a gal, beautiful and dressed quite comfortably and traditionally. At the very first glance he felt warmth in his heart. Later he indulged himself in his tunes. Another hour passed by he was interrupted when the girl in front of him asked “Excuse me, What is the time?”, he replied saying that its 18:05 hrs. Her voice was so sweet. He turned off his music and started conversation with her, enquiring her of her name and where she is heading to. She gave him a brief detail about herself.

Ruchi is a gal with zeal to achieve big, though being an introvert to max., she is often a social groomer. She have struggled hard to achieve many things and have succeeded in making her dreams into reality. Yet she has no good bunch of friends, for her friends are made only if she feels that they are necessary and are of use. Thus ending her in having a very few pals to name. It was not until that she completed her studies that she realized that she is missing a person, a friend in her life. All long she pretended as if she was fine without having good friends and tried filling all her spaces with the books that she read and the dairies that she wrote.

To come out of her loneliness she planned to embrace herself with nature in Ooty. Sarathi was her co-passenger in train sitting right opposite her. He was charming, good looking and cool in his conventional combo of Blue jeans and a white T-shirt.

These two strangers met in the train, found out that they were of same age and are traveling alone to Ooty just on a vacation. Since these couple are City based youth it took no time to socialize and know each other. Its kind of new for Ruchi to talk with strangers but she wanted to try it out for she was fed up with her introvert behavior. It really surprised her how well she can actually converse with people when she was talking to him. She wondered if this guy has the ability to charm her and make her speak or its her mind which is craving for a change that made her adapt so soon to him. Their long talk minimized their long journey. They have infact forgot to sleep while exploring each other’s interests.

Next morning when their train reached the destination, they have wished a great day and exchanged their mobile numbers and email ids. Both of them tried to plan their schedule so that they can meet again while in Ooty but skipped the thought.

A week’s vacation rejuvenated Sarathi and prepared him for his new job. He was placed in an MNC as a software Engineer. Sarathi was to take a coaching for about 6 months before he actually takes up his designation. He easily got acquainted with what he has to learn and what the firm needs from him. A month passed by and there were fresh recruits and fresh batches turning up. It was a mere coincidence that Ruchi was among the new entries. Ruchi was glad to know that she had a known person on board along with her.

Will be continued in part 2….

Hope

Stories are not made but are extracted from various faecets of life; whether it may be of someone around us or could be of our own.

Have you ever observed a child who is just learning to walk?? If not try seeing one.. it is so beautiful and exciting to see those tender legs trying to stand straight taking some support and start moving hestiatingly and very tenderly.Even if the child fall down., he tries to stand again hoping to learn walking and finally to walk without any support.Thus our hope begins........A hope for survival and struggle for existence.

Everyday we wake up from bed, wishing ourselves a very good morning and a great day ahead. Each of us hope that we get the best of joys this day.

I hope that the above two paragraphs have made you little bored and must have said, "Yeah we all know that, whats new in it..?" Thats rite my friends there is nothing new in it. But what wonders us that we cannot hold on to our hope in lot many important matters which actually demand our hope, patience and faith. I am not going to try listing out all those important issues though.

What if....we ignore people who love us and people whom we love, just for fun or for some reason...and that person waits for a long time, trying to calm u down but you don’t listen to them and act ignoring them.Finally that person leaves you and moves on after a long waiting....now you turn back saying "I was kidding re" and find no one behind you, realize that u were too late and that u r left alone for yourself. The emptiness, the space, the silence that lingers around you even if u r in midst of the busily crowded place makes you feel that you are absolutely have no reason to exist, assume that all the doors have been closed and that you have landed nowhere. And on the other side, the person who has been trying to patch up with you and seeing you not responding, left the place with tear filled eyes loosing all hope.

Days passed by, you moved on and the person moved on in your own directions but never forgot eachother. One day you both meet up accidentally but remain silent, neither of you start talking but both of you want to express the feeling you hold for them. Finally with all despair leave eachother without talking.

In this whom shall we blame? The person who didnt try enough or wait enough until you turned back or you who have dragged the situation so long that you forgot the fact of dragging too much leads for breaking up... or the Time that have played with both of you.

Well this is just a prologue....to the coming story.
