As Different As Our Coffee!

You always had your coffee black, and I always liked mine with full fat and loads of sugar and caramel.
That's how different we were, right?
As different as our coffees.
*sighs*
Remember how you always told me at the beginning that I'd eventually start hating you, but I laughed it off then, considering it as some sarcasm you always preferred?
Somewhere I knew, it wasn't a joke then, and it surely isn't one now.
I always knew we wouldn't last.
But a part of me always wanted to take that chance even if there was the minutest possibility of it being true.
That's just how I was, right?
Dreamy, Optimistic or maybe just in Love?
But oh girl, what a ride it was!
I hadn't experienced myself like this before.
I hadn't smiled this way before.
I hadn't cried this way before.
It was all so surreal and addictive.
So addictive that remembering it even now takes my breath away-Exactly how it felt whenever you touched me.
It was magical you know.
Everytime your hands used to caress my skin,
Everytime you held me close enough to stare into my eyes.
It was like attaining Nirvana.
Still casts a spell on me when I think of it. *winks* I hate it you know.
I hate the fact that it didn't last.
I hate that I couldn't make you smile for some more time by doing silly things.
I hate that I won't get to sleep in your arms and shed my memories away anymore.
I hate that I probably won't ever get to see you again.
But still, I don't hate you.
Oh, You!
I wish I could but I cannot.
You were and always will be love for me even though you don't wish for it to be true.
That's just how it is.
This heart will always be yours.
I knew this back then, and I know it now.
But there's onw thing I hate the most-Drinking this black coffee.
It sucks so much, and yet I have started liking it.

To Baburao Ganpatrao Apte

To Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, There's something about you that left an indelible laughter in my mind ever since the first time I saw you on screen. Wait, do you understand you are no comedian or joker. You are an alcoholic, debt stricken bloke always swaying to and fro between Raju's cunning mind and Shyam's righteous attitude. You affirmed your seniority everywhere but you never made any sense to me or anyone out there. Tenants need to pay their rent. You get it right? On my off days, when I see your unadulterated smile it bewilders me - I mean how can this man live with such conviction and ease. What about his isolated life? His debts? These questions linger on my mind. It's not okay to be unambitious and surrender to your fate but when life doesn't give you 'Star Fisheries', you can always show some content in your dilapidated 'Star Garage'. Your innocent gullibility, incorruptibility and rustic lunacy bought chuckles. Well, you need to learn that Sh...

Tea for Two!

 I pour water in the bright red pot, gleaming on the outside, a bit rusty on the inside. Red was always your color. Your wardrobe was literally fifty shades of it. The familiarity and warmth of the color red make me smile as I bring it to boil. “Look for angry water bubbles,” you used to say when you were teaching me how to make tea instead of stacking my kitchen counter with instant coffee sachets. I take out the twin tin containers marked “sugar” & “tea” off the cabinet and carefully put them in, systematically counting the number of teaspoons and measuring the amount in each. “I prefer coffee,” I used to whine but would still let you hold my hand as we put in the sugar, not too much, not too less, surprisingly always the right amount. Then in went the tea leaves, a bit less than I'd like, I always had a taste for intense flavors. But I rarely complained for I knew how much you valued your perfect, daily cup of tea. I then pour in the milk, thinking how I'd never been abl...

Tujhe Kitna Chahne Lage Hum...

There comes a phase in our life, where neither can we hold feelings, nor can we let it go. We hopelessly love them without any expectations, without any condition, and even knowing they won't love you back, you still love them holding all the broken pieces of your heart. 'Tujhe Kitna Chahne Lage', is a song that directly holds the feeling we always want to express but we can't. And every time the songs plays randomly from our playlist, we all just feel the song immensely, holding the feelings out, which were graved deep inside our heart. // दिल का दरिया बह ही गया... राहों में यूँ जो तू मिल गया // It's not easy to love someone who we know won't love us back ever, where this song is a struggle between heart and mind, and how difficult is it to hold onto the feelings and even its not easy to let it go and move on. This song best represents the unrequited love, the unsaid emotions, and a broken heart. // वक्त ने है किया हम पे कैसा सितम... तुम भी बेज़ार हो, बर्बाद है...
