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.

What do you do when your best friend is crying?

What do you do when your best friend is crying? There are a few persons whom you never wish to see with tears in their eyes. I attended college as usual. It was a regular Saturday afternoon; the cultural activities were in full swing. More deafening cheers accompanied loud music from the auditorium. I kept calling her from half an hour; she did not answer. She was nowhere to be seen too. I inquired few of our mutual friends if they had seen her around. "She is always with you," said one. "Heard you guys fought," giggled another. "What rubbish ya! They're best friends, they wouldn't have fought," argued a third. I smiled and left the place, still searching. There she was sitting in a corner, engaged busily on her phone. This pissed me off. I walked up to her and said, "Answer your phone." She looked up; her eyes were teary and red. "You crying?" I asked in disbelief. "No," she said. Her voice was thick. "Is it beca...

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...

Dear Kabira

Dear Kabira, I don't know what's perfect, the lyrics or the feelings you say which I fail to express. Sometimes you meet some songs that melt you from the places you are afraid to touch. Re Kabira Maan Jaa (रे कबीरा मान जा) Re Faqeera Maan Jaa (रे फ़कीरा मान जा) Aaja Tujhko Pukaare Teri Parchhaaiyan (आजा तुझको पुकारे तेरी परछाईयाँ) Your heart just can't stop beating for the lines that play with all the untouched memories you have. Loneliness engulfs you, it tears you part by part and this song just makes you feel everything you hide from the world. This song calls you to be back home and realise your home needs you. It questions why do you want to wander for answers when your home is right there in front of you? Your shadow is calling you back. Come home. Tooti Chaarpaai Wohi (टूटी चारपाई वही) Thandi Purvaai Rasta Dekhe, (ठंडी पुरवाई रस्ता देखे) Doodhon Ki Malaai Wohi (दूधों की मलाई वही) Mitti Ki Suraahi Rasta Dekhe (मिट्टी की सुराही रस्ता देखे) This song gives beautiful me...
