A Water fresh weekend.... Shivanasamudram Falls....


     A typical weekend in b’lore for me would be meeting up with friends at one of the only landmarks in b’lore like garuda mall, forum, M.G.Road etc., watch a movie or two, go for bowling @amoeba or may be laze arnd in the PG chit chatting with PGmates. But this weekend got a chance to be away from the concrete jungles of b’lore and be closer to nature and natural beauty……

     Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I guess this has to be one of the best weekends I have had in b’lore…Wondering what’s so special about this weekend… Hmmm after a very brief (specifically 3 mails) the trip gang (includes Kshitij, ashish, mangesh, Rashmi, Sheeba, Garima, nita, swati, smita and myself) concluded that all of us would be spending our weekend under a waterfall :DDDD Surprised what sort of weekend plan is that :O:D This weekend the entire gang had been to the beautiful shivanasamudram falls ( a master piece of nature)……….

     As decided by the gang head, Kshitij, we decided to start by 4:00 am in the morning from our PG. Ours being the tarting point, we girlies were the victims of getting up early in the morning, specifically sheebz & rash :DDD Garry and myself were like having a sleeping contest in spite of the fact that we had decided this time to get up at one alarm ring, which obviously never happened. Finally rash had to wake us up @5:00 am. Mind it already we were late by 1 hr :DD Finally our den creatures were all set to go by 5:30 am b-) Kshitij came with our sawari (travera) and then rash,sheebz, garry, Kshitij and myself started off @5:45 am.

     The next halt was at ashish & mangesh’s place. I always had this feeling that girls take hell lot of time to get ready for any trip or journey. But all my thinking were proved wrong by ashish & mangy. They made us wait for more than ½ hr and finally what we saw, ashish coming up with an air bag of his size… was he planning for a one-day trip or a week tour :DD Then we concluded may be he might have taken clothes to get it washed in the waterfall :DD After picking up the VIPs of the trip our next task was to pick up nita and smita.. Here too we had to wait for sometime. The only person who was fully punctual was swati b-)

     Once all the gang members were picked up, we were all set on our way to shivanasamudram (A place 200 kms away frm b’lore). After having had brkfast at one of the outlets on the way, we made a move towards our destination.. During the trip we got to know the DJying skills of kshitij. If you wanna finish a 1 hr CD in 10 mins time u can approach our DJ Kshitij :DDD Seems it wasn’t a good day for Kshitij… he was the only person whose leg was being pulled :DDD DJ ji ka din hi kharab tha :DDD The four girlies from our PG rash, garry, sheebz & myself had a gala time at the back seat and were doing fultoos masti sitting @the back… Will remember throughout our code stmt -- “Sakhat A maga” :DDDDD

     Finally after a journey of arnd almost 3 hrs we reached our destination – the so-called shivanasamudram. The first place we reached was the top view of the falls… Herein after doing a short photography session, we started on our final destination -- 15 kms from the current location – the bottom of the falls. After a few climbs up and down we finally reached a spot where we could feel the falls and water within ourselves… Once in the water we ppl were behaving as if we had been released from some zoo :DDD Ppl who were there would never have taken us for the so-called sophisticated s/w professionals. Have to accept it was like, saara professionalism b’lore main chodhkar gaye the wahan :DDD Now once in the water we were split into three gangs…based on our location @different rocks in the flowing water… And it was like a water war going on btwn the three gangs :DDDDD The only snds that could be heard was ‘ATTACK’. Ashish was the person who njoyed splashing water the most :PPP Once we got the chance we took a good revenge on ashish too :DDD The place is simply superb and playing in the water was an awesome experience….. Truly people have said somewhere within us there is a mind of a small kid.. and I witnessed tht yesterday……

     We were in the water for some 3 hrs time and finally when the water flow started increasing we decided to make a move half heartedly…. Being in the water never even once realized hunger.. but once out of the water everyone was feeling damn hungry.. Now as per our plan we were also supposed to visit a place called ‘talakkad’ some 20-25 kms away frm this place. So we decided to have lunch there….During the trip towards talakkad the backside of the vehicle(i.e. the place where we PGmates were located) appeared as though it had gone numb with we four occupants fast asleep there :DD Maybe we were the only ones tired with the water sports :DDD

     Now once at talakkad, we could go only uptil the entry point of talakkad in our private vehicle. Due to some pooja happening there private vehicles were allowed only uptil a point 2.5 kms away frm the actual place. After having parked our vehicle, we decided to walk down uptil cauvery river or find a rick to make us reach our destination.. But finally we reached the destination in a tempo ;)))) Every passer by on the road were staring @us as if we were some aliens who have landed frm mars :DDD But it was a gr8 experience in itself….. Finally the tempo fella dropped us @ a point some ½ kms away frm cauvery river!!

     On our way to the river we found one small house cum hotel and decided to have lunch there….. The lunch was an R&D session, but the results of the same were fantafabulous. We had bread with butter, jam and some namkin.. hainaa ekdum desi sandwich ;):DD Finally after having such a gala lunch we started our journey towards cauvery river… Once there we realized tht a journey of almost 27 kms from shivanasamudram to talakkad only was for a boating :DDDD After the long walk whn we reached cauvery river we could find only ppl boating :(((( finally we had to be satisfied with the boating but it was fun during the boating session b-) garry was the most happiest person coz she got her orkut profile pic cliked with our boatman ;):P:DDDD

     Finally Once completed with our cauvery river boating part, we started on our journey back uptil out vehicle. During our walk sheebz and myself got attracted to some toy monkeys being sold by a vendor. Out of fascination we got 2 of them, the best part was they were making a snd more like some sparrow than a monkey :DD Finally we gave them wonderful names chickoo and mickoo :PPP Meanwhile others in our gang were trying to figure and auto which could take us back to our destination… But as it would have been we had a hard time finding a rickfella. Finally after loads of attempt we made a move in bus no. 11( started walking). After of walk of say ½ hr managed to get one at a very high price…. Six of us were beautifully stuffed in one rick and the rest of the gang members in another /):D

     Finally after so many hardships we reached our vehicle… There ashish tried hand at taking out the vehicle.. Must say he is a very good driver :DDD he believes in starting the vehicle in any other gear, but one :PPP On the trip back it was as if only the driver was wide awake and the rest all were in deep slumber. Finally after a journey of say more than 3 hrs we entered b’lore by 9:40 pm and then the nxt gr8 job to be accomplished was to have dinner… Finally we decided to have it at aangan, koramnagla…. Must admit the dinner was fabulous.. may be it was the company and the hunger tht made it all the more gr8….

     When I started out for this trip i knew only Sheebz, garry, Rashmi and kshitij from the gang… but to be frank by the time we reached shivanasamudram I got so familiarized with the newbies tht I never ever felt tht I was meeting them for the first time…. Have to admit mangesh, nita, smitha and ashish are fun to be with. Rashmi, Sheebz and garry are always the sweethearts who can make my day and our DJ Kshitij is a gr8 person to be with. Ashish was the prank master amongst all… Special thanks to ashish for the butter phulka :DD It was really a gr8 weekend minus the pains inflicted at various parts of the body :DD These water fresh memories will be there with me throughout my life…… Hope to enjoy many more of them…….

Loved and Lost................

Aasama ke tare aksar puchte hai humse ....
"Kya tumhe aj bhi intezaar hai uske laut aane ka"
Aur yeh dil muskurake kehta hai
"Mujhe to ab tak yakin na hua uske chale jane ka"

      Too sentimental a shayari.. but it has expressed so much about a person who has loved and lost…. Would definitely like to thank the person who send me this, she is my most intimate friend and has always been there for me through all thick and thin of my life….Wondering why am I talking about being in love and then losing it, hmm interesting thing to talk about…….

      Have always witnessed people getting united in love except for some stupid kundali or caste thing creeping in between, so never ever felt a need to give a thought to the other side of the coin. Almost all of my friends did a love marriage at least people close to me. So never ever thought what would be the scenario wherein people never get united………

      My previous post was about love marriages not happening because of some weird reasons like caste and kundali. Herein the reason for love couples not uniting has its origin there, but then it’s the couples’s wish of separating out for their parent’s wish. Doesn’t that sound weird, but if you happen to experience something like this in your life you will definitely appreciate my thought out here….

      Have you ever wondered why sometimes parents don’t agree to the wish of their children of doing a love marriage, the reason may be they might have had a very successful arranged marriage or may be they can’t digest the fact that their son/daughter are mature enough to select a partner for themselves….. Lekin you know what the cases I have seen have been too good to set up as a model for anyone. The couples involved simply came upon the mutual decision of separating out for their parents’ sake…..

      Maybe the aftermath of this may be favorable and a source of happiness for the parents, but painful for the couples involved… But then again you have to always respect your parent’s coz they have always been with you throughout your life, better through every phase of your life……..

      So in case if you fall for someone I guess you should definitely approach your parents first before taking a decision of your own, coz I guess they deserve the first right to know about your life……. Eloping and getting married is just another way of showing off cowardice. You elope to get married coz you can’t face the situation.. But if you stand by the situation I guess you can be the best inspirational models society can have… Though you may not get united with the love of your life but you will always have the satisfaction of having made your parents happy with a sacrifice from your side….. Donno how many will support this statement of mine but I fully agree with the same…. I guess the best solution then would be think twice before you fall in love :DD


      Also would like to share these beautiful lyrics (bin tere kya hai jeena – woh lamhe) for all those have loved and lost. These lyrics truly are for such couples to survive the rest of their life in spite of the fact that they may be someone’s else’s partner in future……..

Bin tere kya hai jeena
Bin tere tya hai jeena
Meri dil ki rani tum
Meri kushiyon ka mausam
Mere Khwaabon ke tabeer
Mere sapno ki tasveeer
bin tere kaisi yaaar
woh jeet ho ya haar

tere sang ke hai sab kuch..
tu naa ho to bekaar...

bin tere kya hai jeena..
Bin tere kya hai jeena..

Suni khali raatein
Rookhi feeki baatein
Har ahat per chowkun
tujhko harsuu dekhon
tujhko har dum sochon
tujhko har pal chaahon
Tere bin to jeevan mera hai intezaaar.

bin tere kya hai jeena
bin tere kya hai jeena

Tere saath jeeeye jo pal
kuch unse nahi badh kar
Tere khatir saaans main loo
Tere khaatir jeeta hoon
Marne ki tammna bhi mein
Tere saaath main rakhta hoon

Tu hai jeene ke wajhe hai
Tu kar mera aitbaar.
Bin tere kya hai jeena
Bin tere kya hai jeenaa
Bin tere kya hai jeeenaaa
Bin tere kya hai jeenaa

      Isn’t it true…………………. By now you might have figured out the basic essence of the shayari….This shaayari is soley dedicated for those who have taken the mutual decision of separating out for their parent’s wishes and still have the beloved somewhere in their heart……….

Marriages are made in Heaven.... or earth!!!!

     The title itself is sarcastic in itself.... Surprised!!! When you have read my post probably you may also be the one to support the first stmt in my post.....

     This thought and corresponding post on the same notion came to me coz of some very weird situations and things that have been happening around me. It was, is and will always be a true belief that love can happen anywhere and anytime. Being in love is an altogether different and beautiful experience within itself.... As ppl say, once in love, its as if you are the only creatures in this world. Ohh why am I going on and on with this love stuff… isn’t my post supposed to be talking about the end of a love life – so called most awaited marriage stuff. Think twice is that the end of all love relations!!!! I happened to witness two such scenarios, though there may be many more, which adds to the fact the marriages are not anymore an heaven affair but fully and solely owned by ppl on earth :DD

Scenario 1 :

     Lately some of friends had the pleasure of being in love with the person of their choice. Finding the sheer glow of happiness in their life getting reflected on their face made me all the more happier. But lately these lines of happiness are fading and am sure the days are not far when it will be replaced fully by sadness:(((( The reason a beautiful love life ended harshly and reason pretty insane – kundali/horoscope didn’t match.

     Being a part of the Indian society is a curse sometimes when it comes to marriages especially a luv marriage. Many a times arranged marriages also go this traumatic process of so called kundalli/horoscope matching stuff. I have always been against such kundalli stuff, but can’t help if am also forced to undergo all these procedures under some social pressure :DDD In arranged marriage I thnk it doesn’t matter much coz u don’t have particular attachment to the guy/gal you meet. But in case of luv marriages its like an end for the couples involved if they are not allowed to marry just coz the kundalli/horoscope thing didn’t work out.

     Isn’t this an insane thing still pretty much supported by the Indian society? Hasn’t it been the case that arranged marriages also end up in divorce even after the kundalli/horoscope matching stuff….I think u come to love a person based on the compatibility level u share with him/her. It is possible that a friend may become a lover in the long run, the reason is pretty simple their frequencies match and they care for each other. They can understand each other and a slight change in your body lang. is easily understood by ur partner when ur in love!! So does kundalli really have the power to decide whether two ppl who love each intimately can live together happily….

Scenario 2 :

     A few days back my second cousin called up out of the blue to share a beautiful moment in his life – “Didi I m in love”. The first words I that came out of my mouth was “Congr8s dear”. The consequent stmts btwn us was common. “What’s her name, where is she from, what is she doing..” Mind it never once I asked which caste she belonged to, probably coz that doesn’t matter much to me!! But when I came to she is a Christian I was a bit unhappy, brooding over the fact that will this relation be accepted by our family as I did…

     The answer is a big “NO”. Here the reason is slightly more insane and different. Being from a higher “Nair” caste, getting married to a caste lower than ours is considered as a big crime in kerala. And in my cousin’s case its like a gr8 bhuchal kinda stuff thts gonna happen… Its not the case with our caste.. I think almost all of the castes in India are pretty much orthodox, when it comes to inter-caste marriages....

Will this end??

     When we were born, when we went to school sat with fellow students or when we made friends…. did we ever bother about these caste or kundalli stuff. Did we ever bother to compare our kundalli’s with our friends to find out how compatible we are, then why these irrelevant horoscopes or castes gain importance when it comes to marriage or unison of two lovers…Never got an answer to all my above questions….But one thing I have accepted is :

“All Love doesn’t end in Marriage”

     Now my consistent nightmare is if this is the scenario, then to get a bakra for myself I will definitely have to go through all these tedious and horrible procedures.. Agar yahi procedure zindagi bhar chalta raha toh lagta nahi is janam main koi bakra fasega :DDDD

Ek Bheegi Si Sham..........


To me rainy days have always been the romantic time… I donno whether others are believers of the same.. but I do believe it to be one of the finest seasons u can witness, the only condition being it shuldn’t become the one that adds to ur misery.....

The first rains of b’lore this year was and will always be memorable for me, not becoz I happened to get drenched in the same, but coz I got the chance to get drenched in the rains at a very beautiful spot, at a weird time (11:00 pm) and with a very good friend of mine ;))):DDDD But that was say 2 months back. After that night it seemed as if b’lore was totally engulfed in heat waves.

Last year when I landed in b’lore I used to curse the frequent rains in b’lore. It used to be like whenever I didn’t carry an umbrella, it would rain like hell that very evening and ultimately I used to get drenched fully :((((((( Then my consistent stmt used to be “Ye Baarish thamthi kyon nahi” :DDD But this year the curse content differed “B’lore main baarish kyon nahi ho rahi hai” :DDDDD Now thats what you say cribbing about everything you get whether good or bad :PPPPP

The present day scenario in b’lore is normal, with rains every evening – making the climate here all the more cooler…. Aah these days evenings are romantic out here in b’lore .. a perfect place for couples I guess ;))))) But the incident that I witnessed wasn’t the one of my imaginations.. although it wasn’t bad either.....

Last Thursday, I had an official appointment with Mr. X, at his work place. Amidst loads of work I somehow managed to schedule an an official meet at arnd 5:30 pm. Now as it would have been the beginning of the day itself wasn’t gr8, I came to office pretty late say 1 ½ hr late :DDD The reasons are ample for the same – beginning with late hrs of working I have been witnessing these days and in addition to that the late night calls :DDDD kaise koi late nahi hoga :PPPP. By 4:45 I made a move to meet Mr. X. At that moment I was quiet sure it wouldn’t rain from the weather condition outside. So I didn’t bother to carry my windsheater as a precautionary measure, all the more coz my destination was just 5-6 kms away from my working location.

As would have been this time too, my bhavishyavani went hayway :DDD It wouldn’t have been even 2 kms and it started raining like hell, with wind blowing at its full rage. Just a single shower and I was fully and totally drenched… The only part of my body to be safe from rains, was my head and face which was fully safe within my helmet :PPPP It was fun if it would have been rain alone, but the angry wind was shivering me like anythng. It was so pathetic a situation, to control myself and the scooty I was driving :(((((( Finally somehow I managed to reach the destination fully drenched..

Once inside the company premises, it seemed as if I was the centre of attraction. Adding fuel to the fire was the fact that the person whom I was supposed to meet was already engaged in some meeting which got scheduled at the eleventh hour. But somehow the receptionist helped me out with a towel and some tissues :DDD Finally Mr. X came and the very site of me made him feel pity on me.

Inspite of the fact that I was totally drenched he offered me a seat inside his cabin which meant I would be spoiling the office carpet with the water dripping from my clothes. Not only did he offer me a seat on one of those sophisticated chairs in his office, he also offered me the coffee which he had made for himself. As it was raining outside he didn’t want meet to drive back home in that condition, so he asked me to wait there uptil the time rain subsides a bit. Meanwhile I was totally in a dilemma to continue with what I had come for or else keep mum. Finally as it would have been I began with the official talks and somehow with passage of time it didn’t turn out to be the one we were supposedly meeting for.

We began talking with the official stuff and ended up knowing each other personally. I was surprised to find a person having so many similarities as mine ranging from acads to professional life to personal!!! Forgot to mention in the meantime, I had 3 cups of coffee :DDD and himself 4 cups :DDD If it hadn’t been for my mobile, I would have never realized that the rains had stopped long back and I had to make a move from that place. The talks were so interesting that I never even once thought that I was totally drenched and shivering few moments back. While bidding adeau we both exchanged mailids to keep in touch…..

If the furious rain can get me such good frnds I don’t mind getting wet again :DDD But to be frank a nice way of getting introduced to an official person personally... And spl thnx to the coffee he offered.... Will have those wet memories afresh throughout my life... woh bheegi si shaam bhi kuch ajeeb thi..

A Dream Drive....


      I have always had this imagination of going on a long drive with the special someone.... But alas!! Unless and until I don’t find that special someone (“bakra” – his nick, gifted by my dear friends), this wish of mine will remain a wish forever :DDDD Waise I am not that unhappy after having got a chance to go on such a long drive…

      Shuruat hui mere unke entry se.... mere sapno ka rajkumar instead of coming on a ghoda came straightway on a bike :D. Then as it should have been he took my hands and made me comfortable behind him.. I was totally clutching him.. although couldn’t hold him entirely in my arms. Was it he was fat or was it my arms weren’t of sufficient length :DDD Finally having made comfortable we set out on our so called long drive.. Such a beautiful place. with no traffic, not many vehicles or human beings fooling around and all the more beautiful trees with pink flowers on both the sides. Wow what a romantic drive it was with such enchanting surroundings....

      We were fully enjoying the drive through the arms of mother nature ;)). Ahhh what a romantic time it was:DDD. All of a sudden a weird sound disturbed the love birds. It sounded to me like some crackers, and to him as if some stone getting pelted by the wheels of the bike. Being in a beautiful world of our own, he said “Ho sakta hai hamaare Milan ki khushi main pathake phoot rahe ho, mann main” :DD And with that conclusion we once again got engrossed with our beautiful long drive...

      It would have been say some 40 mins drive, when a loud burst interrupted our romantic journey abruptly. Uhhhhhhh again!!! This time none of us could even utter a word or run the horses of our imagination. The blunt truth was Milan ke pathake had become a well-formed bomb by now. The tyres had gone flat. Now what to do next in the midst of the journey that too so far away from their actual destination??

      The flat tyre had almost brought us to the world of reality and what I saw next was both of us pushing the vehicle hard to reach some garage.. Finally after a walk of 1 kms or so, luckily we got a garage. Now while the puncture was getting repaired.. we got back to our world of romantic talks, but again kabaab main haddis. Naahhhhhhhh this time neither a flat tyre nor some human was the culprit.. but saala machchar… And the girlie(thts me hopefully :D) was the centre of attraction for them and the guy was busy killing them.. Uhhhhhhhhhhh now that’s what you can say a perrrrrrrfeeeeeeeeeeeecttttttttttttt date :DDDDDDDDD And being in that world it was like when the long drive will come to an end and along with that all the traumas that came as a discount offer :D

      Once having got the bike repaired, we once again set back on the long drive. Just after say 1 km again a truck behind started blowing horn asking for side. I was irritated all the more coz there was ample amount of space for 4 such trucks to pass by and still why was he blowing the horn and out of sheer frustration I started yelling at the truck fella. To this I got a tight pat on my back..

      What was it this time :Oooo Ohhhhhhhhhhh not again!!!!!!!! The alarm had gone and my roomie was there yelling at me for having disturbed her sleep again with my nonsense sleep talks :DDDDDDDDDD

      A dream of this sort is very rare for me coz generally human beings don’t become part of my dreams. Another great achievement on my part was to have remembered the same... But one thing for sure is, I won’t go on a long drive anywhere, coz if in dreams it can be so frustrating toh real life main toh it’ll be totally gone case :DDD Overall a romantic, cool, adventurous and above all perfect date – that’s what I can say :D...

Unconditional Love.......

     Love comes in different forms at different times of life.. But unconditional luv comes rarely and we never realize uptil the time it has gone far away from us. It’s the same for majority of the living creatures in this universe. May be too much to include the entire universe.. but then again the truth is love knows no bounds.

     Not only myself, hopefully every other person might have witnessed this unconditional luv at some point in life. Beginning with the birth of the child until his/her death, he/she witnesses many forms of luv and sometimes gets lucky to have such a kind of unconditional luv, may be through friends, relatives or the spl someone.

     Wondering what my definition of unconditional luv includes – ohh nothng gr8.. “Give anything under the sun to that special friend, special ppl or special someone in your life without any expectations of any kind in return...” To put it down in words or preach the same is too easy but to practice in reality is too difficult. Inspite of the fact that I got ample amount of unconditional luv at different points in my life, frankly speaking never ever could practice the same to the fullest... except for may be some times which outnumbers the time ppl have done the same to me :))

     Once someone had imbibed into my mind – “If someone offers u a seat beside u there may be some selfish motive behind that”. Still to this day I sometimes keep getting confused between the truth and blunt truth I have faced in my short life uptil now. Sometimes I get disappointed when I don’t get the expected care and attention from the ppl whom I respect and crave for a lot.. and least expectedly I always just turn my bak to the ppl who unconditionally, everytime bestow so much of luv and affection on me.. is it some selfish motive acting behind their grateful act or is it again unconditional luv.. but after having witnessed so many ups and downs I can finally differentiate between unconditional luv and selfishness..

     I used to be a very selfish creature during my school days uptil 2nd yr engg. My classmates and collegemates used to get irritated by my very nature.. “So many mood swings and alongwith that selfishness.. god knows how this girlie survives” -- used to be their consistent thought with every passing moment in life.But one thing for sure is they still helped me whenever I required.. can’t that be considered a gr8 example of unconditional love :)) They were, are and will be always my sweet and close frnds for all they have done in tolerating a stone-hearted person like me :DDDD

     When it comes to me, to give the same I hesitate.. thnking why should I give a person who will never ever return me bak the same.. But I have been so wrong. And for this change in thought of mine there are some special ppl. They have influenced my ideas greatly. One of thm has to be my Big B and parents whose unconditional luv has and will always be above all of them and is incomparable.

     The others are the special ppl I came across my lifetime. My intimate friend Tyagi is a live example of the same.. He has always given me and seen to it that I get all happiness of life.. without even expecting a simple “hi” or “smile” from me in return. Initially I used to thnk was it his selfishness to get my frndship. But gradually understood thats what I can describe my sweet friend in one line as “Giver of unconditional luv”. He has been the same to any other person, no doubt have been somewhat partial to me. But yup there are others also who taught me the same thing in b’bay through b’lore and pretty much on orkut and I can’t mention all of their names, the very reason being that every other person whom I met through orkut and became close to can be categorized in the above category :)))) Thnx to all my online and offline buddies for having given my life the beauty of this unconditional luv… Once again being selfish in quoting – “Hope to get this unconditional luv all through my life”...

     Can’t help mentioning abt the origin of this thought and consequent post on the topic of “Unconditional Love”.. Got inspired by a telugu movie “Arya” based on the same theme… and see how I penned down such a long post………… Thts the charm of “Unconditional Love”....

A long wait....

     S stood there in front of girls hostel, waiting for Iris, every morning. S was never impunctual in any of his deeds nor was Iris.. But what was making Iris take unsually such a long time today.. making it a long wait for S. 10 mins passed and within this time S weaved all sorts of weird thoughts of her getting late. He re-thought was it his craze that made him forget it to be another weekend. But no, it wasn’t,it was just Tuesday.. Neither the day nor the time of 9:00 am in the morning was a culprit.. something somewhere was wrong…

     Another 15 mins passed with S never realizing the fact that he was already 20 mins late for the most awaited campus interview of his life. But then again as people say love is blind. But I disagree… wasn’t it true that he wished only to see wht was the demand of tht moment. All the more coz S was totally blindfolded by Iris’s love and same was the case with Iris. Finally after a long wait Iris appeared somewhere behind the security at the entrance of the girls hostel..

     It was the most awaited moment for S and it was totally visible in every expression that took shape on S’s face… Iris walked out of the gate and confronted S who was as ever with the same charming smile on his face even without a single drop of complain. But S found the full absence of that mesmerizing and charming smile, usually well – knit on Iris’s face. The long wait never even slightly had an impact on S.. but now the killing thing was the very presence of Iris’s blank face.. what, when and how went wrong and that too within few hrs of night time (where they weren’t 2gether)...

     Finally after a long pause as usual S took the initiative to wish her a sweet "good morning" and it didn’t take long for Iris to get a small curve of artificial smile on her face… Without uttering even a single word Iris started walking with S on her side, to cover the distance from her hostel to their dept… Both of them felt the distance never ending with the killing silence having engulfed both of them. Finally S took the initiative and asked "Whats the matter??"...Iris ended every chance of further questioning with a simple answer "S I m finally leaving..."

     S was totally blank to pose any other question…what was wrong on his part for her to have taken such a decision… And finally a retrace back made him understand many a things… And his only next question was "where????". The answer Iris gave drained him of all the pleasures in life that he had already dreamt of, for the next 7 births. She had not only decided to leave the place but also S… what was the reason never anyone knew except for S and Iris, which Iris finally shared on their last date at their favorite spot and that too that very night at 12:00 (what a time and location)…

     The only thing that remains today is the long distance separating S and Iris... and more to it Iris is getting married shortly.... S and Iris are still madly in love but the name for that love has changed... hope in next birth they get united without the insane reason that separated them out in this birth.....
