Every lane-bylane , nook and corner looked fascinating. He imagined her in every part of the city. May be she had a coffee here or a burger there or perhaps some time waited for a bus on the spot where he was standing. There was a spring in his steps as if he was going...

“Do I look good?” He asked her, getting ready for the party.
“Yes”. She said.
“Do I look handsome?” He asked.

It was a secret chamber wherein, the dirty secrets were shoved off. Bhaiyya’s syringes, mom’s cigarette butts and Escitalopram tablet wrappers, dad’s photos with different aunties and used liquor bottles. The dustbin swallowed everything and he was very scared of it.

She looked at the sea intently and asked him pointing at the horizon, “what happens when you reach there?”
“You find new horizons lying ahead”. He replied.
“I wonder how the other side of the shore looks like”. She sighed.
He gave her an atlas and said,”why don’t you find it yourself”.

I touch the wall of the dilapidated building and the paint begins to peel off. The names of the best friends aren’t there anymore. I try to relive the days spent here. Running in the corridors as a kid, sitting on the parapet and gossiping with friends, looking at the boards sometimes with a blank...
