You: “May be in another lifetime “.

Me : “Will there be another life? What if I don’t remember you then?”

You : “So?”

Me : “This life is all I have.”

You looked at me and I looked at you. I couldn’t have given up, no matter how...

Her dreams were as big as her brother’s and aspirations as high as her male colleagues’.

Her responsibilities were no less than her dad’s and workload as much as her husband’s.

There was a lot of noise around,

And she failed to find her peace,

So she closed all the doors and windows, 

And did find some relief,

 Eventually  the noises entered her house too,

And they seemed to follow her everywhere, 

She anxiously looked here and there,

And realised...

BUCKET LIST

While cleaning, she came across old diaries full of her forgotten writings. And… there it was, a bucket list prepared twenty years back. A list of things she wanted to have. But now, it looked trivial. She had everything on the list but they seemed no more important.

She made a...

When You met Me,

Me was me,

And You was You,

Then Me started changing,

To live up to You,

And in some time,

And You looked at Me,

For the first time Me thought,

Who am I ?

I often thought why you had eyes only for me?

Why was I so special for you?

Was it something about me or something about you?

Times change, they say..

You became me and I became you,

And now I know…

I haven’t ceased to be special,

But you have become ‘cool’,

Just the way I was,

Just...

He drifted away slowly while she talked,

Drifted to his captivating world on his gadget,

Drifted to be with his imaginary friends,

Drifted to challenge the computers and to beat them at their own game,

And just like that, another beautiful relationship lost its existence to virtual reality.

Machines slowly took over humanity even before...
