Green memories

It was Spring. She was cycling her way to reach school. The wind had filled her pockets and her heart, everything was so beautiful. Just then, at that very moment when she was supposed to take a swift turn, she could see a pair of eyes follow her. She was a carefree soul and it was alarming.

She kept on hoping for that pair of eyes to lose it's way but no, it kept on following her everywhere she went. So, one day after it had been almost a week of adventure, she stopped on her way to encounter those pair of eyes. She could see a lank boy, no bigger than her sheepishly smirking. But, no she was really offended and wanted an answer. To which he possibly had nothing to say, he only gave her one quick reply , that he wanted to be friends with her. He kept staring at the ground when she flung questions at him.

After having a good yell at him, she suddenly felt morose for she could see his ears go red and his heart possibly bruised. This was what she hated about her, her inability to hurt people. So, she walked up to him and said that they could be friends and she could see him flashing a wide smile. That smile which was enough to reveal his warmer side. Thus, she found a stalker who ended up being a friend.

She eventually found out that he wasn't a bad company at all. They would cycle their way together and share stories all their way for what they didn't have in common was their shared childhood.With time, their cycling adventures ended as life happened  but every time she thought of cycling, she couldn't help but smile about the beautiful memories she had with her friend.

Sea (ii)

"I want to see a setting sun", I told him as we sat in the shack looking at the bright sun gleaming over the waves. "Sure, let's not move anywhere", he readily jumped over the idea. We talked about everything that we had anticipated all along, this trip, our future together, family back home as we nonchalantly waited for the sun to set. It was only when the waiter brought a lamp to our side when I noticed that we had missed the whole idea of viewing the sunset! "Phew! I don't see the sun", I yelled out alarmed "laa", I heard him say. " Well, isn't it good that we can again come back tomorrow and sit in the same spot waiting for the sun to set", he remarked. Well, this is what I like about him. His ability to look at the positive side of life. Well, if not a sunset, we saw a pale moon's silvery gleam over those tall waves. We laughed and talked over endless cups of tea and food. While it was time to leave the shore, we di...

Miss sunshine learns to speak

 Well, years back I had wrote about Miss Sunshine. She was a meek soul who hid behind written words. She would smile coyly but couldn't speak back to people, she was yet to bloom. I can tell you this for I have seen her grow all along. How did she find her voice?, you may wonder. Well, it all began when she stepped into the world of teaching. She made new acquaintances. Some pulled her down, others accepted her for what she was and it was this acceptance that she had got which helped her grow comfortable in her skin. She had met someone special. Someone who with his unfaltering acceptance made her realise that she too was capable of being someone of worth. They built a rock solid friendship over the years. He pushed her to overcome her fears. Most importantly he made her own this space, this blog. His acceptance made her come out of her shell, she was slowly learning to grow wings. Today, as she scribbles, she remains indebted to him.  Time wasn't always kind to her. She suffe...

What 2021 taught me...

  While I was a kid, I was taught to make new year resolutions. The whole process was symbolic, a new year meant newer possibilities. This ritual has stayed by me. This year, before I move on to hope from a brand new year, I want to thank 2021 for all the life lessons it had to provide: 1. In days when everything seems lost and dim, work on yourself because you can't disappoint yourself but the world might by not recognizing your effort. 2. Change is the new constant. No matter how much you try, you change and people around us change and that is the only constant. 3. Life eventually leads you to someone (when you least expect) whom you can call your "home". That someone who helps you become comfortable in your own skin, he or she is the one that you unconsciously were always in search for. 4. Acknowledge your mistakes and work on them. Life allows scope for rectification. You can't be late as long as you have today and a brand new tomorrow. 5. Travel to any place and ...
