Convenience

"It's easy for you to choose a convenient way", said he.
"Yes",  I agreed.

It is so easy for each one of us to judge other's action. We think the whole world is on the greener side whereas we are left to deal with our own insecurities. Isn't it easy to keep ourselves in denial than face the ugly truths of life? Perhaps not,  to keep someone in denial is being selfish, it's choosing convenience instead of pushing oneself to face the crude reality.

I knew I was being selfish but perhaps I was not being true to myself. There is this threshold in your life which when you reach, you realise you had had enough. Enough of hurting others, enough of being judged, enough of expecting the unachievable and it
is in that very moment you come home to yourself :tired, broken yet true to yourself. You question your selfish soul, bargain with your adamant heart, pacify your judged self and at the end you sit down and let things be as they are meant to be. You no longer put on petty fights, you no longer fear judgements, opinions hardly bother you.

For, since you have chosen your convenient way you no longer have the right to fuss around.

Let you no longer be fooled by the greener side, grey is what belongs to you.

It might sound easy but to put yourself on someone else's shoe and live their story can never be convenience.

Afterall how do we decide what is convenient and what not! YOU NEVER LIVED HER SIDE OF THE STORY, DID YOU ?

"My love is enough for both of us"

"My love is enough for both of us", she often felt those words ring in her heart. She finally had understood that life wouldn't always follow her designs. That people are meant to leave but their memories won't. She often had wondered how someone could love her to such an extent when that person had always known that she wouldn't reciprocate those feelings. How could a person stand by her when she always acted as a fleeting shadow. She never had given hope for she knew the pain of dejection but he kept hoping like a hopeless vagabond. How she wished that he would some day hate her enough to let go. She devised ways to free him from this web, she acted cold, turned indifferent, did everything he detested and she finally saw some changes. It was a relief, he finally seemed to take hold of his life. She could see him grow responsible. He finally it seemed was learning to love himself. Phone calls died, meetings subsided, they become known strangers. All this while ...

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...

Home in the mountains

 The tiny mountain lights showed me home, Home: a fluid entity which marks no land. I opened my palms to feel the chill and yet I felt it's warmth in the way it held my gaze Unfaltering, of a different magnitude. I don't belong to the hills and yet A part of me was always here waiting, For me to claim my roots. And thus those lights,led me   home.
