Beep brr beep brr…

There goes my phone, staring at the phone; a smile appears on my face.

Text message from Shreya

“What happened? Why no replies?”

And the smile stretches.
Isn’t this the story with every guy?? By know you must be thinking that she is my girlfriend and etc.

I won’t blame you guys; there is lot of Bollywood running through us. She is my best friend, and I love irritating her. So this was one of my ways to do so, I wanted to write and so I shut my phone for a while. But I won’t disappoint you by telling that I don’t have feelings for her.

“Nothing was caught up with something, what you doing?”

Delivered to, Shreya.

That makes my day, every time I am down, and this point of time I did need this text. It is nothing new, a guy falls in love with his best friend. The same love bug had bit me, but yes unlike the other guys who are scared to tell the girl, I did tell her that I have feelings for her.

Beep brr beep brr...

“what something?”

“Cleaning my room, not like you who keeps it dirty :P “

 Delivered to, Shreya.

It’s been two months since I told her, and after that there was a lot drama, but eventually I convinced her that my feelings aren’t going to affect our friendship and we’ll be friends for life, nothing else.

We guys always end up falling for the wrong one, and when we fall for the right one, it’s just the wrong timing. Damn! I mean listen to this. Shreya and I studied together in school till class 4 and then she left school, and she came back again in class 7, she left again. I had no clue where and how she was until two years back, I met her on Facebook, and we started chatting, then slowly texting and then slowly that turned to calls and that still goes on. I had never thought I’d ever know a girl so well, keeping in mind how difficult it is to understand them. I had gone through a break up a few months before I got in touch with her, and she was on the verge of one. Initially all I was looking for was a person whom I could talk to, talking for me is like John Abraham or Sonam kapoor trying to act. Seriously it isn’t something I am proud of. When the days turned to weeks, and the months to a year, it’s only then I realised how close we had got.  In that year, we shared our aspirations, what we liked, what we didn’t and so on. It turned out to be the same. Like I love Chinese food, and so does she, (I know half the world does!) don’t pull me on that, then we like reading, we like sad songs, the old melodies of Bollywood, I really don’t know what fusion music is but all I know is I like it when I listen to it, so does she. I mean the list goes on. Cooking is something I like to do and baking is

A TREK to Remember!

It all began when we wanted a weekend break which would rejuvenate our minds and make us believe that the world isn’t against us and we can have fun too. What we didn’t know was it was almost going to break our bones and make us miserable for the entire following week. Yet it all began with 2 of us who were so convinced with the entire itinerary of the trip that we believed it was made JUST for US! So when it came to roping in more people for the fun trip we assumed it to be, we were better than Rocket Singh “salesman of the year” and that’s when I wonder what if I was a sales guy! A staggering 13 people were a part of the legen… (Wait for it)...DARY trip to our very own, most beloved SANDHAN VALLEY! YES 13! Eventually after it all got over I was wondering who got fooled me or them! You know the time when you have planned about sitting under the sky, holding a glass of scotch (in our case rum) with some light music and a bunch of great people around you with laughter galore a...

I was at home attending school, living the life of a normal child; it was on the weekends that he made up for the absence during the week. He took me to the slums the first day and then only on the day when it was no longer a slum. I was surprised, and only then did I realise, what he had done in those 5 years. People got fresh water, proper electricity, proper homes to stay; they had a hospital and even a school now. It was all happening. He was there on all news channels and newspapers. Some even rated him as the next PM.   The next step was the toughest and the one which made all the difference.                                                                          The Birth March, 2021. He gathered people one after the other, and two years before the next election he...

Educated Fools: Just education will not change the world

We are an informed generation. Smartphone, internet, websites have enriched our lives with information. The ability to stare at a 5 inch glass screen and getting to know about what is going on in any corner of the world is astounding. Viral videos, social experiments, latest news will not change the world, whereas understanding them, questioning the motive behind them, transforming information to knowledge will enrich the world and make it a better place. Everywhere I go, I hear people say, “What can I do, all this is way beyond my power”. Saving water, saving electricity, speaking up to wrong just around you, these are things all of us can do. We do not need a revolution for this. One can as many social campaigns on YouTube or Facebook, like/up vote them share them, but it will still not change the world, unless we apply it in our lives. I would like to address instances of hypocrisy, disrespect to natural resources witnessed among educated individuals in our society: ...
