Centuries...

“It never gets easier, missing you. And sometimes I wonder if it ever will.”
― Heather Brewer, Ninth Grade Slays 

It seems like centuries, since I had been made to part ways from you.

Centuries of togetherness but still loneliness prevailing in the darkest of the corners. Centuries filled with love, but still my heart longing for the love that’s unmatched. Centuries of happiness and bliss, but still my soul craving for that unbounded joy. Centuries filled with rendezvouses with friends and loved ones, but still surviving with the desire to see you once. Centuries of achievements and success, but still yearning to share them with you.

Looks like centuries have passed without you being next to me, pampering me, scolding me, guiding me, loving me, sharing my pains and joy, supporting me at every step of my life.

Almost every night, these questions trouble my mind, they revolve around my head to find an answer, at times jolting me with such a hard thrust that the answers start falling down my cheeks, through my eyes.

Why did I have to get married? Why did I have to leave my own house? Why did I have to leave you? Why was I expected to give your place to someone else in just a span of a moment? Why did I have to change my family? Why did I become a visitor in my own house? Who gave the authority to all to change my world upside down? Its you who took care of me, why can’t I do the same to you, when needed?

Why can’t I spend my whole life with you like boys do! Why all these rules were made only for girls? Why do we have to suffer the pain of being away from you for the rest of our lives? Why? You know nobody, absolutely nobody ever can fill the gap that this peculiar tradition creates in our lives. At least we can be considered to be asked for what we want: Life with you or without you….

You know it hurts… You know Life is incomplete with you… and guess, it will always be! 

P.S. I miss you

P.P.S. And I wonder at times, do you miss me too?

    Sometimes, I too have wondered about this - Why all these rules were made only for girls?

Dear Myntra and Flipkart, thanks for snatching away my freedom!

“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.”  ―  Charlotte Brontë ,  Jane Eyre I am an avid Shopaholic, a compulsive one! At times, I feel this is some kind of a disorder I am going through. The moment my salary is credited into my account, I start shopping! And within the first week, I am broke, I am left with no bones! And the rest of the month goes in waiting for the next salary! Its like my wallet has a hole. I guess it has... Anyways, boom of the online shopping sites have actually galvanised this disorder, much to my disdain. The moment I get little time in office, at home or for that matter anywhere on this planet, I just open my laptop and start browsing, drooling over the thousands and thousands of pretty shoes, dresses, accessories, just craving to see them in my wardrobe! I just always open these sites with an idea, rather a very clear one of 'window shopping' but then, in the middle I don't know wh...

The transformation of an arranged marriage to a love one!

“If I get married, I want to be very married.”  ― Audrey Hepburn Arranged marriages: Lets look at what wikipedia says about it: Arranged marriage is a type of marital union where the bride and groom are selected by a third party rather than by each other. It was common worldwide until the 18th century. Wait a second, does that say '18th century'. Yes, it indeed does. The world has moved on, and we, Indians are stuck, stuck in between a combat. A fight of deciding where to go, which side to choose and whom to follow: our old traditional culture or the west.  Anyways, arranged marriages still accounts for an overwhelming majority of marriages that happens on our land. Though we do celebrate love, but only in movies and we are doing that since last 4 decades, but when it comes to applying it literally, it suddenly becomes a stigma! Love marriages are still considered a taboo in major parts of our society. Anyways, I am definitely not here to mak...

Can you? Will you?

“People don’t like love, they like that flittery flirty feeling. They don’t love love - love is sacrificial, love is ferocious, it’s not emotive. Our culture doesn’t love love, it loves the idea of love. It wants the emotion without paying anything for it." ―  Matt Chandler Probably this is true and I actually believe in it very strongly. It's not love what people look out for - its jus that infatuation, those butterflies in the stomach, that excitement, that thrill, that desperation, that anticipation. Actually more than half of the love stories meet an unpleasant and terrible end, the moment all this enthusiasm and drama is gone from a relationship. Sad! but true. We no more (not generalizing), have those 'forever' happy afters. We no more have those relationships with the promise of being together for 7 births.  We don't even understand this word we use so frequently, called ‘Love’... its just not an emotion, its just not a feeling. It's beyond t...
