Our Story

Once upon a time not long ago,
we were in love or at least we thought so.

Our story did not start with hatred,
it was simply friendship at its best.

Friends we were then, friends we are now,
or we just console ourselves by saying so.

In between somehow love crossed our paths,
and the feeling of first love arose in our hearts.

Our love wasn't ever biased or partial,
it never had any place for betrayal.

Not was anybody ignored by us,
but we could not control what others thought.

We were sure that our love would last forever,
but alas! every story has to have a conclusion.

It was a sad ending, everyone said,
distance, impatience and I were to blame.

Still we continued to fight and talk,
the break up never seemed the way it should have been though.

Awkward silence always filled the space,
Yet we continued to try and share.

Our ending always seemed incomplete,
I thought, a last meeting is all that we need.

Misunderstandings played a great role,
But somehow we still had to go on.

Hopes were alive even when one of the hearts said it moved on,
because the other heart was still in love.

Guilt and hurt always occupied it,
no matter, if the other said he was out of it.

My heart was supposed tp be shattered,
when entered the third heart.

That moment was completely blank,
when it should have been all emotional.

It wasn't hard to believe or accept,
that you found someone again to take care.

In a way, it was a moment of relief,
for your heart already suffered a lot because of me.

Now that you have been blessed with a new beginning,
the incomplete end now has to seem complete.

Meeting does not have to play any role any more,
probably it is time for me to move on.

No one ever said it would be easy,
for there's still awkwardness in pronouncing our names separately.

Our story would always be cherished,
for it probably ended with indirect mutual understanding.

My heart many a times whispers, "May be it's not the end."
Believing so would further give me pain.

So I just smile knowing ,
"Now you're just a habit which would someday fade."

(-: HOPEFULLY :-)

Leukemia... Not Just a Disease!

People who have not suffered from leukemia think it is a deadly disease, obviously they’re right and for people who come to know that they’re suffering from leukemia are most of the times devastated, provided they know what leukemia is! And as far as my reaction is concerned…well then I was not in a state of shock because then I just knew I had some kind of a problem in my blood and I did not even know leukemia is blood cancer. It was 6 months after my treatment started that I came to know what Leukemia is…Thanks to my Grandfather! Even then I wasn’t upset much, probably just a bit, as I knew I am going to be fine. For me, Leukemia was never just a disease, when I say never I mean it. It has given a meaning to my life. My stay in CMC, Vellore and my Leukemia has taught me a lot of things which some people fail to learn and realize in their life time. Here are six of my realizations:          There is no bigger exam than LIFE itself - Life is t...

Why am I Single? ? ?

  Because I have built walls around my heart. So even if someone starts getting close to me they cannot penetrate through the walls as I have used Ambuja cement. [:-P] And if by any chance I get a proposal, I am angry about it. So you see, NO chance!   Because I cannot imagine falling in love, not that it is something to imagine but still ‘Me in Love' is the joke of my life and I can really laugh about it for hours. In fact I have been laughing for a long while now. [Hopeless Romantic of all times.]   Because even though it was for a short time period but I had the best relationship which had no demands, no expectations, and no complaints. When they started arising, the relationship ended. [:-P] Because I cannot tolerate any kind of dominance and the ones I see these days, ‘Why do you upload your photo on FB’ ‘Deactivate your account’ ‘You can’t talk to other guys’ ‘you can’t click a photo with them because you’re with me’ 'blah blah blah'  are ...

Dear Hypothetical Kids, For once Moon was your Mother's Muse!

I spent the entire day reading about the once-in-a-lifetime lunar eclipse.  Super Blue Blood moon.  ‘Can the name not be short?’, I thought just like I had thought about my cancer - Pre B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, ten years ago. I saw people sharing the time of eclipse’s visibility in different places.  ‘Ahh, not in India.’ Cool things never happen in India,  sighed the multiple-times-disappointed-kid in me.  But, then. I saw someone share the time of visibility in the metro cities of India.  I googled immediately, ‘Lunar eclipse visibility in Hyderabad.’ I saw many articles describing the reasons behind this particular eclipse being unique. I gave it a thought, not much. I am not one of those moon-watchers, you see. The idea of moon’s beauty brought the idea of longing lovers.  I tried, I tried really hard, to bring together love, longing, and moon. It never happened. But, for a little while, somewhere in my...
