Journey of Mr.X

The waiting lounge in the airport was not that cheery as he expected, he bought a coffee and sat down on a cold chair in the depressing lounge. He checked his watch to note that he still had a long time, just then he heard her voice. "Excuse me, Can I join you?" He looked around himself to make sure she is talking to him and gestured her to sit down. He noted that she had no other place to sit, other than the chair vacant in his table. She placed her trolley neatly by her side and slide in the chair opposite to him, placed  her coffee down and smiled at him while she said "Thank you, I was hoping you were alone" He was bewildered, imagining her flirting with him at the first contact, he squinted his eyes skeptically while he asked "What?" She looked up to him, saw his expression and chuckled while she said "I mean, so that I can sit here. I didn't mean it in any other way" But before she said her explanation he was s...

Confessions 15 - Remembering

If I could write a letter to you, maybe a poem or a story I would have poured my heart out, eloquently listing out your charm, your smile and your love.  But alas I am not a writer like you nor could I become a partner like you. You had such a beautiful way to express yourself and you never missed an opportunity to show your love.  How is that after all this time, after all the fights, all the heartbreaks, questions, accusations and tears I can only remember your smile, your charm, your daily stories, your laugh. ... How is that after all this time, I still miss your presence, your essence in my life.  I remember those silent coffee mornings, busy breakfasts and chaotic evenings. Those crazy dances around the coffee table, the unending giggles at midnight. I miss you... I miss being with you, I miss loving you, I miss those snarky comebacks, I miss those judgemental fashion inputs, I miss ...... Didn't I tell you am not a writer.  I wonder do you remember...

Walking Partners - Adopted

  Hey Everyone, A huge hello from N here…. I have big news for all of you. It might be bit shocking but I trust in all of your abilities that you will find in your heart to accept me as I am Well…. To say in simple words   I Got Adopted recently……… Yes, a handsome, athletic, cutest one adopted me today. When he saw me with those beautiful eyes, (sigh)….. How can I describe the feeling when he walked along with me step by step, so agile, so charming, so caring to not collide with me. And how he looked out for me just walking few steps ahead to watch my path. I fell in love instantly, now when I go for a walk I look for him, my eyes automatically search for his presence and my heart wont find solace until I have laid my eyes on him. When he reaches out to get head scratches from me, I feel so blessed…….. And his puppy dog eyes, oh am sure this dog started the whole feel around the magic behind the puppy dog eyes…. I can’t believe I got adopted by a dog…. Am i...

Walking Partners - Ramesh Uncle

  Hi, N here, yes again ….. Its raining today, so no walking. I know I know you think I must be celebrating. That small joy of pretending “ Oh! Its raining ” while actually being happy to take an off day. But surprisingly its quite the opposite. Am rather bummed that its raining. The time I take for walking is purely my own personal space. I don’t think about anything else other than enjoying those minutes with myself. But more than me, I think Ramesh uncle will be more sad today. I won’t be surprised if he would still go for walking atleast for few minutes in this drizzle. Oh! Don’t look so confused. I will introduce you to Ramesh uncle. Most days when I walk I encounter Ramesh Uncle, we have never talked or communicated with each other in any way. Then how do I know his name? You ask!!! Well, who said I know him personally or know his real name, I have named him Ramesh Uncle because I kinda think that name suits him so well. He is an average height, average late fi...

Walking Partners - Couples

  Hi, Am back…. You did not honestly think that because I ended my rant with “I Conclude” that I really – completely – absolutely concluded, Did you? Well good that you didn’t? (we both know you did) Let me start again, Hi… N here again. Was listening to an audio book today, as today was bit lazy day, I was listening to a nice, cute, soft short story. And I was struck by how many couple walkers are there today. Or am dealing with confirmation bias, as I was listening about a couple. Anyhoo… I love to see couple walkers, they seem like they have their life put together. And you can definitely make out the different levels of marriage or relationships they are in by the way they walk. Oh! before I continue, let me be honest – “Me” that is - yours truly N and my loved one C are couple walkers. But you will never know that because we walk in opposite directions. Its true, when we started walking we were like any other couple, you know walking together, pointing out cut...

Walking Partners - 1

Ok, let me start with this question.  Have you ever gone on a walk?   For pleasure, exercise, family outing etc etc….. for anything for that matter.   I always thought I hated walking. Like who will purposefully get up in the morning, put on the walking clothes (if you are of that category of having different set of attire for walking) and shoes, go to the nearest lake or park with the walkway and walk …. Like just walk!!!  But sorry to burst your bubble my dear, I came to know that I love walking. And please don’t make a mistake that I love walking because it is so good for my health. No!... absolutely not, please don’t categorize me like that. I like walking because it is entertaining.   Yes, it is. And you cant change my mind about it. I am going to die on that hill of belief.   We walkers (Yes, I can term myself as a “walker” even though am a novice in it) have our own world, our own set of rules – unsaid of course, our own people an...

Confessions- jealousy

I have checked my phone 100,000 times now. Not a peep from you. I wonder how busy you must be to not even check your phone. Last seen on whatsapp is 3 hours ago. I have never seen you not checking your phone every 10 minutes. 3 hours..... What are you talking so much with her that you are occupied for 3 hours. Uff  Dee..... calm down dear heart I told myself. Don't beat so fast. Now matter how much you trouble the brain this gut wrenching anxiety won't go away. But still 3 hours... No.. It's 3 hours 10 minutes now... I bet she came in your favourite coloured dress. And no it doesn't matter that even she loves the same colour.....  3 hours 22 minutes Ohh maybe she has a new boyfriend and she is telling you about him. After all you are close friends.. With whom she will share if not you. You are a good friend. But I hope not too "good" a friend. No no.. Am sure you are just hanging out. 3 hours 30 minutes Then why is it bothering me so much....
