CHAPTER 1: First meeting

 

I still remember the day when we came to this new place leaving my old friends in Delhi. It pained a lot to leave that wonderful city but i have to move because my father got transferred. He was in Indian defence services. He got transferred in every 3-4 years. So now i have made a habit of leaving my old friends and making new one. In the span of 16 years i have travelled 6 cities…made lots of friends, lost few of them but now i have adapted it. People say acclimatization is in the genes of army family. Very true.

This time he got transferred to Mizoram. A very beautiful city indeed known for its scenic beauty and culture. When i saw my residence, i was aghast by its ambience. It was beautiful. But on the darker side we just have few neighbours. It was secluded place situated on outskirts of town. A week passed by and i didn’t met anyone and didn’t moved outside either. I used to be in my room all day…all night…writing…reading…chatting and sometimes playing guitar.  My mother used to oblige me to  move outside and make some new friends but i hadn’t listened.

I was sitting on community park ripping off the grass in cool winter. suddenly i noticed a girl heading towards me. She

was beautiful. I hadn’t seen a beautiful girl like her in my whole life. She was like breeze of fresh air.

“hello” She said to me..

“hi” i said half perturbed.

“My name is sneha.. I live next to your house. You are new here na..so i thought i should talk to you..” She introduced herself.

“I am rajat..its so nice of you…” i said looking into her eyes.

 

She was beautiful. she was spunky and she was kind hearted too. I cursed myself for not listening to my mom. Mothers are always right. If i had known that a beautiful girl like sneha lived in my neighbourhood, i would have hugged my dad for taking me to this place.

“This beautiful place has beautiful girls too” i thought.

“So what do you do?” she asked.

“I am studying engineering from VIT and came here for vacations. we just shifted a week back.”

“What about you” i asked..

“I am studying fashion technology from NIFT.“she said..

“Last night you were playing guitar on terrace, it was amazing.” She said flabbergasted.

“Why don’t you came over to my place tonight for dinner.. We will have fun and i will play your favourite tunes…” i said in a single breadth.

“Sure..no problem”

“8 o'clock”

“done” She said..

A TREMOR INSIDE

As far as the eye can see,

An illusion of the truth maybe,

Fill yourself with life sublime,

Light up a torch for your heart,

The fog veil parts,

The sun fires up,

The faint drumbeat in my heart awakes,

"A TREMOR INSIDE"

Just a simple smile...

I came to buy a smile today,

Just a simple smile,

The smallest one on your face,

Thats make my day fine,

The one which no one can afford to miss,

The one which is for me a bliss,

I said on the counter to a miss,

Give me back that smile please,

She said it can cost you expense,

I said i can go to any extent,

I have diamonds in my hand,

You know what diamonds are???

I have topaz i my pocket,

Just like twinkling stars,

Then she pleased me with her cute smile,

And i was lost in her for a while.....

American beauty

I had always heard your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the second before you die. First of all, that one second isn't a second at all, it stretches on forever, like an ocean of time... For me, it was lying on my back at Boy Scout camp, watching falling stars... And yellow leaves, from the maple trees, that lined my street... Or my grandmother's hands, and the way her skin seemed like paper... And the first time I saw my cousin Tony's brand new Firebird... And Janie... And Janie... And... Carolyn. I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday.
