नज़रें चौखट से उठी तो ऐसा लगा मानो तुम ही हो, आज भी हर जगह तुम्हें ही ढूँढ़ता रहता हूँ। सच में तुम हो, आज इतने जमाने बाद, तुम्हें अपने सामने पाकर ऐसा लगा की शायद आज बरसों बाद दिल की आरज़ू कबूल हुई हो। तुम मेरी तरफ बढ़ी और रुक गयी जैसे मुआयना कर रही हो।

“Happy Independence day Ishita!” I say all excited, coming to school with my best friend.

I wonder if I love you any more. Have I ever loved you, or did I fall out of love with you?

आज पता नहीं क्यों तुम्हारी बहुत याद आ रही है। वो भी क्या दिन थे, जब भी मैं तुमसे कहता था की तुम्हे मिस करता हूँ और तुम, चंद घंटो में मुझसे मिलने के लिए बेताब दौड़ी चली आती थी। तुम्हारा कितना इंतज़ार किया मैंने, उससे भी ज्यादा प्यार किया तुझसे , फिर क्यों आज मैं अकेला सा हूँ इस कहानी में।

अधूरी बातें
एक बेहद अजीज मित्र की कलम से पढ़िए एक खूबसूरत गीत,
Presenting a heartfelt piece penned down by one of my dearest friend. Hope you like it as much as I did.

What happens when someone you loved, comes back into your life? We all have been broken, shattered and left by someone we thought we loved. What if we could have them back? Ever wondered will your heart still love them the same, the million pieces of our heart heal over time and still, the scars bleed afresh when something triggers us against them.

Every second of me alive is like suffering without you.
I don’t wish to live in a world without you.

There will always be a piece of me that loved you, until time tore us apart.
To the estranged lover, whom I loved with all my heart.

My glasses block the clear view of you and all I can see is the formulas and the tutor explaining something. If only I knew this was the beginning of a catastrophe. Had I been more careful! Had I known the consequences?

I get down at the India Gate and find you standing outside your car. I knew India Gate was your favourite ever since college. I wondered why were you so addicted, and why would you always roam about here. You look happy from afar. I want to just keep looking at you.
