Forbidden Love


It is said that love is pure but some loves are forbidden…. As I moved up in the elevator, I wanted to run away...a part of me was telling me to but another ..some deeper part just refused to. It had turned rebel. What was I doing? My thoughts took to my last meeting with robin. We were here for a conference and I met him...rather should I say our paths crossed again. We were friends in college and deep inside we both liked …but for me it was more than a liking ...and for him...Well I wasn’t sure. He married a girl from the gang. But he never really left me. He would keep an eye on me and at times noticed those things too that baffled me. But I left it like that because he was in love with someone and I never wanted to invade. We parted ways with the college ending. We never really lost touch because of his wife being a friend but at the same time we were not in touch. I left the college group too. Our paths took us to different parts of the world and I had never thought we would meet again. That too in my own town. I had gone there for a conference when I saw him standing right in front of me. I just couldn’t believe my eyes and I was foolish to think I could avoid him. And so, we met ...in a group to my relief...but my happiness was short lived when he caught me alone and insisted for some alone time. The conference was going to end the next day so a lunch was suggested…But to my horror he called to his room …I agreed…But... I wanted this meeting ...because I always wanted to know his part...but why...there was a void deep down there and perhaps it would get filled...Or widened…I don’t know…but I went ahead… I knocked his door and he opened and I found a bunch of other people there…To be frank I got a little disappointed but I relaxed too. We again parted … I wanted to run back and ask him but…but but but I did not. Some love stories are just not to happen. Story 2. It had been almost a month for me in the new office but I still hadn’t got a chance to speak to him. Everyone found him introvert so did not bother him. I was of the same impression till I got to work with him for some assignment. I realized that beneath the shell, he is just like us. And he was dying to come out. But then he did not like people invading his space but I being myself decided to invade. I was successful in my mission. I asked people to include him in the discussions and ask for his suggestions. I never knew that he knew that I was the one who had dared to invade his space and once he caught me off guard when he told me that he knew and we had a hearty laugh but that laugh changed everything between us. We were spending time making all excuse which we knew were a pretense …but in front of whom... no one cared. And we started getting dragged into it. There was no dearth of love in our lives still we found ourselves getting involved. I blamed myself for it but I knew I could not stop myself. But we had to …before the line is crossed. And we did without exchanging a word we knew what is forbidden has to be stopped and we did. Story 3 I had got just engaged when I met him. I had seen him and wondered who he was. But today he helped me when my father called just called me to buy a few things urgently and he made the office cab halt, accompanied me to the shop as well. A simple help blossomed into a friendship. I came to know that he too was engaged to someone and was soon getting married too. We were so engrossed in our chitter- chatter that rest of the people, the phone calls... everything was ignored. This was this us at the time of that one hour or so ride back home. We almost fell in love when we realized where we are heading to. Both families are preparing for marriages and we are …what was the fault of our fiancĂ©es’. In fact, we had given them a fair chance too. I still remembered thinking this and him reading my thoughts and I wondered how did he. We gave ourselves chance to fall out of the relation. Out marriages allowed that but whenever we met, we felt the bond...we still do But like I said some loves are just not to be

Thought to ponder

Being an extremely friendly and helpful person- this was the opinion I got from the people around me, I thought life would treat me differently. I made sure my Karmas were right, my conscience clear, and the people around me happy. I would go an extra mile to do this. But little did I know what was in-store for me was nothing less than what I thought only people with bad Karmas get. I always believed that if you do the things right- be polite, adjust and change – you would be able to change a rock into cotton. My own thoughts now amuse me, how puerile of me. Well I was a child when these thoughts stood true for me. As you grow up-as in grow up in the real sense, you realize how imprudent of me. Life ahead came as a hard slap; I was jolted back from my dreamy world into the real world. World that just doesn’t care how you have treated them and they only care about how they think they can treat you. People around me never saw the goodness in me, they only saw the gaffes. I trie...

Nameless Relation

I made you read something about somebody and that made me think what about you. I should write something. I remember most of the people whom I crossed path with. That guy who doing MBBS from AFMC I met in train. That little boy who had come home who was going for his engineering and was anxious to know about the city. That lady I met on train was interested in me meeting her son and insisted I get down at her station. That Sanskrit professor in train who would converse in Sanskrit. Those bunch of friends who bumped me twice in train. And all those people who stayed there for longer. All of them were steps forward. Everyone taught me something. Some good lessons, some bitter but everyone made me better. And now about you. It is too early to write. What I write here may change tomorrow. My experiences with you will have new aspects if it continues. But I feel we will go a longer way than others ...Or maybe we won’t- that only time will tell. I met you when I was going through a tou...

Harsh Reality

I read an article about how a female MP had advised to a rape victim. She was criticized for saying that the victim should not have gone into a vehicle where three people were already present. And I ask people what is wrong in that, the world around women has become so bad that we have to tread carefully because we are surrounded by wolves and one wrong step can lead us in trouble. Like when one is surrounded by wolves, we have to be careful about every step. We have to analyze, plan, look, keep our eyes and ears and nose and even our sixth sense awake, similarly we need to analyze the world around us. The world, the way it is going seems, will take a long while to grow civil. Stop objectifying a woman. It is Ok to judge clothes but it should not be an identification of character Like Short skirt-Slut Salwar suit-Behenji It should be just like whether the dress suits her or not and again, It is entirely her and only her choice what she wants to wear. Please treat it lik...
