After-Effects Of Earthquake

And Since the natural calamity has ended,
I would still prefer staying in the fear for a few more days..
I might sound stupid, but I have my own reasons!
We will get back to the normal life in a day or two!
And what next??
A life full of daily shocks and surprises is waiting at the doorstep!
A life where we need to make more important decisions than going outside in a park or a field and thinking of the consequences of earthquake!!
It was a way better experience to hide at some distant place as an escape than fighting with our own insecurities as we do in our daily lives as life doesn't give us a chance to hide in a cave!!
And let me tell you a real experience that I faced today..
I was sitting in the examination hall when I felt trembles,
It took 2-3 seconds to understand that it was an earthquake again!! Everyone started screaming! We were scared!! We were instructed to go outside! We rushed to the open area!
As It was a competitive exam, We didn't know each other!! And there were Hindus, Muslims, Christians as well as Sikhs!!
Holding hands with strangers,
consoling them that everything is alright,
telling them not to panic,
Convincing them that we're not alone,
And Smiling together when It was all over!!
It was a great experience seeing all the four religions Praying altogether!!
We're not different..!!
Divided by castes, creeds, regions and religions,
United by earthquakes!!
Give me a single reason why should I need to go back to my normal life!!

Reasons why you must befriend with someone who think a lot.

Thinking is a full time job, and we're still unemployed. We all think a lot, don't we? I hadn't been planning to write specifically about thinkers, but then, the universe is the wittiest strategist, right? We all have a person in our life who thinks more than we can think of thinking. He is not a mind reader, but he can be a strong conversationalist and quite a keen observer. Talk to him once and he can unfold all the closed chapters of your life. I have developed a kind of liking for the people like them. Although the reasons why you must befriend with someone who think a lot, is too long to sum up, but a few of them are as follows:- 1) They understand life a bit more than you do. Well, they actually do. Look into their eyes, and you can see the purest and the most tranquil form of you, looking back at you, with a sense of chivalry and confidence. 2) Your secrets are never revealed . Confine your dark of the darkest secret, and forget the key. They're never jud

Love

Image
There is always someone who loves you more than you love yourself. He is someone who loves you the way you wanted someone else to love you. You too love him, love him from the eternity to back, but you're scared. Scared to love again, scared to feel complete again. He made you feel so complete, he loved the whole of you, he loved every bit of your soul. And now, when he is no more a part of your life, the other person who is rigorously attempting to complete you, seems less. You feel impure and dirty, you feel like you're cheating yourself. Stop suffocating. No love is enough. You want more and more. Remember my dear, after every seven years, all the cells are replaced with new ones. There will be a new you, untouched and pure. You've all the rights to love for one more time. I am broken thrice, and I, blindly, believe in love. Be it be consolation, or faith. If love knocks at my door, I will not stop him to enter. -Ridima

A Letter to My Parents.

Dear Mummy Papa, Maybe, this letter will make you feel better today, less heavier and more loved. I may have never said but you make perfect parents. I think, it is the most important thing at the time being, to make you reckon that how much I love and respect you. You both are the first people I want to tell all the the good as well as bad news to. I have consumed almost 20% of an average life span, and my whole life I have been telling myself that I am not weak and it only now when I am realizing that my strength is because of you both. Maa.. You taught me to let go things that are not meant to be with me forever. You taught me not to hold back because more beautiful things are awaited. You taught me that I don't need another human being to make my life completed. Papa.. You made me learn the theory of being quite and composed in the toughest times, but the at same time, you told me not to be blind. You made me learn the necessity of selflessness, but simultaneously, you to
