#03 - Third Cup
Before you start to read, I am sure we might get conflicts between us in this concept. I myself thought to write it, because of the conflict that I got into with my neighbor. If you are thinking about the neighbor who lives upstairs, you are thinking exactly right. He is definitely having rough days. I saw him with non shaved face, red eyes, and a fake smile always. I also heard that he is been drinking alcohol every night. I found, that is totally true, when I ran into him at the terrace. He was starring at something. I walked casually to other side and tried to get a peek on what he is starring. It was hard to get a look, he is huge. I can’t see anything, but his long hands. I thought to give up, but then he suddenly turned to my side. We smiled at each other, in that small interval of time, I saw the thing he was looking at. Yes, as I thought, it was an invitation and without any further doubts, I assumed it as his girlfriend marriage invitation. I thought how cruel she is, sending him the invitation card. I don’t know if I should talk to him now to give a little boost or be quiet, because we are just acquainted neighbors. I decided to leave. But Then,

“Leaving already?” He started the conversation. I just blinked at him. He continued, “Can we have the coffee together?”  I smiled at him. “She invited me to her marriage, I am so confused”. I did not know what to tell him but looking at a man suffering infront of my eyes and still keeping quiet would be rude. I said to him, “I am younger than you in every way, but looking at you like this, I wanted to tell this. Be stable, whatever happens in life don’t get attached to it. If you get attached, you will go down with it.”

He smiled at me, “If I stay detached with my own life, then who is gonna be attached with it? “ I knew this man always thinks a step ahead. He continued, “If I am stable, neutral, then it is not living, it is surviving. If I can’t feel the extreme happiness or sadness, then I am a machine. I want to live, smile, cry, go insane, be crazy and feel everything.” Now I am stunned but I found him actually little boosted up. So, I bid him goodbye with the smile  and when I was climbing down the stairs, my heart is asking me “Are you living or surviving Rithi?”

Tell me dudes, Is neutral wrong? Shouldn’t we be stable always? Actually we all want the extreme zone when it is happiness because it is not going to hurt our pride, but sadness, not a good thing to show right? When we let others know that we lost, we have been fooled, we are messed up, it kills our pride. People always tells to be stable only when we are low and feeling bad. If you are okay to shout out your happiness, then it is completely fine to shed out the tears too. Being stable is going to make you into a robot, not a human. If people tell you to go stable while you are in insane mode of depression, I think it ain't a good idea. He left me with a question to myself, “If I am a machine”. When I was opening my room door, I was smiling myself, because I heard him talking happily over the phone to his mom. Yeah, this man is living not surviving and he is definitely going to bounce back. I don’t know if we should be stable or not, but let us not stop the people from letting out their emotions. If your loved people goes insane, don’t stop them, let them go insane, stand there to catch them not stop them, we should be there to make them live not survive. They are attached to their own life, nothing wrong in it.

Who would call a coffee, a coffee if it is not strong enough to show it’s bitter or sweet? If it is stable, then it is just a liquid that’s all.

Think with me, along with the coffee and we will have a sip in it.

I Don't Love You Anymore

It is not because I have chosen someone over you, not because I got bored of you, not because I ran out of love. It is because I have chosen my dignity over you, my self respect over you, my happiness over you. It is because I got tired of the fake promises. I got tired of not telling stuffs and keeping it into heart. I was there sacrificing things at the beginning, when it isn't acknowledged,  yet I did them to a great extent, never worried about the fact that I am being dragged down to a level, lower to my integrity. I simply chose to make me as the most important person in the world. If that world gives me a name "Selfish'' , I am not worried as long as I am happy without hurting a soul, I will be glad that I chose to love me.  It is a simple lie, until you decide to make it complicate. Lie lives everywhere, in every word you utter, in every action you do and in every promise you make. Does it has to be a lie every single time?  Who is telling you not to love...

#08 Cup

Sun did not rise. Yet she woke up and wondered why did the morning come so fast, why do I have to start so early the day, she rushed to check the mobile, unlocking the phone by swiping the pattern,  she left a sigh,. Her mind was telling, "No messages no missed calls; everybody is fine in home" Yet the mind did not calm down neither did the heart. "Why is this happening always?"  wondered her mind, and she starred the sky through the window. It is not still morning, not in Mexico. Stars shone, the sky was dark, but it is 5 in the morning. "How much difference can time make? I am having a dark night sky while it is morning and mother in India would have a bright late afternoon sky" her thoughts just went after looking at the sky. She rolled over to get back to sleep, but the heart and mind wouldn't let her. She has never had this feel for a long time. The thumping sound in the heart made her to feel scared. And the thoughts were rushing lik...

1096 days

1096 days, counted in memories- both happy and the sad ones.  People can't figure out the number of days they passed, as being happy or sad. It is just decided by the intense of the emotion you felt. If your happiness made more impact, like you found your dear one was alive after many years at a random place, the ground under your feet would disappear, forcing you to fall down, tears running down the eyes, heart skipping every beat and you think it is a dream, though every inch is very much alive. The sad times are heart wrenching, like you wished you were dreaming or dead enough not to feel the pain, but awake and active to feel that pain in each cell and the atom of your body. This is how you know if your memories have more happiness or sadness.  Well, here, it is complicated -  the new relationship module , over 1096 days. After it crossed 1096 days, they identified the complicate nature in the relationship. The he and the she, never wanted to believe...
