#01 - First Cup

I was standing nearby the window, I happened to hear voices from my neighbor, he lives upstairs. He is almost in his early 30's, working in a law firm. All the weekends, he spends time with his girlfriend, in his apartment. I have heard their laughs, jokes, fights,arguments,makeups, not to mention other things. But this time I never heard his voice, only her voice. She was speaking in a plain tone, no expression, no feeling. I don't know why he was not talking, but she was not stopping either. I tried to listen keenly for his voice, and there I heard his voice finally. He said "I get it, You are breaking up with me". I was shocked. He continued,"It is for the Good, but it is not happy". I could not stand there anymore, I went to the sofa and turned on the Television. My hands were flipping channels but my mind was in his words. "It is for the Good, but it is not happy"


Have we ever thought of asking to parents are elders when they say, it is for your own good, so better sacrifice it for the good.It is like happy things and good things never come together. Why aren't they coming together? Is it because they contradict each other always? All our life, we hear things like this, don't take arts take science, don't choose love choose settlement, don't spend time work always. Is it wrong to ask for both? Happiness and Goodness. When we start to put someone else speech in our ears, we start to loose the happy things. We will get a good life but not worth of living it happily. Is it okay to be with only good things that is not going to make you feel happy really?
What is the use of having a Limo while your heart would sway for a Bicycle ride?
Think with a cup of coffee, and take a sip of it.

#07 - Cup We had a electrical maintenance in our colony,  unfortunately it was between evening 3 to 6 , or should I say fortunate because it happened during Sunday and almost everyone was out and having tea together. It was like back to my school days times, we used to play in streets with the neighbourhood kids and our mothers would be sitting on the verandas , gossiping something. It was almost nearly same scenario. I was sitting near the staircase, coffee mug in one hand, mobile at the other, reading texts also screening the people simultaneously. I did not see my lawyer friend, has he started again to lock himself in the room again my mind was running with so much questions. Suddenly, a ball rolled down from the terrace to me, and the next door kid came down behind it. He asked me  "Akka give me the ball". I replied him  "Only if you join me in your game"  He became confused and said "Only captain can decide that"  and he pointed his hands towa...

#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...

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...
