#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...

#09 Cup

Possessive.  I chose this word, also gave a good amount of time on my decision. The person behind this word will remain a mystery. Although, one can guess it from my article, if you have a keen eye for detail.  Were you possessive at any point in your life? I was, but not if it could kill somebody. I think everybody opened that door at least once and gave an excuse to our behaviour, justified the action with the word love. Love has nothing to do with possessiveness or vice versa. They define it in Oxford, as, demanding someone’s total attention or love, while Wikipedia gives a specific meaning to withhold my perception, i.e., strict ownership. Strict Ownership, the term points to a person’s dominant behaviour. Possessiveness is the word chosen by this dominant predators to wear as blanket since it says, “in too much of love”. I agree, because too much of anything could kill you, and so does possessiveness kills the “love”. It all starts with good intention...

#05 – Cup “I know it’s been a crazy week for me, but I did not expect this to happen” I said so softly in low voice. “Then you planned to get killed yourself?” She was shouting at me. “I.. actually…“  I was struggling to put some words and justify something. Then came the other voice, “Oh please, Rithi , just shut up your mouth. I wish I had power to toss your brain back to senses” . When he opened the mouth I just hung my head down in guilty, because he doesn’t scold me at any situation and if he does I will not tell any word against him. He is usually the calm sea but when he rages, it is tsunami, so I just shut my mouth when he is in tsunami mode. You might wonder why they are scolding me. I should explain you a situation that happened that day morning. I have to return home from gym. I was standing at the gate and talking to few people in the gym. I felt something was pushing me from behind. I got a feel like I should throw up now. I thought something is troubli...
