No Love No Worries

After a long time, she got a chance to chat online with one of her best friend. The conversation started with formal blah, blah and blahs. But time has changed their friendship in some other way. They chat like they were still best friends, deep inside they lost the feel of friendship as before.

She asked about his life. He excitedly said he is in love again. She wished him luck and said she is happy for him and wiped her tears which flow automatically.

She remembers the day when he proposed her before a year in chat. They never met in person. She was so confused. She experienced heart break already. She doesn’t want to get hurt again in the name of love. She had a strong belief in “True love happens only once in life“. There were so many questions running in her mind. She gently rejected his proposal after much thinking.

She was not ready to accept the fact she is in love too. Slowly she stopped chatting and left him to forget the memories about him.

She made her heart strong and said him to invite her for his marriage. He happily accepted and asked, “Are you in love again?”

She doesn’t expect such a question from him. She replied him simply a “ :) “ and updated her status as

                                       “No Love No Worries”

Few Things About Me

Even though I mostly write my posts from my experience, I find that I reveal very little about my actual personality on this blog. To know more about myself continue reading…

Here are the ten things you don’t know about me so far.

1.        My name starts with ‘A’ and ends with ‘A’. It’s a 7 letter name. A_____A. (I know now you all try to complete it with all your wild guesses :p )

2.       I live in India and my state is Tamilnadu. I love to be addressed as a tamil girl. My city is surrounded by full of nature, mountains and greens. (lucky to be here).

3.       I like to watch cartoons. My all time favorite is Heidi (the alps girl). I like popeye, kid vs kat, chota bheem, tom & jerry, Scooby doo. (Still like a kid :D)

4.    Before I choose this IT field, I have an aim to be an archaeologist. To be my surprise, computers are not boring machines. Eventually I started loving them that I designed this blog on my own according to my taste :P

5.       I dint use to talk very much to people. I like to think more than talking. There are a lot of times in my life, I dint talk where it’s needed. Even in group discussion of my interview, I spoke only one sentence because after all it is group discussion everyone must get a chance to tell their views. Lol

6.      I love to hug my blanket and sleep, yeah you read it right. It’s my blanket (soooo softy). Usually girls love to hug a teddy bear or pillow and sleep. With a blanket it sounds odd for many.

7.       I am addicted to reading and learning. I like to learn about new things often. Reading ebooks and novels are my favorite time pass.

8.      I am short tempered. I only get anger reasonably and when things go wrong. It depends upon what I said and what they did.

9.      I like to do things perfect. I always start to work well planned and complete it on time. being punctual is what I like. It gets you tension-free and satisfaction.

10.   I find my happiness mostly in small things. Tiny things never failed to amuse me. Like even a donkey is cute when its small :D

Raising Wings

 

Its warm and dark inside,

Wrapped and trapped with the threads of life,

Without the fear of danger,

Rests inside the shield of nature,

As a dead corpse lie in,

Kept on the hibernation state,

Not for long to find a way,

To head out for free in hay,

Broken the barriers of the shell,

Gracefully terminated from temporary sleep,

Groomed up to an extent of charm,

Spreading out the angel wings that flutter,

Raised towards the deep blue sky,

To show the hope in life before it dies.

A Secret Heart - Part 12

After a week, Maya came to airport with her parents to receive prithvi’s family. She was not interested in meeting them. But her mom insists her to do so. On the other hand, prithvi informed his mom that he has some important work to finish in his office and promised her that he will come to India on next flight. He dropped his mom in airport and rushed to his office.

Maya’s parents felt disappointed to see prithvi’s mom coming alone as they were eager to meet prithvi. Prithvi’s mom liked maya so much. Maya’s simple nature and traditional behavior never failed to attract anyone including prithvi’s mom.

They made the arrangements for engagement. Next day prithvi started to India. On his way to India, his mind was occupied by maya’s thought. He felt sad. But he had no other option now than marrying the girl as per his mom’s wish.

After getting ready, he reached the place of engagement on time. Everything was ready and settled. He rolled his eyes to locate the girl but he dint find her. After few minutes, maya slowly walked towards him. He felt her standing close to him. Both of them were nervous to see each other.

Prithvi took the ring and turned towards her with heavy heart. Maya raised her left hand to get the ring in her finger with teary eyes and she holds another ring in her right hand. Prithvi was too tensed and he dropped the ring on floor. He bent down to take the ring. At the same time, by mistake maya dropped the ring which she holds on prithvi’s head.

Prithvi’s thoughts were triggered the first meeting with maya in the bus. He looked up to see the girl and saw maya standing before him with worried look. Prithvi was excited to see maya and shouted “Mayaaaaaaaaaaa” in joy. Maya looked prithvi and she was speechless. She couldn’t believe her own eyes.

Everyone around them gave a confused look like what’s happening? Maya and prithvi hugged each other in happiness. Finally they exchanged the rings and officially get engaged.

Life game starts,

In auto play mode,

With no rewinds of the past,

No fast forward of future,

Stuck up by the errors in present,

Waiting to end,

Till the game is over.

Little Things Mean So Much

Too often I wait too late to say,

Those matters stay with my heart very close,

Too many times I let more,

Trifling things into my mind,

There isn’t a single part of my life,

That I would want to miss,

I count on all the little things,

Mean so much to make a difference,

A thought that puts a smile,

Little words of love in need,

Friendly help on time in deed,

Simple gestures that reach so deep,

The hugs I get when I’m sad,

Throws away all fatigue a million miles away,

All those petite things I appreciate,

Takes me a long way and stays till the end.

A Secret Heart - Part 11

Maya and prithvi started to chat with each other unknowingly.

Prithvi: Hi, I don’t want to go long in our chat. I just want to know one thing from you. Are you really interested in marrying me? Do you like me?

                Maya dint expect such a question in an initial chat. She resumed the chat after a couple of mins.

Maya: Yes, I am interested. What about you?

Prithvi: Frankly speaking, I came to chat with you cos of my mom’s compulsion. Have you seen my photo?

Maya: No, I haven’t seen you yet.

                Prithvi wondered.

Prithvi: Then how you said ok to marry me?

Maya: Just for your name.

Maya’s reply surprised prithvi. He thinks, how a girl agreed to marry him without seeing him just by knowing his name only. He felt something.

Maya: Have you seen me? What’s your reply for this proposal?

Prithvi: I am ok too. Till now I dint even know your name and nothing about you.

                Maya thought, how come a boy accepted to marry her without knowing her name even. They both feel different. Meanwhile prithvi got a call and he disconnected from the chat.

Maya: I am maya. Atleast now you know my name.

                Maya saw her message is not delivered as prithvi went offline suddenly. She too logged out.

                They both informed to their family that they are ready to marry and proceed further. Prithvi’s mom called maya’s parents and told her they will come to meet and confirm the marriage proposal next week. Maya’s parents are happy.

I Am A Doll

Just like others

I was born & tested,

Dressed & decorated

For a fresh start

To the journey of my life,

Chosen by many,

But left as an option,

I was longing to go,

On a fine moment,

I was handed to my possessor,

My life turned on,

 I was happy,

When pampered & hugged

Cherished moments on roll

Happy days follow,

With time I fade,

Lost beauty & charm

I failed to admire my possessor,

Time to time,

I faced kick offs

And some throw away,

I cried & screamed

In much pain & agony

I left to be alone & ignored,

I prayed & questioned god,

Why am I suffering?

God replied,

The answer is within you,

Me? I looked at my reflection

Then I realized

I am a doll

Without feelings,

With some parts missing!
