'I went on a date with my diary.' This is a cliche I use whenever I go out alone. I was sipping my latte, some old Hollywood melody was playing in the background. Whenever I have not heard of any English song I simply call it Hollywood. It doesn't matter to me.  I took out my diary and pen and tried to scribble a bit. Scribbling when turned into doodling, doodling when turned into pricking pages, pricking when turned into tearing down the page I didn't even realise. When you have suffered from lifelong feelings of you are not allowed to be loved it often becomes hard to love people around you. First, we ignore this feeling like we don't care. It doesn't matter but somewhere, deep down in our hearts, this feeling starts to prick up. Pricking becomes digging and leaves a hole which becomes almost impossible to fill up.  Whenever I sit alone or lie on my bed every night, I ask myself what have I done wrong. I asked myself this question again. How badly I want to no...

नदी के बहाव सी,  ठण्डी बयार सी बहती, अंतर्मन में मरूस्थल से उठते तूफान को  को अनसुना करती, बरसात में इकट्ठे पानी पर कागज़ की कश्ती सी झूमती, सांझ को सूखे पेड़ की टहनी पर बैठे सूर्यास्त होने की प्रतीक्षा करते पक्षी की भांति, अपनों के चेहरे पर खोई हुई मुस्कुराहट ढूंढती मैं... English translation As there flows a river, As there blows a cool breeze, Like the desert's storm there's turmoil in my heart, I'm ignoring everything And flowing like the paper boat  in rainwater  Like a bird waiting for sunset while sitting on old tree I'm looking for smile of my loved one which has been lost somewhere.  

Aman has gotten a friend. A friend stays with him all time. There is a saying that a true friend is the one who not only sympathises with you in all the pain but also stays in the moments of happiness. And his friend does that all the time. Friend calls Aman when he wakes up every morning. Aman's nights are sleepless and he often spends his nights talking to his friend.  When a person stays with you all the time, he starts to look like you, he takes up your all habits and so do you. But this friend looks exactly like Aman. At first, when Aman saw him he became frightened. But the lack of friends and attachments made Aman befriend him. One thing Aman can not comprehend is how his friend reaches him every time, out of nowhere.  A strange thing happened today. When Aman met Sarah, his friend didn't reach there. How is it possible? Friend is always keen to know what is happening in his life but today when he was talking to Sarah there was no sign of Friend anywhere.  Sarah fe...
