Nostalgia Dropped by Today

Nostalgia dropped by today,

A sudden knock on my door at midnight

I wasn't dressed

I wasn't prepared

I was startled

I was even afraid to an extent

Who might it be at this hour, I wondered

I mustered all the courage I could

Stepped out of my bed,

Stepped out of my comfort zone,
As I walked towards the door,

Seconds felt like hours

Reached for the doorknob and looked through the peephole

My stomach churned and knees wobbled

I recognized the face almost instantly

The familiarity was uncanny

I took a deep breath and pulled the door open

Strong winds gushed in and hit my face

Memories gushed in and hit me in the gut

At a pace faster than in Formula One

I felt the ground shift under my feet

I felt almost powerless

Another gush of wind and memories

He steps inside and approaches me, uninvited

Draws me closer and wraps me in his embrace

His body pressed against mine as he plants a kiss on my cheek

My heart raced and then sank

I shut my eyes and took it all in

Nostalgia dropped by today and said hello

And I welcomed him,

Nostalgia dropped by today,

And I embraced him with open arms.

Better Single than Sorry

Walking down the aisles at Archie's gallery, gazing at various love objects such as Teddy Bears, Cupid idols, Love birds, Together forever frames, and other love-related shit; I finally ended up picking a Happy Anniversary greeting card for my parents. If this is not the torment of Valentine's day, then I don't know what is. No, the torment isn't buying an Anniversary card, it's the struggle to find general greetings amidst this store full of red hearts and love quotes that describes a world where love is measured by objects and not emotions. If you choose 14th February to confess your feelings, that's not falling love, it's fooling in love. With due respect to Saint Valentine and Cupid, this day has become overhyped, overrated and over celebrated. How can you decide to pamper your loved one only on one day of the year and bestow all the love (pocket money) upon them? Expensive gifts and flowers only provide the sellers with one week of good business and t...

Things We Do When We Hate Someone

We have all been mad at someone or the other for some reason or the other but does that put an end to our love for them? Do we stop feeling the same for them? The answer is relative to the reason for which you’re mad at them. IF it is something that can be fixed, then the answer is NO, but surely when the damage done is irreparable, let’s take YES as the answer. People change, feelings change. Nobody can guarantee same behaviour throughout the course of a relationship. This is one solid ground for relationships falling apart. They say, "The opposite of love isn't hate. It is indifference." I am a true believer of these words but then again, sometimes, the next level indifference is called hate, or so I like to think. It's like they cease to exist for me, hence their role in my life becomes zero. If I were to define hatred, it would be "absence of love”. It is a long ride to go from being mad at someone to hate them but there’s no looking back when you de...

Seems like Diwali is the perfect time to get out that new pack of cards you'd been saving since a whole year. For the players, 'up and down' has more to do with monetary profit and loss than with intercourse positions. 2. Home-ridden creatures This particular kind is voluntarily home r...
