Run away...

A small walk down the corniche made me think about life in general the only thing I could figure out was that I seriously don’t understand life! It is so complicated. So very complex. Just when you think that life is going to perfect from now on, someone comes along and changes your plans for you completely. Life was never simple and never will be I understand but the only thought that wanders in my head quite often is that why do we plan out our life when God, destiny, other people etc. etc. are going to change it for you? Why do we fall in love when life is going to end for one of the two? Why do we get close to someone when they are eventually going to leave us? Why do we run away from these questions?
The fact is that we are running away from the responsibilities, I shouldn't be talking on behalf of everyone but reading everyone has made me jump to this conclusion. We don’t know what life has in store for us. Each minute is a surprise. Each minute a big shock. Each minute an unpredictable moment. For me yes I know I am running away from the reality, but that keeps me going. I am too scared of facing the reality so running away makes me survive longer. My people, my choices are very much important to me, but commitments have always scared me. I don’t know how far I can go, I don’t know how much it’s going to help me. I just know that running away will make me survive longer, even when I know if I run I won’t have anyone by my side…

Here's to the Past

Here’s to the Past What do you do when you fall for the perfect guy? Date him? Marry him? What do you do when you fall for the not-so perfect guy? Give it a shot? Forget about him? What do you do when you fall for a Guy who according to you is perfect but not according to the traditions, religion, and both your families? Forget the world and date him (or marry him) OR Forget him and keep the traditions, religions and family happy? Well Kiara did the latter. She had the perfect guy for her but had to let go because her family, traditions and religion wasn’t happy. She felt happy in his arms, she was in love with his silence, she genuinely laughed at his wit, she dreamed of waking up next to him every morning, she loved him he loved her, she was happy so was he but the world wasn’t. It was the first day of college. A new step towards life. A little more freedom given by God to you for you to let go off everything and just enjoying life by taking a few decisions on your own.

Long Distance

That night I actually didn’t sleep. I knew I had to talk to kabir about it. Ever since our relationship status had changed to a long distance relationship things had changed. Phone calls from every minute had changed to hardly talking for a minute, text messages had conversations filled with both of us replying to each other saying, “ Busy baby BRB”. I heard the crows crowing and the birds chirping at around 5:30. The cold December morning still made me get up from bed and grab a cigarette. Lighting the cigarette with the old pink lighter that was a gift from kabir I covered myself with my blanket. Taking the 1 st puff I went back to the memory lane at the time when kabir had called me in excitement, “hey baby!! Have a big surprise. Meet me for dinner tonight? Mainland china? 9? I’ll pick you up! This dinner is special. Love you baby cya!” After this call I had made up my mind that he was going to propose! I knew it all this while because he was talking a lot about marriage and our ...

Avenge

He furiously told her,“Let’s even the score. You hurt me a lot of times I have even lost count.” She thought it was true love and concrete friendship but all he wanted was to avenge the pain of his broken heart. For her friendship was, never having to say goodbye. For him? It did not matter, he had already said goodbye.  - Samanah. Rizvi
