And then, there were two..
It was the last time they met while she was still single..
They had met a couple of years ago. It all started as all of them do. She was nursing her wounds from a bad relationship that went worse, he was on the up and up in his life, having managed to salvage his soul from the deepest troughs in his life.
They met, things happened, sparks flew and before they knew, they were on.
Social mores and issues that affect every Indian relationship ensured that they didn't meet much, instead spending hours on the cellphone, discussing life's trivialities and having arcane discussions on how they would lead their lives, together.
After a few weeks, they'd moved on building their own little life together. She had overcome the things she was hurt about, while he was, on the up and up. A few weeks later, she managed to put her thinking cap on again, and felt that she wasn't up for a relationship and decided to end things there. He always felt that he's managed to pick himself up again when he'd fallen down, and he'd taken some hard ones. So he let things go.
She managed to get back to the same hole she'd climbed out of. Only now, the hole felt like a mount she had to climb all over again, just to make herself worthy of the man she'd scorned. And just like that, one day she's ready to get married, and guess what, it was fixed. She was getting married to the guy of her dreams. Only that her dreams had been superimposed with other images, playing mind games till her mind was numb, beyond disbelief, and above understanding.
Life moved on, and she was to get married in two weeks time. The time was right for the two of them to meet, and seek closure, for they had never truly sought it. He was running full speed in life, having moved through another relationship, while she managed to walk back hurriedly into the chasm she started out of. The last evening they spent together was spent discovering things about each other still.
He was still trying to imprint as many features of her face into his memory, for they hadn't met so often, and she'd be moving overseas once she got married. She wanted to know what was new to him and to his life. If still the same obtuse, off the way topics consumed his interest like there was no tomorrow.
They couldn't hold eye contact, for she still found it troublesome to look into them, lost as she'd get at the myriad emotions she saw out there. He found it funny, and could guffaw about it aloud, thinking to himself, even in today's day and age, you actually have a woman who has the patience to be worked up about holding eye contact. It was a classical romance between Ayn Rand's objectivism and Mills and Boons' topsy-turvy sordid tales, books they'd read and absorbed well.
While he dropped her back, the car stopped in the same dark alley he'd always dropped her, not because they fooled around in the back of his car, but she didn't want to get off where someone saw her and all that jazz.
She was going away, again, but this time it was for good. No turning back, no looking back.
It was the last time they met while she was still single.
He wanted to kiss her forehead, for the first time in their lives, and wish her all the best. Before he could do anything, she opened the car door, the dome light went on. He saw an elderly man passing their car, he wanted her to wait, but she'd already say goodbye.
He was left with a chasm of his own, all he wanted was to leave an imprint of what things were about, the times that they'd shared. All he had now was the memory of a relationship that'd changed the way he looked at things and at life, and a blog that would enable the people in his life to know at length about the one thing he'd cared for in recent times.
He had already moved on, but retrospect was the one thing he looked forward to.

Dig A Hole To China?
Click on the photo and read what it says below. One of my fave fotographers in the world has something very interesting to say!
And bring the bloody bread out on the street.
And bring the bloody bread out on the street.
Random Sprinkles
Needed to get these things into writing before they went out of existence, they are feelings and random thoughts that have occured lately. In essence, a piece of my mind, out here in the open.
Part rant,
part chant,
part thought,
part blot,
part dream,
part scream,
part acute,
part obtuse,
part singular,
part repeat,
that's just the beat!
Ok now that the on-the-spot crap poem contest is over, here it goes-

Ok now that the on-the-spot crap poem contest is over, here it goes-
- If you are used to look at women everyday with their eyeliner-mascara combo on, without it, they look frazzled, sleepy, unwashed, undefined homo sapiens to you. I don't know what's good- the fact that I'm almost always looking at their eyes, or that I've started noticing absence of black?
- Exams here are like making your first boiled egg, you cook it as you go along. Whether I get exactly that or a delicacy to relish is something that I'll share in this very forum very soon.
- Silence does Wonders. Its just that cacophnies have some rhythm.
- People are so talented that they can make a dance drama out of a classroom desk and freestyle dance movements. You can just open your eyes to hear the music and extend your ear to feel the beat.
- I've stopped following most conversations people have around me. I'm getting deafer (my blog, my words) by the day.
- Photoshop for Dummies was written for me. Pity I still can't use it.
- A camera would do me a world of good. I'm hungrily eyeing a Nikon D 40X.
- Ab Dilli Door nahin!

अब पेश है आपके लिए आज का मीठा-मीठा राशिफल।
सबसे पहले Aries यानी मेष राशी-
आज सबकी आंखों का तारा होंगे आप। पर आपके looks से ज़्यादा लोगों का ध्यान आपकी बातों पर होगा। इसलिये सोच समझ कर ही मुँह खोलें। आज दिमाग मे झंझंनाते ideas आएंगे, पर थोडा ध्यान practical चीजों पर भी रखें।
अब Taurus यानी वृषभ राशी-
आज लोगों की ओर आपका व्यव्हार कुछ अलग ही होगा। आपके पास अगर मदद मांगने आये तो उसकी दुविधा सुलझाते हुए आपको अपनी किसी परेशानी से भी निकलने का रास्ता दिखेगा। तो आज दिल ओर दिमाग खुला रखें।
Gemini यानी मिथुन राशि-
आज चन्द्रमा आपके घर में प्रवेश कर रहा है, इससे आपका ध्यान कुछ रोमानी बातों की ओर रहेगा। दिन शायद सोचने समझने में ही निकल जाये, आज अपनी बूझ पर ही ज़्यादा भरोसा रखें!
Cancer यानी कर्क राशि-
आज दिन हैं मौज मस्ती और मज़े का। जल्दी से सारे काम पूरे कर दोस्तो के साथ इस ख़ूबसूरत दिन का लुत्फ़ उठाइये। आज कोई नही रोक सकता आपको।
Leo यानी सिंह राशि-
आज कोई अपनी परेशानी आपसे बाँटना चाहेगा, और आपको एक अलग सा ही अहसास होगा। आज का दिन जादुई साबित हो सकता है, बस आप तैयार रहिए!
virgo यानी कन्या राशि-
आज पूरा दिन दिल बस यही करेगा कि कुछ exciting किया जाये, पर शनि आपको थोडा संभल के चलने में मदद करेगा। दिन शायद इसी कशमकश में निकल जाये पर शाम को हर आरजू पूरी होगी, निराश मत होइए।
Libra यानी तुला राशि-
आज शायद रोज़ की ऐश पर थोड़ी लगाम लगे, सूर्य पूरे प्रभाव पर है। पर घबराइये नही, आज चन्द्रमा मिथुन में है, और इसका मतलब आप आज हर ऐसे काम को हाथ लगा सकते हैं जो आपके दिमाग की बत्ती जला दे।
स्कार्पियो यानी वृषिक राशि-
पिछले कुछ दिनों की मेहनत आज रंग लाएगी, आप बस पार्टी की तैयारी कीजिये। अब पार्टी घर पर दोस्तो को बुलाकर एक खामोश शाम हो, या किसी night क्लब में एक थिरकती रात, ये आज का आख़िरी महत्वपूर्ण निर्णय होगा। तो तैयार हो जाइए!
Saggitarius यानी धनुष राशि-
आज माथे से हर शिकन हटा दीजिए, बीती बातों को भूल जाइए। अब वक़्त आ गया है कि जिन्दगी में एक नयी शुरुआत की जाये।
Capricorn यानी मकर राशि-
आज चन्द्रमा का प्रभाव कम हो जाएगा और आपका मिजाज़ भी कुछ दुरुस्त रहेगा। मेरी मानिए तो कुछ वक़्त आज दोस्तो के साथ बिताईये।
Aquarius यानी कुम्भ राशि-
आज आप किसी को गड्ढे से निकालेंगे, या एक नयी दिशा दिखायेंगे। आपकी मदद इस बन्दे के लिए beneficial तो होगी, पर उनके कदम कहीँ लड़्खड़ा ना जाएँ, धक्का थोड़े आराम से दें!
Pisces यानी मीन राशि -
आज आप अपने आपको साहस की एक नयी ऊंचाई पर पाएंगे। कुछ अलग करने की चाहत पूरी करने के लिए आज का दिन ideal है।
The above is just what I wrote for an assignment on a lark, let's see how it goes. If you feel like try going by it today, and may be I would have infused a little hope in your life. :)
Ciao
