She had a weird smile. A kind of smile that made her mysterious- layers of confusion, sadness and complexities wrapped neatly under that smile. Facing the world bravely, taking people head on- never letting anyone realize that she could be scared. Being the coolest girl in her neighborhood, very few people could have imagined that she might feel desperately homesick at times.

Daddy's little girl- as she was.
-------------------------------------------

Her experiences made me feel - maybe all love stories are not meant to end on a happy note. Or maybe the good ending in some love stories is saying goodbye forever. She had a very normal life- working seriously in office, partying with friends, handling weird followers, talking while eating, fiddling with her cell phone- typical girly habits. But behind that normal life was exceptional courage to make life normal, definite determination to end her relationship, for which she had already sacrificed a lot.

-------------------------------------------

There was something that set her apart. Initially, I was quite intrigued - despite being so common what made her so uncommon. Slowly I realized it was the way she handled all her problems with dignity. World was falling apart and she was standing unfluttered in the middle of chaos peacefully. She was lonely and confused. Times had changed and even she had changed a lot. Staying away from home for the first time- she had a major overhaul. She loved this makeover- infact was enjoying it. She was more confident, suave and trendy. But on rare occasions, the little girl inside her- her true self would again dominate.

And then,once again, she would become the

[This post is dedicated to my little sister. I wish her all the best in life.
And as she says- sometimes bloggers tend to make things dramatic so that people read. IMHO this is not a dramatic representation of hers(though I am not aware of what exactly is going on in her life, hence this post is just my perception)]

Don't know why,

I feel so ecstatic.

who is this inside me,

that is so aesthetic?



Is it my own self?

Have I changed somehow??

or is it that I was like this only

but I have discovered it now..



Don't know how,

a breeze of change swayed me away.

Backtracking down the memory lane,

can't see the footprints on the way.



Don't know when,

an angel entered within me.

A world with fragrance of love

is all that I can foresee.



No answers to these questions,

but one thing is for sure.

The blessings of that angel

are so sacred and so pure.


PS- This poem is composed by my special one. I absolutely love the subtle abstractions.

Back in college, when you're "just" a friend - you try pretty hard to impress her.
Suddenly, you would start having same opinions, same hobbies and same likings as her.

If she hates cricket - you'll instantly add it's just a waste of time
If she is animal lover- you would feel like hugging the stray dog on the footpath (and chances are you just might have kicked the same dog while being drunk previous night)
If she loves peace- you press shift delete to all the war documentaries you have.


As for me, I am absolute sucker for romantic movies. So "50 First Dates" is the best movie ever made, "A Walk to Remember" makes me cry and I was heartbroken after Winny and Kevin broke up in the greatest television series ever made- "The Wonder Years" (Watch it if you have not watched it yet).

So here is a snapshot of discussion we usually used to have-

========================================================================
(5 years back)

(Smiling)Hi, One of my friends gave me 50 First Dates.
(I was about to say- Oh My God! That's my fav movie too)
What a sissy movie.
(Now I'm confused).
Do you ever think such a person would really exist out there in world? I kept laughing at it the whole time.
(Making a disgusted face) Yeah! I don't know what was that person thinking while making that movie. He still had not come out of his dream world.
Absolutely. I don't understand love at all. What a stupid concept!
(And here I am falling flat in love with you) Yeah. Totally over-rated. People are so dumb. They actually feel that they can stay with one person for life time(even I do..what's the harm in that :banghead: )
I'm glad you think the same way. My friend who gave me was a sucker. He told me my husband will suffer for life. And I replied back to him - who is going to marry in first place?
(Stumped) You're not going to marry? Ever?
Yeah. You see I'm not the romantic kinds. I can't fall in love. I'm sure about it.
(Now I'm about to cry. What kind of girl are you? And I was thinking of what dress she'll wear in our marriage) Hehe. Me too. Who believes in that concept except for maybe Karan Johar?(and me.)
Now look at A Walk to Remember.
(No Please No! Why are you just picking MY movies) Why? What's the harm? I feel that there might be someone who might love her girlfriend so much that she might even marry her on her deathbed.
Hehe. Nice Joke. I really appreciate your sense of humor.
(Kicking myself). Hehe. I'm glad you didn't fall for that. I would say in real life that guy would just have got busy in finding himself another date.
Yes. I second. There is no guy who would do this
(Come on! I would) Yeah right.
Let me leave. I'll meet you later.

=====================================================================
(Today)

You're really bad. You made me like the romantic movies.
Why? What's the harm?
What kind of guy will propose a girl 50 times?
Oh no. Not again.
You're an exception. But majority won't.
I'm glad that atleast you said that.
I won't forgive you for making me like the romantic movies. I still feel they are sissy.
Yeah. I'm glad I did that.
And I won't forgive you for making me want to marry. I never ever wanted to marry. And you came and changed that. I hate you for that.
Is that a compliment?
==============================================================================

PS- The scene at the top is my favorite scene of all times(from Love Actually).I wished her Valentine day(4 years back) in the same way and it did wonders.

PPS- and that's why readers find ALL my posts to be hopelessly romantic.
