Within the storms of the mind!

Today when I saw the same,familiar face which was 6 yrs and exactly 2 months old to my body,
I realised yet again,upon his sight why does my mind always become cloudy.
I realised that I was a wrongly manufactured piece of God,
who could only love and forgive but never forget even his single nod.

Till day I was bluffing and foul playing with myself I realised,
He'll come back one day and we could have a happy family I had picturised.
Oh don't forget the dog which we also would have had,
But all I could feel is the emptiness after he left,and that made even my DNA sad.

The regret is not about the refusal of my unconditional love,
but about how delicate the human heart is,like the wings of a dove.
The shock is not about the way he left,on a serene night while I was far asleep...making no noise,without prior notice,mercilessly..
But about how nothing is ever enough for people who behave so carelessly.

The tears are not for him,Oh no..
but they are for washing away that every inch of pain that I  have felt,
when my brain had warned me not to do so.
All that shattering of my life,my body,my every cell inside is not what hurts,
I myself am surprised by how bad luck with my destiny flirts.

How now even a baby's loud cry makes me cry too,is astonishing
I guess my heart has also been there,through all that suffering.
I come to my senses as the man behind me honks,through my lost,vacuum filled eyes I see the signal green,I thought the clock was ticking...as if to show me how much time I had wasted thinking.

It was time I stopped shaping air into an idol of Love,
there was no use,no future,no purpose to serve.
The problem was not with me I knew,
some roads come without a destination and for these there is no one whom you can sue.
Maybe there are no endings,let alone happy..
Maybe somethings are meant to be half filled.
Maybe,just maybe in some other universal combinations we could just be.

URGENT REMINDER!!!

Dearest Readers,
Today I will be writing a very serious post and I hope you have your heart a bit hardened.
Recently,it did come in papers,as well as news that near Ambegao Pune,8 people..of our age,driving 2 4 wheelers met with an accident.One of them died.She was Krutika,my best friend's best friend whom I had recently met.She was much of a mini celeb and had a huge friend circle.All her dear ones called her bubbly because that was what exactly what she was.Full of life,extremely cheerful and very loving as well as down to earth.She was a great combination of bold and beautiful.I wish I was writing a birthday post for her but she is no more.And this still haunts all of us.

It so happened that,on that fierce,cruel,unforgiving night all of the 8 friends were out for a party to celebrate the weekend and were drunk.This is not so alarming.They set out at 2-3 in the morning for the famous tiger point in Lonavala..A thing which most of us might have done.But the alarming part was that both the driver friends decided to race on a small bridge and that was a one way.Ofcourse it became the gateway to hell.Both drunk at top speeds crashed and the cars remaining are nothing but a piece of scrap left.All the 8 seriously injured and my buddy Krutika no more.

After I heard the news in the morning I felt someone was playing a very bad joke on me.But I wish that was true.Our bubbly was no more.The car she was in crashed in the valley and it hit her head.Another friend got so injured that has many rods in her foot.She was to go to New Zealand for her dream career.She had the offer letter in her hand.Visa done and ready.Nothing is of use now.Krutika's very close and best friend was also among the group and saw her die in front of his eyes.Now tell me what did this party lead to?

The moment this fact sank in me,I had made it a point to write to all of you.Many things come to my mind.First ,what must be going on in her parents minds.She had told a lie when she left her house.Her poor parents are still in shock.Its only after you see death so closely that you realise the value of so so many things.Parents,friends,your own life.She had many dreams,of getting married,of having her own dream job..everything shattered.The sad part is,human body is extremely perishable.Just a heartattack,just an injury to the brain and done.You are no more.Leaving a whole pool of tears.The next thought which comes to mind was the horror of the incident.This will haunt all the people close to her and all her friends for the rest of our lives.The next,police case and media involved and ofcourse how cheaply they tell you how it all happened.Cheap is the only word.Like their hearts are made out of stone.Cold.The next the love of her life maybe.Her sister.Poor her.She won't ever be allowed for a sleepover or so plus the support she lost.And the list of thoughts can't stop even after so many days of the incidence.Her body being brought like she was just some piece of flesh.My heary could scream a NO.A Wake up,lets go out on our "adda".But no bubbly answers this time.Just killing silence.

To all my fellow mates out there please please please its my earnest request to you that please don't drink and drive.Never.PLEASE NEVER RACE.Nothing is achieved by that.You want to prove your manhood please wrestle.This won't help.And think before you actually do something wrong,about your poor parents sitting at home worrying about you.Your heart knows when to stop and whats wrong.
We all still can't sleep and it is still a shock to all of us.This a huge lesson learnt and lets make this a social movement and tell each and every one possible about this incidence and the precautions to be taken.You know what friends,enjoyement is a big part of life and it should be done.But in limits.You must draw them.Excess of nothing is good.I so feel if both the driver friends knew this,Kru as we used to call her fondly would still be cracking a joke on this.Apart from this,that day itself I decied that I will not fight with my loved one and friends,hold no grudges and do no bad or hurt any one.You never know when its your last or their last day.Such times shake you up and question the whole of your attitude towards life.We use the word suicide so oftenly we don't realise.Life is a gift.Its not meant to be wasted on alcohol or cheap temporary,life threatening enjoyment.
Please wake up guys and inform all your friends.Also pray for my Kru's soul whose so many dreams must be still unfulfilled.I will miss her and make sure that such a thing will never happen to anyone of us.

-Peace n Love
