It was the last over of the match, the opposition needed 9 runs of 6 balls. The first ball I bowled went swiftly past the batsman into the hands of the keeper. I was quite exhausted and tired, sweat was oozing out of my body and my t-shirt was clogged. The last match was equally tiring, though I had gone wicket less but had a good economy rate. We had lost the match and we needed to win this one, to save some honour. Exhausted and tired physically and pressure mounted on my head, I kept reminding myself, I needed to bowl five more balls, fast and swift, that would chuck the batsman. I took another run up and bowled a fast low full toss, the batsman played it towards leg side and took two runs. Now the equation was 7 runs needed out of 4 balls. Quite possible for them and quite possible for me to pull a victory, the dangerous batsman who had made 24 runs in the last match was fielding at mid on, he had hit us for 3 long sixes in the previous match. Even in this match, he wreaked havo...

It was an easy day at work, quite unusual though. My whole body was paining in the morning, may be it was because of less hours of sleep for all these days. I was just not able to get up, sensation of extreme tiredness, i simply wanted to lay there and take rest, i didn't had the guts to ignore myself and go to work. i checked my phone, it was already 9.20 AM, i was already late and i now knew, i needed a half day. I texted my HR requesting a half day from her, though got some flare from her but i managed to get an half day and i was happy about it. I somehow stood up, dragged myself into the kitchen and checked, what was there for breakfast. Maid had made parathas and puree of egg plant(Baigan bharta), without wasting time in brushing my teeth. I took a plate out, put five parathas, two schoops of puree and began munching. I must say, maid had made a yummy breakfast, i relished every bite. As i finised eating, i dumped the plate  in the sink, washed my face and went to sleep ...

Dear bro, I know it’s a tough time for you and I can understand what you must be going through. Breakups are hard really hard to face. To realize suddenly that the person who was so special to you becomes an unknown entity, a stranger who doesn’t recognizes you anymore. Those moments spend with them, those beautiful memories of those beautiful times come to haunt you. You have no idea what to do, in vain, in despair you keep calling her, you keep texting her but you get no reply. From a special someone in her life, you turn into a intruder whom she just wants to run away from. The lover in her has died and she hates you from the bottom of her heart. She ignores you, she avoids you and does every possible thing to stay away from you.  You really have no clue what’s going on, why is she doing all this? how could she forget all those moments she spent with you, how could she forget those beautiful memories. Doesn’t that beautiful past haunt her like it does to you. Why...

Everything was going so normal in life, joys were there, sorrows were there, dreams were there, aspirations were there until people experienced tremors and found the earth beneath them shaking. All of a sudden there was panic and terror all around. All the plans made for a great future, all the investments done for a secure life seemed to go in waste as people realized how mortal they were, vulnerable every moment, for they never know when they will fall victim to the wrath of nature. Earthquake never discriminates between the rich and the poor, palace or a hut, it never matters both will be destroyed. The earthquake whose epicenter was in Nepal, its tremors were felt in several states of India. Even me who was sitting in his house in Bhopal felt the tremors. Some of my friends saw their sofa shaking, some saw their flower vase shaking. It was an experience no one would ever want to forget. It was as if a powerful cyclone went past me without touching me, without engulfing me...

This post is a part of  Write Over the Weekend , an initiative for  Indian Bloggers  by BlogAdda. Life is a journey not a destination where you keep travelling seeing different places, experiencing the beauty and ugliness of life. Sometimes your life comes to a halt at various stations where you have to stop, get down and wait for the next train. Every station has a waiting room where people wait for till their concerned train arrives on a platform. A place where you are stuck ready to get out of it as soon as possible, a place where you are never at peace with yourself for the thought of reaching the destination keeps haunting you. The journey of my life has reached a halt, I sit here in a waiting room as I wait for my next train. Hours have turned into days, days have turned into months but my wait is not over yet. I sit here tired of waiting, but still hopeful. Waiting is the most tiring thing to do, it kills you every moment with hope and despair. Every...

“I am participating in the  #DilKiDealOnSnapdeal activity at  BlogAdda  in association with  SnapDeal .” It was 11.50 showing on the clock and I was really tired as I had a busy day,  my whole body was aching and I needed some rest. I wanted to sleep, I just wanted to lie down.  I finished my work and switched off my laptop, put my mobile aside and jumped on my bed.  My eyes were closing and my mind had opened the doors for dreams to come in. 10 minutes had gone by when I heard the ringtone of my phone, I ignored it, it was a long miscall, who would call me at this time, I wondered. I ignored it and decided to sleep, that’s when my dad came to my room asking me who had called me at this time of the night. He was reading the bible in the hall and asked me to keep the phone in silent mode as it disturbs him. My sleep was gone by now, I cursed the person who called me at this time of the night, I took my phone and checked the name of the devil, it...

I was going through my favorites list on whatsapp simply checking out people and I saw a status in which it was written, “ how does it feel when a person leaves you without giving you a reason, you are left in despair , for you keep asking yourself questions and get no answers”. As i read those beautiful words, i realized that the feelings of being left alone, the feeling of emptiness , of being rejected is so universal. That status felt so personal, so close to my heart because a year ago, I too used to write this same lines in memory of my broken relationship. In memories of someone, who just left without giving a reason. She owed an explanation but she never gave one. I was so mad on myself, so mad on her .But bad days don’t last always, with time I got over that so called bad phase, that so called torture I had inflicted on myself. I broke free of all those bonds of bitter memories and those broken dreams. Of those kisses that never happened, of those hugs that never...
