World of Words.

It was their first anniversary and both; Kavya & Arohan were excited. Arohan decided to make the day a special one and relive their old days as lovers. He took her to all the places where they had their happy moments and spent a little special time with her. He hugged her and kissed her like there was no tomorrow for them. Somewhere deep inside he cried. Kavya was a patient of bone cancer and was in her last stage. She was living the last few days of her life. It was hurting for Arohan to even think of her going away. He kissed her again and tears showed up from his eyes. Kavya wiped them off and said, “Even if I won’t be there with you physically, I’ll always be there as a soul. I won’t leave you and go away. Don’t cry honey.” These were just words, the fact won’t change that she was going to die soon. Arohan lived the last few hours of happiness with her, the one he loved more than anything. Soon she gave up and left for heaven. This broke Arohan into pieces but he deci...

Is being a girl a crime? Is it? No, it’s not! I’m a girl and I am not a public property. You don’t have any right to touch me. You can’t make me cry and enjoy. Today you make me cry and tomorrow you’ll regret for this. Yes, my parents are proud to have me as their daughter. I’ll cry and curse myself to see my boyfriend or my husband happy. I’ll shine bright and make my parents proud. I’ll prove that I’m no less than boys. Even I can do things so why discriminate between a boy and a girl? We get our heart broken by the first love of ours. He makes us cry and leaves. From that we learn a new lesson not to love someone so deeply. Why tell a girl she is weak? I go through the pain every month and I’m not ashamed of it. I too deserve to be loved and cared. Is raping us the only thing society can give us? Why can’t the society protect us from these evils? I’m a girl, is that my mistake? No! It’s a blessing. I’m unique and I’m proud to be a girl .

Her diary read- “I’m nothing to you but you’re everything to me. I’m sad but you’re happy. I’m crying and you’re enjoying. I’m not okay but you’re fine. I just wanted you but you gave me everything else than what I needed. Was I not deserving? Today I stand here and I feel like crying sometimes and the reason being unknown. Maybe you’re the reason for this, maybe not. Maybe I should just leave. Memories destroy us and yes, your memories do destroy me each and every day. Well that’s true; you can’t break something that is already broken. Everyone thinks I’m a happy go lucky person and I have everything that can make someone happy. What they don’t know is I’m not a happy go lucky person and I don’t have anything that can make me happy. And now I have finally decided to let go this fake smile of mine and let the tears flow. Let everyone know I ain’t happy but yes, I’m sick of all these.”

Someone said, “ Don’t grow up, it’s a trap ” and he/she was right. Sometimes don’t you feel like becoming a child again and enjoy life? Life now and life as a child, a big difference. In today’s world, we are busy with our own work, be it studies or working. As children we were the apple of everyone’s eye and now we don’t even get time to talk or to see them. Life is busy. Why can’t we even save an hour for our relatives and friends and parents? Is it so difficult? Yes, up to some extent. We live in a world where there is a lot of competition. We all wish to go back to our childhood but we can’t. We all want to be free but we can’t. We want to enjoy but we can’t.  Growing up was fun but now it is becoming a trap. It’s true that childhood was far more better.
