Crying and yelling not to go inside but were dragged away from our parents for a few hours. It turned to be a jail for us back then but slowly the friends we made there and the teachers made us feel like home and then home seemed boring. The last day of school and yet again, we were in tears; tears of departure from each other. Yes, even I cried but then I later realised that all the tears which did flow were real but from whom I cried, they weren’t real. The friends I made were double faced (few were exceptions as still date we share an amazing bond). I cursed myself for making such friends but then I thought, “abhi toh college baki hai, for sure I’ll find some good friends and make amazing memories.” Then the day came, I stepped into my college for the first time and things turned out pretty well. I ma...

“What’s up with your blog? You don’t write these days?” Mandy asked.  “Blog? Oh yeah, I mean... like... I... I stopped writing.” Relisha replied.  “But why?” He asked. All blank and without any perfect reply to his question, she replied, “I don’t know, I just stopped writing.” “Such a stupid girl you are. The one who is even afraid to face herself and speak out the truth.” He said. Silence all around, just the horns blew and the bus kept on moving.  “Bae?” he shook Relisha and let her come out of her dreamland and said, “Answer me.” “I just don’t know why I stopped writing.” She replied. “Seriously?” Mandy stressed on it. “Ok. I stopped writing after he broke up with me.” I replied with tears in my eyes. *FLASHBACK* Those few last days before he broke up. “Hi.” Seen, but no reply.  Online, yet ignored.  “Hello?” Relisha texted him yet again.  “Yes say.” He replied.  “Yes say? What kind of a reply is this?” “A normal reply. What more...

Her heart skipped a beat when she read the word “Harsh.” He was the guy she had a crush on and maybe he had a crush on Radhika as well. She sat down on the chair and saw Ruhani and Harsh coming. Heart skipped a beat and she felt butterflies in her stomach.  “Hello.” Harsh forwarded his hand for a handshake.  “Hi.” Radhika replied and forwarded her hand for the handshake and then they sat.  “Devil’s own for all of us?” Harsh asked.  “Yes.” Radhika and Ruhani replied in unison.  They had their Devil’s own on the table and had a funny chat. Suddenly Radhika’s phone rang and in order to take her cellphone, she by mistake pushed Harsh’s glass and it fell on his jeans.  “I’m so so so sorry Harsh, it was just my mistake. I’m really very sorry.” Radhika panicked. “Never mind yaar, it’s totally fine. This i...

Image source-  Favim. 1st August; 2015. He was on his way back to home from school. He saw people buying friendship bands from the roadside stalls. Seeing them buying the bands he was unable to stop himself and rushed to the shop and brought a few very good friendship bands. He held those friendship bands and had a big smile on his face. He rushed back to home and threw his bag and went to his room. He then freshened up and started making the friendship day card for his only best friend. He tried his best to make it the best card. 2nd August; 2015. It was 12 at night and he rushed to the hospital. Everyone was shocked seeing him do so, but he didn’t care. He rushed into the hospital and went inside the cabin and shouted, “HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY KAVYA” and ran and hugged her. Kavya was Rishav’s only best friend and he could do anything to make this day special for her. He tied the band on her hand and gave her the card. She was in tears and she replied, “Thank you so muc...

Image source-  Favim. They cheated me and used me, They were the “so-called-friends”, I helped them, I was with them, Whenever they needed, I was there. Whenever I needed them,  they were not there. Unable to move on,  I gave up on myself. I decided to quit,  as my friends decided to cheat. A voice from the sky said,  “You’re a little princess, you’ve not seen life yet. Don’t give up so easily,  and if you do so,  you’ll be titled a coward. Fight for yourself,  and live the dream you’ve seen,  life is not over yet,  you’ll later get a bunch of real true friends.” It was then I realized,  I took life too seriously at the very beginning.  “Do not take life too seriously.  You will never get out of it alive.” Image source-  Favim.

My life was a bit different. Having friends in my life was not my cup of tea. My only friends were my laptop and my cellphone. My father was a DSP and hence he was posted to different places on short time intervals. We could hardly spend a year at a particular place and this was the reason why I had no friends. In 2008, my father was posted in Nainital and we had to move there. I was not sad about the news as this became a common thing in my life. But this time, something was different. My father was posted here for a year and I was happy to hear this. Maybe now I could make some friends, not friends but true friends who would be with me even if I leave this place and move to somewhere else. Soon we moved to Nainital and I was excited because this was the first time he was posted to a hill station. Nainital was mesmerizing and I fell in love with the place and it was “love at first sight”. Greenery all around and the cold winds blowing, nothing could be better than this.  We wen...

Every mother is a special person, a super woman. She is a person without whom a family remains incomplete. She is the one to teach us the good values and scold us for things so that we can improve ourselves. She is the one to make us understand when we are wrong and correct us. She’ll be the guiding light when we are stuck in the dark hour of our life. When everyone leaves your side, a mother will always be by your side. There would be time when she’ll be angry and she’ll shout but you know, there love hidden in that scolding of hers.  Mummy, you were always there with me when I needed someone. Even when everyone left me all alone, you stood by me and helped me recover. The day I was born, you were the happiest person. With tears in your eyes and a big smile on your face, you held me in your hands. Seeing the new born me, you cried and smiled. That was a memorable day for you and for me as well. Having a mother like you is the best gift anyone can have and you are the most pre...

Image Credits-  Favim. Richa cried the whole day trying to find her mistake. She messaged her best friend, Karan once again, “what’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you replying me? Have I done something? Please clear it out; I just want to know my mistake.” The message went ignored and life moved on. She saw him online everyday and pinged him. All her messages were ignored and were of no use. He uploaded pictures and statuses, liked this, liked that and what not but didn’t reply to her messages. She was all broken and hurt. That night she penned down her feelings in her diary. It read,  “Best friends are meant to be forever but is it really so? Does forever really exist? Is it all not so fake? Telling I’ll be with you forever is nothing, but obeying your words is something. Was it all fun for him? Is “best friends” just a stupid tag or people really do follow it? Would he ever talk to me again? Have I really done something that he is ignoring me? Am I that bad? Don’t...

Snowfall made the winds even colder and freezing was the temperature. Shikha was on her bed, recalling all the memories which had * Him * in it. Their love story was perfect to be titled as  * It all started with a friend request *.  They met on Facebook, he proposed her. She accepted him, they were in a relationship. Sounds like a fairy tale, but it was not a fairy tale. He cheated on her, she cried. Everything was over, her heart was broken. But still a little hope of his coming back was left within her. She cried day and night, but nothing happened. He was happy with someone else.  Even today she is crying for him, unknown to the fact that he is with someone else now. She was just another option for him. He used her and left her alone. Life is now difficult for her. She is into depression and no one is there with her. Unable to take this anymore, she quits. She gave up. She was not able to move on. Life ended here for her, but there the culprit is, he is ...

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.
