Friends that turned stranger


Friends💓: The word itself carries a millions of emotions, memories, laughter and all of those silly things you do with that person.
You gradually grow with that person, step by step creating moments....spending some good times and rough times. It all goes hand in hand. Friends create a different landscape in which you want to be yourself all of your life. 
But over the time....as we drift apart in our own personal lives...things change. You no longer know what that person is going through and what is going on with their life. In the mean time, numerous things take part in all of these and somehow you are left behind in your own chaos.  
As a part of growing up, I realized it is not that easy to hold onto people as it was in the childhood. Adulting brings adulteration in our thoughts and emotions. Sooner or later, you become stranger to those who were once the important part of you life, with whom you made promises to be together forever.

One such thought for some people in my life who went strangers from being my friends.

Drama Queen 👑

              What comes to our mind when we hear a word 'DRAMA QUEEN' well probably an actress who's performing on stage or doing theatres.
Haha....that's so very common sense but here the phrase has been used to describe the daily drama queens in our lives and that is none other then "Women's" around us.
              We have been gifted with the ultimate power to enchant people in our lives with adding a little extra drama to very simplest of things to make it exaggerate and big.
               All might be thinking why am I supposed to write all this rubbish about women's but truly speaking being a woman myself had noticed a lot of ladies creating a huge drama of a simple scenario. My observation made me think harder about this and come up with the conclusion that ohh yeah......All the ladies up there are just born to create a drama in some or other situations. They are been titled as the Drama queens......the enchanters.
           Without a little drama....life is so very incomplete of a women. Ending up with a little note......"To maintain the spark of your life...just add a little bit of extra into it"😉

Journey: a turning point in life

She could hear the whistle from a mile and hurried to catch the train. After arranging the luggage in the train, she took a breath of sigh and relief. The journey was of around 17 hours long. After a while when train leaved the station.......a boy in hustle and bustle catching his breath arrived near her seat. He settled next to her seat and took out a book and started reading it. It was around
midnight and train was running at its peak.

Neither she noticed his face nor he did. In the morning...sun was shining and so her face too as the rays falled upon her pale skin which outshoned like a diamond. The Guy was asleep with book on his face. No sooner he noticed her mesmerized shining face and captivated by her beauty, she was still asleep and he was staring her. She woked up and found the boy looking at her continuously. Later, she also started noticing him and was attracted as well towards him.
It was afternoon, they were still engaged in their eye conversation and was enjoying it.
Sooner, boy started the conversation with the girl and gave her his own number and details.
The journey was coming to its halt. The girl was first to leave the train and the boy's heart was sanking in vain as he doesn't wanted to get apart from her. But the situation was not in her hand, she had to leave even though she was also feeling the same.
Station arrived where the girl stepped out of the train, she waved him last time looking at him with watery eyes. He also waved her goodbye for the last time and in just few moments train disappeared from her sight. She was standing there in dismay then left with just memories.
she could only remember his face and tried to dial the number he gave her. But her fingers didn't moved and she never called on that number. All she could do is just remember the memorable journey which brought smile on her face.

Rude: Nostalgia

Her mom called out, ' Wake up!! It's 6'O clock in the morning. You have to go for a walk.'
Though she was not ready to go but she agreed and somehow managed to make her way out of the house.
It was a pleasant autumn morning and she was walking down the street while she mate her eye with a guy passing by her. The boy was tall, fair and handsome. Somewhere in the heart she felt nostalgic but the thought surrounded her mind that why would that guy will look at her. She had a bit darker complexion than the guy she saw in the morning.
She returned home with a smile on her face but after sometime, the thought of that guy vanished from her mind.
Next day, she learned that the same guy was living in her colony and came as a guest in her neighbourhood.
The same evening, the boy noticed her and kept his eye on her. He was a pure Haryanvi jaat....with great personality.
Every passing day made him curious about the girl and he used keep starring at her with no ignorance. She knew this but didn't respond. Being a girl she maintained her dignity but the boy used to lurk at her. The nostalgic feeling in the beginning turned into sour nightmare for the girl. Every person in the colony came to know that boy admire her....this made the girl feel worst for him.
Finally, she gathered courage to talk to him and spilled out some cruel words to him. The boy got hurt with her words...she moved away...and he whispered behind her 'RUDE'.
He went away....she was still in dismay ...though she liked the attention but
not the attitude he showed her.

She learnt that day, inner beauty is all that matters. And this attitude made her more confident than before.

Conversation without Words !

A beautiful pair of glittering eyes looked outside from the window of the bus. Her wide gracious smile, shiny black hair touching her dimpled cheeks forced him to forget the world for a while. From that day a rich guy learnt to spend few minutes outside his luxury car at the station to wait for the bus, not to get in but to have a glimpse of her !!! something was irresistible for him, something was strange for her. She had no idea that this strange feeling can become a sweet part of her morning.
One day something was different..He was not there !!! Tears rolled down her cheeks but a shell caught the pearl. "You took favorite moment of my day !" Her eyes complained filled with tears . His calm smile replied "I took that moment to give a lifetime moment to you !"
