The Last Smile





The Last Smile


Rahul looked into the imaginary mirror, one more time and took a deep long breath. He smiled gently at his own self, then slowly closed his eyes and started fading. Slowly and gently... gently and slowly... He knew what was happening and what was going to happen and he knew he was alone. Like before, like now. He had realized that it is better to stop breathing than to live a life without happiness.

As he started living the last few moments of his so called valueless life... he could see his past rewinding like a movie flashback.. The background wallpaper of each precious moment in his life... was her black and white picture. She was the one girl, he had always loved. She was his first love. He had loved many people in his life. But she was his first and now his last. They had fallen in love long ago...Thirteen years ago... when they were in college. In the four long years of intense friendship and strong love, they had realized that there was no one else in this world who would understand them more than each other. But the decision was made and the deal was sealed. They had to part. Destiny would not see them together. So they simply walked away from each other. It was painful, it indeed was. But there was no other choice. They simply had to let go. 

Letting go of what is yours, is always more painful than holding on to what is not yours.


17 hours far away and on the other end of the world, Neha twitched in her sleep. Her husband and two daughters were sleeping peacefully with her in the posh king sized bed. The twitching transformed into violent jerks and she woke up with a silent shriek. At the same time, a part of her stopped breathing... somewhere in the world.








Little Dangerous Things in Life



Life's greatest defeat is when you betray yourself. You shatter your own dreams and there is no one responsible for your situation, but you and only you.

Writing has always been one of the best ways to release feelings... and in my case, the only way... So, here I am... in my own world.. fiddling up with words and letters... trying to forgive myself...

Life is short.... Sometimes sweet and sometimes painful, but it is totally up to you to make sure that you get up and stand after a fall, because in this journey... there are no teachers.. no companions and no relations... No one to congratulate you on your success... no one to woo you when you fail... No one to walk with you... in this journey.. You are on your own.

Welcome to Ooty, nice to meet you!
