THE MEET

It was just like any other day , the Sun had risen at its usual time , the morning made the usual jarring noise as it did every morning and the morning laziness had still not worn off . It took everything in my body to just push myself out of the bed . Then with groggy eyes I got ready and left for college without having a proper conversation with mom . The instant I stepped out of the house , I shoved my earphones in and started the walk towards the college . Funnily enough this walk was the best part of my day , my music and me , nothing else interrupted . But unfortunately I lived only 10 mins away from my college , so the blissful time was handful . As I reached the premises it was the usual , people swarming from one place to another , one floor to another , giving the effect of constant motion . I too swarmed with the crowd and made my way in the college and as every college student , I started searching for my friend a.k.a  " clique " , thankfully I found them in an instant . We all walked towards the canteen , to have our daily banter as our practicals from 3 o'clock and we as usual came an hour early . The canteen was packed , which was nothing new , it took us forever to find a table , and when we did it was already time for or practicals , so we all dispersed and made our way to our respective labs . It was the first practical of the semester which meant a new lab partner , and another dreadful first conversation .
I entered the lab with no hopes at all , I knew I would end up with some nerd as always , so I made my way to the assigned seat and was surprised to see the seat beside me was empty . I was actually relieved I didn't want to make a conversation with a complete stranger and on top of that I would actually have to be nice to the person which was another dreadful task . So , I started taking out my journal and other apparatus needed , then entered him . He was tall , fair and lean built , personality wise he looked flashy and a bit narcisstic , he walked right past our row and I thanked the gods , that he wasn't my partner , it would have been a pain in the ass , to be with a narcisstic ass . But I thanked the gods a little too early , he made his way towards the seat beside me with a confused look on his face , I as a civilized person had to give him a forcefull which he politely returned . for half an hour there was dead silence between us , and it was growing on us , so I decided to break the silence with the traditional question of asking his name , which was Dave and I in return introduced myself also . Then the silence returned and this time I didn't care to break cause I already did , he hesitantly asked me to explain the experiment , I annoyingly did so . Something about him irked me , I didn't what was it , was it his egoistic aura or his narcissistic nature I didn't really know . I finished explaining the experiment and he pretended to understand . The experiment dragged on for two more hours and finally it was time to leave , I didn't think I would ever be so happy to leave college , so I hurriedly packed up my belongings and was making my way out the door when he stopped me . He initiated the idea to exchange numbers , as it would have been easy to keep in contact afterall for a year I had to bear him , so I politely obliged and went on my on way after saying an abrupt goodbye .......




















the story will continue with its next part known as the greet .........

THE TAX OF HAPPINESS

Happiness a wonderful drug which we are addicted to since birth . At first , life just throws happiness at you , luring you in , getting you addicted and just when you think that yes , i have reached a state of inner peace , life starts asking for tax .  Is the feeling of happiness enough to pay the tax ? what is the tax ? Well, its basically anything that makes you unhappy , from minor inconveniences to major fall throughs ,  All falls in the theory of yin and yang , the balance of life  . Without us realizing  it  life does balance it out . Each moment of happiness is equalized with each moment of pain , so we are kept neutralized .  Maybe life doesn't want anyone to be completely happy . What is complete happiness ? a brief moment which passes by in the blink of an eye. How many times can you handle the balance of life ?how many times can you pay the tax , till you decide not to smile at all?

RUN

I was running I looked around , it was a dimly lit street with sparse traffic I had my earphones on , so i was in my own universe I kept on running , for miles it seemed I am not an athletic person , but something was different today It felt like i was running from something , but couldn't tell what exactly it was Was i running from decisions ? ambition ? love ? commitment ?  With each leap i took I felt the communication with my soul was closing But i didn't stop I wanted to leave my soul behind And run far away My life flashed before me the first day of college , his smile , our first date And then our ridiculous fights , the break up night Suddenly a white light shined over me .. and something hit me i was on the road and then there was complete darkness.... I could feel my body come to absolute rest with excruciating pain......

A GLANCE

She walks by , and his heart skips a beat Her boyfriend comes along , and  the heartache returns  again Then in class, their eyes meet , She saw right through his eyes , his love , his pain At night , she was entangled in her thoughts He was only thinking of her dark purple eyes They didn't know they were bonded Days passed , Conversations started with a simple gesture The day came , When he standing in a black tuxedo And she was in Pearl white silhouette And again there eyes met It was meant to be ! They knew it And all it took was a glance .
