But Love still managed to slip through.

Seldom have I seen a pen write more fluidly than one held in pain and heartache.

Sadness, it seems,
makes for some really great quality ink.

With your head bowed, in humility-

That is how mountains are climbed.

The beauty is,
that love can turn
mortal beings
immortal.

Time stretches and squeezes.
Stars realign.
The Universe conspires,
manoeuvres, orchestrates.

And here you are,
thinking people meet
by coincidence.

over tea.

For a lonely heart,
even rain was joyful company.

There are some books I'd like to read in reverse.

Stories that would, otherwise,
end on sad notes would then
end on happy beginnings.

Whatever he gave to life,
death snatched away.

बस एक दिन
उठ के चल देतीं

काश तुम्हारी याद भी
कुछ कुछ तुम सी होतीं
