Time is Money
There were 2 tea vendors, right across the road, just opposite to me. Their stands were marked 1 & 2, respectively. Every basic thing needed to run a 'small income-making' tea shop was matching. Just the 1 thing that made the difference were the presence of customers at the two spots.
The stall holder possessing stall marked 1 had more customers than his opponent. He was a South Indian by looks. And, as everyone know, they are born intelligent or I think so. But, this time, it was something above the 'God- gifted-intelligence'.
I then started dwelling, contemplating what so unique that South Indian guy was doing, as he possessed more customers; In spite of the fact both vendors had everything same on their stalls. Clearly, there was a difference in the method of selling.
Finally, the curiosity within, brought me to the stall. I asked for a 'cut-chai' and stealthily watched his moves. And, 10 secs after the order, the so-called 'cut-chai' was in my hand, 'cutting my nerves out of bafflement'!
Wow! So quick. Amazing! The words echoed again and again within me. Anyway, apart from the awesome tea, I also received something of my genuine concern.
The south Indian guy had 2 containers. He filled one with a hot mixture of tea leaves, sugar, water and a bit of ginger. And, another one with warm milk. So, just he needed to pour-in the requisite mixtures to prepare a tea, once an order was placed.

Me and Mr. Mind
Night at two, a sound came through.
It was my 'Mind' for the first time,
wanted to confess,
the reasons, 'why i was so depressed'.
My 'Heart' contradicted. But i consoled it.
As because of it, i suffered misery
and was pissed !
I listened carefully for the first time,
a heart-changing rhymn;
said,'i was trapped in an unpleasant solitary,
tamed and run by the emotional heart'.
It kept saying and i heard keenly.
Words pierced my soul cleanly..
I was changing slowly but effectively.
"Fella, you 've been lying on the beds of piffle.
You need yourself to refill",said my mind.
Within some minutes being so kind,
it refrained, refuted and remedied my soul.
And then said i,
'Aah! thanks Mr. Mind, good that you rebuked my heart.
Your invisible, invinsible and invigorate words
've infusd something new in this struggler.'
My heart was wicked,
it maimed me completely, i agree.
And now, i am exultant and gratefull
for how you cautioned me, so greatly.
The moment seemed like a fable or a night-dream,
which turned an 'introvert' to an 'extrovert' like me !!!

Crush Crushed
It was the first lunch time in my new school. I was excited to join new people but taking lunch on a sunny day that too in the ground, lowered my enthusiasm a bit. Anyways, I came out; saw huge crowd. Finding a place was almost like 'seeking a pin in sand-dunes'. However, we completed that stuff and started towards the class. On the way, a beautiful girl caught my eye sight. Her gleaming eyes, fair texture and what not ?, made me blissful.
"Ah ! What could have been a better start than this", i thought.
Next day in the assembly, I again noticed her. Perfectly dressed and with a french plait, she wasn't less than a fairy. I got a crush upon her. Now every-time I found a chance, I never missed to get her view.
The days passed by, with increasing contacts I gotta know more about her. Soon the day came when we finally conversed. And I found, not only she was gorgeous but also had a melodious voice. Now I was completely trapped.
Some more days passed, more conversation happened and my crush too grew along with it...
One day I finally thought of confessing my heart's feelings to her. I had an ISO certified plan to carry the message from my heart to her.
I moved across the corridor. Founding few people in her class, I stepped in...
And there I was baffled watching her take lunch with one of my friends. I quickly grabbed a guy passing by and inquired about the scene going on. And after listening to him, my heart countered apart. My mate was her boyfriend. Hopes were shattered !
I slowly moved out of the room with head down. There was no lunch, no chat and no activity that day for me. But all I did was wailing.
There was no relief, just griefs as 'My Crush was Crushed' !!!

What really matters. . .
.jpg)
The day was tough right up from the dawn. Alarm clock stopped working, due to which I woke up late. Since my wife was out of the station, so managing the breakfast and all those stuffs were a bit difficult. Consequently, I reached my office later. And as expected, boss yelled at me. But I simply yawned and went to my cubicle. I was having coffee when a project file came. Shockingly, Its deadline was a week later.
The coming days were going to be drastically screwing for me; I realized it later on. The deadline was the very next day and I was done with nothing much above the outline. The reason was my wife's absence. All the responsibilities were on my shoulders. Sadly, I couldn't complete up the work. I was embarrassed and my boss too made me feel the same.
3 months later...
Another project was in my hand. And as before my wife was out again. Don't run your mind much; she went on a marriage..... Long story, I will skip it.
So, the project was in my hands. I was determined to give my best unlike the last time. Although, I was nervous after last time's disaster but was highly determined. Anyways, I got into work and completed that with perfection. Problems came but I tackled them pretty well. Consequently, I received lots of appreciation from all around. But, from the events, I learned that. . .
It doesn't matter how much one has struggled but did he succeed has meaning! As, people remember what you are and not the promises that you made earlier.

Struggle- A Boon
Enjoying life ? Perhaps a good thing dude.
Till everything is fine; not rude !
Bucks in pocket; strutful walks,
need efforts; not silly talks.
Struggle is a boon.
Good ! If one realizes it soon !
Wake up ! Get working; earn a cent.
Else, life is screwed, specifically irrelevant !!!
Anyday, anytime; it's never late.
Cease evils and witless mates.
For one, lines may just be,
a verse, a citation.
But believe, these are the words of wisdom,
for a new evolution.

The Mysterious Robber
.jpg)
The days in school were passing good until the start of some robberies...
Every other day some or the other things were found missing. Obviously, I was least bothered about these things until it happened to me.’The die was cast’, the culprit vanished away with my 'Maths copy'. It was dear to me, as I spent 5 hours in completing it by peeping through the guide the day before the invigilation.
I was angry but this anger gave birth to my inner 'Sherlock Holmes', for a greater good. I then, took the initiative to catch that mysterious guy, of course, apne aap me, no formal announcements. Also, the reward of two Perks was kept which further motivated me!
The very next day I started with my mission; 'Operation Perk'. I asked the school-peons and maids to keep me updated with every suspicious thing they see. As expected, they didn’t do it. Who the hell reports to a kid? So, I had to eat their heads out every morning and after dispersal.

Moreover, I started spying during recess and physical education periods.
Damn you thief, I had to skip playing in the games period. A child’s nightmare.
Sadly, many days went unrewarded but we had to keep patience. Aur karte
bhi kya?
Finally, the day came when the thief was no more mysterious for the class, as he was spotted stealing an eraser by the peon.

Eraser! Yahi mila steal karne ko!
Anyway, the peon immediately informed the class teacher about the scene. Thereafter,
as obvious, he (the thief) was brutally punished. The stolen things were
redistributed. Ultimately, I got back my ' Maths copy along with that I was the
owner of two Perks. I don’t know how! But I was and that was more important.
At last, ‘Operation Perk' was successful and I became the Hero!

STILL TOGETHER
Biology class was going on which is obviously boring, you can’t
help it! Even the teacher can’t help it! But suddenly, a voice got me up from a
sweet short nap!
‘May I get in ma’am’, a beautiful girl, super-properly dressed
asked the teacher to come inside the class.
She was a newcomer and was nervous for the same reason!
Mother of luck! She
sat next to me as there was by God’s grace a vacancy! I have been a proud back
bencher since childhood! But was lucky for the first time :P
‘Hi, Shubh here, welcome to our not-so-Shubh school’, I started with
some humor without wasting any time! Humor, my forte.
It is quiet natural to
dislike your school until you leave it! Everyone does!
Her name was Sakshi! She was new to the city!
The day ended talking about general-thus-boring stuffs! One really
can’t help it but this is the way conversations start. Awkward indeed.
Next morning she was there again, next to me! I knew this was temporary
but still I was happy!
The Annual function was about to come and so preparation regarding
it were to be done, adding to the fact, students are always up for such time-wasting
stuffs! It feels good inside, isn’t it?
Fortunately, I was given the poster making work as I have been an
artist since childhood. Brag karna padta he yaar! :P
But the blissful moment was when Sakshi was made my partner! I had
NO clue how that happened but I was happy enough not to care about that either!
Life is so strange, a day
before I was yawing uncontrollably sitting at the back bench of my class and
today, I’am unbelievably happy! Life is insanely strange, one moment, you have
nothing, the next, you have more than you can cope with.
‘Happy with this work’, I asked her out of desperation!
‘Yeah, at least it is better than attending those sucking classes’,
she smirked!
'Yeah. . . You are right', I nodded.
This way we past the rest 3 hours of the school! It was a nice long
conversation! Unlike the one-sided ones! I wished to have the same time the
next day as well!
I always wonder, what is that thing in the opposite gender which
makes you go crazy and utter almost everything about you and your life which
you wouldn’t normally do with your other same-gender-friends! Well, whatever it is, it
is the ONLY thing responsible for getting us in trouble. Fake Rumors, Shitty
talks, Heartbreaks etc. etc. Just name it.
So, as the days went by, we happened to be good friends! We didn’t
quote it! But I knew we were good friends! At least I started to think that
way! So, I asked her phone number keeping my finger’s crossed! And, after a facial
analysis, or whatever, which was awkward, she gave me that!
Tadaaaa! Nobel prize! Finally, I could cease forward messaging to
friends and get into some real conversations! Despicable me! :D
After school, it has been just texting and a hell lot of talks! While
texting, I guess, people turn into a different personality! Witty, clever and what
not? They acquire every possible characteristic which is often quite missing
when talking face-to-face!
Night long texts are quite normal for new people who find each
other enticing and are willing to sacrifice SLEEPING! I don't know how one can give
up a whole sleep! I can’t sacrifice a nap! May be I just did! :P
Love, it makes us do everything! Everything!
I was in love with her! I felt, she was the one! We often don’t
know the reason for why we are so connected to someone, but we are, and that is
what is important. The connection. The feeling.
I had no courage to tell her that! Obviously, the reason was the
consequences of my confession! What if she denies? What will I do after that? And
many such frightful thoughts kept bothering me.
But, one fine day we were left with lots
of pending work, which was urgent to be completed, as the days were less for
the Annual day. So we decided to stay-back after dispersal. We both informed at
home about it.
There was no one except us in that lab where we were working. Suddenly
I started to look at her. She looked prettier than ever. I held her hands.
'What are you doing Shubh'?????!!!!!!!!, she asked abruptly
dragging her hands back.
And then I began saying . . . . . Thinking, ‘If I don’t go
after I want, I might end up my life regretting about it’. Awful.
"You know Sakshi, you had me in the first hello itself"
She kept quiet but I continued.....
"You are beautiful. You are my dream girl. I really Love
You".
Damn! The same old, boring and extremely cheesy line, I could have
done better, I cursed myself!
But, it was full of emotions! True emotions! And, if emotions count,
provided they get noticed, then she won’t reject me on this basis! I was sure.
She remained silent for a
few seconds and then said, 'You are
kidding me, right ????!!!!!
'No! Why would I joke? I really love you from the bottom of my
heart', I replied ardently.
Yes, it was full of passion, The first time you get in love, you
are passionate about it! If you are not, then probably you are not in love.
After a short heart-attack-giving silence, her eyes started to say
everything. Those became watery. And then she replied.
'I too love you Shubh. I always did but feared confessing,
contemplating that you might reject me'!
Holy Jesus! Why people start predicting such crap and screw up
everything! Nevertheless of the fact, they screw up either way! :P
'Oh, please ! Don't make me feel small. It's my pleasure to
be with you', I soothed her by saying this, holding her
hands!
We remained silent for some
time and then hugged. It was a heartwarming moment
for us.
That day we promised each other to be always together for the rest
of the life. And guess what ?
She is my wife today ! J
