To Krish ~ with love

Dear Krish Malhotra,


Having a broken family, unsupportive of love and yet believing in the ideology of love requires an immense amount of courage. When we witness a failed marriage at home, our belief in love and the institution of marriage gets disoriented. But you with all your heart not only gave love a second chance but also sacrificed and fought for it. You believed that love is worth fighting for.

"kisi ko kuch sikhana nahi hai mujhe

bass acchi kahaaniya likhni hai

story main hero ho ya na ho

story hero honi chahiye"

Showed your love for your passion; writing. Wanting to become a writer is unconventional. You were just another character for us till you said " main bass pehele paise kamana chahata hoon". Those words made you one of us. Constantly struggling between job security and passion. We saw ourselves when you had to sit through college placements even when you didn't want to. We saw ourselves each time when you had to choose your mind over your heart.

We all saw the tear trickling down your cheek when Ananya said "Kuch cheezian nahi hoti humari kismat main, yeh nahi hai" We all felt the pain along with you. Some heartbreaks are indeed not easy to cope with.The void that was brought in by 'chaandaniyan'. We all felt that void.That void can only be filled in by the person we love because the absence of that person means -

"Tujh bin suraj mein aag nahi re

Tujh bin koyal mein raag nahi re

Chaandaniya toh barse

Phir kyun mere hath andhere lagde ne"

Losing the person you love the most must have felt like losing the most important battle in life. Even after having everything, it feels like you have nothing. Every achievement feels like a failure and every failure breaks you like never before. An all colourful world turns into a colourless, black and white world devoid of any kind of pleasure.

You taught us that love requires efforts. It is like a plant that needs to be watered, given air and sunlight every single day to bloom. Love requires courage; the courage to stand up for yourself and even more for your partner. It requires patience; the patience to be accepted by the respective families. It requires respect; respecting your partner as well as everything that makes your partner who they are.

You taught us that running away from a problem might be the easiest option but it is never a bold one. Facing every single problem with the utmost level of boldness courage and maturity made us admire you. You were torn between the woman who brought you to life and the woman you loved the most, yet you didn't give in to the situation. You fought for your love like a true warrior! And if it would have come easy, you might not have valued it as much as you do. At times obstacles just come our way to make us realise the worth of what we are fighting for.

Forgiveness is not for the weak. Mending the differences with your father was not a piece of cake! It did take time but eventually, you forgave him and acknowledged what he did to win his son back. The moment when you hugged your father on the day of your marriage, you made us realise how important it is to forgive and move on in life. Forgiving without holding any grudges, just turning onto a new page, beginning a new chapter in life altogether.

How can we get over the moment when you saw your lady love in the attire you had been dying to see her in! Amidst the heavenly sunrise, two lovers locking eyes as if they had just seen paradise in each other's eyes. As if time had stopped for them. Amidst the wedding chaos, they found peace looking into each other's eyes. The rhythm of their hearts matched in that every second. The second when they realised that from that moment they will be each others, forever.

"Hoo aakhiyaan kare jee hazuri

Maange hai teri manzurii

Kajra siyaahi, din rang jaaye

Teri kastoori rain jagaye

Man mast magan

man mast magan

Bas tera naam dohraaye"


Celebrating,

2nd April 2011 - A Memorable Date

  2nd April 2011, A date that will always be etched in the memory of every Indian cricket lover. A day when the entire nation celebrated a festival irrespective of their religion. A day when the dreams of billions of Indians across the globe were fulfilled. A day when we brought home the trophy after 28 long years. It was the first time in the history of cricket that two Asian countries met each other at a World Cup final. The match was scheduled to be played at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium. This World Cup Final was going to be Master Blaster Sachin's last world cup and it was also MS Dhoni's first ODI world cup final as a captain. I can recall what this day was like, 10 years back. A 10-year-old little girl anxiously sitting in front of the television with her hands folded and lips sealed. All she could understand about cricket were its basic rules. She only knew what a boundary and wicket meant. During the first innings of the 2011 World Cup Finale game, with every b...

To Sehmat ~ with love

Dear Sehmat Khan, Not every soldier wears a uniform. The uniform does not make you a soldier. Your courage, bravery and presence of mind do make you one. You do not always have to be at the forefront to be a part of war. War is not only won by the soldiers fighting on the frontlines but it is won by the sacrifices of all those whose names have never been mentioned in history. Heroes who go unsung are the keys to many locks which were never mentioned in history. You were just a student at Delhi University, hardly 20 when you sacrificed your innocence, dreams, and life for your nation. You accepted the proposal of marrying someone on the other side of the border for the sole purpose of spying on them. A girl with absolutely no experience in spying took the risk of going into the enemy's territory even after knowing that she may never be able to make it back home to her country. There have been times when we all doubt our abilities, but never even once did you doubt your abiliti...

To Peter ~ with Love

 Dear Peter Kavinsky, You always wanted people to look at you beyond your physical appearance, beyond your heart-warming smile, lushy hair and well-toned body. But this superficial world only saw you with their superficial eyes. It’s difficult for someone to actually see right through you especially today when the air around you is full of pretence and the people around you are always trying to be someone they are not. When the air itself is filled with pretence it is difficult to keep yourself real. At times even when you want to be real you can’t because the world is not very accepting towards those who dare to stand out. You often find yourself fighting with yourself when such conflicts arise in your mind. Its easy to get swayed and washed off by the waves of pretence and be a part of the ocean but being that rock that doesn’t get washed off by the waves takes a lot of courage. In the era of text messages, you fell for a ‘love letter’. You are so easily deceived to be the guy wh...
