YOU.....

YOU said I write well.... I felt I write imaginatively.... but then I realized...

Its YOU who Inspires me to "write".......
Its YOU who makes me "explore the depths of my mind and heart"......
Its YOU who makes me "love"....
Its YOU who makes me "burn".....
Its YOU who makes my "heart churn".....
Its YOU who makes me "spurn".......

And now that we haven't spoken for days..........!!!!!

.....?

Its been a few days now, not spoken to Tina. Feel a sense of void within me, not between us. My mind always throws up a question, Why is all this happening? What is the purpose?

As they say, things happen for a reason, what could possibly be the reason?

Tina.....Oh Tina

14-02-2012

Its been 6 years since I last wished someone from the bottom of my heart, I have had friends wish me on this day since 2006 but I have never been able to wish them back, or in rare cases when I did (I don't quite remember though), it was for being polite as they must have been really important friends.

But today was different, I was nervous.

I was at work, busy as hell and yet this thought popped up in my head. My mind kept hopping to Tina. I havent left any stone unturned in expressing how I feel about her, at least in words, yet I wanted her to know that she has been on my mind all day today. I wish I could have done more than just think about her, so what if we are miles apart. I actually wanted to send her a bouquet. But then I realized, what if I get her into trouble. My heart kept saying, do it, order online and have it delivered, but my mind kept stopping me.

For once, I listened to my mind and not my heart. Sorry Tina.... I really wish I could give you Roses and Baby Breaths today :(

But I was in for a pleasant surprise, Tina wished me :) :) :).

I don't know how much of a big deal was it to her, but it was a big deal for me. In a split second, the nervousness disappeared, and it was replaced with a smile on my face.

She beat me to it....and I loved being beaten today

As Quintilian once said "While we ponder when to begin, it becomes too late to do".... how I loved being late today :)

I told Tina the other day "If sitting idle makes me think of you, I'd rather sit idle all the time". I'd like to think I made her blush with that remark.

And then I told her what was going through my head, I said

"You know....I can't help but get this thought out of my head. So have to say it.


Its just a hearts desire...to take you out, not to a mall, not to a pub, not to a movie, not to bed...... but to someplace where I can be just with you. Talk to you, know you more than what I knew you 10 years ago.


Know the Tina more than ever before and ever again"

I miss you.......

Fairy tale.... Hell no!!!!

So I was yapping away with Tina....SMS's of course. Asked her what she was up to and she said she was enjoying Maggi. Ah...the good ole Maggi...we will grow old but Maggi would still be around :)

I gave her a couple of other Maggi recipes that I tried myself, and something in me yearned to cook it for her and feed her. That urge was extremely strong... but then somethings are out of your control.

Funnily....she also almost simultaneously mentioned the same thing (minus the feeding part). I think the lazy Tina in her din't wanna cook :P

She called it Telepathy, a term coined in 1882 by Fredric Myers.

I disagreed... I think Telepathy does not exist.

She said it does.

I agreed :) (only coz she said it)

But then she also referred to our little connection as a "Fairy tale". Initially I agreed, latching on to her general meaning of a happy state of mind. But then I dug deep, after all anything to do with Tina is a serious thing for me.

So I arrived at a conclusion that our little connection is not a Fairy tale. After all, if our connection was indeed a Fairy tale, Tina would have been mine eons ago.

Maybe she is mine..... the mind can say what ever it wants... the heart knows the truth.

The day that was.....

Tina,

Woke up early morning... first thing I did was look at my phone for a message from a special someone...... Din't find it.

Ah well... no issues. Everyday can't be a party na?????

Got cracking with the books... 14 days of hard "hardly" work was gonna bear its fruit today. It was time to do justice scores of 90%,89%,86%,95%,89%,85%,85% and 93% in my mock tests and make the last one count.

Read up for an hour before I really couldn't take it no more. Told you..... Theory and me never got along. You would remember your efforts to drill some knowledge in my head at a particular restaurant. Unknown to you...all I used to do was admire you and your flowing mane ;o)

Well.... huffed and puffed... did some last minute reading and hoped that I would be able to retain some stuff that I glanced.

Got to the Exam center 90 mins before the scheduled start... you can't cut it too close with the traffic in this part of the world. And then, stayed in the car and did a little more reading.

I think, on any exam day...it does not matter how well or how bad one has prepared.... almost every topic that you look up, it seems that you know nothing about it :).

Well...I felt something similar....so guess what I did to calm my nerves.... guess guess guess!!!! :)

Testing my concentration.....

I was giving a test today, and in between questions, thoughts about you were playing hide and seek.

God save me when I sit for the Final test tomorrow :P

(PS. I did well in these tests despite the insurmountable obstacle called Tina)

What I do when I drive back from work....

It usually takes me close to 90 mins to get home from work.

These days, the training center visits are taxing. Wake up before the lazy roosters at 6.30, be out on the road by 7.45 and be at the center by 8.45 for a 9 AM start. The morning drive is pleasant and quick and usually very upbeat.

Its the evening drive home which is maddening. More often than not I hit peak evening traffic when I start for home around 6 PM.

But there is one thing that helps me get through this daily chaos, its you Tina. I am not exaggerating, but I think about you every idle minute (Yes, when I drive, I consider myself sitting idle). It is not something I do intentionally, It is something that has become a default setting for me. And the FM radio belting out the latest tunes, the happy ones, the romantic ones and the ones for the broken heart, they all make me think only about you.

Its as if I am the one doing all the singing. Sometimes I try & hold back my tears and sometimes I just can't wipe that grin off my face. But its all you.

What are you doing to me?????? :)

You are nowhere near me, yet you are all over me.

I love this feeling.

Love it when you call.....

You called today....... just hearing your voice made me forget the stresses of the day. Involving you in my day to day life is so exciting, so what if you are sitting so far away.

Up until that point, it was an extremely tiring day. Theory classes, be it at school, college or work, tend to be extremely boring and they test your patience.

And it had to be a special day, it rained just before you called. So it had already set the mood for me. :)

Up for Chai and Pakoda's sometime???? ;)

I feel love.....

I feel happy.... Like a teenager who has just been given so much attention from a girl whom he has had a crush on, and whom he always desired for but could never sum up the courage to go and talk to.

What is love???

I asked Tina...."Tina...define love?"

After a brief lull...a message flashes on my phone "Love is the only dependable thing, never changing"

I couldn't agree more..because after reading that message...I related it to my feelings towards Tina.

I have been in relationships before...and I have done complete justice to them in terms of staying completely committed to them and my partners lives. But all through, I always had this question "What's up with Tina ?".

But this question was never a cause for alarm, for I was happy with my partner. But as one after another, my relationships failed, this question began creeping in.... "What did I do to deserve this?"

Today I am able to answer that question partially.... my love was always for Tina.....and that never changed. It was just hidden.

Hidden it was under layers of sweat and blood, under layers of booze and binges, under the thought that what happened was maybe "Puppy Love", under the thought that my partner was going to be with me for life, under the thought that life was cool and that nothing would change.

Alas...every thing changed..the only thing that din't change was "My love for Tina"

I love you Tina......

Is there a stronger word that I can use to describe my feeling?? If there is please tell me. Because what I feel for Tina is not love...its more than love. It is a soulful feeling which is draining my emotional energy right out of my body.

My mind is in a turmoil.... am I destined to love someone who doesn't belong to me?

Ah...Tibet here I come.... I need tranquility.....I need peace.....I need to stay disconnected from this soulless world.
