had to but couldn’t

-
 The night was right, it was gleaming bright....... the moon made its  dying  efforts to pull the strings left loose by the dead sun....but that was the night , i was to tell anita about my dark side,it  had to be....After waiting night after night, to find the precise moment,to unmask my bloody face and show her  who i was , who i really am...that face that she used to cuddle, which was the property of her  lips, had stains of some other women, reeked of some other wax unknown to her.....But the mask won’t come out, entangled by strings attached to her heart, it wanted delicate hands that would pull them out one by one, it screamed for justice...........
 I couldn’t wait , i had waited for long, ..........i just couldn’t anymore....i just had to.........
 I remember, one night i was about to tell her all about myshelf. On that very morning we had fought on a very trivial matter, we both knew the fire wasn’t strong enough to burn the house, there was something much more stronger  that had been brewing underground  for months now.....I came back early from office, i knew couldn’t work, at least not on that day...........she was in the kitchen, as i opened the door, she came to me and for some reason went back, i could sense even she had something to tell, maybe she liked someone else, maybe she also had an affair, may be wanted a divorce. I thought for two seconds as the man who used to love her like hell, rather than the man who was about to tell her about his extra-marital  affair. Then i realised she was still angry due to the morning’s affairs. I went to her  n hugged her, hugged her like it was my last day, held her as if she if she would  go away to a place far away.  I still loved her, i knew i couldn’t do this to her, the passionate kiss that lasted for ages, settled all the months anger, fears, insecurities. Love had no other definition but ANITA.
  The night crawled in, i had to.....i just had to...i knew won’t ever get an opportunity to tell her the truth..i waited for darkness to engulf us, with much resistance from moon, finally, it left me all alone. I saw her innocent face, she was sleeping on my arms, i woke her up with a kiss on her forehead. She refused to wake up and dug herself deeper in my arms.
Things might have been different if i had but i couldn’t......... just couldn’t.....................

Just one text message, three misplaced beautiful words and a sender who was a close friend till then, was enough for my 6 years of building to come crashing down into mud and stones.... The message blew everything away my love, my life, my family, my friends, everyone and everything i called mine  After getting discharged from  the hospital she  decided to leave me .She had  walked  in my life when my life was rotting in drugs n pulled me out of it and left it to rot again. I had taken a never ending leave drowned in the depth of my sorrow i had stated drinking...not actually started but going by the amount of spirit that entered my body ..may be....with no responsibilities no restriction no deadlines, i was a free soul,i knew that it wasn’t the solution but i was helpless. A month had passed, with no soul being around i longed to hear someone touch, someone listen, to someone to feel.   Draped in a red saree, she walked in the dark room. Picked up the pillow, pulled the cha

why not give it a try......

Sometimes it seems   our brain is the most adamant and lazy viewer, all it wants is entertainment, , all it wants is spice in what he sees and thus muddles up our preconceived notions to just abstract ideas ,our principles to lame thoughts and promises to words uttered in plain aggression . At my teenage marriage was something that   brings a new girl to your home, as life progressed it seemed as a way produce babies,a passport to get laid, soon a new word got added to the list RESPONSIBILITY, that   changed the whole dimension   to my definition of   marriage. Suddenly i was swaying away from marriage. I saw a helpless part in every women i met a part that would drag   me to my basics, clip my wings ,cut down my new found freedom , freedom from obligations to my parents ,freedom from pretending to be an ideal teenager. At no cost i wanted to lose that, at no cost   i wanted to sit down make a budget for my spending   for the next month, count every penny i spent, analyze    hundred fa

A bit more A bit more sleep, a bit more of time in the Shower, bit more of time ..... bit more of solitude, bit more of tears,a bit more........of her... I always wanted to chase down my future,grab its neck, bring him to his knees and then smartly walk past by it.I dreamt of it and every single day kept getting close to it inch by inch ,inch by inch and then suddenly..... life came to a halt.it had stopped for 3minutes atleast and then.. started crawling like a snail.. a creature which uses almost 60% of its body part to move.Well, i was easily in a deeper shithole, i had to convince every 365 bones of mine, along with its fleshier relatives to MOVE.Moving from one work to another took me years. Not that i was slow,i didnt wanna be fast...i wanted to see her laugh, wanted to see those blessed saturdays,that smile she gave after cracking a cheap joke, our booze fridays, our trip to goa, my first promotion,our first night i felt immersed into them falling down.....down the to the deep
