Snippets of the mind by Gagansvaid

whether it's in your coming in or departing, that my heart would sleep? the one who succumbs, isn't really the heart those are the memories. you gave me enough reasons to know you well, only to leave me behind forging links to the girl whom i had known once, a long time back. not that our love was a bond that had a time-frame, it's still there and not that our feelings have dissipated. for they have grown immensely like the twigs lead to the branches. it could be true that our meeting was to help us discover how full of wonder the person in the either of us is. sometimes, it takes the interaction of soul-mates to lead the path for each other. they might not be together for every sunrise & sunset but their breaths say the definite songs of their togetherness. i love you, oh departing lover that's what i always had for you.

School friends are always special to us, and so it happened that we three had planned a meet-up after a long gap. I was excited to meet Ankur and Himanshu and our plan was almost on (proof being our WhatsApp group) but suddenly I had to change the outcome. I messaged in the group, "Guys, just got to know that I am selected for a competition. But the thing is, I need to be there for three days - it starts this Monday.") The best thing about friends is that they turn out to be the most supportive people on the planet, especially when we need it the most. I was tensed regarding what they would say to me for delaying the meetup, but what I received were congratulations and good-luck messages! I left for the competition on Monday and then finally we planned to meet on Friday! This called for excitement when I took my camera bag along while leaving from home to see them. All I remember is telling Ankur to take me to the Hanuman temple, a very famous temple in Jhandew...

"Through the roads of lustre and potential I would like to walk", said the boy. "Destiny takes us through many hills," said an old man in glee. "Why are you happy? I ask thee." Replied the young boy. "Oh, that, it's because I see myself in you, you little champ!" The two of them walked through the street, they felt the downpour of rain,  smiles on their faces, they danced in hunky-dory, for friendship had opened its wings of acceptance; and the old man had found his childhood.
