Fantastic Fantasy with Bitter Reality..!!

As a kid, I was always jealous of my fellow kids who used to stay in a joint family. For me, joint family is like a dream…so many people at home, grandparents stay along with you. This thought used to drive me crazy…how lucky is a kid staying with grandparents. GRANDPARENTS - who pampers you a lot, tell you so many stories, always take your side when mummy-papa shouts at you, get you so many things to eat… all fantasies in childhood will be fulfilled if you get to stay with your grandparents. I only got summer holidays to enjoy with them. 

After 23 years, now that my dream is coming true…but of course the reason why my grandparents are staying with us is very sad…I don’t understand what God really plans for everyone’s life. Due to sudden demise of my uncle (only son to my grandparents), they happened to come and stay with us as my mother is their elder daughter.

Now, it is the time for me to enjoy all the fantasies which I wanted to enjoy as a kid. To some extent, I am completely happy to relish the moments with them…my grandmother, such a wonderful person, completely a new personality whom I haven’t known from childhood. She shared so many of her experiences right from her childhood, schooling, marriage, children…her life is like an epic for me. She said she even wanted to write a book when she was young, but she couldn’t. I was surprised to hear her thought-process, which even some people in modern world don’t have. 

But, recently I realized, I am enjoying and living in the world of fantasies where everyone looks happy…but the reality made me think whether everyone is really happy as I am and enjoying the current “life-style” or not. 

Then these facts came into picture:
  • The place where you are living matters a lot than with whom you are living. I mean, though my grandparents are living with us, the place is quite new for them. It is difficult for them to go out on their own and they can’t always ask for someone to come along. Even if you wanna go along and make them feel comfortable, they feel they are burdening you. It is really hard to explain them that it is pleasure to spend time with them.
  • The way of living is completely different in everyone’s home. It may be your own daughter’s home…but everything seems different when you actually start living there. “Life-style” really matters a lot and adapting to a completely new environment is really tough for anybody. This very thought sent chills to my spine, how can I adjust in a complete new home after marriage while I observe my grandparents finding it hard to adjust in their daughter’s home. OMG… it is gonna be a tough task…!!

Some such facts and couple of constraints are making me sick of losing my fantasy world yet again. But I have no idea what is gonna happen…!!

These conclusions made me think a bit broad minded… many other families might also have a similar problem…some might have adjusted…some might have learned to live the way it is comfortable…but I am not sure if everyone is living HAPPILY…!! Hope so…!!

In Pursuit of TWIN SOUL – ALL IZZ WELL :D :D

-->
--> -->
Sruthi was speechless after reading his precious words “Patience - to keep myself away and calm from the thought of hugging you…Each and every time…!”…who said “Actions speak louder than Words”? Surya made it the other way…his words told her more than what he didn’t express to her till that moment…!!

There were hundreds of thoughts running in her mind…It was something unusual that was happening…his mail clearly expresses what he feels for her…but is that all for her, forever? If it is, then, what else she really want in life…!! With this thought, she made up her mind to express her feelings towards him…
Sruthi decided that Surya is her life…and her HappYness…!!
Finally, they are in “LOVE”…! :)) Yet not proposed… ;-))

The Proposal Day…!!




One fine autumn morning…cool breeze, flowers falling from the trees...He came with flowers bouquet…stretching his arms wide…welcoming her for a hug…a glance at the him made the her blush like hell…he was staring at her and background music starts….Ohhhhh…. ohhhhh…..stop it now…;-)) :P

If at all you are imagining this scene in your mind…pls wipe it off…:P :P
There was absolutely no such drama in their story… it was a very normal day…but the way Surya started looking at her and the way he started behaving with her is completely changed. And Sruthi could exactly understand what he is trying to convey with all his actions…!!

In the meanwhile, Surya started telling everything about how happy their life is gonna be…family, friends, kids, everything…Sruthi had burst out into tears…tears of HappYness…uttering those magical words for the first time… “I love you”…!! Surya was startled for a moment…he felt extremely happy…wiped her tears taking her face in his gentle hands…and murmured in her ears… “I love you too sweetheart”… :))

Unlike other routine stories, it didn’t end here with any misunderstandings.
Their love for each other was communicated to both of their parents…and they all agreed for the proposal…since all they want is HAPPYNESS of their children…!!

Surya – Sruthi are enjoying life together…Only the announcement for the final day of Wedding is pending…!!



Epilogue…!!

-->
Surya says:-

-->
She came into my life from a dream which rarely I dreamt of…
Girl with no desire for materialistic pleasures, what matters her is SOUL & HAPPYNESS…!!
When she is happy she explains the entire world how happy she is and strongly the reason for happYness but when in pain she shares it only to her loved ones…
She is possessive, jealous, envious etc. as any other girl on earth when it comes to "LOVE" but believe me she is an ANGEL unlike the other girls J
A gal who reads me so much and puts me in her words...
Ahhhh..!!
You can call this as Telepathy
OMG..!! I'm blessed to have such a gal.
A gal who speaks of happYness that she gonna give when she is with her guy for whole life but doesn't even think of her own happYness…for her happYness is what she gonna give her GUY…!!
I can tell you she is not SOULMATE, she is my HALF SOUL
Love u babee...


-->
Sruthi says:-

-->
-->
I have never seen a person who is so loving and caring…
He is so pure at heart like a kid…and very mischievous too…:D
But when it comes to me…he is an adorable man…
There is absolutely nothing for me to ask him… coz he does everything before I speak up…
He liked me as I am…but he wants to change only my surname…!!
A guy who is very proud to introduce me as his girl to the world…without any fear or hesitation…
For him, it is always my happYness…and he finds it more joyous than his own happYness…
He loves me like a mom, protects me like a father, takes care of me like a brother, understands me like a best friend, admires me as a boyfriend, respects me like a husband and treats me like his child..!!
I am happy, proud and honored to share…no no…to spend my LIFE with such a wonderful and sweet person…!!
What should I call him…except my “TWIN SOUL”…!!

 

Happies Endings…!!

In Pursuit of TWIN SOUL – “BREAK” ke Baad ;-))

Aaage chale…!!

Surya – A guy with lot of friends…a big gang…He is always busy having fun with them…a guy who is very lively, active and fun-loving. Anybody who knows him or just sees him daily assumes that he is the happiest person in the world. Many people do ask him "How can you be so energetic all the time"...But nobody ever tried to figure out what he is exactly. On the whole, he is a happy-go-lucky man for the world.


Sruthi – A girl who gets noticed this way at a first glance…seemed as if everything is at its best and she behaves as if she believes in “life has to happen this way” so strongly….Very dull, moaning all the time, lifeless - all such sort of adjectives describe her. But who knew that she is quite talkative, very funny, too romantic, and killingly beautYful and have a very lovely soul.
All she needed was someone to awaken it.

In spite of many differences, they have one thing in common - strong liking for each other. Soon, their friendship which was confined to an hour’s journey got extended. Surya started inviting her for breakfast with his friends and Sruthi started calling him for tea with her friends. Both started spending more time with each other.

This new friendship brought many changes in both of them especially Sruthi. She started being more lively and happy after his presence in her life. He always made sure that she is enjoying every passing moment. Sruthi’s arrival in life made Surya to consider life in a different perspective (may be the exact point of view, which he always overlooked / compromised). Sruthi understood what she missed till then in life and Surya realized what he exactly wanted in life.

A Walk to Remember..!!

One day, during the return journey to home, Surya started telling Sruthi so many things about his life. The one who is always busy in only listening to what Sruthi is talking (blah blah ;-))) is doing it the other way but that was a serious discussion. Sruthi was amazed to see that angle of Surya.

After getting down from the bus, he walked along with her till her home for the first time. He completely opened up to her about his life. Sruthi felt he trusted her, so much that he shared each and every detail about him and his life. That is the first time she felt her home should have been little far. Both of them couldn’t stop the discussion… both of them don’t want the day to end, both of them wanted that journey to be a bit longer… A walk to remember forever in life…!!

Surya gave Sruthi his diary to read… “Diary” which reflects the inner feelings of a person, which nobody like to share/show to anyone, was given to her… Though it is not polite to read one’s diary, Sruthi couldn’t deny the offer. She felt, he is welcoming her to his life in that way.

After reading about so many beautiful moments and his wonderful thoughts in his own words, everything right from the day they both met, she started appreciating the soul beyond the words. Sruthi’s fondness for Surya turned to admiration from that moment.

Both underwent a couple of unforeseen incidents which transformed their lives completely.  

Turn of the Tide..!!

From the very next day… everything is changed. Sruthi and Surya could feel a sense of belonging for each other.

Surya started giving a lot of surprises for her. He took the privilege of breaking her diet plans by giving a chocolate to her daily though she is lazy enough to execute a plan… For Surya, everything about her is beautiful…including her being lazy ;-)) :P :P

Sruthi has taken utmost care of him such that he could see his mirror image in that aspect. Surya, who doesn’t have a habit of having tea, coffee @office started having it twice (sometimes thrice) a day with Sruthi.

Every day is a new day…with all happYness… euphoria… surprises… fun… bliss…!! Yet they treat each other as best friends (but somewhere deep in heart, it is much more than that ;-)))…!! 


One day, by the time Sruthi reached her desk, after a long break with some other friends, she found her mailbox showing an unread mail from Surya with subject “Patience..!!”. She thought it might be some forwarded mail and opened it. But to her surprise Surya has written a big mail in his own words…she was astonished by the mail which read like this:

It requires so much of..

patience


To look at u when u ah sleeping..

To be with u when u ah happy and sad..

To walk with u when u desire for one..

To listen your voice when u ah speaking..

To take all your words when u spell..

To stand by u when u ah in pain..

To experience elation when u jus laugh..

To regret for lifetime when u bemoan..

To step along with u when u joy..

To walk away from u in distress when u ah with “Someone”..


P.S:-

Patience- to keep myself away and calm from the thought of Hugging you..

Each and every time..  

With lots of Love,
Surya…!!!



Phir Milenge…!!

In Pursuit of TWIN SOUL - Tum Jo Aaye Zindagi Mein

-->
It’s 6:00 am and the alarm started ringing loudly… Sruthi woke up suddenly from her sound sleep and stopped the alarm. It is her routine – to wake up at 6, get ready by 7, travel an hour and reach office, full day @ office and reach home at night.

The Day “I met You”…!! 



As everyday she started to office and got into bus. Surprisingly, it was so crowded that day. She couldn’t find a window seat empty, so she started to look for a place where she can sit without any disturbance. She spotted a place where a guy is asleep with his bag in next seat. Sruthi thought that would be the correct place to occupy as the guy is already asleep, so no chance for a conversation. She just moved his bag and sat there. The thought that is going on in her mind is:-“the moment he opens his eyes he will find me beside him and  wonders where his bag is”.

After an hour of sound sleep, he opened his eyes and found Sruthi looking at him with a smiling face. He couldn’t react anything except giving her a smile. He looked around and spotted his bag. Since, he didn’t react anything, out of courtesy, Sruthi introduced herself. “Hi, I am Sruthi, I just moved your bag and sat here… since you are sleeping, I couldn’t ask you…Sorry about that” … this is the first time she is taking to him,  though she has been observing him from a long time ;-)) . He replied “Hey that’s ok… anyways… this is Surya… and nice to meet you...!”  Both exchanged smiles…!! 

Day passed and it’s time to leave from office. Sruthi got in to the bus and found Surya. She sat next to him. The girl who is very talkative is not talking anything to the guy whom she has been observing from a long time and found that the guy is also very lively and talkative. Still they both are silent…just “hi…how is the day...!” “Yeah…it’s good…!” Both are busy with their phones.
 
Kahani Shuru…!!!

Days are passing…now it is a routine for Sruthi and Surya to sit with each other in bus. Yet both are silent. One day, Sruthi asked Surya’s mobile number (Since, Surya boards the bus first; he could give her the status about the bus and also could stop the bus if Sruthi is late). They exchanged their numbers. The other day, Surya asked for Sruthi’s e-mail id. She gave it. Soon, they became friends. Smiles, texts, e-mails…!! Still, Surya could figure out Sruthi is silent…not much talkative. But he observed that she texts him very well.

One day, out of curiosity, Surya texts this: 

Surya: Hey Sruthi, I wanna ask you something
Sruthi: Yeah Surya, tell me
Surya: I just wanna know the reason why don’t you talk to me like the way you chat on mobile? You are always silent when you sit next to me… why?
Sruthi: Nothing like that Surya, will talk from tomorrow. You asked a wrong question to a wrong person. You gotta bear the punishment from now onwards... ;-))

Surya laughed at her reply. He is so curious to meet her the next day.

Next day… Sruthi got into bus… She came and sat beside him with a smiling face. Surya found her so blissful. Unlike every day, she started talking the moment she sat.

Hi Surya, Good Morning… how are you?

Surya is just staring at her with a smile without replying. Sruthi found a different charm in his face that day… a glow in his eyes… he was looking very stunning. She diverted herself and started talking, talking and talking…!! She said-

You asked me to talk... right? Now one day, you should tell me to stop… I’ll keep **talking till then... ;-))

**talking: included everything right from school, college, friends, family, novels, movies, songs, TV, likes, dislikes, tastes, food, blah blah blah,,,!!! ;))

Surya liked the way the girl is sharing everything with him. He thought “there is something magical about Sruthi…!” The way she talks, her beautiful face, her expressions, her gestures…everything about her is attracting him. And he started showing lot of care and affection towards her.

Sruthi liked the way she is being treated by Surya, very special attention all the time. So much of care and affection made her feel wonderful about their friendship.


That is the day their story has started. Sruthi started liking him and Surya started admiring her.
