Aaj arson baad hai tumhen apne hoton se hai lagaya..
Rooh me hai ek aag jaisi daud uthi ho jaise…..
Mausam bhi jo ye ho chala suhaana..
To le Liya tumhe apne haathon me….
Yun, to dil chahta hai ki tum aise hi raho..
Par pata hai, kuch lamhen hi rakh paunga tumhe..
Kaash ye waqt yun hi teher jaye..
Aur aise hi baarish ki rimjhim me tum..
Bas.. Yun hi…
Dear Love,
You were there with me in thick and thin. All my tensions could be relieved only when you were with me. You were there whenever I wanted you to be there, sometimes even late at night ( of course with the time limitations in check. Bangalore has been cruel that way for us.) You made sure that all my worries were kicked off, just with our little meetings here and there.
Mornings were not complete without our little talk, and those 10 minute breaks in between the classes also had their own precious little moments. Moments, those lovely ones, where I’d walk downstairs just to meet you, but you never ever did the same. But, yes how could you??
And how can I forget the time we had during the international tour. If we couldn’t meet outside for some strange reasons, due to the tight schedule, or taking other things into consideration, the hotel room was always there for help to meet every night after night. And with my roomie not there till late night, we indeed had a great time.
Gosh!! I miss that!!
Miss being so addicted to you, your smell, everything about you.
And had been missing you for all those lovely memories I’ve had with you.
But I need to Confess!!
And this is going to be one big confession; I have started seeing someone else over here.
Please don’t be mad at me for this, and please listen.
I’ve had my reasons for that, had my needs, and just couldn’t help it. Last time that we met, almost a month back and after that, life had changed a lot. This has been as a result of this Internship. Being a Salesman is tough and in this cruel heat, it’s even tougher. This cruelty is also one of the few reasons why I just had to stop all what we had. It was as if, I just couldn’t have you with me.
I must admit, that this new one is not at all hot. Nothing and no one can come close to you. She is just the opposite of what you were.
But today, it all Changed again. The weather changed for the better. It was raining. Winds were blowing. I was just back home, drenched in the rainwater. I was just cleaning myself up, and then ammi said, “Coffee banaun beta?” (Shall I make a cup of Coffee for you, son ?)
And here you were, my HOT as ever COFFEE!!! My love!!
One sip and I just forgot every other thing. A smile flashed across my face and when you came in that big coffee mug, as hot as ever, we both again had this little moment after a long time. Having you with me, with rain drops falling in outside. That romantic moment, was just pure bliss.
But yes, although this other one isn’t hot as you, yet with this weather where we live under the cruel sun, does quench my thirst every now and then. Cold drinks are just the only alternative that makes me go through the market selling stuff.
I just hope that there comes a time every now and then, when this weather allows us both to be together more frequently. Maybe, once I return.
Yours Lovingly.

I am assuming you aren’t into reading much! O_o
Mohammad Farooq
No I do read (Not a voracious reader), never got the chance to read these. Have the e-books with me for long, but never got to reading them 🙂

Ebooks kill joy…. It’s like coffee served in a plate instead of a cup. The real joy is in actually feeling the book and transforming into another world holding them….
Start from book 1…
You get these pirated versions on foot path book stalls… #JustSaying plzzzzz don’t read the ebook and kill your experience!
Read the book, watch the movie…for all 7 gems! They are magical… 🙂 coffeee is not even close you know! 🙂
Mohammad Farooq
Don’t compare anything with my Coffee 😛
And yeah I know, books are meant to be read like that only. Even I read it that way. Been trying to read on kindle for long, but just cannot go more than a few pages.
Will try to read kabhi na kabhi 🙂
