<<<>>>Dreams squashed to a rubble!!

-
Vinod-was amongst those youths who in their very formative years migrate to the metropolitan city of Bombay, now Mumbai with parachute laden dreams in their eyes, with the earnest desire of being a denizen of "Lokhandwala or Nariman Point",the posh colony out there besides garnering heaps of wealth,but seldom do they realise that they r missing out on something vital in the life, so vital that the gratitude bestowed by their flair & destiny looks like a bane to them.............

It took Vinod approx. 10 years to be well settled in Mumbai.Being a civil engineer in one of the major construction company,he was content with the subtle life he was living. Several accomplices,both in and outside office but no time as of yet to share his feelings with,that was it. He worked incessantly dedicating himself to the process of minting money. But still at the end of the day,he was a lone ranger in this murkier world and was more than content with his destiny and workaholic nature.

The corporate juggernauts are known for their cunniving nature.Even the so called friends at workplace are crooked rivals.And it so transpired that Vinod was drawn into a well fabricated controversy of passing substandard materials to its construction site and had to leave the job with the pressure building up from all sides......

Mr. Abdul Kalam had rightly retortingly remarked once-
"Always love your job,never your company because you never know when it stops loving you"

Finding a status quo job in the city is like finding a pin in the haystick,with the result that he remained unemployed for a long interlude during which he had minimal of acquaintances offering moral support.His wealth and his self confidence dwindled to a new low. This was when he felt that he had done more harm than good by his reluctance to spend time with his acquaintances.It would have been a different story altogether.Spending joyous times could or couldnt have averted this disaster though,but still the pain and loneliness arising from it could've been subsided.

His all tinsel town dreams had been grounded and squashed to a rubble.

Man choses his own destiny presumably and cant blame anyone except himself.....

Life has indeed a very questionably weird way of getting you to appreciate what you have.This qualm struck Vinod when he was expecting the least !!

When twilight descends, and the world turns dim, I search for your face in the shadows within. The hours stretch like shadows, heavy on my soul, Each moment apart leaves an unfillable hole. In that silence of the night, I call your name,   Each echo carries whispers, a tender flame.   Though distance between us stretches like an endless sea,   My heart beats softly, forever bound to thee.   Stars above us shimmer, like dreams we share,   Yet the moon’s lonely glow can’t compare to your stare.   I trace the paths we walked, the laughter and the tears,   Each memory is a treasure, sweet balm for my fears.      I carry moments between us like a song in my heart, A melody sweet, though we're worlds apart. Each star in the night sky reflects your eyes, A promise of love that never says goodbye. In the corners of my heart and mind, still a longing resides,   A flame that flickers softly, where ...

15 years of almost...

15 years back, we were young then, with laughter that filled our skies, no weight of the world, no need for disguise. We skipped through hours as if time would bend, and I believed our story had no end.   Do you recall the rain, when we both ran barefoot, your hair dripping wet, your eyes absolute? The world spun in chaos, yet you made it still, like silence obeying a higher will. Evenings blurred in cafés, with cups half-sipped, conversations so endless, and hours just slipped. The sparkle of festivals, celebrations aglow, but your smile was brighter than any I know.   We argued like children, then laughed till we cried, you softened my edges, I lost all my pride. In crowded corridors, your glance found mine, and in that moment everything else felt divine.   But life pulled us apart, with threads we couldn’t weave, what we wanted to hold, we had to leave. Years rolled like thunder, yet one truth stayed, that memories of you did never really fade.   I’ve held hands, ...
