An old poem by Wislawa Szymborska,
it still finds it relevance even today…



ABC

I’ll never find out now
What A. thought of me.
If B. ever forgave me in the end.
Why C. pretended everything was fine.
What part D. played in E.’s silence.
What F. had been expecting, if anything.
Why G. forgot when she knew perfectly well.
What H. had to hide.
What I. wanted to add.
If my being around
meant anything
to J. and K. and the rest of the alphabet.

None of them was perfect in all aspects but whatever they had, has surely made me go crazy for them. After coming back from the party, now i realised, bein

Just as a Joker, people love him, enjoy him, but no one stays for him. But still he manages to keep his true face hidden from the world. This is my tribute to most fun loving person i have seen in my life. I across a strange fact, that while many were happy being together yesterday,many were happy being separated.  In Ahmedabad, 4 couples got divorce granted and the smile on there face was enough to explain there happiness. It may be the one side of story but still it makes me sure of one thing that is its all up in your head, whether its 14 Feb or 15 Feb or any other day or simply every day u need to celebrate ur LOVE. Outside a  garden in Ahmedabad, which is famous among couples as a hang out spot, there was this man standing and distributing Coconut Water for free.
