Broken..

She-I love you so much it almost pains me.Why won't you answer me dammit?Are you even listening to me?
She heard silence from the other side of the reciever.
He-What do you want to hear from me?
She-Did you touch her?
He-Yes i did.
She-Hugged each other?
She holds her breathe.
He-Yes.
She-You kissed her?She wanted you to?You wanted to?
He-Why are you asking this?Please stop.
She-No.I want to know all about it.
He-Yes...Yes I wanted to kiss her.
She-You were with her all night.Weren't you?
He-Yes I was.
She-Did she crawl next to you naked and asking for it?
He-Asking for what?
She-Asking to loose it to her.
He-Loose what?
She-Your virginity.
He-Yes she did.
She-You gave in?
He-I...ah..Why are you asking me all this.It is paining you so much already then why all this?
She-I want to know please because anyway it would kill me from inside to just assume things.
He-Yes I lost my virgnity to her.
She-You..y..you..agreed just like that?..Howw..
She breaks into sobs.
He-Shhh...I didn't me..mean..t..too..
She-You did not mean to?You did not mean to have sex you are telling me.
He-I did not want you to feel this way.
She-This is still going fine.Now answer this to me.This is the last one.Do you love her?
He-Yes I do.
And she can't think anymore.As her heart breaks into pieces which she is unsure of being ever able to gather and mend back.A pained yelp escapes her lips as she bursts into a painful cry.He just listens helpless..cause niether he had words to soothe her and nor was he there present physically..

Before destination reach.

I have been really lazy and not updated this blog of mine for a longtime.So updating with a conversation.

C-Which direction do we have to go?

A-Just wait we told him when we board the auto.

She starts giggling watching him all drenched in sweat

A-You want this?(showing the napkin she held in her hands)

He eagerly grabbed it, wiping the sweat of his face and neck.He glanced at his watch, nudging her.She saw what he wanted to make her see and smiled at him.

C-We are on time right?

A-No we are half an hour late.But never mind they will be waiting for us only.

Autowala-Aa gaya.(We have arrived)

C-Kitne huay bhaiya?(How much money do we have to pay?)

Autowala-Tees rupay.(Thirty rupees)

A-Ye lo bhaiya(Take this )(shoving a 50 rupees note in his hands)

C-Nahi uske paise wapas do ye lo tees rupay.(No.Give her money back and take this 30 rupee)

Pouting she takes back the money.Entering the gate..

C-Chal daude(Lets run)

A-Nahi woh intezar kar lenge aur maine heels bhi toh pehni hain.(No.They will wait, moreover i have worn heels)

He starts laughing.And they make way towards their destination.

Book Review:My Stroke Of Luck

Title: My Stroke of Luck (Soft Cover) 

Author: Vijay Santhanam

Year of publication:2013

This is a book review of My stroke of luck authored by Vijay Santhanam.I did not know what i had put my hands on before i read the first few pages.I thought it to be just another story of struggle,trial and tribulations but this was something else.More than life and beyond the normal thinking.The mans own story in his own words.The journey of forgetfulness yet a hint of remembrance. What will you do when you can see a face recognize it yet not put a name or relation to it? Leave that! What if you cannot distinguish between male and female?

Vijay had a stroke at the age of 41 which left him paralyzed on right side of the body.The simplest of the daily chores weren't possible to accomplish without assistance but that changed eventually just because of the right mix of determination,companionship and motivation.Mentioned at the very beginning is that he is not from a medical background and whatever he shared,he has experienced.Everyone have their own personal experience and you can only learn from others experience.So there is a lot of learning that we get in this book.

First and foremost the valuable lesson that the book will teach you to not to ignore your gut feelings when something is wrong with your body system.You are brave,you know you are healthy but if you get yourself checked for a persistent little problem it can avert a very big problem[here a headache was a little problem but grew to a stroke when ignored(not checked)].How the desire for something(Vijay is a fan of cricket and during his  stroke he has co-authored “If cricket is a religion,Sachin is god” and “The business of cricket:The story of sports marketing in India” with Shyam Balasubramanian)you love with all your life makes a strong inspiration to fight with the problem.Family and friends being your support system in the harsh time.The unpredictability of what will happen next and will i be able to pass the time of test creates a leap of heart inside you as you would either be grinning with joy that he passed it or will be sad knowing he has to work on it again to pass it.He had to start learning from the very basics to get to the hard things which were so normal before being affected.Now what all did he learn and how did each day progress it surely is to be read by you.

You do not know what will life offer you the very next second and so it is better to make the most in the moment you are.The most intriguing part for me was where i learned that the side of brain affected is reverse of that of the side of body.The author of course has a very practical approach and why not because he experienced a situation where he was as good as half dead.The spirit to overcome the impossible and make come true the power of will is what is reflected strongly in every page you read.
