I’m not the one suffering!

I’m not the one suffering nor am I the one standing in those long queues. Still, I am speaking up against this act. Not for myself but for the ones suffering. Life is not only what you have. Happiness is not only getting what you want. Pain is not only what hurts you. Life is to see others live. Happiness is to see others happy too. And pain is to feel what others go through. I have not faced any issues yet, because luckily whatever amount I had saved was in 100s or in my bank account. I had only one 1000 and one 500 which I, anyway am not going to exchange. But seeing people suffer is what makes me speak up. Because it is said, “If you see a wrong, change it with your hands. If you are not physically able to change things or stop wrongdoings, then you must speak out against it, or advise against it, or advise a better way, or even call for help. But if you are powerless to act on any of the two methods above, then you must oppose it in your heart.” I do not have the power to change things with my hands.

Mixed feelings!

She was smiling with tears in her eyes and crying with a smile on her face. The feeling was difficult to explain. In that hug of hardly a minute, she imagined everything about their past, present and future too. The fear of losing him got tears into her eyes and the feeling of having him with her at that moment got a smile on her face.

Excitement is: Waiting for someone!

Excitement is: Waiting for someone.
Someone you know for more than 5 years.
Someone you have been best friends with for more than 4 years.
Someone who knows the in and out of you and still loves you the way you are.
Someone who is as close to you as your heart but still is miles away from you.
Someone who is the person you trust the most and believe in, the most, but haven’t met yet.
Someone who’s not just a friend, but your guide, your support in every thick and thin of life and a person who understands you the best.

Waiting is such a strange feeling.
As the time comes closer, the wait increases.
Something you waited for years and then for months and then days.
But the toughest wait is those last few hours when you are just very close to it still, cannot afford to wait any further.

Just out of curiosity to see each other face to face, they one day, out of the blue said “Let’s meet sometime in Dubai”.

She then had no plans to go to Dubai & for him, it was something that would take ages.
And as time went by, things faded and the Dubai plan settled down somewhere under the sea like the sand.

So did they really meet, if yes then what happened after their meeting? Their friendship became stronger or did they fall in love with each other? Are they now married? If yes, then to whom? Each other???? Yes? No?
