off Late

Never knew I am such a loner. I never enjoyed those messy gatherings though. All the speed has brought it to a standstill, life for me has turned out to be a series of decisions with dreams dwindling ; and these aforesaid set of words adorn my gtalk status message space these days from the point where they start making sense. Off-late life taught me the art of expecting the unexpected. Off-late it informed me about all my dreams , perhaps I always took them for granted before.  off- late it made them look so difficult to come true. 

I remember how i had completely forgetten every problem in an attempt to live up with th speed. It went fast but only to bring it to a hault. Had thought of gifting him big from my first salary although maa has always been my favourite when it comes to gifts and myself as a whole but this time wanted to make him feel special  and believed he would like it. He always does ...DID when bhaiya brings..brought those new pairs. Offlate life intimidated me that I was two months late for that,  August 's two months away from october (placement time) till when he chose not to wait. 

Offlate life taught me punctuality but the schedule was never intimated. Now, I know I am the defaulter without knowing the deadlines which I had to stick to...The punishment is the harshest of all which I got in my lifetime. I lost him Off-late......

Offlate, before such tragedy beckoned on you, i too had to face a similar fate of unfortunate events. I lost my cousin sister who was more than a part of our family, who lived with my mothr for most of her life- before and after marriage. But a sudden stroke, leading to a drastic decision took her far enough from where there was no looking back, just repentance and tears. Life in all its complexities teaches us lessons which we are seldom ready to learn so soon, but as mortals with a heart full of feelings and a soul replete with memories, it offers, sometimes, more than we can ever face. But, as all the other things in life and around us goes on with a striking persistence that soon everything seems back to normal. Normal....did i say normal when all inside us left is a sea of emotional turmoil and mental flux, ready to dismantle us from not just our very feet but our very resolve and resoluteness. I won't tell u words that he is around you or feel him every time you achieve something because life is sometimes harsh and we have to become or make ourselves harsher to face its cold treatment. But as they say memories never die and so the good ones should only remain and others perish, to cherish the good things to come, for act as HE would have expected of you if HE was still alive in this mortal world. Live as if HE is your perennial source of inspiration. I know you have stood some tough times and will stand tougher ones with either a smile or disdain.....but i know you will. Well as far as your writing is concerned it has and will awake
nostalgia in most of the mortal souls. just see that while writing complex emotional sentences you use simple words and sentences. keep writing......i'll keep pouring in.

it is always great to read great writers and u are one. comes right from the heart and amazingly so proves that u are the best. however i dont think i need to reinforce the long drawn "we are always there".

What should i believe here?
How am i to stay now?
I can't hold on any longer.
Arms stretched only to feel the hollow way.

treading an undefined path.
Tearing up within.
The torment of forced solitude.
Had a beginning but no end.

One day i shall learn to fly.
And I shall be all alone.
No one to give me company.
None even to follow.
