A Random Stranger

The day I met My Random Stranger

"12 July 2014, Saturday

8:00 pm

Djinns – Hyatt Regency

It was my birthday and a day before that I broke up with my boyfriend, my life. I had given 5 years to that relationship and more than that my heart and soul. But as most good things come to end so did this. I was in no mood to celebrate my 26^th but just wanted to be alone at someplace where nobody knew me.  I was sitting at a corner seat with my LIIT watching people dancing and enjoying while wondering what went wrong with my relationship. How things took such an ugly turn when he meant the world to me. Suddenly a tall, handsome looking guy asked me something. I was too lost in my thoughts to comprehend what he just said. He again asked if he could occupy the seat next to me as he wouldn’t mind some company. I wondered what good my company could possibly be to him, I myself was a wounded soul. I nodded in affirmation and he took the seat. Little did I knew that my life was about to change, move onto a new path that very moment.

After few minutes of silence he asked me what was bothering me. I was taken aback how he got to know that something was wrong. Was I looking that depressed and all such questions crossed my mind. Something in me wanted to tell him every little detail of things that I was feeling, somehow I knew he would understand but I didn’t. I kept silent. He said never mind I will tell you my story. He started with his childhood, his friends, his first crush, his first girlfriend, his likes, his dislikes, his fantasies, his profession and what not. Listening to him felt like someone was telling me my story. I could connect to every single world he said. It felt like I had lived that life too. It was getting late and he asked my permission to leave. I asked, what I should call him. He replied “A Random Stranger” would do and left.

From that day onwards I visit this place every Saturday in hope to see you again for once. If ever I get a chance I would love to tell you what those few hours with you meant to me. I could see a part of me in you. If there are soul mates then you are mine. I found you and still I lost you. I pray every day that I bump into you once again.”

Oh.. It is 6:00 pm. My mother is home. She is a psychiatrist and as per her I suffer from schizophrenia. She is mad at me as I have not taken my medicines from past 15 days. She thinks you don’t exist. That you are just in my head and not in real. But I know the truth that you are real. I have faith that you are also looking for me and we will meet one day. My Random Stranger we will meet one day right ?

Ek Choti Si Fin Story

The first time I saw you, I though of going Inorganic

Then wondered would investors like it or would they panic

Your ratios and figures left me spellbound

Together we could be better than those around

I sent your way a casual pass

But you refused to walk on grass

I was in love and all for Bear Hugs

But you again gave me a dismissive shrug

As I wondered what if economy goes in recession

My love for you became an obsession

When I decided to go for the kill

I learnt that you took the Poisson Pill

From Golden Parachute to Crown Jewels

You were ready to do whatever it takes and sells

I couldn't see you go through all the pain

And left you with what was yours to retain

WISHES

I wish you could be that friend

Who would stick until the end.

I'll wait for you along the sea
Under the sky would be just you and me.

I would take you along everywhere
What others say I wouldn't care.

If only you could be here
You would know how much I care.

I wish we could be together
Forever and ever.

A Walk To Remember

Yesterday i saw a dream, A dream which was once a reality between you and me. 

I was in your company after such a long time. Though it was a cold winter evening but I had never felt so warm. Hand in hand we walked down the street while sharing my favourite chocolate ice-cream. We strolled to the park and occupied our favorite bench as always. Hours flew by but there was still so much more to share. I felt so complete with you. On my way back I drifted into my land of dreams. I don’t know how long I lived my Utopia. That day, that very moment, everything felt perfect. Just perfect. 

But fate had some other plans for us. Soon things changed. No longer could we be perfect. You and I had to go separate ways for our own good. But that street and that empty bench still kills me. It tears me apart – into odd pieces.

MIDNIGHT DREAMS

I would like to be the light of your life - the first thing you would see each morning. I'll be the balmy air, tickling you to laughter. The arms where you can loop in yours and be on the top of the world. The ears where you can pour all your sorrows. The eyes into which you can look into - deeply, for hours, without an end. The scent of your dreams. Your present and your future. I would like to hold your hand in ups and downs. Throughout. Cry with you.  Always be yours till eternity.

Baby just a "Yes" will do.
