Basu was lying on his bed thinking of something, something which has not been going well since last few months. From the time his girlfriend, Baani, left him his life has completely turned around. Since then he has become less social and seemed to have a good of friends with loneliness. He tries to sleep but his eyes are wide awake. He then reaches for his mobile lying on the table, next to his bed. He stared at his lock screen for hours while tears rolled down his cheeks and memories flooding his mind.

Always 'You'

for me it's always you, no matter what,  it's you after whom I can run all day and all night. if i was given millions of cash & gold, i would trade it for you to hold. I'll forever and always choose you again. And Again And Again

Thinking Of You

Beep!! Beep!! on my phone, I hope it's a text from you. I can read your messages million times, Until I get another from you. Right from the morning to sunset, I've been thinking of someone I've  never met. I wonder if you feel the same, because I'm falling for you again, And again. It's not about a call or a text or an outlandish meme, nor a Facebook like or a loony smiley. It's the idea of sharing my day with you, And smiling all day thinking of you. Pic source: google.com

The Silent Tears

the door slammed, pain is about to come, another tattoo of bruises is now to stain. his fist her face, his kick her abdomen, his abuse her ears. scared and alone she could only weep, tells  her secrets to pillows while asleep. even though she accepted him, loved him to infinite. Because society taught her- to cage herself and call that protection, to survive the violence and call that acceptance. to accept what he gave and call that love. to spread her legs but not her wings. #stopwomanviolence
