The Reaper

Who awaited him? Nobody even wants to see his face. We pray our entire lives only to meet him in our sleep.  We constantly look for reasons to avoid thinking of him. If ever, there happens to be a chance when we’re nearing him, we’re on an instant look out for our loved ones. We begin to think about things we’ve done, things we wanted to do, and things we never wanted. This moment was one of those. It’s staring at us, but none can see it.
It’s me. He’s with me, looking at me. The moment I see that look into his eyes I know what he wants. And I now know why I am here. Acceptance would do no good. It only makes me weaker when I stand in front of him, making me look helpless, or rather making him more powerful. Why me, I ask myself. The wickedness he cannot hide is resonant in the fact that he’s here, wanting what does not belong to him. Wanting what never could want to be his. Why me, now I know.
My mistake stares at me as he gives me a chance to talk to the one I love, one last time, to see me hurt, and to see my love hurt even more.
I like you so much. So much that I never wanted to leave you. I find myself in you, I lose myself in you. There is nothing else in this world I want more than I want you. There is nothing else in this world I can lose more when I lose you. But it’s time. It’s time when time stands still, because he is here. 
Nothing changed. I can’t find him here. Lost in a familiar place, I weep. I weep with joy. As I fight back my thoughts, some of the real glowed. The end does not arrive, until the beginners chase it. It’s not my fear that lost; it’s my heart that won.

Waking up to the sounds of nature, She did all she could to avoid her start to the day. The routine wasn't hers to follow, so God help those who wanted to help her. With a bag full of munchies and a bouncy walk with the blaring music in her ears, she walked to her regular book store - one that was not ruined by the virtues of modern technologies. In the pile of her books, behind her glasses, she felt like a princess in her own right. Owning the world of words. Conquering all thoughts. Riding her horse of imagination. "This one is tricky",  she heard a voice which almost felt like it came from within. "I can't seem to decide what book I want read. They all either equally good, or well, equally bad." Slowly rising from the top rim of the book, her eyes tried to make sense of what her ears just caught. "Sir, what genre of books do you read?", asked the furious sales woman behind the counter. She was obviously not happy with this confused customer who

Gimme gimme.. mooooore! THIS DAY AND THAT THINGS!

Walking on a street in Nerul (Navi Mumbai), at 11.30 in the night, you are singing ‘Maujja hi Maujjaa’, dancing ‘wierdly’ to the tunes of ‘Nasik dhol’ hums, smiling your way to glory, its just a hangover of the historic match in ‘D.Y. Patil stadium’ – the bbbigest stadium in Mumbai, witnessing its first match ever! ‘Mumbai Indians match tickets! Please get me a ticket I beg you!’ Here starts my journey to get to my FIRST MATCH in a stadium, ever! The‘oh! My god! I am so egg-xited’ syndrome never seemed to end. Arrangements to the stadium and back were all done, don’t ask how! Well, after all not everyone gets the opportunity to such a historic match, you see. Ok, try and get the picture. You are 12-15 youngsters, in 3 different cars, getting to a stadium, 4 hours in advance. In the car, with absolutely no idea of the scorching heat outside, the smoke of the trucks and other vehicles, the traffic, its just The Match in our heads at the moment. You reach the parking place next to the sta
