A letter to a father

Dear Dad, 

I have seen kids playing with their fathers 
early in the morning before they leave for school. 
Since the time I have started recognising you, 
You've never been in senses. 

I have seen fathers coming to PTM and saving their kids from all the scoldings 
And I have looked at my mother playing both the roles in that same space. 

I have seen girls and guys talking about how easily they share their problems with their fathers, 
I can't remember a single time when I have sat next to you and spoken even about my curriculum .

I have seen fathers teaching maths to their kids. 
How many times do you know I have flunked in it? 

I have seen fathers being proud of their children doing what they do, 
And all I know about you is that you want me to get married soon. 

I have seen fathers being the wings to take flight, 
You somehow become the reason why I don't know how to even walk on my own. 

Yes you've given me a lot. Never did you make me realise that we aren't well off. 
Mom says you should be respected because you have brought me up. But is money everything and moments nothing at all? 

I am used to it all. But would want a time when you don't abuse, don't drink and ask me what has been meaning of my life till now. 

From 

Your daughter.

Happily ever after.

                                       Everyone in this world loves to be loved, and the feelings are doubled when they are mutual. Sneha, 21 years old, fair and beautiful, remembers how she used to wait for February 14 th , since she entered the teenage, for something romantic and special to happen.  But eventually nothing used to happen, and the day used to be either normal or really bad. The kind of person she is, she always loves to imagine, to dream, to fascinate about everything that seems to be romantic. Every time she watched some romantic movie, she would imagine all the goody part to be happening with her, in her life. She imagined very often, how a guy would approach her, be around her, make her feel special, send gifts, stare from distance, leave short messages as a clue of his emotions and so on. She always had songs on her playlist that expressed how she used to feel. She remembers when she had her first crush and he said something really nice about her, she

It was all about sex

He wooed me  He caressed He loved me  Like no one else. He weaved a web  To make me prey  In which I fell With no disgrace. We made creases  On bed  And our silhouettes made love on the wall, All night all day, No time no break, We were into each other  With no sense of the world.  I got used to it He was moving away  Experiments weren't working  Well, I wasn't a professional anyway.  Just 3 months and it was going to an end, A relation that started fast  Was walking too soon towards the grave.  I thought it was a road to soul, My journey with him was ending on the bed. No memories, No talks, Just a passion  To make love like insane.  Did we really made love?  I asked myself! He moved on  Saying just three words that "It won't work" The Words that I never wanted to hear  But I knew they were about to come, I realised,  too late but early,  that it was all about sex.

A beautiful liar

In the beginning of our relationship He was the most adorable man, I thought, maybe this relationship would work unlike others And I will do everything I can He praised me with such poetic words That it made me blush I never thought it will, again, end up like others. After a year, he was keen to make this special Kept boosting about his love, that its real Kept asking me about same thing that I can never give, Yes, virginity is a really big matter for me, I say it without shame. Emotions are worthier than sex, I said But he was worried about his so-called image in his friends He said “I gave you so much love, in return, this is what I get?” “I can’t take this step for your stupid image” I said. It was hard to believe this sudden change Sitting on the same old bench I thought, How could he be so selfish? What if I get pregnant did he ever thought about this? “Oh god, why bloody condoms are invented for, Don’t worry; they are 100% safe for sur
