Do you know how long longing can be?
Childhood friends are something else. Years of silence, mistrust and pain vanish with that single 'hello' over a long distance call. And the fact that he recognizes your voice- its time to brush those tears that weren't called for.
How did you know its me?, I have to know.
I've called you too many times to hear this voice.
Let them fall, the tears.
And I lean on him across the distance... once again, after so many years.

perfectly describes what I felt couple of months ago..
you write beautifully...emotions are woven into the perfect words.
Any remedy for the uncalled for tears? Apart from letting them flow?
Very very touching..... i guess best of the lot so far.

Deepa
Friendship.....
Those ships seldom sink !!!
Varun: Sigh.
Jo: I guess we all go through similar cycles or loss and more loss.
Samyak: Its worse when they dont fall. The dull ache that persists... thats terrible.
Bakfire: Ty!
S&S: M&M?
Deeps: Is he that old now???!!! My... how time flies!
Preetha: Remidns me of a Tamil song.
Hi
I always wanted to ask, but I felt it would be inappropriate. But never mind, now I ask ;) - Why is it that your posts have a 'he', 'him', 'his' in it, always ?
You talk of childhood friends - you talk of 'him'. You could have picked a 'her' ...
You talk of so many other things ... There is a whiff of 'him' in everything.
You know, it kinda feels good to read. The Yin/Yang balance that it conveys ...and all that. It also subconsciously reminds me always, that the writer is a woman.
Curious to know .....
Of course, if the 'him' usage is for entirely obvious reasons, then my curiosity is rendered redundant immediately. But lets say it has some obscure albeit fresh reasons, something that can be shared ..... Plz do share it
Dear whencatrawman: I have written about so many oh-so-girlfriends too! :) And well, come to think of it 'he' is eternally more 'interesting' n 'unknown' than 'she'.
was searching for the lyrics of "main aur meri tanhayee" when i stumbled on your blog.
you may have heard this very often by now, but anyways, here goes - you write very beautifully.
loved e'thing that i have read on 'I finally publish'.
