Between the Brackets
'Between the brackets' is the title of the book I m attempting. Writing is a skill I have inherited from my dad and developed with practice. I self-criticize myself when it comes to any creative project and for my first written attempt, I still think I m too far away from being a writer. What really makes me attempt it, is the curiosity of experimenting. I've always learned that when u cannot express in deeds u express in words and when u cannot speak in words then u should write it. Application letters, love letters, text messages, reminder notes, greeting cards, etc. are all we use to express and communicate. But when u have far more to speak about, then a book is the best idea.
'Between the brackets' has a thoughtful title. Brackets are two exactly similar objects just facing towards each other and are used to give u added details for things. So the book is a detailed narration of whatever happens between the two brackets when they face each other. Jia and Adil are the brackets between whom there happens a sequence of abnormal incidents. Adil always thought what he had experienced in life was extreme, but he never knew there was more to come which would stir him inside out. Things were quite simple when brackets had nothing in between. But as gradually things started developing between them, they became more complex and meaningful. The journey is full of never ending confusion and it speaks about how things change when impossibles become possible. Adil never thought the games of truth and dare, hide and seek, catch the bluff were so interesting and dangerous at the same time. A single drop of ink is all it takes to spoil your white shirt and when u try to clean it by rubbing, it spreads more.
Revisit
I was always fond of nice notebooks and diaries. There was a fancy
notebook I had purchased just becoz it was of a very good quality. It
took me 3 years to start using that. I am a person with a different
psychology. The reason for not using that book for a long time was
just because I waited for sumthing worth I cld write in it.
Its the same psychology which makes me update my blog so rarely. And
now again after a long time I've revisited coz I feel my next post is
also worth it.

Memento
Traveling to my work place all alone lost in thoughts.. A past memory comes across me... asks me to sit for a while.. under the shade of memento..and talk about those moments which were beautiful... which I cherish... and talk about those moments, when there was a shine in my eyes. a past memory holds me back..!!
A montage of my school life, old but still so clear resides in my mind. Small feet with one shoelace tied and one half tied running, splashing the water out of the mud puddles! I remember the fragrance of the rains I used to love so much... I remember the times so well. Getting ready in a hurry to reach school before time to catch up with friends playing in the school campus. Those little brawls on the playground; those candies from the canteen; those after school punishments. I knew kids lying and making excuses at home for getting punished. But then I remember we stayed back in school to play and used to lie that we got punished. Those memories are so precious. I look back to those days, when love meant sharing the lunch, when frustration was just in those small notebooks, when fear was just exams, when the only thing that could hurt were skinned knees, when the only things which broke were toys, when the only people made u cry were teachers, when theonly enemies were siblings.
Childhood days are definately the best days of our lives..!!

Verity
How was it that you came to me,
How blessed i was but its hard to believe;
How blessed i was but its hard to believe;
You descended upon life's placid lake,
like a rare moon;
You caressed me like a warm melody,
now you are gone;
But I still live enthralled,
In you my peace.. you are my passion,
My love for you is etermal.!
Pathways, streams and rivers all change;
Glimmering lamps cast lights of change;
The ryhtm of the rain will also change;
And the nature of seasons will change too;
But I shall forever be the same to you
As i've always been arm in arm with you
every moment, always...!!
