  1. Something

    Jan 10, 2007

    Is it all you want to say?”-She asked him. Still he was silent and dormant. She couldn’t guess what was going inside his mind.
    It was moment of their departure-the time when so called friends forever had to move their ways. The train blew its last whistle still he uttered nothing. And this was not what she had anticipated about their final departure-their separation. In the very heart of her heart she knew that “there is something unsaid on the other side, but what is that?

    And slowly the train started pulling out of the station. She was fixed to the door and her eyes reading his. But she found nothing…….. At one moment she thought why after all am I trying to read something? As the train started pulling faster he started running along her compartment and finally held her cold hand in his but then destiny is a big thing- separation was bound to come.

    As the train bid goodbye to the station she couldn’t stop her eyes getting wet. One question constantly reverberated her mind: “Why didn’t he utter even a single word?
    And she felt something in the hand he had held for a moment at the station. It was a piece of paper which read: Sometimes in life we want to move ahead but our past so strongly clings to us that we become oblivious to the voice of our heart. I would have uttered the voice of my heart but then that would be a selfish thing. Because I know you have a bright world awaiting you and I have darkness of my life to take care of. If I ask you to accompany me to carve out the darkness of my life, I would be spoiling your brightness.

    So I wish ……you move ahead.

    Her eyes wept uncontrollably………………..
    With wet eyes she asked a person standing nearby: “When will the train reach next station? I’ve something………….

      Hello Sunil,
      Thats a really lovely story that u hav written down here..surprisingly Preetha had written a blog on similar lines and i gues in a way this story conveys to some extent wat i was tryin to say there..its a lovely story..captures all the emotions of a mind torn apart..thinkin whether it shud listen to itself or to wat the heart says..
      beautifully written..
      Everything's goin on well at my end..hope its the same at ur end too!!:)
      tc.

      hey sunil,
      that was again beautiful. But is everything alright??
      I'm getting a feeling that you are missing something....
      maybe just a feeling.

      i always wonder about trains...my best moments and my worst ones are always somehow been corelated with it.

      Sunil, some things happen in an instance, some things get late, yet they turn out to be real good. You blog is for me the latter.. I read all your stories, a few posts and all those marvellous pieces of poetry. It`a pity that though we seem to have a lot of common friends, I never chanced upon your blog. and I am glad I did.. this blog is truly marvellous.. Your writing skills are truly superb.

      Shall drop in more often from now.

      With Best Regards,
      Srijith.

      that is a beautiful touching piece. Read your tag too. Especially liked the one "born intelligent..". and yes, i never knew zero can creat so much problems till i am seeing it from my son's eye. When i am teaching him time, it is so important that he writes 5.30 am/pm and in general decimals these zeros have no value. v.confussing

      Good style of writing. Thanks for dropping by.
