Hope…. Keep It Alive..

Ranjan and Radhika became good friends after some period of time. Their thoughts were same as their relationship status. Both were single and heartbroken. Both had no courage to express their feelings. Although Radhika had been in a relationship in the past but now she was single. And on other hand Ranjan had been in a one sided relationship in the past and had got rejected. Both were looking for a comfort zone which they found in each other’s company.

After sharing their thoughts and understandings, Ranjan started liking Radhika. But since he didn’t want to lose Radhika he never expressed his feeling for her. On other end Radhika was confused or looked so. She liked another guy but she had same problem that she couldn't express her feelings for him (other guy).

Ranjan kept his hope alive that one day Radhika would understand his feelings and would start to like him, at the same time Radhika was hoping that the other guy would understand her feelings. Ranjan took the first step and started to give her some indications about his feelings indirectly because he didn’t have any more courage left to face that situation of her rejection. As he expected she told him NO. And here his HOPES end, his dreams shattered.

But Ranjan is not much bothered about this now because it was not new. He understands that there is no way that a beautiful girl will accept an average looking boy. He knows that he doesn’t deserve it. But this time he has decided that he will not fall for someone whom he likes, he will fall for someone who likes him. Although he knows that there is less number of people on this planet, who will like him, but he has kept his HOPE alive, because he knows that it is the only thing that will keep him alive.

Have I Any Choice ??


It was a Sunday evening and I was sitting on one of the wooden bench of my neighborhood park staring at sky. There was something missing and I was trying to remember what it was. I saw few birds returning to their nest after a daylong food hunting mission. I asked myself why they are in the rush to reaching their homes, why they don’t sit on trees and relax for sometimes, and then I realized they had no choice. They had no choice rather than returning to their home. Then I asked myself what choice I have, return to home or struggle to make a home in this strange city. And flashback of my life was showing in front of my eyes like old black and white films.

As many more like me didn't have many choices in life. I came to this city when I had no choice left. Belonging to an average middle class I had no choice rather than come here and start making some money while studying. It was the first time when I realized I had no choice.

I started my classes and fell in love with a girl. I had no choice rather than falling in love with her. But I never know that I was being cheated. When I came to know about that I had no choice to take another way. It was second time when I had no choice.

After this heartbreak, I was started to focusing on my career as I had no choice. Now my parents want that I should be settled and have family with the girl they choose, I have no choice because never want to hurt them.

It is not my story, it is the story of all middle class people, they don’t have choice but they have to compromise with other choices.  For an average Indian boy like me life is all about fulfilling other’s choice rather than having one.
