The Familiar Season

It's like seasons changing under the sun and the stars - from scorching summer to the delightful spring. It works in a cycle. Just like a dark night hovering over the tiny fireflies and then escaping to the befall of the dawn. It's morning sunshine now, it's melancholic winter afternoon then. We love, we sing, we make faces, we argue, we fight, we start being silent, we make up, we sing, we love again. And this continues throughout days and nights till the sun tells us to stop complaining and the stars, to start dreaming. It's like a complete prose - a wonderful work of fiction that goes on without a beginning and with no intend to come to an end. Can there be anything more fascinating than this? For I have not come across any. That smile, that stare, that silence - everything makes me speak and smile back, to the one I coincidentally met on one confused evening, started talking from stranger to familiar tone, visited one summer morning on an unfamiliarly deserted road, traveled around the noodled hillways with.

Now when I look back and sit for a while to think of him in isolation, I realize that it was never a coincidence. We were meant to happen the way we happened to each other. That there was nothing called an isolation. That he was always there with me, for me, by me. That the seasons will remain same for the times to come. And that, the most familiar season for us together will be the seasons of love.

Clips of Emotions

Clip 1: The Ocean The ocean is calm and quiet. The shades of blue are clearly visible even from afar. The occasional noises are of the speed boats whooshing every now and then along with the sea planes. Finally, I got to be on the swing I have been eyeing since Day 1 of my Maldives trip. A fisherman hunk is busy getting the blue fish that intrigued my curiosity and amazement to the core. He showed me his catch, got 5 big ones so far. The huge cargo ships are the only ones stagnant. And the hunk's impressive hat swung from one corner to the other along with the breeze. Clip 2: The Night I am sitting by the Rasfannu beach again. But it's 9.45 at night. The whole of Male city is a sprawling party site at night. The roads at night are more crowded with much more traffic than during daytime. The speed boats are moving normally even at this odd hour. The barbecue spots by the beach are now occupied with grilled fish. I can smell all of it in the air. The night comes alive with ...

Two Different Faces

As I am about to pen the two different faces, I can clearly visualize them in my mind. Their faces remained very prominent in my heart. These faces belong to two mothers - two very different mothers from different cultures, societies and times. But both faces portray a common entity - the image of a mother. They portray two different worlds, two different extremities. And I respect them with all my heart and soul. The first face is that of a young mother in her late 20s. This was way back in the 1980s. She is my mother. I was maybe around 7 or 8 at that time. We two were on a short trip to my maternal uncle's place. We stayed there for just two days and with a heavy heart I had to accept my mother's decision to return home. Heavy heart because I always liked the idea of visiting my cousins there (they are my favorite cousins after all) and staying with them as long as possible. Any stay there was never enough for us to be done playing with. So my cousins and I would start ...

He: Excerpts from Faded Diary Pages (2)

An autumn afternoon maybe: She has no clue why she feels exactly the same way she used to feel when she felt. Not a thing about it has changed at all. Why would she have this emotional attack every now and then? No, she is not blaming him or anything as such, not even her own self. But she really wants to know why it is how it is right now. It is indeed suffocating something inside her. Is it felt across with the same intensity as well? She needs to know because it can't just happen to her alone, she believes strongly about it. There has to be something mutual. It can't be nothing in vain. She saw an angular picture with a professional camera focusing on something, or someone maybe. She could feel those hands. She could feel the gentle strikes of those fingers. She could feel that touch. She could feel that feeling. Why wouldn't it fade away into oblivion? There is pure negligence and intentional indifference, or maybe natural. Yet that feeling doesn't just die. What w...
