We were just a collection of atoms,
who came together for a brief period,
and then fell apart. 🙂

but, it wasn’t her.
He realized that it has been very long

but she still persist in him. 😐

but deep down I wanted you to be. 🙂

“Where is your girlfriend?”, She asked.
“Very far”, He replied.
“Is it a long distance?”, She asked.
“You can call it a long distance”,
He said while staring at the sky.

Summer 2014
If the summer of 2014 felt unusually warm to you, you were right – at least on a global level. LA Times made it official that Summer 2014 was hottest on record. It was not so in India, surely in the northern part. The Summer has passed very quickly and so do September, I feel like its been just 3 minutes when September started but it is almost over.
Summer is explained very well by by saying it as, summer .. when.. hair gets lighter, skin gets darker, water gets warmer, drinks get colder,music gets louder, nights get longer, life gets better.
For me the end of summer is less depressing because I have no more money to enjoy summer 😀 . I read this line.. ‘Life is like a flower you have to enjoy its beauty before summer ends’. I read this line when summer was about to start this year.
Leaving you with one of the song from the Band Green Day.
Hope you had a wonderful summer and you’re ready to have a blast in the upcoming winter.. 🙂
