It has been a few years
and he still feels miserable
when she crosses his mind.
But he still
keeps her in his prayers. đ

Years
A Day Without Spectacles
Thursday, July 2, 08:43,
After travelling for around 1 hours 25 minutes I had reached the place where I had to spend the next 8 hours. It was another routine affair of travelling the same distance and resuming my project work. After deboarding from the bus, I took a walk from the bus stand in the way of public transit and reach the center within 15 minutes of time. I decided to go to cafeteria & take something to eat. As it was slightly hot outside, I ended up taking a cold coffee to drink. đ
With sipping the freeze coffee that tasted great, I reach the upper floor using the staircases. I occupied my workstation and kept my belongings at the place. I took the water bottle out from my bag, and then searched for the specs box that I couldnât find. After searching in all the zips of the bag I got to know that I have forgot to bring my specs. I stood up from the seat and told a close by colleague that I forgot my friend back home. đ In laugh she said, âWhat??â I added, I forgot my glasses. đŠ đ„ Calmly she said, not a problem it happens at times. And with that I spent my half of the Thursday without any vision correctness. Normally, I donât wear my glasses when I am travelling, it has been a habit. I always keep my specs within the box and place it in a specific spot of my bag. And on that very day it didnât happened where it used to be. đ
I am really not blind, – 2.25 prescription only. I worked in the similar environment I was working for over past 15 days. I was aware of the paths to travel on the floor.
From the past 5 years I am wearing glasses and it was second time this had happened. The last time it was okay because I was not doing anything that needed accurate sight. But this time it was about a lot, where did I put my keys? Is that a bug or just a dot? How do I know Iâm not stepping on a nail?
The oddest part for me, though, was not being able to see anybodyâs face as I walked around the floor. As I mentioned, I knew where I needed to go without having to pay attention to the markings. But when it came to people I would walk past and see them and their body language, but their face was a complete blur. Many questions emerged in my mind, are they looking at me? Are they smiling? Frowning? Are they talking to me??
As I previously stated, I don’t wear my glasses while travelling. An incident that occurred with me when travelling in a rapid metro. I was seated in front of a group of girls who all appeared to be friends. I was listening to music and feeling sleepy. đ When you’re not able to see clearly, you tend to look in a direction with strange looks and blinking eyes, and without any reason I was directed towards the group of the girls. One of the girl from the group waved her hands in front of me and indicated in a questioning way! I signed her to wait and I put my glasses on, she started laughing and said I thought you were gazing at me but you’re myopic. đ đ
Having no idea was really weird. I knew that I was looking at them, but could not tell if they were looking back (I assume I freaked a few people out by staring). It made me feel completely disconnected. đ
If you wear glasses, perhaps try it for few hours. đ
Oh… Great
Friday, 19:24
Here, I am standing next to my friend and in front of a girl who this guy likes a lot.
Today, near this fast food corner he has met her after a long time, with a question.. “How are you? and what you doing here? đ “. She replies with a smile on her face, “I’m awesome & just waiting for a friend. How about you?”. With a happiness in his body language, he said “I’m fine, as always! Just here with my friend to get something to eat. đ How about your friend, is the person from your college or school? “. With a shy smile she says, “Actually, He is my school friend & I am meeting him after a long time.” For a second or two he hasn’t said anything, looks down and then again looking at her, says, “School friends are always specially, he must be your good friend.” With an extremely thoughtful smile as if she remembered someone, she speaks, “Yes, he is my best friend & I like him a lot. †” Suddenly her phone rang and after 5 seconds of conversation on phone she said, “time for me to go, will see you next time. Bye!! ” In a low voice he was only able to say, “Oh… Great, take care, Bye! đ ” She turned and started walking away.
As we started the long walk back, he slows down and turns back to see her getting lost in the crowd. In a very less of a time she was out of the picture of our eyes. I put my right hand on his shoulder and without a word being said he turned and started walking.
Throughout their talks, I was a person who was only listening to both of them. I knew about her as this guy has talked a lot about her in past few years. As we were walking back, we did not exchanged a word with each other. He was just moving slowly with some deep breaths and looking into the sky for a while. I know he was not okay.
One thing that I acknowledge was the last words he said that evening, “Oh..Great!”
This “Oh” sounded as if his heart has ripped into millions of pieces. He was not able to speak after that. It appeared as if his throat has choked and only thing he was able to do is, breathe. đ

A Lesson
I’ve learned a lot these past few years,
through my fake smiles & unseen tears,
that friends
sometimes are not forever
&
true love does not always last.
The good memories stay with you but
the good moments go by fast.
But someone will always be there, someone that honestly does care. đ
Age is just a number.. isn’t it?
Age, a number, a division or a calculated digits of how old are you in years, or months, or weeks, or days, or minutes, or even seconds. As per me I think age is just a Label which is attached to every human being.
What I am finding out is that, while age may be just be a number, it is also a label. It labels me as part of a group.
Iâm a child. Iâm a teenager. Iâm an adolescent. Iâm a young adult. Iâm middle aged. Iâm a senior citizen.
My age categorizes and classifies me as something. But is that really what I am? Is that all I am?
Okay, so based upon my age, I actually am a âYoung Adult.â But what does that tell you about who I am? What I believe? How Iâm supposed to behave?
Sometime you express your views in comments and your comment is so deep that the other person guesses that you must be experienced and old guy. And at times your comment is so funny that people think of you as a teenager with bared thoughts. But what you have expressed is a sudden reaction of what you feel for it, which you have put into words.
Its rightly said that some people are old at 18 and some are still young at 90.
Go and try to do what you really like, as age is nothing but just a number.. đ
“How day by day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different”
What does the title line mean?
This is about things moving slowly but relentlessly. A day doesn’t seem very long, but changes do happen. Each day, a little different. A little bit of drift this way or that.
Then, âsuddenlyâ you notice everything is different. Well, itâs been changing the whole time, but you hadn’t noticed until just now. And that is how life tends to come at you.
Consider what has happened in the last year. What about the last decade? Somehow, the changes seem so much greater, donât they? Especially in the active years, from the time youâre out of college until your kids are out of college.
Whether it is the small changes in a town, a tree, your partner, your business, or even in you, there is always a little bit of change.
Time is like a moving sidewalk or an escalator. You donât really notice that youâre moving, except that things around you are changing. Their positions are changing, and you know you must be the one moving, and you have a changing perspective on the world around you.
Time is a very slow moving sidewalk. While there are changes happening all around you, they are so small that they are easily overlooked. But the farther back down the path you look, the more reality differs from your memories. Time has passed, things have changed, as has your perspective.
Beyond that, as time passes, different things become more or less important. The first person you ever had a crush on, would you even admit to it today? Your first true love, how do you feel about that now? Again, looking back, it is way different than it was back then, right?
You may not feel your love today changing, but it is. Will it grow or fade? Youâll know for sure in a few years, perhaps a little sooner, depending on how much changes. But day to day, how can you measure it? That might be something you might want to think about.
Think about this. Change will happen. There is no stopping it. Will it be random, or will you apply some of your own influence to help shape what happens? Life has no guarantees, but if you donât try, you will be at the mercy of random chance. That doesn’t sound good to me.
What will you do to make your life different when you look back on it? All at once, itâs hard. But day by day, change will happen. Is it the change you want, or just something random?
