We have discussed and witnessed a lot of hate, enmity, competition, and other things. Love is the only thing that can surpass all other feelings. I find it fascinating and awe-inspiring how love is a universal internal desire that we all share, yet we also express it in so many different ways. Have you ever wondered why you secretly enjoy Christmas movies or romantic comedies? — because we all long for a happy ending, and knowing that there will be one brings us a lot of comfort. The formula for life can be anything and can vary, but I’ve realized that everyone wants to be loved and loved well.

Love is undefinable — we are try to put in different boxes of our choices in that particular moment. It also varies as we grow. I didn’t get a time to write a lot since last few months, so I thought I will write about experiences which I have seen around. Trying to wrap my head around all of it, it sounds very silly, but such silly and tiny moments bring immense comfort, and peace to your heart. If you haven’t felt it yet, I hope one day you do.

Picture from Google — but heart want exactly this ❤

/ You went back home, and realised I was supposed to have medicine later in the night. You pinged me, ‘ Hey, did you have medicine?’, I say , ‘Nope, I forgot’. He says, ‘You are stupid, go and have it now’. Both smiles on both sides of smartphone.

/ We are supposed to meet at 8 PM in then night. I’m all excited and decked up to meet him. Today I mark myself that I will be on time. I try to wrap my work and daily chores. With a puppy face, I text him like always, ‘ Hey I will be late by 15 minutes’. He says , ‘It’s okay. I will wait’. I grin like a kid, and danced in the room.

/ He comes back from work. All he could do is just take a nap. He checks his mobile, there is a pop up message which says, ‘ you are the best thing that has happened to me’. He sends a heart, and sleeps peacefully.

/ He is waiting in the cafe. The girl is late, as she is coming from office. As soon as she informed him that she has arrived. The guy who is madly in love comes at the entrance, and all she sees is the very big smile on his face. She blushes, and walks inside the cafe along with him.

/ The “typing..” alert on their chat box, gives you goosebumps every time! You wait like a kiddo, as if you are going to get a candy out of it. Sweet love lasts for sweet period of time.

/ Forgiving each other without an inch of thought as both of you are excited to meet each other, and enjoy every moment of it.

/ On a long drive at 3 AM in the night, holding each other hand in silence. There is a moon right in the front of you, and you both look at each other — smile at each other like fool. Fools are falling love, and they don’t even know about it yet

Intimacy in little things ❤

/ Love in isolation — you decided to have ‘Jack Daniels’ because you know she loves it. You want to taste every possible thing she loves.

/ Her cheeks flushed pink , when he says, ‘ Try harder but I will never let you go’. She says, ‘ But what if you do.’ He says, ‘ Not going to happen! Am I fool?’

/ In between the days, you are strolling at the corridor of your office. You smile like an idiot, your friends ask you, ‘ What happened? All good?’ , You just try to hide your smile, and you know why are you smiling! Stupid things we do when we are in love.

Despite all the things which breaks you apart. Despite every other possible heartbreaks. Despite all other dark stories of self, and others. We all hope for new love to arrive in our lives. We all hope our lives to filled with sunshine of happiness, love, and warmth. Love wins every possible thing. Love doesn’t necessary stems from big tragedies, but love also exists in daily mundane things you do on day to day basis. Simplicity is loving of someone with all your heart in this chaotic world is a blessing itself.

“tum, mei aur woh chai ka chup baarish ki mausam mei” — ek baar phir hojaye?
