I felt cheated!

Second Experience
I am a person of mistakes and mistakenly I don’t learn from my mistakes. What a mistaken statement I need a psychiatrist is what I keep on telling myself when I analyze the facts of the life versus my standing. Too low for a standing in life. When I look for the consequential theory of why my life is moving low.

Like a person who digs up a grave to make a zombie, I have dug in my own grave and made a zombie out of me. Everyone digs in the past life the dark side. Association with the pain is the passion, and with that passion I am surviving. I have ghastly relationship this term named “Love”.

I always cursed myself for being a complete looser with Love. I was once termed as a play boy. Someone who cannot live without women a complete womanizer. Some of my best friends are girls. For a fact I am happy I don’t swing the other way. I am still attracted to women. There is something in them, it’s like you are working in a honey farm and likes to be stung. The feeling of working in a fire works factory and bursting a cracker with the same excitement.

I like it that way. So here is my Story. I have had over 3 relations in the last 2 years. All of them left me. Why? May be because I am not too good for them, may be because I am not worth it, may be because I pampered them too much or may be because I am a little too possessive. Now again the definition of possessiveness is something which is different for me. For me tightening the leash when required is important. For me telling your partner that I exist is important. For me telling the person you are the only is important. Is this asking for too much? I am sure you must be thinking, “The perfect guy to live with!” may be they had different plans.

Anyways so here I am, having a lovely affair with my love. I am holding her in my arms and looking at the hot day end to a beautiful starry night. The beautiful moon, the cold wind and the very feeling of being close to the loved one. I am enjoying it. 6 months and still going. Every day is like a new beginning, every kiss is like the first kiss, every sigh is like the feeling of being complete. It’s just too good. I am sipping on the wine and thinking whether to ask her to marry me as she is just the right one for me. So I plan it.

I ask her to meet me at the Mirage the next day at around 7pm. I call the hotel and book a presidential suite. I crunch every expense to buy her a ring which enhances her beauty. I get her favorite must burnt on a CD and make arrangements for the best wine available. I get champagne ready and flowers. Off course no date is complete without flowers. It is the second most beautiful thing on earth. The first one is my love off course.

I still remember the 1st time I meet her. We had met through the most imprudent way of communication “Internet”. It was a week of the verbiage exchange and we decided to catch up at Barista. I was worried and was anticipating the fact will she like me? Will she be comfortable with me? Will she like the way I look at her? And countless questions like these. The very fact of disliking forced me in writing a story on my cell phone. Then she opened the door and like the wild storm entered my life. She was smile, she was sunshine, she was star, she was moon, she was the river, she was the lovely breeze, she was the passionate touch. She was the storm full of life which had sparked my life.

She walks in and is excited as though she knows what’s on my mind and gives me the longest hug on earth. I can still feel her heart beating next to mine. She kisses me and I make her sit. She’s holding my hand and says, “So honey you finally realize what I have been waiting for. It’s like a dream come true. Oh god! This has been the best day in my life.” Suddenly I realize things can certainly change and yes there is love for sure.

I smile with a twinkle in my eye and say, “baby I’ve got a gift for you.” She says, “me too!” it was a moment when I felt she could read my mind and it was not only me but she had plans for us. For a moment the “I” and “you” factor dissolved and I could see “we”. I reach my pocket and she reaches her handbag. She takes out an envelope and says I’ve got it honey, I finally got promoted to the level I have always strived for and I shall be moving to Bangalore office very soon. I put the ring back in my pocket and though I had tears in my eyes I smiled and showered my happiness. After all seeing your love happy and taking part in her happiness is the most important part of any relation. So there she goes. She spends most of her left over time with me and I still haven’t asked her to marry me.

So here we are at the airport and I see her happier than ever. Somehow I couldn’t stop myself, though no fancy arrangement and no music and no silence I popped in the question, “Darling, we’ve spent almost 7 months of awesome time and I am somehow getting used to you. I love the way I feel when we’re together. I love your eyes, people say they are small but for me they are full of passion the spark which enhances me every time I look at you, I love your fingers long pointing, I love when you speak with the modulated voice. You know honey above all it’s just about you being around, and that’s what matters the most. We’re so free. Hence I would like to ask you, will you be there to free me for the rest of our lives?” she walks away.

I am hurt and devastated. I should’ve seen it coming I mean it was too early. How could I ignore it? The phone rings it’s her. She apologizes and says, “Darling I am here in Bangalore and I would be back in a year if you can wait.” I found my life back. The assurance was the only thing I needed. I think it was just assurance which had helped me survive. I used to call her everyday. In fact we used to speak for at least three times in a day.

Three times in a day reduced to two times in a week, then to once in a week and then to once in fifteen days. I waited for her to come back and then the time approaches. Just a month left for her to come back. I call her and she ignores my phone calls, then I call again and no one answers. I call her in the night and her phone is busy and that kept on happening……………

My dreams shattered, my hopes crushed and my visions faded. That’s what I felt. A pain so deep that I could not see it coming. A pain so deep that…

Feeling Cheated…

First Experience
“Have you ever realized we’ve spent almost two years of seeing each other? Our first date, the first kiss, the first rain, the long walks, don’t you miss them? Why don’t we have them more often these days? You’ve been really busy these days. Honey! I’ve missed missing you. Now-a-days I’m getting used to your absence.” She was trying to fight back her tears and not be too pushy. She knew he hates all these questions.
”Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy birthday my beloved! I am so sorry love to have missed your calls, and for not have responded to all your messages and emails. It’s just that I have been knee deep in work sweetheart. Sorry darling, I would make sure I make it up to you…” overjoyed she forgot her pain and worries and started again, “honey! You remembered? Oh my god! Thank you baby as ever you are the first one to wish me… I love you!”

The conversation went on for minutes and then hours and then till the break of dawn. They had promised each other to stop fighting and start afresh. A new year, a new life! She had it all planned.
Being sleepless but still excited for her evening date she dragged herself out of the bed to head off to work. On her way she was thrilled to respond to all her messages and calls. In the back of her mind she had him. She was recollecting the conversation they had last night and she felt butterflies in her stomach. The same feeling she had when they met for the first time. A little excited and a lot nervous. She was thinking about their first kiss. The way she enjoyed it and how she wanted more of it, every touch was like a reincarnation...

Back at work she was greeted with her friends and colleagues with bouquets, gifts and hugs. With the same thrill she heads back to her desk and breaths a sigh of relief. She’d never felt this way before. Something was different. They day just seemed so perfect. She had everything organized and was sure about the fact that she would head off for her date at 5pm as planned and then spend the whole night with her love.

She started thinking and fantasizing of what he might have planned. She imagined a nice candle lit dinner. Then thought of flowers and then how they would get cozy. She started blushing coz she remembers how satisfied and how complete she feels when he’s with her.

As the time approaches she starts skipping her heartbeat and the phone rings. It’s her boss. Excited she picks up the phone and the voice on the other end says, “We’ve had a small problem with the Manchester office. Could you speak with Julianne and resolve it for us. I am sure it won’t take more then 3 hours.”

Sad but left with no choice she agrees. She calls him and it’s the answering machine, “Honey! Sorry darling, I would be a little late today. There seems to be some issue going on with Manchester will have to resolve it. Baby could you please delay the arrangements by 3 hours. I should be done by then. Thank you love Bye.”

She tried to concentrate but could not. She forces herself but couldn’t get a solution. Leveraging the opportunity and occasion of her birthday she re-schedules the meetings for the next day and leaves from the office. Thinking of how surprised he would be to see her there. It is fun to give surprises at times! She hurries and reaches his place.

She fixes her hair, puts on his favorite perfume un-creases her dress and knocks. He opens her door. Instead of a smile she had tears in her eyes. Her dreams and hopes came crashing down. Her life ended there. Everything seemed to have faded…
She felt Cheated!

Emptiness




Hello Readers,
This is not a poetry nor a story it is something that we feel deep within us... There is this sudden silence which grips us and we feel so empty. No thoughts to ponder, No words to share, just an emptiness we carry when rest are at play...
This one is dedicated to everyone who have felt the emptiness...
Living single is not as great as the feeling of being free…
No Commitments,
No one to stop you from talking to people,
No one asking you to come home early,
No one telling you to do things their way

Just the thought of it makes me high…

I ask myself are you happy? Do you have everything? Is this what you always wanted?

And then something hits me like a hangover from a last night’s party…
I wake up to the feeling of being alone with a heavy head grabbing a cup of coffee and looking at my bed… EMPTY!

That’s what I feel… empty!

I miss the feeling of being asked,
I miss the feeling of being warm in a long cold night,
I miss the feeling of being secure
I miss missing someone for all that I know…

Now is this better than being free…

I would love to be dominated by a body that I need more than it needs me.
I would love to be awake all night just feeling a sweet pain gripping me.
I would love to be asked where are you going and when are you coming back not with envy or dominant factor but with a need in the voice that is asking me. It says, “You are the only one I have but you have so many”

Is that asking for too much from someone…?
Then why is it that I am still left alone… ?
You can’t share everything with everyone, for this you really need someone who can tell you looking in your eyes that you are the only one.

Fear! Is the response that I get from my mind…
It is telling me you are scared not to get in a relation but get involved and be left once again to be alone…
I keep telling myself how much have I tried to forget my past but as it is said history repeats itself… it keeps coming back… haunting me! Whispering in my ears, "I am coming for you"
Once again the fear grabs me… The thrill of being abused holds me so tight that I grasp for breath… Something keeps pulling me back.

Then you come by with your warm touch and say don’t worry it’s just a bad dream…
It’s all over and hold me close to you…
A sigh of relief so great that I just drop dead…

No one knows your value better than me…
No one knows what you mean to me better than my mind, body and soul which have your name drafted on it…

Tell me where are you? How do I find you…? I need you… Come to me and show yourself.
I wake up again to an empty bed…

Cheers!

Untamed Thoughts

I thought a zillion times on how to start my day,
Somehow the person I hate the most always crossed my way.
Cursed them in heart saying gosh! There goes the black cat again,
It never crossed my mind on which words should I refrain.


I wondered how to grow?
And I said, “By showing all that I know.”
I said to myself forget the hard work lets make it simple in life.
Then reality struck lifestyle has gone too high.

It was so difficult but then I realized hard work pays.
Started singing prayers to leave all the dismay.
I started remembering all that I see when I climb the ladder.
Just in case my luck seems sadder.
So no more black cats and no more demons,
I became a friend of my own creations.

Remember one fact which might take you high.
Always have tequila with one part lime....

Fanatic Psyche!

The first thing I did when I saw Nikhil's mail to join this blog was re-confirm my understanding of the name of this shared blog! 'Fanatic Psyche' - A human mind or soul motivated by irrational enthusiasm!

Ahem!!! Why this name Niks? Was it just about the fancy name or.... And it set it me thinking in various directions -
1) may be he just wanted to make it sound fancy...like I remember I had really struggled to find a fancy name for mine! Infact I remember breaking my brains to make it sound very literary and deep rooted and all! huh!!!

2) is Nikhil planning to make this a mad people place...where crazy people write their thoughts cos there is no other place / person who hears them out! LOL!!! and if this is the case...is Nikhil sure that I am one of such cases? Oouch!!!

3) If Nikhil did approach me in first place...am I really a fanatic? Do I look, sound, behave like one? I am unaware of any such signals being given out by me! Infact I look at myself as someone who is not enthusiastic about regular things in life...leave alone rational. With this background how can I be a 'Fanatic'? No...something is wrong...I'll have to figure out now!

Anyways, hope i find an answer!

Ok wait...hold on!!! I know it! I just wrote a blog on the most irrational thought!!! Name of a blog and the psyche behing that name...

Oh no! Thanks Nikhil...for exposing me to this side of my psyche ;)

I'll be a fanatic and contribute to the joint venture regularly!

Killing Me

Work is killing me and taking my case big time. It’s banging me hard against the merciless wall. It’s slapping me every next moment; It’s hitting me with a whip soaked in salt and chilly powder, the blow of a whip is so devastating that it’s taming a tiger in me who is so reluctant of behaving in an advised manner. Work is making me feel like a punching bag people come and hit me and have there dosage of delightful pleasure. My blood is running swiftly to the head and I can experience my head has now turned into heart, and has started propelling with great intensity. I can feel every nerve wedged packed with blood and ticking every second as if the countdown to a blast. I wish the head to smashes off and with the blood shattered around I am sure it will be a lovely blueprint. The blueprint which will portrait the frustration, so sluggish, so random, so fuming. The aftermath of such an incidence is lying down calmly after the rigorous action. Wow getting f…. is really satisfying.

New Card in Life

I play my life like cards,
Three to go and I bet my life,
I hold no fear of calling a spade a spade.
With shuffles every move gives a new twist to life.
Every card holds a life to me.
Every card has a story to say.
Some black and some red the passion the darkness.
Move and flip them as you need.
Cards thought me to be content and happy with what you hold.
Reshuffling and fitting them right is the secret to win.
Moving them up and down on priority lines.
Helps you decide what you crave and what’s divine.
I keep moving with the moving cards.
Pick them up and decided
I will stay on earth or I shall go to Mars.
Be calm with every card, it yield a lot when given a thought.
Like the latest card in my life.
I reshuffle myself to get adjusted with hoping life.
The card shall surely fit in right.
I shall gather the strength to oppose and fight.
I hold this lovely card and wish to be all in red.
The passion to live life and color my life with passion.
