Life and Love

Army life and young dances...bus rides and unhooked bras...riverfronts and Sidney Sheldon books...boy/girl groups and age differences...dog bites and sweet gestures...playful flirting and valentines...moonlit walks and quiet understanding...cold creams and unsaid feelings...first times and first mistakes...

Hidden crushes and first proposals...soft toys and lucky charms...lost earrings and real love...borrowed roses and chaperoned by mum...poems and kisses...sweet nothings and library corners...little notes and new wallets...skipped tuitions and slow dances...reassurances and holding on...missing pictures and growing up...distances and letting go...

Cute chinks and unrequited attraction...corridor performances and fairytale dreams...yellow kurtas and canteen dinners...confused emotions and double dates...flings and models...dedicated songs and sleepless nights...friendly advice and smoky roofs...immature crushes and misunderstood ways...

Music rooms and birthday gifts...train journeys and bad results...waist chains and cat-eyed stones...car breakdowns and phone breakups...bengali festivals and beautiful saris...missed calls and lost hopes...unsent messages and unresolved issues...efforts and questions...honest confessions and new beginnings...late-night calls and comfortabilities...

Retreated months and pleasant surprises...farewells and hellos...three-day blooms and borrowed rides...iPod dances and black dresses...halted emotions and lonely nights...movie-like love and smiley messages...A Walk to Remember and dark theaters...musical nights and dreamlike caresses...painful heartaches and "I dont want to go"s...final calls and last-second doubts...

New York and a few tears...real promises and real problems...shoulders and blogs...replacements and bystanders...stubborn independence and open arms...cyber tries and drunken admissions...time differences and messenger statuses...ISD calls and "how're you"s...long waits and last times...god-complexes and self-induced complications...heart-breaking acceptances and moving on...

Life and love...
