Him and Her

There are 2 kinds of people in this world Him and Her. Her can be further divided into 3,600,000,000 categories, a lot more than the Hindu Gods. The first Him and Her were called Adam and Eve. Mythology (time when men and women could walk naked, and it wasn’t unethical) states Eve ate an apple and then came the birth of humanity. Him was not pleased with this intrusion of his private space. Henceforth, the Hims that followed have always been grabbing every juicy thing they see. Vengeance can be fun. Wink wink.

Centuries have passed, but Him and Her haven’t changed one bit. The following story is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to any Him or Her alive or in love is purely co-incidental.

An excerpt for the famous love story – Joy’s Touching Tales of Wooing Days!!!

Misfortune struck, and Him and Her started working in the same organisation. Foosball tried to get them closer, but be it B.C. or A.D. lovers are always blind. Anyways fate turned its side and both left the organisation. (A year later the agency shut down due to lack of clients. But that has nothing to do with the story.)

The proverb “Distance makes the grow fonder” hardly has any significance in the 21st century. Bloody facebook. (Facebook is the answer to a famous SRK flick song – Kitaabe bahut se padhi hogi tumne, magar koi chehra kya tumne padha hai.......bata mere chehre par kya kya likha hai)

Her quit the organisation and sent Him a request on facebook. That was the prelude to a breathtaking love story. Breathtaking because it lasted as long as a breath.

According to Hindu culture the perfect match is when the guy and girl have 36 common qualities. Him and Her had exactly 3.6 common qualities.

1st – both loved dancing to cheap songs
2nd – loved PJs
3rd – loved PJs by fat people
0.6 – loved each other

The 2 Bongs were so lazy that they didn’t even say the 3 magical words to unlock the relationship code. Instead they went through an easier process known as Mutual Understanding.

It all started with that one evening when Him and Her went to watch a football match at a sports bar. Brazil had to lose. Because, Brazil supporters were too engrossed scoring in their own game, while the Dutch were praying.
Post the football match Him and Her decided to go on a long drive in the haseen wadiya of Gurgaon.

Weird things followed after the long drive. Her dropped Him at the metro station. They kissed each other goodbye. Him went to board the train. Eerie struck. The ticket counter had no tickets. Have you ever heard a metro station running out of tickets? Him hadn’t heard of it either. He waited at the counter. Suddenly his phone rang. It was Her. She was still waiting at the parking. They drove off to Him’s place. Spent the most beautiful/scare/bizarre/romantic yet sleepy night together. All this and yet no one proposed.

A week later Him left the city. They won Love in the same way as an agency wins a pitch. Launch campaign was rocking. Later sloppy attitude often makes the client leave the agency. In fact they fell in love because they knew they will be far from each other. 21st century him and her are very adventurous, LOL. But it was a matter of time when they realised that Mohabbat ke haath kanoon ke haath jitney lambe nahin hotey.

One day they realised, their relationship isn’t happening. They realised it was an outcome of a moment. A moment that was never recreated. A moment that will never be recreated. After all infatuation and love has a difference. Love is based on moments and not one single moment.

So they called it off. And they lived happily ever after.

There’s a difference between I Love You and I am in Love with You. You love friends but you aren’t in love with them.

Johnnie Walked

With curiosity in his mind and an enthused spirit he went on unravelling the veils of future. Little did he know back then, his path will inspire generations. He trotted far away into the profundity of time, into an intoxicating space away from Jeny.
Of course, the woman who walked away.

He knew he was walking towards purity, towards sanity, towards heaven. A man with a broken heart is destined to go towards heaven. Hell is something he had already walked through.

He never thought he could walk so far...........far away from her. But when anger and envy triggers your determination, even the shackles of tear drops can’t sustain you. Not that he didn’t want to get her back. He did. Life does give you a second chance. But, would you want to make the same mistake twice. He just couldn’t trust her. He walked over the stains, but looked back to forgive his footsteps.

He did try. His words couldn’t break her. How can you break something that does not have a heart? He moved on. The thought of family and friends did moisten his eyes. But now that his hands weren’t trying to hold on to something, they wiped the moisture.

Recuperation didn’t cross his mind. One reason why he could walk so far.

Now, he has walked quite a distance. To an unknown vicinity. The atmosphere is so exhilarating that it’s almost like a dream. But he knows he’s not dreaming. Because, every footstep hurts. The pain didn’t close his eyes. The lonesome traveller has walked away from weariness. He knew reality hurts but he wouldn’t rather dream.

Stay awake. Stay alert. Life is too short to make the same mistake twice.

Today he walks alone. Family and friends are nothing but tear drops. He treasures them. He collects it in a barrel. Often drinks it. Every drop, every gravel, the misty future, the darkening past, the bewildered present simply tells him one thing

KEEP WALKING!!!
