<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Red smeared lips, red nails, porcelain body,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Stood still as stone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Her naked shining skin was draped with paper,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Under the blaring blue halogens.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Her skin trembled under the crumbling crispness.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The paper sheathed her naked soul with value.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Flashlights…darkness…smeared smiles,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Every inch of her papered skin pinched him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">His staunch stare pierced her papered soul,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">He burnt inside throwing precious paper at her, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">To possess a small share of her already sold soul.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Listen to the song here: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py_-3di1yx0">Ride by Lana Del Ray</a><br /><br />I was in the winter of my life, and the men I met along the road were my only summer.<br />At night I fell asleep with visions of myself, dancing and laughing and crying with them.<br />Three years down the line of being on an endless world tour, and my memories of them were the only things that sustained me, and my only real happy times.<br />I was a singer - not a very popular one,<br />I once had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet, but upon an unfortunate series of events saw those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky that I wished on over and over again, sparkling and broken.<br />But I didn't really mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted, and then losing it to know what true freedom is.<br />When the people I used to know found out what I had been doing, how I'd been living, they asked me why - but there's no use in talking to people who have home.<br />They have no idea what it's like to seek safety in other people - for home to be wherever you lay your head.<br />I was always an unusual girl.<br />My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean...<br />And if I said I didn't plan for it to turn out this way I'd be lying...<br />Because I was born to be the other woman.<br />Who belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone.<br />Who had nothing, who wanted everything, with a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn't even talk about it, and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me.<br /><br />I've been out on that open road<br />You can be my full time daddy,<br />White and gold<br />Singing blues has been getting old<br />You can be my full time baby,<br />Hot or cold<br /><br />Don't break me down<br />I've been travelin' too long<br />I've been trying too hard<br />With one pretty song<br /><br />I hear the birds on the summer breeze,<br />I drive fast, I am alone in the night<br />Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble,<br />but I, I've got a war in my mind<br />So, I just ride, just ride,<br />I just ride, just ride<br /><br />Dying young and I'm playing hard<br />That's the way my father made his life an art<br />Drink all day and we talk 'til dark<br />That's the way the road dogs do it – ride 'til dark.<br /><br />Don't leave me now<br />Don't say good bye<br />Don't turn around<br />Leave me high and dry<br /><br />I hear the birds on the summer breeze,<br />I drive fast, I am alone in the night<br />Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble,<br />but I, I've got a war in my mind<br />I just ride, just ride,<br />I just ride, just ride<br /><br />I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy<br />I'm tired of driving 'til I see stars in my eyes<br />It's all I've got to keep myself sane, baby<br />So I just ride, I just ride<br /><br />I hear the birds on the summer breeze,<br />I drive fast, I am alone in the night<br />Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble,<br />but I, I've got a war in my mind<br />I just ride, just ride,<br />I just ride, I just ride<br /><br />[Music video spoken ending:]<br />Every night I used to pray that I’d find my people, and finally I did on the open road.<br />We had nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing we desired anymore, except to make our lives into a work of art.<br />Live fast. Die young. Be wild. And have fun.<br />I believe in the country America used to be.<br />I believe in the person I want to become.<br />I believe in the freedom of the open road.<br />And my motto is the same as ever:<br />"I believe in the kindness of strangers. And when I’m at war with myself I ride, I just ride."<br />Who are you?<br />Are you in touch with all of your darkest fantasies?<br />Have you created a life for yourself where you can experience them?<br />I have. I am fucking crazy.<br />But I am free.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Sometimes you find expression of your feelings in the world and words of others. Grey's Anatomy is definitely one of them. Compiling some of my favorite lines from the sitcom. Its a must watch.<br /><br /><i>They say death is hardest on the living. It’s tough to actually say goodbye. Sometimes it’s impossible. You never really stop feeling the loss. It’s what makes things so bittersweet. We leave little bits of ourselves behind, little reminders, a lifetime of memories, photos, trinkets, things to remember us by… even when we’re gone.</i></span><br />
<div>
<i style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Meredith Grey - ‘Going Going Gone’</b></i></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /><i>There’s a reason I said I’d be happy alone. It wasn’t ‘cause I thought I’d be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It’s easier to be alone. Because what if you learn that you need love and then you don’t have it? What if you like it and lean on it? What if you shape your life around it and then it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It’s like dying. The only difference is death ends. This? It could go on forever. </i></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><b>Meredith Grey - ‘Unaccompanied Minor'</b></i><br /><br /><i>It’s one of those things people say. ‘You can’t move on until you let go of the past.’ Letting go is the easy part, it’s the moving on that’s painful. So sometimes we fight it, trying to keep things the same. Things can’t stay the same though. At some point you just have to let it go. Move on. Because no matter how painful it is, it’s the only way we grow. </i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><b>Meredith Grey - ‘The Girl With No Name’ </b></i><br /><br /> <i>Under the cover of darkness, people do things they’d never do under the harsh glare of day. Decisions feel wiser, people feel bolder. But when the sun rises, you have to take responsibility for what you did in the dark and face yourself under the cold, harsh light of day. </i></span></div>
<div>
<i style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Meredith Grey - ‘Something’s Gotta Give’</b></i></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /><i>What’s worse, new wounds which are so horribly painful or old wounds that should’ve healed years ago and never did? Maybe our old wounds teach us something. They remind us where we’ve been and what we’ve overcome. They teach us lessons about what to avoid in the future. That’s what we like to think. But that’s not the way it is, is it? Some things we just have to learn over and over and over again. </i></span></div>
<div>
<i style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Meredith Grey - ‘Scars & Souvenirs’</b></i><br />
<i style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br /></b></i></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>The people who suffer the most are those who don’t know what they want. </i></span></div>
<div>
<i style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Meredith Grey, Grey’s Anatomy</b></i></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /><i>There don’t have to be harps playing or birds singing or pose petals falling from the sky… And there are definitely days when the romance is dead. But if you look around, things are pretty amazing. So stop for a second. Enjoy the beauty. Feel the magic. Drink it in. ‘Cause it won’t last forever. The romance will fade. Things will happen. People will change. Love will die. But… maybe not today.</i></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i> </i></span></div>
<div>
<i style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Meredith Grey - ‘Love Turns You Upside Down’ </b></i></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Its good to be scared; it still means you have something to loose.</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br />The truth, and reality, hurts. So we lie.. to everyone, but especially to ourselves.</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br />Time flies. Time waits for no man. Time heals all wounds. All any of us wants is more time. Time to stand up. Time to grow up. Time to let go. Time.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>It can be scary to find out you’ve been wrong about something. But we can’t be afraid to change our minds, to accept that things are different, that they’ll never be the same, for better or for worse. We have to be willing to give up what we used to believe. The more we’re willing to accept what is and not what we thought, we’ll find ourselves exactly where we belong. </i></span></div>

<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">She found his notes in her old house located in the old narrow gullies of Kolkata. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">An old moth eaten black diary of yellow pages and blue fountain ink pen scribbles.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The pages had become yellow with time. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">It was a black leather diary dated 1953 gifted by Mansfield Oil Gas Company </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">located </span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">on Radhanath Choudhury Road. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">He spent his growing years in these </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">lanes, in the middle of large open wooden windows </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">with sunlight seeping into </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">rooms, before he moved into a flat of sliding glass windows </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">giving him a view of the </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">city, from an elevation, only the very few could afford. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">24 days to Higher Secondary Examination…all his notes were about the sections</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">of science subjects he had to finish written to fractional details…</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Chemistry (1/4 completed)</i></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Physics (1/8 completed)</i></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Biology (1/2 completed)</i></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Mathematics ( 'hoye jabe' meaning not a problem</i>)</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">There were references of him hating Organic Chemistry and loving Mathematics.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">He was a Maths scholar and loved numbers and she could see how painstakingly he </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">stored scores of cricket matches of England vs West Indies deciphered from the strict </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">British diction of the BBC Radio Channel.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Geeks are not nerds. </i></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">As she unfolded the pages she saw how his heavy baritone wooed women on All </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">India Radio while playing black circular records from Beethoven to </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Beatles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Like all other boys his age, he pretended he did not smoke at home </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">and gave excuses of eating spicy hakka noodles in cheap chinese stalls opposite </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">National Medical College. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This was 1953. Almost 60 years ago from now. Poetry was considered to be written </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">by girls and not boys. She found scribbly lines of poetry scrawled across the gutter space </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">of organic chemistry and calculus problem columns.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">60 years later, no wonder his daughter fell in love with a geek unknowingly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Surprised to </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">find a new side to a geeks world, she always knew geeks were wonderful and in ways </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">she was a geek herself.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The dictionary definition of a geek brings forward a person who is extremely focussed </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">on academics and sometimes they are ridiculed as people who hate participating in </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">extra curricular activities. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>She wondered who created such definitions and how definitions were used as a measure </i></span><i style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">for constant explanations or a bench mark for understanding.</i></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Geeks are as human as non-geeks. </i></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In fact differentiating and humiliating them is foolish </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">enough. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The Geek showed her that if we all are geeky about what we do </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">and no matter what it is…</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">then these terms and definitions will slowly erase into oblivion.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Its been strange that for the past few months I have not been able to write. Not that I have not tried. But every single time I would try to write something, there were a thousand thoughts in the head that fought for expression and I just could not choose what to write first. Even the last two posts were found in lost pages written long ago. But today I read these lines posted by a wonderful woman, a very dear professor. Now I know the reason why I could not write. Today first time on this blog, I write lines that have not been composed by me but the thoughts that these lines express are exactly similar to what I feel at the moment. 2 paragraphs of lines written by others that hopefully will make me breathe again. I had stopped breathing. Hopefully these lines will let you breathe, again, too.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The door was half open,</span></span><br />
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">From the partial openness,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I noticed her bags and packed cartons on the floor,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Neatly labelled with black bold markers,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">From Hostel Room 303 to Flat 17D, </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">On orange post -it notes and brown tape.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The packers were coming in five minutes,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She looked lost among the cartons,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She stared at her phone,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">While I stared at her,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Tetris, calendar and the calculator applications on her Nokia E-71</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Were over-used. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She still played tetris when she felt lost. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She wanted a smoke,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Marlboro lights.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But she chucked the pack last night,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Into the River Sabarmati flowing in darkness,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Right outside her dusty brown balcony,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Filled with the rivers sands. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She was leaving,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She was getting lost in society,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She was fulfilling her social obligations.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She had a reserve in the grey groove,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Of her Nike backpack, </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Stung with badges collected from all over the world.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I hated her to break her promise,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But I loved to see her smoke,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Of how she pretended to take the nicotine in its entirety,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But almost choked before she released most of the smoke.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But today she was different,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She rolled it herself in a marlboro light,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It helped to ease the pain,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Of tolerating me for 2 years.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She stared at me from the half opened door,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She wanted to stay,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But she also wanted to flee,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She stared at me constantly,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For the last week,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As if her eyes wanted to store my every movement,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In a polaroid snapshot.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She loved me,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She left because she fell madly in love with me.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">She decided not to come back</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Because Alexander Super Tramp inspired her stupid soul</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">With his last words…</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What if I was smiling and running into your arms,</span></i></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Would you see then what I see now?</span></i></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The packers took her belongings away one by one,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As she descended from the cemented stairs,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I stood still like concrete on the striped mattress of her room,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I could not bid her good bye.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The synapses asked for consultation,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Stopping her would be more painful,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Than letting her go.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I thought so then,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But was it vice-versa?</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Questions have weird textures.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">All questions don't have answers.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And do answers change with time?</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Time infects context.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It creates and clears doubt.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I wanted time to help me,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But I fell in love with time,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">More than her.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So I let her leave,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Leave me with her shadows,</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Intermingled with time.</span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Clicked secretly and cropped at friends get togethers,</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And birthday parties.</span></div>

Well today baba said something very important to me as he got down to the topic of marriages, something that I have been dreadfully avoiding being a designer. Being in control of my own spaces and own choices and suddenly thinking about adjustments gave me a sudden nauseating feeling of giving up.<br />
<br />
But baba said this, when you really love you will know what you are doing. It will not feel like sacrifice. He said the biggest fear in his life would be to leave my ma behind to live a life by herself. I do not think she will be able to bear the loneliness because she loves him so much, so he would want <i>her</i> to go first knocking on heavens door.<br />
<br />
I sometimes wonder do our generations have the capacity to love each other so purely. Can they love each other without expectations. Can they love each other with the feeling of not knowing? Can they sacrifice their love for each other? Can they actually understand love?<br />
