:) I smile, though inside me it’s still bleeding…:(

Enough of my jokes... Lets have a break for stupidity.. Let's get serious this time... It's all about My life.. And if you find any similarities in this story, its not fictitious but purposefully said. :) I am sure that all of you would have had gone through any of these below stated mental states or feelings in your past or current life..because as you all know, Life is that beautiful.

Yea, life indeed is beautiful or rather mysterious. I have been very ambitious through out my life... But whatever emotional state we are in right now, need not be the same in the next second, and may be this uncertainty makes life more beautiful. I myself had lots of experience in life, where I got excited about a lot of things, thinking - I got what I really wanted in life. But soon after or later, I realized that I am not yet done with that and in the end I ended up in losing everything. Over the years I learnt to believe that, we are not done until unless we believe there is no further living. Let it be anything - no mater whether its friends, job, girlfriend or anything else, it’s all for that moment. As long as we have something, we can say we have, but there is no guarantee about how long we are going to have these in life.

As I talk about friends, I have been a miser when selecting good friends. Though I have lots of friends all around, I look for so many things before selecting my good friends. May be a little bit too weird but I live my life in that way. There been a very few with whom my bandwidth matches or I could go along with. I got a few of them in my life. I took my time to find them and when I found them I felt like, I will never lose them. But life is very funny; it keeps playing its game with us.

There is one of my best friends with whom I had shared all my feelings and now if I need know his news I will have to check with my other friends. At some point of time, I felt he is another extension of my own life. He was more than a younger brother to me. Those were the best moments where I really enjoyed my life in Bangalore. We had very good chemistry between us. I felt very happy and thought I got my friend of lifetime, but now at present he is far away beyond the reach of my mind and body. though it took me 3-4 years to get closer to him, it didn’t take much to go things up side down for the 8 years long friendship. Months back when we were together, I felt we are best friends for ever, but at present, No contact no news, nothing. So that’s life. Gives us a feeling that we are in heaven and in the next moment, it gives the pain which we will feel through out our life. That’s LIFE.

I strongly believe that when we expect too much in life, we lose terribly. As well quoted by Chanakhya, There is always a personal interest in each and every relationship, though many of us deny that. I love my dear ones not expecting anything other than love. For me when we care and love someone sincerely, I expect the same amount of care and love back from them too. Yes, I agree I have been very possessive about my loved ones but that is how life is defined. When we love someone and care for them deep from inside, it hurts double when we don’t get it back. Yea, it is true that each individual is different from one another. But at times I forget this fact, or rather act like I don’t realize it and expect so much. There I forgot the lesson that all are not the same when it comes to expressing their affection and love, though they love us may be more than we do. Most of the times it hurts me a lot, and I cry at times (You might be wondering thinking what a nut case I am, But I am a bit emotional) and it reflects in my every acts. I don’t know why I am like this, but I am like this… I am JITHU… And those who really understand me (they are very less in numberJ), sense it very quickly when there is something wrong.

But trust me, whatever we say; when we love someone and it’s not getting paid, there could be nothing else which is more painful than this. When I say paid, it is not measured in quantity but in quality. As far as in my case when I face such situation, I cry a lot inside my heart…I feel like my inside is bleeding… But I have no complaints… I still smile... because over the past many years I learnt to smile even though inside me is crying.

My life is a big mess now! Kind of heart broken… But learning to get to the reality and new era or living where there is no much place for emotions and sentiments. I have lost so much in the past, and I am still losing, but I still smile though inside me it’s still bleeding… Yea life is moving and so am I.. I don't know where will it end up, but one thing for sure, let anything happen, there would be a smile on my face all the time :)

Merry Xmas!

Jithuuu…Get up…I could hear my mom shouting from kitchen… Its Christmas time… Clock showed 10.30 AM, but I am on my bed, still sleeping. Last day almost spend 3 hours in the late night nearby the club with my friends... Still, I am thinking about my friend’s classmate Anu, who asks about me every time she meets him. Hmm interesting... Or is he playing prank? No, he was very serious when he told me and by the way why should he lie? After all I am young, single and available, and she might be impressed - I tried to convince myself. But still I could not get her outlook in my mind – did I see her already? Is she tall? Is she beautiful? Is she sexy? Etc... Finally I got up from the bed and quickly got ready for breakfast, because the smell of mom’s special chatney and sambar was too tempting!Hmm… finished the breakfast in a hurry and rushed to my friend Rahul’s house, usually he is a funny character… though I told him I don’t trust him, I thought I would ask him the details, because it’s not a simple thing to let go like that… I asked him for her address and phone number... But this time he was very serious (or pretending to be?) - He said I should not spoil his image in front of her because of my stupidity!! How dare he say so...? Bloody jerk! Stupid! Me? How mean? Hmm I controlled my anger because he is my customer this timeL. He said that she will be calling me on 23rd and might ask for a meeting on Xmas day near the church... Oh My God... is she a Christian then, I asked him... Then he shouted like anything all of a sudden talking about value of true love and being passionate and all... I got shocked for a while, because I never seen him getting so emotional like this! Hmm finally even I felt like, we should not love someone considering caste and religion... It should be spontaneous... Mind to mind... Love @ first sight! Wow... I myself felt very much diplomatic!! For the first time in my life (May be the last time) I felt respect towards my friend!). Ok fine I agree, I don’t mind if she is a Christian, after all she is a human that’s enough for me, I told him... He said “hmm wonderful... Now you speak like my friend” – I didn’t understand what he meant by that... But one thing for sure, he wanted me to behave that manner. But still, I couldn’t stop myself asking him that question – is she good looking??? For that he didn’t give me any answer instead he glared at me like an angry bull! Oh man that was really scary. For me that signal was more than enough than an answer… I realized one more lesson – Love is always blind... We should not think about the external beauty. Instead we should see the inner beauty of that person who had a beautiful mind to love!! Wow great!!December – 23rd - I was waiting since morning for her call… even my friends where there with me playing cards but all my concentration was on my mobile… I wished if my friends go for lunch and then I get her call that would be fine, because my friends are really idiots they make hell lots of noise and I might get tensed. And I don’t wanna make my first impression a really bad one! Hmm luckily they all went for lunch at 12. in my room only me and my cell phone! Bingo! At 12.30 there goes my mobile ringing!! As I expected an unknown local number! I took the call with shaking hands...
- “Hello…” - I said. No response. I said again - hello!!
- “Hi Jithu…This is Anu” What a sweet voice, I said in my mind!
- Ohh Rahul told me, that you would be calling me! – I said.
- Yea… he is my classmate. So how are you? – She asked.
- I am Fine!! I am fine!! – I was literally shouting! I felt so proud that I got a friend like rahul!!
- I wanna tell you something, shall we meet on this Xmas night near the church gate? I will be waiting at 12.30 after the prayers – she asked.
- Ohh, why not!! Why not.. But why do you wanna see me?? I asked.
- Answer was a laugh followed by this statement, “Ohh that’s a secret!”
– I asked – have you ever seen me before?
- Yea, I have seen you so many times with Rahul, but somehow could not get the courage to walk up to you and talk. But now I feel like talking to you and meeting you. Do you mind…? She stopped!
- Hey, I don’t mind at all, No problem… I will be there! Was I screaming while saying that?
- Ok then see u on Xmas night! Get me my Xmas cake also –she hung up by saying this!
Yaaahoo!! So I am going to meet her!! Anu!! Doesn’t matter whether she is a Christian or Muslim! She loves me, that’s it!! “JITHU I LOVE YOU” that’s what she is going to say when she meets me- I am very good at women’s psychology! But Am I that too attractive??? – I thought for a while. At around 2PM my friends came back and asked whether I got her call or not? I said whose call? No calls for the last 2 days, get over it guys - why to involve them and get things screwed up? I thought.
On Xmas eve, I bought an almond flavored cream cake (Rupees 350/- L so what, it’s for the girl who loves be blindly right). When my friends called me for the Xmas carol, I told them that I have severe back pain so that I can’t join them: D – See how smart I am! They will go for the carol and will be coming back by around 11.30 and then they would go to the church and there was no chance for them to come anywhere near to the church gate! I went there wearing my new jeans and white shirt, and with that big Almond flavored Cream cake, at around 12.30 I could see someone is coming through the shadows towards the church gate, ohh she is coming, my legs started shivering.. and turned the other side so that I need not have to face her. After 2-3 minutes, somebody, called me from behind, I turned back with lots of expectations… “Hi Annnnn..” I couldn’t complete that because instead of ANU, it’s my X-schoolmate Joseph- who was the mimicry champion in my school. So many things flashed very in my brain – Unusual seriousness of my friend Rahul, gathering of all my crooked friends, Unknown girl named Anu. Things got pretty clear for me! I knew that things goner out of my control, my brain said, RUN JITHU RUN… But before those signals reached my leg muscles, I heard a loud Corus screaming behind me and all of a sudden all my friends, the entire Carol team jumped over me from nowhere in the darkness and taken off my rupees 350/- worth Almond flavored Cream cake!! I never been embarrassed like this ever before in my life, while running back home, I could hear my friends screaming “Jithu Merry Xmas!!”Next day, those @!#$@#$@#$#@ took a piece of cake to my house and gave to me – they all had a wicked smile on their $@#$@#$ faces, I could not say anything because my parents were there and when my dad asked them, why only for Jithu? They replied it is because of Jithu’s sincere hard work got them this Cake!! They wished me and my parents and left. While eating the cake I looked at them and said myself – Merry X’mas!
