''Sometimes I do not get any sleep despite lying on my bed for the whole night. It is like I am reading ten murder mysteries at once, not knowing the murderer in any of them.'' I told her my situation.
''Thatt's horrible. What do you do then?'' She asked in her concerned voice.
''I think of writing a blog post  suggesting Top 100 ways of getting sound sleep.''
''Why can't you be serious about anything?'' she snapped, ''What are you doing to cure your problem?''
''I am waiting for someone to rock my cradle and sing me a lullaby.''

I see the migratory birds flying back to their native towns. I see the mprints of our feet being washed away. The daylight is fading. It's time to depart.
''Why does nothing stay forever?'' I ask her.
''I am sure it gets recorded in the archive of universe somewhere. We can always refer to it in our memories. It doesn't stay the same way as if it does we would never have new memories.''  She explained.
I smiled shortly, but still wondered if she was going to stay by my side for the new memories.
As if reading my thoughts, she held my hand softly.
We held hands and watched the sunset.

What does it mean to meet her after a long while?
In her absence, I used to look at her photos in my mobile phone and touch her face with my fingers to feel her presence.
I used to write short messages to her on the foggy bathroom mirror.
I used to think of great lines I would say to her when we meet.
Presently, she says with a smile,  ''Finally we meet',' and I spontaneously express my heartfelt emotions to her and say, ''Yes, hi.''
''You just don't understand  communication,'' I tell myself.

Arguments are based on logic, yet are most insensible  Facts and other's beliefs are sidelined, and the ego to win an argument comes into foreplay.
Negative emotions like anger and anxiety take over.
When we have an argument, we know that it is not the best thing we involve ourselves in. Sadly, willingness to win an argument is a human tendency tough to resist.
We can be relentless, say harsh things and express our anger.. Shortly, we are at our worst.
Arguments are good that way.. We get to know how bad is our worst. They are an examination to test how much we value each other.  Redemption process is sweet

I scan through my notifications for her Whatsapp message every morning ,and if it is not there, I look at her ''last seen.'
I perform the ritual several times during the day. I often wait a long time for her message, but if you would ask her, she will say that I take a long time in replying. She can disappear for hours, sleep without saying 'goodnight' or leave promptly in the middle of chat, but if I take a few more seconds in replying, I am disqualified.
''Till when are we going to play the game by your rules?'' I ask her.
''Till you like it.'' She replies with a tongue out emoticon

I realise that we have words and expressions for everything but beauty. Splendid, mesmerising, spell bound, out of this world and perhaps my least favourite, speechless. These adjectives are used so often that they have lost their meaning.
I do not think any linguistic has been successful in coining the words to illustrate the beauty of her eyes when she smiles.
Neither can a writer describe it, nor can a painter paint it and nor can an actor imitate it.
We can never praise true beauty. We can only cherish the smile that it brings on our face.

She loves making different hairstyles. I love messing with them.
She ties them in different ways. I love to unknot them.
The only thing more beautiful than a girl's face is a girl's face with hair scattered over it.
''I love loose hair,'' I tell her. ''Why  do girls have them tied up most of the time?''
''Thatt's the only way to manage them. They go in all directions otherwise,.' She explained.
''Thatt's the way they should be. Wandering like a spirit.' I argued coherently.
''Even the spirit has to be disciplined to travel in the right path..  'She won the argument.
