Is religion so important?? Really?

"Mom, i am off to meet tasneem", shouted divya.

"ok,take care & dont be late beta", replied her mother from the kitchen.

Divya reached the cafe to fine tasneem waiting for her.

"I've been waiting since last 15 mins", tasneem complained.

"sorry sorry sorry,traffic yaar",apologised divya.
"toh kuch hua?", she added.

"nahi re,pata nai kya kare...let him come,phir baat karte hai" said tasneem.

They ordered coffee & sat in silence waiting for vishal,tasneem's boyfriend.
Tasneem belonged to a typical conservative muslim family.Vishal and tasneem were together since school and during college their friendship had blossomed into love.Divya was their classmate and knew them since then.
Tasneem was close to divya. She shared all her problems with her but there was something which divya really had no solution to.

"I know my parents won't allow", cried tasneem.

"try talking to them"

"they 'll kill me"

"what about vishal? Do his parents know?"

"Yes they do,but the problem is from my side", sobbed tasneem uncontrollably.

"dont cry tasneem,everything will be fine. Bhawanji sab thik kar denge.", said divya.
Vishal hugged tasneem and wiped away her tears.

Vishal belonged to the hindu community and they knew they had to go against the society to be together.
But even society didnt matter if their parents were by their side.

Divya could say that the love between tasneem and vishal was not some attraction or lust or infatuation. They werent children after all. It was just love..true love..every time she saw them she saw love. She could see that vishal adored tasneem from the very beginning and she felt the same for him. They were just so adorable. Tasneem loved him a lot...you could see it...vishal troubled her but then again made her smile...the numbness in his eyes when tasneem cried..anyone could feel it.
They chatted for an hour but couldnt find any solution.
Divya wanted to help them but didnt know how. They decided to meet again the next day.

This made her doubt herself if she was really proud to belong to a country which showed off its diversity and fake unity.

Every religion says "love one another". Then why is that when the love is for a person of another religion it turns into hatred? Why?

Tasneem and vishal were together but they didnt know till when. And everytime divya met them she couldnt help but admire the mature understanding between them.

Divya returned home. She was troubled.

"what happened divya? U look worried!",asked her mother.

"mamma,is religion the most imp. thing in the world?",she asked keeping her head on her mother's lap.

"no beta,their are many things above that also. But what made you ask this?"

"you know tasneem's boyfriend is hindu.they really love each other,but they are afraid their parents wont accept it", said divya.

"you have grown up divya. You should understand,we live in a society and we have to go with it"

"but arent we the ones who make the society mamma?"

"yes beta..but.."

"but what? Why do people keep searching reasons to fight? Its just love. Thats not a bad thing na?",asked divya.
"they even thought of getting separated so as not to hurt their parents. If they can take so mature decisions,why cant their parents do the same?"

"shut up Divya! Their parents have brought them up! They go to work everyday so that their children can live comfortably",scolded her mother.

"sorry ma,but if they didnt have children wouldnt they have done it for themselves too? What are they afraid of? Dont they want to see their children to be with someone who loves them the same way they do?"

"i dont know divya. You just stay away from it"

"no ma! I 'll help them.
You also fell in love with dad and then got married. What if this would 've happened to you? Would you have said the same?",divya revolted in anger and turned away to the other side of her bed.

"divya...!"

"goodnight ma,please go".

"What problem does everyone have if there's a little more love in this world? I hate the people who do this,even the parents,how can they do this to their children.everyone has a right to live their life,with the people they love. Its really unfair.
Has religion attained a more important position than love & humanity?
It wasnt their fault they fell in love.
It wasnt their fault they were born in families which followed different religions.
It wasnt!"

"If there is really a God above,its just because he wanted it to happen!
Why cant they just accept it that way?"

Divya was left thinking...

A lonely heart

Today i sat by my window,
thinking,
thinking of us,
thinking about us,
trying to answer my own questions inside my head.

Looking at myself on the mirror,
i wonder,
"why am i doing this myself?"
"why am i doing this to him?"
he says we have no future,
& i know its true....
But why did i never think of that?
Was it because I didn't care about the future?
But i did.....i just wanted to be with him.....

Cant we just stay with each other till the moment time allows?? Because i dont want to lose you now for tomorrow...for something which no one has ever seen....

Why is it like someone has punched me hard on my chest??
Why this pain??
Why this heavy feeling??
Why this hopelessness?

I crossed my own limitations for him,
& he says it shouldnt matter! Really?
Arent we in it together? I thought we were..we are....

Is loving anyone more than everything and anything wrong??
I do love you...a lot...a lot...

If i have ignored some incidents,
some mistakes,
brought out stupid reasons so as not to make you feel guilty,
it wasnt to make you lose my value...
If i begged you to stay, it wasnt to lose my self-respect....
It was to save our relation....to save US...

It was for the reason that i didnt want to lose you.....


Its all because the only thing i ever wanted from you was love....little bit of love....

I love you....please dont go........

Drugs

Beauty was at its edge. Beautiful'' this was all that could be said about her. Anybody would fall in love with her at the very first sight.....n so did I. With her in life, any man's life would be heaven...........but when she was brought in, her condition was very critical, gasping for breath, with half open eyes all she said was ''I dont wanna die....I dont wanna die.....plzz save me !!''
I docs rushed her to the ICU.......27 mins''....xactly 27 mins......she was brought out.......the simplicity still on her face, still as beautiful as ever.......but.....she was not breathing....she was no more........

EMPTINESS

all love of mine....
with a song and a wine....
U r harsh n divine.....
like truths n a life....
but the tale ends not here.....
I have nothing to fear....for my love is yell of giving n hold on....
in the bright emptiness....
in the room full of it....
is a cruel mistress...
I feel this sunrest.....
that nest all hollowness...
for I have nowhere to go....n I'm cold....
n I feel so lonely.....
there's a better place than this emptiness....

Saviour...

She came home from school, wanting to end her life. Her boyfriend broke up with her, she failed almost every subject, and she faught with the whole group. She questioned the point of life...was there one? The only thing she had on her mind while taking a knife out of the kitchen was her best friend. If seemed unfair to her, leaving him alone. He needed her, and most important...she needed him. She was in love...she only had this boyfriend so he would never find out she loved him. That's what scared her even more. So she decided to write him a letter before she would commit suicide. She told him how much she loved him, and she told him to go on. She was unlucky and had to end it all. But he shouldn't stop believing in the power of love. As they say, hope is what goes last. And since her hope is gone, there's no point for her to live.


She put the letter in an envelope and send it off. For she didn't know it'd reach him, in two hours and a half. He came back from soccer practice, and looked on his desk. There was an envelope on it, he didn't even turned it over, he ran fast to the phone. He dailed her number, hoping she was home. She had the knife over her wrist. She was about to cut it open, but then the phone rang. She didn't think 'bout picking up, but the phone rang and she thought it might be her love...her best friend...her everything. She went to the phone and picked up. She melted away by listening to his voice:


I love you, I'm really sorry this comes so late. I was too scared telling you and risking our bond. You are my everything, I don't want to lose you. I got your letter, I haven't opened it yet. But I felt like I have to call you, and tell you I love you. I always have, and I always will.


She didn't tell him he rescued her life that night...

Goodbyes!

She's a girl with a story,
but no one needs to hear.

It's not the way of missing trust,
it's a matter of fear.

She takes one step back from U,
can't look you in d eyes.

She does'nt blame you for hating her,
she just hates GOODBYES.

She doesn't try to tell you,
the things she wants 2 show...

'Coz she knows the end is coming,
next year we 'll all go!

She's hating goodbyes,
doesn't want to lose a strong part,
like she lost her stable health!!

she dosn't want to tell her story,you see it in hr eyes...

She doesn't say she loves you,
'Coz she doesn't like GOODBYES...

She is hoping she will meet you up in heaven...
'Coz she hates GOODBYES...
