no one wants to break a man’s heart, especially when he’s heartbroken. and i was young - i liked the idea of seeing her. a woman who can do this to a man has got to be something.
so i say, sure thing, whatever you say.
he lights up his cigarette and i light up mine and we lie down on the wet grass. i never did lie down like that ever again.
now i look back and realise, you don’t need to be in love to feel that. you just need someone else to be in love; you need a lazy evening and you need a sense of humour. and, if the time is right, rain.
i looked for it many times after,
but i never did lie down like that ever again.

This writing is fantastic! Mysterious, and yet very precise at the same time.
Hi, Arvind, this has nothing with your blog here. i have a feeling that we studied together in PT Sachdeva.sorry..dont have your email id..so had to rely on this blog to get in touch with you. Remember a guy from Giridih,Jharkhand. I have been to your place in Pandara Road so many times. Here's is my email id arnab.paul.09@aberdeen.ac.uk and arnabpaul_usa@yahoo.com. We have moved on but i have always tried to get in touch with you but in vain. I still remember your poetry "Solitude" and your warm endearing smile.. please get back in touch..
