#Einstestine
Our protaganist was abducted and tied to a chair in a dark closed room But he is not alone, there is a man infront of him bounded to a chair surrounded by 10 different sized candles. The man keep staring at our protaganist for two whole days without blinking while keeping a smile on his face. For the first 5 hours his eyes started bleeding and on the end of the 2nd day his eyes turned black while blood keep oozing out of them. Our protaganist was freed from his binds but when he observed the man he got the chills of his life

DEAR READER,
Hello, I am Chipku. I am a diary, a personal diary of a girl named Ara. I have all her secrets hidden within me. But it's time for some secrets to be revealed. I am here to tell you an incident, a memory of Ara. She's no more now, but her experiences and stories are definitely going to excite you, and if you're bored then you must read it. So tie your belts, get some popcorn ready and let's start the journey.
BEFORE YOU READ
I am going to recite the story and I am just the narrator, what Ara wrote in me is going to be the same. So let's begin.
________________________________________
It is 4th of August, 2019 and Ara has finally turned 14. Every year she waits for her birthday to come. She loves distributing sweets to her classmates. But this year, it's different for her. She is not excited about distributing sweets, she is not excited for her birthday. She is just curious about certain things. She is quite happy too, her fellow poets made her birthday special. I know how much special is Writer's Block and it's people for her. Writer's block is like her second home. She joined it one year ago, when she started writing poems. Ara can spent her whole day on this app. Each day passes and she is becoming curious. She spends her whole day reading or writing poems. She has changed now. But it's a better change. She has become fun, loving, and caring.
Months have passed and everything's the same. She wakes up, gets ready, goes to school, comes home, does her assignments, and again writes to me. I wait everyday that today she is going to come and tell me something new, but everyday it's almost the same. I am bit tired now, listening to the same things.
Today is 15th of November. Today, Ara seems very curious and a bit sad too. She has lots of things going in her mind. I am excited for what's she is going to tell me today. There's a different look on her face. And here she comes to tell me about her day. Let's see what she has to tell me..

FRIDAY, 9pm 15.11.2019
Hi Chipku,
Today was a good day. It was Games period and everyone of us gathered and we were discussing about many things. We started talking about best friends. Some were telling that a boy and a girl can be best friends, but some were telling a boy and a girl can't be best friends. I was really confused. I never had a friend who is a boy other than James. James is my best friend but he has fallen in love with me. I have started distancing myself from him. I just consider him my best friend but how can he love me. It's not done, but I can't even control his feelings. When they asked me, my opinion about best friends, I told them, "A boy and a girl can never be best friends." But I am curious, how can others say that they are best friends with the opposite gender. I don't understand the fact that you talk to someone for hours and hours and how is it possible that you don't feel for them. And it's weird to be in love. How can someone fall in love with a best friend? I hate James. I don't want to talk to him. And Chipku, you know I hate love, I hate falling in love. Love is nothing and just look at me, I am just 14. This is not the age of love. Love is all fake. You tell me Chipku, what do you think?
Yours ARA.
Well, it's been years I know Ara and she's never interested in love. She doesn't believe in love. I wonder what is going to be her reaction when she falls in love with someone. In a way, she is doing good, she is staying away from love, because love is really difficult. But she must not distance herself from James, it's not even his fault. Love just happens. She is annoyed with James. She is unable to sleep, she is thinking that James has betrayed their friendship by falling in love with her.
Next morning, she wakes up, she is still angry. And look, James has come to meet her. It seems she will just squeeze his neck. And look, they started fighting.

Ara, as always fights in her poetic way,
"Would remain best friends forever
Will fall in love never
That was what we said
Why now commitments got dead"
And James, he is clarifying himself,
"Happens itself
Not my fault
Easy to fall
Hard to overcome
Now shall I dig my vault?"
Ara
"Love is fake
It's all about a heartbreak
Fall for it
And you gonna face shit"
James
"Not every lover is fake
Dear Ara stay awake
Love can't be controlled
It's none of my mistake"
Ara
"Not your fault,
Then is it mine?
You have caused
Our friendship to decline"
And the fight continued for hours and hours. Ara told James to never talk to her and to end the friendship. Even James,in anger told the same thing and walked away. She is sad. She is crying. She doesn't wants to lose him but she hates love too. I don't know what she is going to tell me today. She didn't even eat her lunch, nor her dinner. Whole day she was sitting near the window looking outside.
She is coming towards me, and let's see what she has to say today.
Saturday, 11pm. 16.11.2019
Chipku,
How horrible my day was! I fought with James. And we are no more friends. I hate love, he's just a best friend and will never be more than that. I didn't tell him to love me. I didn't do anything. Why did he fall in love? We promised we would never fall in love, and stay single forever. He betrayed our friendship. I don't even want to talk to him. I don't have any feelings for him. I always considered him my best friend. We laughed, we fought, we had fun, how did love come from? I am very pissed off, I don't want to see his face. I told him, I am never going to meet him, I am never going to talk to him. Chipku, he doesn't understands that love is a fake thing. It destroys everything. I wish he understands one day. Good night.
Ara.

#review #snehu
Ara doesn't really knows what is true love. For her, love is only about heartbreak and it's fake. I wish she meets a person who makes her realise what's love. She is childish. She is immatured. I guess when she falls in love, she will realise what she did with James was wrong. I wish and I hope so.
Days are passing and Ara is still sad. To distract herself, whole day she is busy scrolling Writer's Block. It's 21st of November today, she seems happy, there's a smile on her face, she is texting someone, she is chatting with someone. Is it James? Or someone else? I am excited to know. What the hell, she didn't write to me today. She is still chatting with the person. It's been 4 hours. Still, she is chatting. It's been 7 hours now, finally she kept her phone and look madam is here to tell me about her day.
Thursday, 11:30pm. 21.11.2019
Hiii Chipku,
How are you? I know you're fine as I am also fine. Today I met a new person on Writer's Block, it's a boy, his name is Paul. It's so much fun to talk to him. We have so many similarities. He likes reading, he is fun like me, he is talkative like me. He loves science. He is a mysterious person too. His username is quite mysterious. It's just we met today and we have started talking a lot. He is so good. I can't even describe him. He's one year elder to me. I even didn't realise when 7 hours passed. I just wanted to have conversations with him. We have even become good friends. He writes so well. And, do you know something, he has also read the book, "The Alchemist". I am reading it now, and he told me about the story. He's a bookworm like me. Thinking about him, I just want to smile. Oh my God, he's a sweetheart. Well well, it's late night, I am going to sleep. Good night.
Ara.
Am I dreaming? Ara is so happy after so many days. The way she was describing the guy, oh yes, Paul, I felt she is in love with him. But she hates love, will she ever admit that she's in love? I maybe wrong. Glad to see her happy. She is smiling, thinking of him. And the guy, the way she described him, I am excited to know more about him.

And now everyday, she talks to him for hours and hours and she tells me about her day. Not actually about her day, I guess her day, her night, everything is now about him. She has given him a nickname too. She calls him Mr Sweetu. Both of them have started sharing secrets with each other. Ara, who never shared about James proposal to anyone, shared it with Paul. I guess my girl is falling in love. And Paul, he is sharing everything with her. He shared the mystery of his name, he shared about his past. Something is being cooked between them. But today I am sure that Ara is in love with him. Today she wrote her feelings, she is not able to realise it's love but I know, I know my girl is in love. But will she accept it? Look what she has told me.
Wednesday, 11:15. 11.12.2019
Chipku,
Hi, hello. I am so happy. He wrote an email to me. And I just want to read it again and again. He tells me, time is in search of me, if not time, then he's in search of me. This words are like heaven to me. I got butterflies in my stomach while reading the email. I received the email at 10:41pm and I replied as fast as I could. It's been 2- 3 days, we didn't talk much, I am attending a wedding, so a bit busy. I am missing him so much. He has shared all his secrets with me. We don't need topics to talk about. Topics arise itself. He's even started flirting sometimes. We have become best friends. Not best but bestest of friends. Well I need to talk to him, bye bye.
Ara.
I am surprised, happily surprised, she's giving importance to someone over me. I know she's in love. I just wish everything happens good. They talk for hours and hours and just because they didn't talk for some days, they have started writing emails or shall I call it love letters. Today is 13th December and today's email was lit. Ara told Paul that he's been a part of her life without whom she cannot live. And Paul, his emails are heart touching. They gossip a lot. Days are passing and everything seems good. Ara is so happy. She's always smiling.
Wait, Ara is crying. What happened? She is writing over me and still her tears are falling on me.

Chipku,
We were talking and he asked me the name of the person I love. I didn't wanted to tell him. How could I tell him that I am in love with him? I know you're shocked too. I hated love but all of a sudden how did it happen. Even I am thinking so, but my heart's saying it just happened. He is the one I love. He's the one who makes me smile. He's the one on whom I can rely. I can't get over him. He forced me to tell the person's name. I told him, and he was bit surprised. He took it as a joke, I guess. He considers me a best friend only. But I can't just have him as a best friend. I love him, yes I do love him. All the love poems, I wrote were, for him. He is never gonna love me. He has started teasing me, he no more shares his secrets with me, he just tries to make me jealous. Now we don't even talk much. I think I am losing him. I guess what I did with James is happening with me. I want to cry, I want to scream, I want to die. It was better I wouldn't have told him about my feelings. What shall I do now. Whenever we talk we just fight nowadays. Infact now we have stopped talking. He thinks that if we talk,I will get hurt. So he's stopped talking. But, he do cares for me. He checks my profile, comments on my poems, sometimes. I can't handle things. I love him, I really do. But he's happy without me, I understand.
Ara
I don't know what to say. Ara is totally broken. It's not even Paul's fault. He rejected her, she was just his best friend, he might have loved someone else or there must be his own reasons. Ara needs to understand it. I am feeling bad for her. She believed love is fake and the same thing happened. Her trust on love is no more again. I think now she understands what James must be going through.
Her schools have opened. She's not the same anymore. She doesn't writes to me now. Everyday I see her go to school, come back home, she's changed. She doesn't care about anyone now. Months have passed, it's been around 8 months, they didn't talk to each other. Ara has left Writer's Block. She has stopped writing poetry. Everything has changed.

It's her birthday now. It's 4th of August, 2020. She is still hoping he will come back and wish her. And yes, he wished her. But he didn't wish her by his name, he wrote a letter to her, by someone's elses name. But she loved him, she recognised it was him. She again started crying. He had wished her birthday and written how much he missed her. She cried but those tears were of happiness, of missing him. She couldn't resist herself from writing an email to him. And here's what she writes-
"You think you are too smart, you will wish me by someone's else name and I won't recognise you. Stupid, I loved you. I know you, I know the way you write. Do you even realise, how many days, months it has been since we didn't talk? It was my fault I must have never told you about my feelings and everything would be fine, we would be best friends. I miss you, I miss your talks, I miss you teasing me, I miss you telling me about your day, I miss youuuuu, I miss you yrr. I read your emails almost everyday, I want those days back. You are a fool, you know, you think that if you don't talk to me I won't be hurt, but it's the opposite. And I swear we will just remain best friends. I need to tell you so many things and I need to hear so many things. And you're still a part of my life without whom I cannot live. I miss you."
And much more she wrote. She never got a reply. Yes it's been many years now. Things have happened in her life but she has never forgotten him.
Ara was in her death bed, the doctor informed that she's going to die within two hours. She contacted everyone in the first one hour and then she told everyone to leave her alone. She started writing a letter which was for him, which he never received-

Dear Mr Sweetu,
Years have passed and I hope you're fine. I am in my death bed writing to you. I wish we still were in contact. I wish I never told you about my feelings. I wish we were best friends. I have hurt you a lot. But you know what I still have hope, one day in heaven you will come, and tell me let's be best friends again. Oh sorry, not in heaven, in hell. I have done a lot of sins. I miss you dear. I wanted you to be here when I take my last breath. But that's never gonna happen. You don't need to stay in guilt that you rejected me. I know, I know you did it for my good. I know you very well, you must have a reason. And it's normal, it's your life, you didn't love me and you rejected me. I understand. You were right, it wasn't James fault. I remember you told me that I will realise one day how James must be feeling. And yes, I do realise. Stay happy and we will meet sometime. Not in this birth ofcoursely, the next birth is there. I will make sure you be my best friend. And I assure you, I will not fall in love in my next birth. Love is all fake. It just hurts. I don't know what shall I say. I have many things to say but I don't know how shall I tell you. May God bless you and always keep you happy. Even after I am gone I will still be around you protecting you. Keep smiling.
Your silly best friend,
ARA
And she took her last breath and she died.
THERE'S NO LESSON YOU NEED TO LEARN FROM THIS INCIDENT.
But do remember, everyone has their own side. Paul must be having his own reasons. Falling in love is good but after getting rejected, getting back is difficult. It's not impossible. You can do it. Be it one-sided, unrequited or whatever, love is love. And true love exists. ARA TRULY LOVED HIM. Sometimes friendship is better than love. Make your choices well. ARA and PAUL were best friends but just because of Ara everything got destroyed. Be careful with your choices. Choose friendship. Don't lose the person who cares for you.
This was it. Not so much special but just an incident from Ara's life, very close to my heart. And I am still Ara's Chipku.
Thank you Dear Reader.

I know you very well, you must have a reason. And it's normal, it's your life, you didn't love me and you rejected me. I understand. You were right, it wasn't James fault. I remember you told me that I will realise one day how James must be feeling. And yes, I do realise. Stay happy and we will meet sometime. Not in this birth ofcoursely, the next birth is there. I will make sure you be my best friend. And I assure you, I will not fall in love in my next birth. Love is all fake. It just hurts. I don't know what shall I say. I have many things to say but I don't know how shall I tell you. May God bless you and always keep you happy. Even after I am gone I will still be around you protecting you. Keep smiling.
Your silly best friend,
ARA
And she took her last breath and she died.
THERE'S NO LESSON YOU NEED TO LEARN FROM THIS INCIDENT.
But do remember, everyone has their own side. Paul must be having his own reasons. Falling in love is good but after getting rejected, getting back is difficult. It's not impossible. You can do it. Be it one-sided, unrequited or whatever, love is love. And true love exists. ARA TRULY LOVED HIM. Sometimes friendship is better than love. Make your choices well. ARA and PAUL were best friends but just because of Ara everything got destroyed. Be careful with your choices. Choose friendship. Don't lose the person who cares for you.
This was it. Not so much special but just an incident from Ara's life, very close to my heart. And I am still Ara's Chipku.
Thank you Dear Reader.

A Brief Encounter (part 1)
“221 B, Baker Street. What an unusual name for a coffee shop!” She thought as she crossed the road and walked to the coffee shop. “Maybe named after the legendary character or maybe the owner of the shop would be a great admirer”, she tried to find out the possible connections. The doorbell chimed as she opened the door. Having hung her coat on the hook, she glanced around for a place to sit. The place was rather uncrowded, given the popularity, as it’s not the peak hour. She chose an empty corner beside a window and ordered a tall espresso and a Baker special croissant. She looked out the window to see nothing exciting but the backyard of the cafe. “What good is a window if it doesn’t give you a view?” She muttered as she moved to the opposite end. She looked out to find the road empty with infrequent passing of one or two vehicles. It was a pleasant day with the clear sky except the sporadic drizzles. Opposite to the cafeteria was a lush green park which offered a breathtaking view of pink cherry blossom trees in rows which indeed were a feast for the eyes. She thought of the times when she played under the shades of cherry blossoms at her granny's home. She longed to return to those days when everything was merrier and how she lived without a care in the world. She resented how things had changed for worse.
“Madame?” a voice interrupted her childhood reveries.
“Madame, here is your order.”
“Thank you.”
“New to this place, madame?” the waitress asked her to strike a conversation as she had some time to kill.
“Yes.”
“Visiting?”
“No.”
The waitress thought it best to leave her alone sensing the melancholy around her from the monosyllabic replies. She explored the cafe sipping the cup of joe. It boasted neither neon signs nor flamboyant furniture. The red brick-walls, for the most part, were bare except a few paintings here and there. To her disappointment, there was nothing related to Holmes or his creator. This aroused her curiosity further to know the story behind the name. She gathered, despite all this, the cafe would be quite popular for its quaint atmosphere and the economy pricing. “Goodbye my love, my heart, my sweet..” Edith Piaf’s ballad was flowing along with the low murmurings of the people coming in and out. A young couple at the right end nibbling their food and saying sweet nothings to each other caught her eye. The young lady wore a cling dress with plunging neckline, a bit overdressed for a cafe. “Ten bucks says tonight is the night,” she mumbled to herself. Behind them was an old man with a receding hairline munching wafers and continuously cracked up by the jokes of his plump lady. She was completely unaware of the young lad making eyes at her ample bosom. The waitress who took her order flirted at the counter. She looked out of the window again to see a man in hat helping a blind beggar with clothes so threadbare cross the road. He also offered the beggar some coins and walked to the cafe. She looked rather curiously when the doorbell chimed to check if it was him. And yes, it was! He was tall, medium-built with a wheatish complexion. He hung his damp coat and looked around. She was seized with a desire to know more about him. As she was reluctant to make the first move, she pretended reading the paper biting the croissant.
“Excuse me, do you mind?” she looked up unexpectedly to find him waiting at her table. “Why? Why on earth would he come here when there are a lot of empty tables?” She thought as she rummaged around the place. She was surprised to see the place fully crowded. She gestured him to sit and sipped her coffee trying to avoid eye contact. The waitress came a moment later to take his order.
“Howdy sally?” asked he glancing through the menu.
Aye aye, sir. Pretty good.” she replied cheerfully.
“Well, I would like to have a latte and two raspberry macarons to go. Thank you.”

A Brief Encounter (part 2)
She assumed that he was a regular by the manner of their talking. She thought of asking about the history of the cafe but decided against it.
“Thank you for the seat,” he said.
“You are welcome,” she replied with feigned ignorance.
"How are you?”
“Very well, thanks.”
“I’m joe, by the way.”
“Aurelie."
“That’s a beautiful name just like you.”
“I don’t succumb to flattery.”
“Well, believe that you are not much of a talker, are you?”
“Basically, yes. I’m taciturn.”
“Okay. I’ll let you carry on then.”
“Okay.”
There was an awkward silence after this brief conversation.
The waitress came with his order and as she turned, her hand accidentally knocked the hat off his head revealing a tiny but cute umbrella drawing on his shaved-head. Having apologized, the waitress withdrew from the scene. Aurelie couldn't help but notice and burst into laughter. He bewildered what's wrong with her.
"I'm sorry", she laughed again and handed him a pocket mirror.
"Oh, this! Oh my gosh!" He joined her and they laughed their heart out.
"My three-year-old girl did this." He continued, "When I was about to leave home to buy her favourite macarons, she stopped me and said, "dadda, keep this umbrella in case it rains" and drew this on my head. I completely forgot about that."
"Such a lovely daughter!" She remarked.
"Yes, she is. I'm a single parent and I can't imagine a life without her. Anyways, I didn't take you for a jubilant person given your pensive look."
"Well, appearances are deceptive, you know."
And then they indulged in a jovial conversation and for a person looking from outside the window they seemed a perfect couple enjoying a peaceful evening.
"Do you have room for a caramel falafel, Aurélie?"
"Nah.. I'm full."
"Don't hesitate, it's on me."
"No. Seriously, I'm good.'
"So, shall we?"
"Yeah, sure."
They settled the bill and went out. The day was drawing to a close and everyone seemed hurrying home before the rain hit.
"So, here we are. Thank you for a lovely evening."
"You are a great person to have around. By the way, why 221 B Baker Street? Any idea?"
"The cafe has a painful past to tell. The founder of this cafe, when he was a child, was caught by the police and imprisoned for a day for stealing a loaf of bread which he meant to give his starving sister. He was so disheartened that he couldn't appease his sister's hunger. He came out of the prison deciding that he would take things in his hands and reach up to a position where he is well-treated. When he started the cafe after doing every odd jobs, he couldn't think of a better name than this because he was number 221 in the B block of the prison. The current proprietor is the great grandson of the founder."
"Wow! Heart touching indeed! A story of struggle and survival."
A clap of thunder and a bolt of lightning announced the arrival of rain and it was time for them to part ways.
He held her close and brushed her auburn curls off her cheeks. She let her mind float in ecstacy. The balmy wind caressed her and she felt that life had cast a certain chill.
"Our paths will cross again," assured he.
She just nodded and kept her lips sealed.
And then,
A gentle stroke and a tender kiss on the cheek- a perfect way to say goodbye.

Utterly Average
I am utterly average,
brown skinned and a wide smile,
I'm a tiny piece of cosmos,
Living as human for a while
I'd hide myself in the background,
and I'm always left on my own
but the most prettiest flowers,
are the ones that grow alone
You think, I don't fear losing people,
and I am good at letting go?,
But all day, I watch dead flowers,
hoping someday they will grow.

I wish I would stand
Under a shattered sky
With golden rays
And silver slant
Where there
Would be Silences
Which could
Apprise all the
Secrets
Where there would
Be No expectations
And No explanations
Minds without fear
Hearts without guilt...

Everyone's life is a big puzzle
And we don't know how many pieces we have got
Some pieces fit perfectly
And some may not fit at all
We are constantly adding
The pieces to the puzzle
All the memories , adventures and
The lessons we learn
You can be
A part of someone's puzzle
But never cut off your edges
To fit in their puzzle
Just stay yourself
With what you are
And one day
You'll create a masterpiece
Everyone's life is a big puzzle
And we don't know how many pieces we have got
Some pieces fit perfectly
And some may not fit at all
We are constantly adding
The pieces to the puzzle

The lessons we learn

A part of someone's puzzle
But never cut off your edges

Dear Shadows
You follow me
When I'm in
My own sunshine
And you remind me
How one can
Stick to you
Even at the Times of
Despair and Melancholy
Dear Shadows
You follow me
When I'm in
My own sunshine
And you remind me
How one can
Stick to you
Even at the Times of
Despair and Melancholy
For what you know
For what you know as love
I know it as sorrow
For what you think is Granted
I have to borrow
In the dense darkness of the dawn Or
In the thin hue of grey at night
I see you in hope
I am like a dying fly around the little light
For what you knew as Flower
Even I see it as you
Because I am the one who keeps it every day
Before the grave, for you
You took the peace as if it is granted, the peace which comes after death
I have to search for it every time I think of you
You took the moments of happiness as granted, the happiness when you were alive
I have to borrow it from my memory because I cant live it again with you twice .
I dread a life which I have to live now
Because I know it will not be as we once lived
But I promise to make the best out of it
As you wanted me to live, with kindness in heart and a smile in the face.

Our destinies are another example of magic experiences and stardust.
It already knows what we hold for us in the time running. By being extra gentle and sometimes stubborn. It flies away with love of our lives to only being them back. Giving you extra drops from the ocean of time.
It helps you elope with the memories you hold and realise that what you feel in your body is not just an hormonal sensations but, a extra bunch of cells and memories and a whole new person who loves you to the core and wants time to ponder over the facts and statements given by the famous authors, who were once laughed on.
And then, in the time of separation it holds some magic creations to mark a beautiful day for you both to hold and embrace your body and souls.
And a mysterious set-up to help you reunite after a gleam-less night and them boommm!!
When you meet and look into the eyes of your beholder the time and sounds will stop flowing off from your watch and ears. The day you will feel new and numb, just lost in the glimpse of the girl standing in front and when you get hold of the time and sounds. The time will give again give you extra drop from the ocean of its realm. To again co-create the time you lost.
