A lot can happen over a coffee

Here is what I feel about, People criticizing the system of cafes and coffee shop in India. Its just a a way of spending money, is what they say. Come to see of it, I was feeling a bit low since morning and so wanted to talk to someone and just go and chill out somewhere nothing where there will be loud music or anywhere where it is really quite, but some place where it is just a comfortable place to sit and solve your problem with someone. I went to a nearby café, it is a comfortable place with a couch facing the open ground of shivaji park, I sat there reading a book and waiting for a friend, after 10mins or so after I had settled down the waiter came in with the menu card, I told him that I was expecting someone so is it okay if I order after he comes. The waiter tell me no problem keeps the menu card on the table and leaves, and I continue reading my book and waiting for my friend. This shows how much they care for their customer and you feel relieved there, you are in a problem already and someone acts good to you that brings a instant smile on your face.
After the person I was waiting for came, we started talking and were really engrossed in it, the waiter came after sometime and took the order, I continue talking with my friend trying to solve the problem, and we are left without any disturbance. After we finish the coffee the waiter comes with the bill, we pay and we leave.
Don’t you think that was worth the price we paid there?. You spend a comfortable treatment there, you talk to your friend your heart out you enjoy a really nice coffee, and now you have solved your problems and are happy! I really do think its really worth that 100rupees we paid them. And I now do believe in the tag line “ a lot can happen over a coffee”. 

Suicide!

This is not a topic to support suicides or to glorify people who have already committed suicide. its just my take on suicide. This thought just came to my mind the other day, I was talking to one of my, tanay, friend about people who commit suicide “ I just feel they are coward, and cant face the world”, he said.

Come to thing of it, I don’t really understand how can you call them a coward? A normal guy will start shaking by the thought of death approaching him, imagine just taking a knife and cutting of your vein or standing on top of the building and jumping down.
I don’t guess the people who commit suicide are coward, I mean to say, how can a coward just cut his wrist off, or jump from a building which will mean “hello… I am not coming back” how can a coward look straight in the death’s eyes and still have courage to commit suicide.
I guess the problem is deeper, instead of sitting and cursing those people who committed suicide and call them coward, why don’t we avoid it by just trying to solve their problem. But no! who got time in this bloody world? All we people think of is how to do great in life and make other sulk. Why cant we bring humanity back? Why cant we sit with our friends and just talk the problem out and help them out?
People who are still act good to people and are loyal are taken advantage of by other people.
World is beautiful and no one really wants to die and leave this world, but there are circumstances where they feel they are helpless and no one to listen to them and the only way out is to get rid of the life in a hope they will get peace after they leave this mean world.

lonely or solitude???

Why this sometimes happen that even though you have loads of friends out there but no one is free to meet you. I dont know what has happened to me these days why am i soo frustrated and angry over everyone. Is it because of this loneliness i am facing? I am happy now but i somewhat missing my old days as well my old friends. Life is good now as well or rather perfect but some insecurities some changes in life is that i am not able to take, its those simple things in life those simple changes but its bothering me something has got into me... and i seriously need helppp!!!
Why everyone has to be in contact with me but have no time for me? Why everyone has to get busy with their boyfriends and girlfriends soo much that they have no time for their friends? what has so drastically changed? or is it just me who has changed? is it really me whoz wrong? i tried figuring this out a loads of time but just can't now friends its your time to help me out plzz!.
what is the matter with me?

boyfriend or boy who is a friend?

"A gal and a boy can never be friends", Its one of the old and most Clichéd sentence ever.Is this really true? I mean can't any girl and a boy be just friends and no love involved in it?. Is it necessary that the love factor has to come in? Is it nessary for atleast one of them to have a crush on the other person? Well as everyone else even i have my personal views on it. I say, why can't two people of opposite sex's be just friends and nothing more than that? Why people have to talk about your friendship behind their backs? Its just a normal thing, I mean to say its just a normal friendship which a girl has with other girl and boy with other boys. If two people of opposite sex's are happy and comfortable in eachother's company then why people have a problem with that. Don't a girl have a healthy relation with her brother who obviously is a boy.
If a sister can be close to her brother than why can't a girl be close to other guy? What is the harm? The harm is always there in the mind of people thinking of something like this, they are creating a misconception in their mind and make the others suffer.
I just hope as our soceity has changed soo much over years, even this should be changed as soon as possible.
And once again the same Question of if " A girl and a boy can be friends or not" remains unanswered. Like many other Question's which are debatable and unanswered till date.

Dear boy

Dear boy,
I do not know who you are, or where or when we will meet, but I do hope it is soon. I pray that when we meet and fall in love you will love me, for me and not hope for someone who is thinner or prettier. I hope you wont compare me to girls who have brighter smiles. I hope that you will make me laugh, take care of me if I get sick, and be trustworthy.
I hope you will remember that I prefer daises to rose. And that my favorite color is white and not pink.
Please know that I might be too shy to kiss first, but please don’t be afraid to kiss me. I wont slap you or push you awa. I’m sure your kisses will be perfect. When we go on a date, please don’t stress about where to take me, what’s important is that I’ll be with you.
If I cry, please know that it isn’t because of you, just hold me close and I will heal quickly. And if it is because of you, I’ll heal just the same. And if we decide to breakup please understand that I maybe a bit rude, but I’d like to be your friend if you’ll let me. Promise to remember that you have feelings too, ever though you’ll never admit it, and when you are ready we’ll have friendship.
I hope I m not askin too much out of you…..i hope you understand that I m a bit too much. And if you think if I am acting a bit too much please let me know…..what I want is you to tell me that ‘I don’t care what kind of character you are or what kind of fool or a nutcase you are I don’t care if you’re the stupidest person alive on this earth , I love you for what you are and that is what matters’.

Your someone,
Pooja.

dear boy
