You are My Notebook, I am Your Reader!

 Dear Firdaus Teacher, 

Diary personal thi padhke pata chala - sorry, 

par mere ye shabd bhi personal hain, tumhe padhke hi pata chalega..

so....

There's a world we're stuck in and we call it ours, although it's shared by millions and trillions who feel. But this picture we make of our own world, we don't consider where others stand, we never question, never get curious and just dip ourselves into a self zone.

The main thing is feelings: when you're lost or feel empty, you want to feel comfortable and able to trust the other half's affection and direction in life. Hope and emptiness are in the same boat, but they are very far apart. I am aware of how your experience with learning to play with a kite was a patriarchal structure, and I also understand how essential your sense of freedom is. You do experience the sensitivity of relationships, the importance of self-discovery, and the taglines that one other carries in a partnership. But trust me, you were and are always the most beautiful woman I would have ever seen, even when we didn't meet. You led me to a life where I couldn't hear your directions but I could feel your guidance...

I don't know how many men have proved this to you but love is not physical, 

yes, it can be materialistic cause materials hold memories and 

I found you through a notebook. 


However, I'm curious about how much you truly feel that your words have helped me discover my true love and how to explore myself. I have no authority, no right, but my possessive love, which has grown as I have become more curious, to acknowledge that - Junaid's love ruled as a possession, his concerns were in disguise that stopped him understanding you, him blocking the way of your dreams with reasons, I and you, we both just needed one who stayed...and I know why you chose to flee.When you love someone, you do let go of them since, at times, their care towards you or your love is not worthy of your heart.

And you stop considering better options when the other person only considers making the situation as it was. Choosing for yourself when you're most vulnerable is not a bad thing. Nobody is aware of the traumas we carry, Firdaus; it's just you and the world you imagine as your own. You have every right to have second thoughts about yourself if the person you share love with is unable to look past your suffering, to support you when you fall, or to fall with you every time. I enjoy educating the kids the way you did and taking them to the locations you visited while attending the school to relive your passion. 

I could never have imagined in my short life that I would be brave enough to reach you through this, even though I knew there was no hope. I never needed any reason to love you and never expected to witness your existence but maybe god had other plans for us! And this is why, the person you love may not always be the same or be there for you when you need them, but we have no control over anything that happens externally. We might want and anticipate things from them, but withholding love from them is not the same as losing this diary in the rain. With this message, I'm missing someone with the notion of them. The person you love is no less than human to push your expectations and not have a life direction. Minding that again dedicates a chance...a curiosity that we develop towards each other I know. But I can do that any damn day if it's for you.

From the Ashiq who shares your Notebook,

Kabeer

Collection : Forms of Loving Selflessly

I Want You by My Side When I say I want you by my side, Will you be brave enough to take a chance and stand beside? I will save my act of service for you, I will save all my efforts for you, I will save my weird self and the cozy habits for you. Until I start to like you again and again.   Like you as my only privilege, as my only life’s lover, as my only option, to make you feel every day that love has arrived again...   Deep down from my heart, I know you will say yes, But while I’m standing in front of this world Can you say it out loud?  And  make my soul feel the bliss.   I always embrace loving you as my choice and liking you as a habit, as if looking at you feels like I have always lived in this rejoice. That’s how happy I am with you, I’ll keep going through limits for you, Even if the chivalry counts for a few.   I will love you cause my heart knows all of this is true, And if you don’t feel t...

THE UNSPOKEN LOVE DRAFT - [ Meri Pyari Bindu ]

  Dear Abhimanyu,   It's just to tell you that it's okay! You did your best and you will never regret your love. Living with the memories of your loved ones without expecting anything and soulfully loving them regardless of every right and wrong, is your kind of true love. You have understood Bindu every single second, you have let her be, you have cherished her existence, her memories with you and you have let her grow with your silly-smiley-support for every time she did stumble. It's not easy to save album full of songs of Lata ji, Kishor ji and write your love like Gulzar's lyrics for the past 3years , you might not have known/learned to move on  kintu 'Tumi bhalosbasha ke cheenecho'. Your devotional, unrequited and true love will never fade but it will close its pages just like your book draft .It's way beautiful that Bindu knows your story .You will grow on new memories, learn to live with the past as you have already learned to swallow the past and mo...

ABOUT THE FEELING OF BELONGINGNESS!

It's just the beginning,   Where do you belong?  None cares, dear!    Dear Future Me,  It's just the beginning. you grew up questioning yourself "What do you call home ? ", "Where do your dreams take you?", "Why do you feel so incomplete?", "Why are so calm whenever something's about to be wrong around / with you ?", "What comforts you the most ?", "Where do you feel safe or do you ever feel so?", "What makes you this accepting  yet not enough for people?", "What makes you this much adjusting yet not enough ?" , " What is love and family for you?", "Why do you grow/change just with books and films, not with people?"...and a lot of weird questions, believe me! Growing older is difficult, but you mature sooner when there is a lot going on around you.   You cannot stand weak and count your responsibilities , you are afraid of people, you're afraid to cry, you're too late...
