"My cousin touched me there"

For the first time when she came in I knew she is going to be one of my best pals. she was bubbly, chirpy sociable and a caring human being. She was I felt my true copy. But what I felt wasn't true and I'd never known that trait of hers which never matched mine.

She never liked to talk or be familiar to the opposite sex. I found this irritating but I just used to remember all her other traits which brought her close to me and she became one of the closest beings to me on this Earth.

As she and I had got very close in friendship that we began sharing secrets which we never thought  we would tell any one ever.

Then one day as we were alone in my room I asked her why she was so unfamiliar and irritated with boys. I felt I had opened up some wound of hers. She broke down. And amidst of all this she just let out the words......

"my cousin touched me there"

I was taken aback. I was wrong to be claiming that I understood her. I was wrong.

Ps:) This is not a piece of fiction its the cruel and crude truth my dear friend went through.
pps:) posting it the third time (previously posted on Jagruti and one of my personal blogs)

Deeps & Shikha! (BrEaKiNg NeWs)

It was 10th of April 2009 when this guy called Deeps came to my blog...and it was just an act of courtesy to get back to his space and post a comment...
That day I never thought that I'd be writing a post as such for him. From blog friends to E-mail friends then chat friends and phone friends...it has been an amazing journey of friendship with him...
We've never met till date but we still share a wonderful bond of friendship...and because of which I get the first chance to announce this very important thing of his life first to the world of wonderful friends...even before him.. :P

So guys...before you all keep guessing all wrong things I'd better announce that Deeps a.K.K.a Deepu Paul is getting engaged to Shikha Selvin who's also a very good friend of mine and who I'd say is as beautiful a human being as him...

"Love is a miracle, sweet as can be,
That will always remain a complete mystery.
For though it is something that’s centuries old,
It cannot be purchased for silver or gold.
But instead must be given of one’s own free will,
And received with no promises it must fulfill.
And once it’s exchanged in this time-honored way,
There’s nothing that love cannot manage to say.
No problems too great and no problems too small,
For love, like a miracle, conquers them all.
And leaves in their place such a feeling of peace,
That joy, just like love, cannot help but increase!"

I take this opportunity to wish these two souls getting united, a life full of love and completing the other...

My warmest and heartiest wishes to the two love(ly) souls.

May your engagement be Blessed with joy and companionship for all your lives!
