"He noticed that she threw away the crumbled bus ticket on the street as soon as she got down. He picked it up and put it in his pocket along with his own a memorabilia of their first date together, just like a strand of her hair he would find later on his shirt and the broken pen cap that she would go on to search in the laboratory and so many other such small things which he would collect."
"One of the symptoms of having a broken-heart is the fact that even ghosts will give up on the hope of scaring you as you have already lived through your worst fear."
"Seeing her cry still made me feel the same way it did earlier."
"Life can be a real bitch at times and force us to destroy what we created. The important thing is to believe in what we created, to believe in the magic of the moment when we found those people in our lives, keep fighting until life bows down to our wishes and lets them be a part of our existence."
"Rahul had wondered how someone could love their beloved so much that their dedication to them became one of the wonders of the world."
"The pain would not leave him. It came to him like the tide that hits the sea."
"Walking alone is not difficult but when we have walked a mile worth a thousand years with someone then coming back alone is what is difficult."
"Love never comes with a brochure of rules and regulations, a prospectus with guides of what is acceptable and what is abominable. It's a standard to follow your heart, and that's what I did and if doing that hurt you, then I'm sorry sorry for coming in your life and wasting your time, for causing you an anguish so great that you could not bear the sight of me. Today, I am proud to stand up and honour myself and proclaim to the world, yes, I loved someone more than myself. I loved someone truly, madly, deeply!"
"It was strange even after suffering from fate, a person in love would choose the same fate over his life."
"Why wish for something that will never be? It ends in nothing but heartbreak. We wish, then we think about how things would be if our wishes came true. And we feel happy thinking about those things. But then we wake up and realise that our wishes don't have wings. And it hurts because all the happiness that we thought of, was never real. Hold on to what you have, try to find your happiness in what is, rather than what should or could have been."
"The skies bend, the time stops, the lanes move and the fires dance,It can mean only one thing that I am with you.You are enigmatic yet so beautiful that I have lost my sense, You are as immaculate as the unadulterated morning dew And your beauty leaves me in a mystified trance.I do not foresee what you and I will beBut I promise to be with you till the rocks keep meeting the sea."
"Isolation, for him, had become a basic sine qua non for existence and loneliness, his sole companion like a perfectly faithful twin. He was someone for whom even happiness would cry for, mourning the death of his sentiments and murdering the existence of his soul."
"Fate, they say, fate- the clay that molds the events of your life, and it was the same fate that had thrown the stone of her heart on the building of his expectations. But then wasn't it his fault that he had constructed the building of glass? Hadn't he failed to cement the bricks of his love with trust and colour them with security? There was no insurance for broken hearts, no ointment for wounded souls and there would never be one, he knew."
"Their hands are tied not by ropes but by the greed of the intermediaries that the system has generated, who eat up the farmer's income while it is on its way into his hands."
"He did not have anything on him except her thoughts, except the good times he had once shared and the bad times he so desperately wanted to forget."
"No matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief."
"I could take back those moments that snatched you away from me or maybe just wipe away those ten minutes when you came to me for the first time and I looked into your eyes to realise what love is."
"But when nothing in your life happens in a positive frame, it is difficult to think positively and hope for the best."
"Not watching the path where his legs took him, he walked on because he knew he had to walk ahead, leaving his past behind."
"He got up slowly, not bothering to curse himself for forgetting the stop where he had to disembark. He was not used to leaving things behind; he wondered how the bus stop escaped."
"Love lies in those unsent drafts in your mailbox. Sometimes you wonder whether things would have been different if you'd clicked 'Send'."
"I wonder if I could take back every 'I love you' ever said to you, would I do it?"
"In that one moment, I wrapped a thousand others. A lifetime of joy, sorrow, laughter, frowns, smiles, tears... life!"
"All the good times evaporated like naphtha, the moment some air of misconceptions touched it."
"She turned around to look at me with her enchanting gaze that further pierced my heart; a look I would never forget and I would retain till perpetuity and think of it always whenever she came to my mind. And that is not going to be a few times, if my heart is to have its way."
"The grip of her eyes is so hard that he can barely breathe. She entices him to crash into her and explore her depths. But he is already soaked in different waters."
"Eye contact is way more intimate than words will ever be."
"She walked away too far for me to call... and for her to hear my voice."
"Envy is a much natural byproduct when your childhood isn't the way it is supposed to be."
"Silence has its own language and in that silence he found words within himself; words for her, words for him and words for them."
"Whenever the cloud of ego threatens to engulf me, I remind myself of my roots. It helps keeping my feet on the ground."
"Little did I realise how much I would miss those ten minutes, those ten minutes in which I lived an entire lifetime."
