"I find beauty in sadness, and peace... and a mystery waiting to be solved.. the more you unfold the mystery, the more you are mesmerized by the layers of mystery lying underneath.. and solitude becomes the perfect company for sadness..but again, the feeling you get when you realize you're not alone gives you inexplicable happiness.. and there's satisfaction in happiness, , and another mystery which is unknotted yet difficult to penetrate"

"Loving is effortless.. while Relationships, they require your time and patience... the two things we all lack.."

"But some relationships aren't meant to last.They are worthy only till the time the two persons involved have time for each other.They do not know eternity. They live for the present, the 'now'. And when distance plays it part, or life turns out to be busy, they fall apart.And may be that's why they're never termed 'LOVE'. They simply remain what they were - mere RELATIONSHIPS."

"For grief has always been so dear to you that you would make me writhing in pain in the brothel of your imaginations than to be playing with a bunch of balloons in the yard where I should have been.'And may be that's why, you'd rather talk to me about this, than to write a story about me where I could live happily."

"To write is to reveal oneself.When I write something, fiction or non - fiction, I do not expect you to accept what I write, nor to agree with what I propose.I expect you to spend at least a tenth of a second to think about it - may be not about the characters, nor about the piece, but at least about the idea."

"I knelt in front of life, folded my hands and prayed for some more time; there couldn't be any. My heart bled and so did my tearful eyes.Time, they say, flies, but I saw it slowly passing by taking each of my tardy breaths with it as it walked out of my life."

It's more fun when the person you love doesn't know you do.. what's difficult is when he does.. and that makes you what you'd never want to be - Vulnerable."

"He saw her red eyes filled with tears of anger. 'Tell me why this rage?' He asked holding her in his arms. 'Why do you fence for yourself so much?She sighed and muttered, 'Because all I really want is nothing but to be proved wrong."
