'those who lived to tell the tale sometimes do have a different version of their own'... and why not after all why give others the satisfaction of your pain when you can make them jealous of your happiness...

Loved your blog...living in the stories of others when your's doent seem perfect..

hope to see some more sooner than later.

the choice, the fire of the fighting to stay in against all obstacles, the 'you are mine'.

make the story yours.

Nothing should ever disqualify except the lack of a connection. :)

Yeah yeah.. mauka mila nahi ki tang kheenchna shuru.

Sigh! Ab kahan se shuru karu? :) Life's been good. I've been pretty much 'welcomed' in the city of dreams... missing everything about the city which is always dreaming.

Everything's changing, Aakash. I feel as if the whole world is going round and round and i'm standng at its axis, gaping at it, dumbfound.

Except one thing... Im still waiting for the weekend when i can finish Shantaram.. I mean the book.;)

@ Ashen Glow: Yahin hain, just sitting still. And breathing as well.

As for tumhari kahaani, it had to be such, its yours afterall. :)

2009-01-28T16:18:00.000+05:30

People meet, fall in love, endue all the trauma, maybe get married, (and sometimes sadly, maybe not) and live happily ever after.

You should listen to my love story..
In my fairy tale every thing has been differently (i dare not use the word wrongly) arranged in the jig saw..

We met. Ok.

The we got married. There you go.

We have fallen in love.. Wallah...

And now we are waiting for that downhill thingy to happen...

Ha!
Go figure!

Only, love still stings hard... :)
Ashen

P.S: Disappeared you have. Breathing?

I looked at the time difference between comments and decided otherwise.

@humbl devil: So go to Maratha Mandir and watch DDLJ. :)

@Winged Fantasy: I just talked about DDLJ and now we are referring to DTPH.

@Learning to Fly: Here you have almost written a story to accompany my lengthy lecture. :D

And IF you can call YOUR story simple, then simple it is.

@Anonymous: Thank you.

@Anonymous: (i think you are not the same one as above), shukriya.

2009-01-09T20:04:00.000+05:30

HEY! The post is really well written.
Though I must say that I agree with Aparna.
The best love stories are simple.
They are narrated by two pairs of eyes locked onto each other; unflinching, honest and trusting, even in the midst of chaos. They are spelled out by words written on a sheet of paper, torn from a notebook by a young boy and tossed to his crush.
The best love stories are unwritten and unrecorded. A wounded soldier utters his sweetheart's name like a prayer unto his last breath. He whispers it with reverence as he traces the tilt of her lips in his mind, as he recalls her lilting voice and her fingers running through his hair. His lady sleeps on a warm bed with tears running down her face, and feels the searing pain of every wound inflicted on his body. She will stand tall at his graveside as they honour him, she will whisper his name on her deathbed as a tribute to him, even as her eyes convey her affection to her second husband.
The best love stories are not simple because they were unremarkable, they are simple because the two lovers did not claim to be extraordinary. They were just in love,........ain't that simple?

2009-01-01T23:17:00.000+05:30

:-) I do... when and if I do meet the right one. :-)
Now dont ask me how I wud know when I do meet him... warna tussi kahoge Dil toh pagal hai effect hai.. ;-)

@Khamakha: I just watched RNBDJ last night, your comment makes me remember Tani ji's observation. :)

@Blokes: Where have you been madam? And am glad you remembered this way!

As for the 'ONE', there is still some spacee left to arrive at that level of unity. Waqt lagega. :)

"To risk it all for one, the one that you are saving should be worth your everything." What ONE? There IS only ONE! Where the separation?! Of course, the "separation" makes for lovely writing! Lovely writing as usual! - Blokes

The best love stories are not complicated at all. You know you want to be together - no matter what. What could be simpler?

@ Anki: Oh come on! Not RAB NE BANAA DI JODI!!!

Its more of a take on the subjectivity of love, and the romance thats always seen better when you are not involved in it. I know FireToAshes is all of stories, and i rarely ramble, but its a story about stories and its about love so here it is.

Maybe you might give credit to DDLJ with its Come Fall In Love. But its not the Chopras, it me. :)

2008-12-11T23:34:00.000+05:30

and it took an uncluttered mind to truly appreciate this post.

I loved the way you have captured the lingering longings of love in the wake of the magic of great stories.
But, i wish you could have brought it into perspective through "a story".

~ rab ne bana di jodi ~ hmm?
