An untold story

It was a calm evening. The wind was gently blowing across the quiet valley enchanting all the living beings in its mysterious path. The twilight all around was only adding to the omnipresent softness of the delicate period. Life seemed to be a treat, a gift to cherish and an entity worth dying for. I, as usual ,was sitting under a tree and contemplating about the intricacies of life in all its varied manifestations. Suddenly, I saw her like a goddess in the isle. Like a starlet in the sky, she was twinkling with mildness; mildness that made her confident, mildness that made her self-assured and mildness that gave her a unique strength. Her light hairs like naughty kids covered her face just as clouds cover the moon during rainy seasons. Her steps were telling hitherto untold stories; stories which if verbalized might very well account for a severe blasphemy. Her sight was dreamy. I looked at her just as Archimedes might have looked at the bath tub immediately after his grand discovery of the phenomenon of buoyancy. Life has its own moments of jubilation; moments which define a person’s life and apparitions. It was one of those moments for me; a moment which took me by a storm, a moment which redefined my convictions and last but not the least a moment which altered my perspective towards life. I knew that I liked her. I also knew that I respected her but I never knew that my liking and respect had actually given way to unconditional admiration; a divine feeling which propels us to the path of self-discovery. For me, my feelings for her were sacrosanct. There are compartments in everyone’s life which are not put up to face public glare. This was one such domain. I tried reversing the universal trend of nature; that of hiding the fire under the ashes. Ishq par jor nehi, he ye woh ali shayar, jo chhupaaye naa chhupe. This song from the film Dil Se catches the exact vive to describe my feelings. I tasted the forbidden water from the golden river for the first time; a taste which almost compelled me to re-prioritize my entire life.
