Pages From Her Diary

So thats all team for the day, as my Manager concluded the team meet. A quick glance at the watch it was past 10.35 pm, wrapped up in a jiffy to dash out of the office building.  The walk outside the lane off to the road always fascinated me .. tall buildings lit up beautifully in the backdrop of the sky and the exquisite Powai lake gleaming in the reflection of the lights is a treat of the eyes and soul !!   Built around the serene Powai Lake, with scenic lake view residences, abundant greens, wide roads, vibrant energy.. Powai’s reputation precedes itself as the most desirable neighborhood to call home. A childhood dream to reside in this beautiful place which I had always nurtured . The lake looks majestically beautiful during dawn & twilight hours and ofcourse it's the mountains that i see each day as I walk out of my office building always fascinated me and would get me in to the day dreaming mode !! A dream house in the midst of this beautiful place to settle do...

The concert day…. for  Adi it was the most important day of his life . A gamut of feelings swept past him – excitement, nervousness – as he geared up for the event.  Too many things at stake,  I can’t let myself down, I can’t let the people close to me who stood by me to see this day, down - Adi’s mind was filled with these thoughts . “ Hey, Rockstar, all set ?  Am waiting to see your performance and that sexy smile of yours on the stage . My Adi is gonna rock “ Neha’s message made him smile .    “Yeah, the smile will be there , only for you, Be there ”  . he replied . It was a star-studded magical evening. This is going to the highlight of Adi’s musical career. All top 5 finalists were there in all their glory. As the performances started one after the other, Neha’s heartbeats went faster as she heard Adi’s name being announced.  She saw Adi walking up to the center stage, spotlights on him. He looked awesome, his silky hair fal...

The next few weeks flew past. She was bowled over by Adi’s natural zest, limitless enthusiasm and for him She was his staunchest ally, anchor, his confidante. They understood each other perfectly even when they disagreed. Together they would plan out strategies to be nearer to the goal. Days of fun, happiness and at times frustration yet the feeling that they were with each other was hugely comforting. Mira stared at her in aghast as Neha smiled & said “I am not taking up this project now.“ Mira had seen Neha brooding and now she knew why. "Why Neha, you guys are not even committed. Has Adi ever spoken about his feelings for you. Fine , he is a nice guy, he cares, he confides in you. Is that all the reason you need to chuck an offer that you have been waiting for ?”  She asked “You are right Mira. He has never spoken about it.  But this decision is not about him, its about me.  I'm happy with him. I feel a deep sense of comfort to be a small part of his s...

It was the most memorable ride of my life, thought Neha as they rode to the  destination  -  “ It all seems like a movie, too good to be true ! Cars, buses moving alongside, wind leisurely caressing my face, hair blown away by the wind and me blown away by his skilled driving, careful enough not to have me ruffled. Am loving every moment of this ride .” As they were close to the Powai lake stretch, Adi slowed down the bike and said  “This is my favorite place, where I dream with my eyes wide open “ . Neha smiled as he asked  “ Would you mind if we spend some time here before I drop you home ? ”  and he parked his bike. It was indeed a beautiful sight, the gleaming lake, dark sky,  horizons.. as they walked towards the small steps and found a place which gave a wholesome view of the place.  Adi looked as if he was kind of inhaling the moment. Neha laughed and asked, “ Do all musicians love the scenic settings ?  Adi you make amazing mus...
