chapter 1

Life is like a smoke in the fire for him. When it goes no one knows as he was also going

out like a smoke. Though want to live life to the fullest but destiny has not given so much

time for that. But it was a dream to be in top and he is fulfilling that and would fulfill

that, as it is said “the biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams”.

Though he had no regret out of life but sometime he thinks if it was not be like that thenhis life would have been different. He would definitely have been in some industry evenwithout higher education and if that would have happened, he would have got his lovetoo. But then the life would have been without any adventure. It is just an imagination,everyone imagines the life to be different than the way it is. I am not the philosopher, not a story writer even but a technical person authoring the life of a person and imagining it to be different than what it is.

The purpose of this story is to express the agonies faced by him in love and the

way he wants to live life but destiny has not allowed him to do so. This strange but true

love story is written by heart, but at the end of the story he is satisfied that at least he

experienced the most beautiful thing in the world, that is the love. Absence makes the

heart grow fonder. He still loves his beloved and is in tears on remembering the time

spent with her, he still waits for her and when is in a sad mood remembers her and even

sends her message whether she reads it or not.

It is believed that as we grow in strength in our spiritual life, we give up the habit

of worrying. It serves no purpose other than to make us feel tense and miserable. If I stop

fretting about things that are beyond my control and rather focus on generating optimistic

and kind thoughts, my life can begin to flow in more positive directions. Such a light and

easy approach to life enables me to take everything in my stride. But this approach is

hypothetical rather than realistic for him. The story starts at this stage which is truly

heartening and I as an author of the story would not be able to present the whole picture

of the story if I do not imagine myself to be in his place. was the 3rd April 2009 at 8:34 pm, I received a message from my school time

friend Sonam “I am going to United States today, I will talk to you once I reach

there, take care”.

I was in deep thought as what she wants to tell me, as she never sends me message like

that. It seems something very urgent and may be it is concerned with my life. She was my

school time friend and married to a software engineer. She was working in a software

company in Delhi. As her husband had been transferred to US and she was going to join

him there. It seems that the message had been sent from airport only.

Next day was a usual day for me. I simply forgot about her message too.

At around 8:30 pm she gave me a call and said “Hi Sameer, how are you? I was in

hurry that day so I simply sent you a message, because I was boarding flight to

US. I want to tell you something which seems to be very important in your life”.

I was excited “What? Please tell me, I am dying to hear what you want to say.”

She replies “I had been in Jammu for few days. I met Sonia‟s sister. She is going

to marry in the mid April and she was busy in preparations for the same. Please

forget about her as she is going to be someone else‟s wife now”.

I became mute for a moment. It seemed as if someone has taken heart away from my

body, as if I was a body without soul, a warrior defeated in the battle of life. I was in

tears, my heartbeat increased and it seemed as if my heart will come out of my body.
