Theme 26 - Distance

"I am feeling lonely.."
Why baby? Come in my arms. "Your arms work as cocoon, I feel so safe."
Be in your cocoon always.
"I love you"
Baby, I won’t be wrong if I say, You define my existence. I love you, too.
"Baby, your love is the reason I never realize that you are 600kms away."
- Rashmeet Kaur Bedi


We entered the crowded club. Distinct expressions on every face. Some rejoiced on seeing the long lost friends, some tried to rekindle the rusted bonds. I walked towards him, our eyes met.. He turned and walked away.
Moment of realization.. Not just long years, but even a few months have the ability to beget distances...
- Nishita Goyal


And suddenly one day he turned his back towards her and never returned. Cried many nights to bed but didn't say a word to her. He knew walking the same distance back alone will be tough, but every time he saw her, he could only see that moment rewind in his head.
- Jaya Kataria


Lunch was now totally different from the times when they were colleagues. Opportunities had ripped them apart. Months later she called him and said, "I don't feel like eating!" to which he spontaneously replied, "Just shut up and say AAAA". These conversations over lunch made them relive the old days. Distances had brought them closer.
- Lokesh Dugar


We both are standing at the two opposite ends of a bridge which is broken from the mid. We cannot meet. You cannot hold me in your arms. The war between two castes has broken down the bridge. Though, the distance is societal, it cannot separate our hearts. You will be loved and cared for "always"!
- Sanchi Bahrani


Two months of sitting in opposite cubicles, trying and peaking over the four feet wall every now and then, only to realize how beautiful she was. Always finding her engrossed in her own work, he hoped for their eyes to meet and for the distance to vanish.
- Rohan Bapat


It took me 7 minutes to figure out what to type next. Another couple of seconds to realize how some day in the past, we could tell how one was doing by the choice of words and emoticons. And a sleepless night calculating and analyzing what created so much distance.
..He was a good friend.
- Sahil Chandwani


Eyes, locked in a gaze.
Hearts, beating faster than ever.
He moved in.. and the distance between their lips ceased.
- Priyanka Dharamsi


23rd February, Sunday:
Stanley called Nik for a game of Volleyball & his reply was negative.
When asked about the problem, he replied-
"Problem to hamesha ek hi thi yaar… par ab wo kuch nai bolti…”
His Mother was suffering from cancer & attained peace just after the day of this conversation.
Only distances make us feel the importance.
- Shashank Mehta


Covering the distances. . .
To get 1st position in Class. . .
To get freedom in teenage. . .
To get the hottest girl in college. . .
To get the highest package in placements. . .
and at last
To get our parents back, so that we could spend some time with them!!
- Mehul Newaskar


A heart in a shell was trying hard to break through
For a long time it was kept in dark
Something was missing
That beam, that lark
Finally a day when ray falls
Mournful, it was still dark
Million colors around
Yet so alone, yet so far.
- Avinash Kashyap


She could feel him come nearer now. The air around her had shifted, as if trying to accommodate the bodies of two souls as one. She’d always heard that distance had made the heart grow fonder. She’d known that distance made the heart grow weak in its longing for that missing piece, so far away.
- Smit Patel


Distance never matters...When he was close to me I couldn't express love to him ,when we were far apart then too and now again when there is no distance between us then also I am unable to express my love to him.
- Divneet Kaur Walia

The moment I came close, she went far away. Next day, as I came close, she went away again. Today, I was far away from her and she was there at her place. Finally, I could to capture her, the so colorful butterfly. Thanks to Mumma, who got me a macro lens.

- Shruti Singh

She looks into his eyes; they are no more the same. The look that yes 'we are meant to be', once so prominent is nowhere to be found. The charm is lost, maybe inadvertently but it has. Are they oblivious of the fact that they are so near, yet miles apart?!
- Pragya Dubey

एक लम्बे वक़्त के बाद जब वो अपने शेहर आया.
उसका प्यार...
दूरियों में कहीं खो चुका था.
फासले और परिस्थिति इंसान को बदल देतें हैं
पर वो नहीं बदला था.
हॅसते हुए उसने अपने पहले प्यार का हाथ थामा
जैसा की हर फ़ौजी करता है
उसने भी अपनी पूरी ज़िंदगी देश क नाम करदी थी......
- Nikita Kumawat


कैसा ज़ुल्म यह सरहदें कर रही हैं,
हमारी सुबह शाम में भी दूरियां आ चली हैं |
- Priyanka Agrawal


यूँ तो आज हम जाने पहचाने बेगाने है..
पर जब आँखों की गुफ़्तगू मे फासले घटते जाते है,
दिल की धड़कनो का क्या हाल होता है...
- Zoya Warsi

किस्मत का खेल था उन पलो का यूँ दाग़ा देना...
की अफ़साने तो बने..
पर फासलो की गहराई मे कहानी दफ़न हो गयी...
- Divya Bharti


बंबई दफ़्तर मे कार्यरत एक नौजवान, हिचक़ियों से परेशान..
थोड़े वक़्त बाद मोबाइल पर इन्दौरे से माँ का संदेश देखा "आज शिवरात्रि है दोनो समय का उपास, कुछ खा तो लेगा ना तू? दूरिया हैं पर लग रहा है दौड़ के दफ़्तर आकर खिचड़ी दे दूँ.."
लेकिन दूरिया थोड़ी ज़्यादा हे एक खिचड़ी के लिए...
- Parag Mukadam


काग़ज़ की कश्ती में वह बैठे हमसे कहते हैं की यह समुंदर का फासला हम तय करेंगे!

Second Entries:

She didn't see it coming. She never thought this would create perpetual distance between them. And how could she. She was so drunk at that moment that she didn't even know the guy she was kissing was not him.
