For Apoorva, Meraki is not just a blog but a glimpse into her world of stories and poems written with a touch of imagination and reality. A place that is a blend of love, smile, emotions, introspection, and above all an escape into a utopian world of self!
Take a plunge with her words, get transported to a different world, and feel the bliss of writing!
Beneath The Gulmohar Tree
In the depths of a drawer of an old chest, resides a diary that still exudes the fragrance of a love tale written in 1947 — love in the times of Partition. A story that springs from the summer of 1944, but witnesses the winter of their love during the Partition.
But as Neruda says, “Love is so short, forgetting is so long.”
When Meera finds a hidden letter in her grandmother’s chest, she is opened to a plethora of questions, probing her to unfold them. Thereafter, she embarks upon the journey to know about her grandmother’s past, her family’s history, and most importantly where is her grandfather.
Sometimes it is difficult to pacify your turbulent heart. But once you have the courage to let your words come out, they carry your pain away in the blowing wind.
It is always better to do what your heart says rather than cry for it throughout your life.
We as humans are so flawed that in times of adversity, we find a way to escape, and while doing so we don’t even remember to take others along. We are so fragile that in hardships we crumble and fall — not just physically, but with our conscience as well.
