No Regrets

When you choose to ignore the signs, despite knowing the truth behind
this is the result it yields.
You cry, curse and regret the decision, which eventually led to this situation.
You wonder what you could have done to avoid this condition.
then you realise, blaming the past, is not a solution.

Sometimes you need a jolt, to see the clear picture,
Coz you know it is for your own future.

Once upon a time, a boy didn’t know how to love. He figured he would learn the process and nuances with time and use it to find the girl of his dreams.

States sealed their borders and transport came to a halt. Little did anyone know, at the time, the effect it would have on the lives of migrant workers, left to fend for themselves. With all avenues of making money shut, many agitated workers staged demonstration, demanding trains and buses to transport to their native places. Several thronged to the railway and bus stations, flouting social distancing rules and putting themselves and others at risk, all in vain. Clashes erupted at many places including Mumbai and Surat, forcing the police to resort to lathi charge. PM's slogan 'stay home, stay safe' meant little to these workers, who had families to feed.

Whenever Aditi expressed her desire for something, Anil would put her down saying, it would affect their relationship. It kept her confined and stopped her from fulfilling her potential. Yet, she said nothing. Over time, Anil felt as if he was the sole decision-maker in their relationship. Whether it was a decision about choosing a restaurant to eat or picking a holiday destination, it was he who made them. This affected her confidence and lowered her self-esteem. One day, her friend Shikha visited her. She noticed these patterns and told her about them. At first, she didn’t believe her, but with time, she began to notice them herself.
