Life goes on....(Part-4)

I had the most loving grandparents in the world. Not talking to them for a day used to make me sad. But the situation had changed. Nothing really mattered to me except my friends and Harish.

One week before the exams, Harish called me and said, “Nysa, I am really disturbed. Can we talk?”

“Why not? What happened?” I replied.

That day we talked the whole night and it continued for the whole week. I didn’t care about my exams, not even my goal. I wasn’t prepared for the exams but the basics I knew helped me to pass. The results were out. I was just passed but I didn’t care about it. I was extremely happy for Harish as he had topped the university. I thought that it was time to confess my feelings for him because it was his last year. I was prepared mentally for it. I planned to invite him for a cute date. I looked at the mirror and fixed my hair.

Suddenly my phone started to ring and it was my brother. I ignored the call and switched off my mobile. Fixing my dress I got out of my room.

I searched for Harish and got to know that he was in the classroom. I saw that the classroom was empty. Harish and Asfand were talking. And surprisingly they were having a conversation about me.

“Harish are you serious about Nysa?” Asfand asked.

“Why?”

“You both are really close and I think that Nysa likes you.”

“You think that?”

“Yes.”

“That’s what I want.”

“What? Why do you want that?”

“Miss Nysa Frank, High school topper. She topped the university in the first three months. How could I let her take my place, huh?”

“What do you mean, Harish?”

“Asfand, girls are really weak. Two emotional lines and they cry for you. I did that with Nysa. She can never be the topper. I am the topper of this university since two years. I have made a new record. Yes, Nysa is a bright student but she can never be the brightest.”

“Oh Jesus! Were you using her?”

“Yes.” Harish replied seriously.

Tears rolled down my eyes. Streams of tears flowed faster than my heartbeat. I sniffled quietly. I looked away as my face turned red. My chin trembled and my vision was blurry. I ran towards my room and locked myself.

AIDS

 “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” These words were spoken by Martin L. King, Jr.ring so true in my mind today, as I write about the very burning topic of today’s generation “Discrimination against people living with AIDS”. We’ve heard and we’ve learnt about the discrimination done based on caste, gender, job, religion etc. but isn’t it a bit surprising that even people infected with some disease are being discriminated. The person who is fighting with a life-threatening disease is not being treated as a normal human, rather they are being abused, violated in our society. We all know that AIDS (Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome) is a sexually transmitted disease caused by HIV(Human Immunodeficiency Virus). This disease acts like a slow poison and interferes with our ability to fight against other diseases. More than a disease, AIDS has now turned into a stigma and yes, this stigma is not only in underd...

Life goes on....(Last part)

It is impossible for me to remember how many days or weeks went by in this way. Time is round, and it rolls quickly. Today I am Dr. Nysa Frank. I am a neurologist. I have my own clinic in Texas. Everything has changed. I topped the university in the last year. Like my challenge Harish wasn’t able to do so. It really didn’t bother me because I had forgotten everything and moved on. As time passes memories fade away somewhere deep within our heart. You must have suddenly smelled a perfume and been reminded of someone, listening to a particular song you must be remembering someone. That is it, those memories dug deep inside us and try to carve themselves out into your mind. This is what it is called, as time moves…situation changes and life goes on. This is not only my story. It’s for everyone. No one has a perfect life; it is just made to look perfect with right people and thoughts. May be all you need to do to fix problems in your life is to just erase few messages, delete few conta...

Life goes on....(Part-6)

  After sometime I remembered about my grandpas’ health. Immediately after that I called my brother. “Hello, Nysa! Where were you?"He said. “Nick! Where is grandpa? Is he fine? Please let me talk to him.” “Nysa! Calm down. Everything’s fine. Grandpa is much better now. I am confident that he’ll recover fast if you talk to him.” “Yes."Tears rolled down my eyes. Nick handed the phone to grandpa. “Grandpa?” I cried. “Talk to me. I am sorry. I am really very sorry. I was distracted. I was lost somewhere but now I am completely fine. I love you grandpa.” “God bless you, my love. You can never get distracted. You were just going through the test of your life and you have passed successfully. I am proud of you.” A flood of tears gushed down my ashen cheeks. It was painful for me to talk to him. Once that first tear broke free, the rest followed in an unbroken stream. I bent forward where I sat on the floor and pressing my palms to the mat, I began to cry with the f...
