'What,' he echoes, shaking his head. After a long second, something snaps in him. 'I know you don't feel the same way I do. About us.'

“Vaishusmriti (The Sonnet)

Those few afternoon trips back from uni,
With her head on my shoulder, were utopia.
My stomach was bursting with butterflies,
But my lips could barely utter a word.

My shirt got seeped with her intoxicating scent,
But her heart was posted to another man's mail.
Yet how can you begrudge someone you once loved!
It's okay to lose your heart to the wrong people.

Hadn't she rejected me, I'd have ended up
yet another nobody in the sea of engineers.
When life shatters you to a million pieces,
Get up and give back life some middle finger.

If you must love, love without any agenda,
If they love you back, your heart grows softer,
If they break you, your heart grows stronger,
Either way, in act of love there is no failure.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Vande Vasudhaivam: 100 Sonnets for Our Planetary Pueblo
