I know right! I mean if you were going to make it tragic at least make it look tragic!
Erm, I don't know I think this is where the story stands for now :)

It was really interesting. I'll be honest I had to read it twice to understand, but I loved the concept. The whole piece does kind of leave you thinking, which I think was your aim, so that was good. Will be looking forward to reading more of your stuff 😊


Thanks! I'm glad it made you think :)

Very poignant. And quite realistic, hence believable! Loved the reference you made of Titanic. And that you used Leo's name and not Jack's. Might have had a different effect altogether, otherwise. Very simple story of a girl refusing a ride from a former best friend turned (not) boyfriend. And how that very refusal turned into a promise (of sorts).

A great read on a (very) late Sunday night or early Monday morning, to each his own -perspective.

A hearfelt thanks for a heartfelt story.

p/s I honestly don't see it as a sign of weakness you picking out a song title as the title of this story. Quite the contrary, it's a brave move. Trust your instinct! Besides, the song is fantastic. My favourite part

Zinda hoon lekin woh baat nahin hai

AND

Meherbani nahin tumhara pyaar manga hai (the line of the song)

AND

Dil jaasbati hai majboor nahin hai

All in all a rather ironically apt song. Which comes to show that it takes certain perspective to interpreting the song and thus your story.

I loved this OS...You are the one of those writers whose words forces the readers to acknowledge the different realities and different perspectives...Everytime, after reading your work, I feel like I have learn something new...And I love the fact that even some words of yours can make me feel that, esp when many books of mine make me feel the contrary ...!!! lol

Loved it... It was a nice change from all the heartbroken break up one-shots... Its a nice coincidence actually... I've been thinking about perspectives these days and then I came across this... Thinking a lot clearly now... So thank you for that... :)
The story is great... I love the part where she is possessive about the bench... Its true how even loneliness can be helpful at times... They were best friends and I guess he also came there worried for his best friend rather than an ex-girlfriend...
"I'll call you when I get home," I changed perspective, "Don't worry I'll be fine,"
Satisfied, he smiled
Loved this... Maybe they can find their way back to each other as friends...
Lovely one-shot... Hoping I would get to read more from You... :-)

And then perception was visited by Shweta and it ended up looking like this. Breathtakingly honest.

The difference between loneliness and solitude is same as you said, difference between luxury and need. Now which is which, I think your perception will know what mine is. This part, though just a little bit in the beginning, is profound. You used 2 key concepts and made them one, Perception and being alone. They both came together with such ease. And one does not exist without other.

And then the surprise part, bff turned bf turned ex bf turned friends? 😊 So now that you wrote this one, it made me wonder, is it easier to fall in love with a good friend or become good friends after falling in love. Perspectives are so cheeky and tricky. They are the true grey, the shades of in-between.

I love your take on perspective Shweta, down to the reference of wood floating mechanics of the titanic, the unsinkable. 😊

In the end, hope reigns, and that makes me all fuzzy and happy. 😆

And yeah, you need to write more often.
