Res
unres.
Do cheezain toh decided hain. 1. I dont unres unless blackmailed and 2. you write the best drabbles ever.
I am super sleepy, again. And the entire imagery of this was so arresting, so alluring, I could almost see that glazy haze you get in front of your eyes from the heat when the mirage appears. I love how nothing is the same ever since she has come. How even the most mundane things, most obvious things feel different. How the change is within but is reflected outside. That's the magic with your drabbles. A few lines pack sooo many emotions and feelings inside. A few simple words strung together just create these contrasts that leave one gaping. I love how there is a direct connect to him being like the desert and her, her blue isnt like that of the sky, nothing like he is used to.
I love these lines:
The skies. The skies had definitely changed color since she came into his life.
But what he felt when he looked at her was far from the clarity of the blue skies that the desert was so used to.
and then this:
He'd be reminded of how mirages worked.
This particular one I think would stay with me for a while just because I know the story behind it, the emotions, the fears, the trepidation. How not knowing and living with a lie or an illusion is better than to be confronted by a bitter truth. How a broken man thinks twice before he dares to dream again. And then the ending, oh the ending. I love how he tries desperately to rationalise it. How that is exactly how he would quieten his soul, the tried and tested excuses.
where he would be allowed to drink her in as much as he would want, to satiate the thirst that he had been nursing for a lifetime.
And I know I have never said this about anyone of your works before but I love love love the use of the word ALLOWED. I think it speaks volumes of who he is and what he believes himself to be and his views on fate and everything. It's like he believes he deserves to die of thirst and he deserves this life.
I'm sorry for being weird and strange. Like I said I'm sleepy and this is super awesome. Also just on a side note, I have been singing blue hai paani paani in my head for a while now. Aap awesome ho Shrimati jee.
