Can you quit..?

"Just tell me what happened will you?" Jia asked..
"You know na we've been fighting a lot lately about his smoking habit.." Meghna said distressed..
"Look Meghna its hard to quit smoking at once when you're so addicted..You have to work this out with him,just reason it out with him..I am sure he'll quit eventually.." Jia said looking at her watch,10 minutes were left and the OR would be ready..
"Its not that J its..its just that...." and Meghna broke down on the floor crying..
" Is everything alright Meghna ? Don't cry.. come on now tell me...Heyyy..! come on now, you can tell me,whats wrong?." Jia said quite shocked by the sudden outburst of her friend..
"Today we were fighting about something again and..and.."Meghna said sobbing..
"And what Meghna come on..tell me.." Jia said concerned...
And i screamed at him about his smoking habit and he shouted at me back..and..and he coughed out blood..It was blood..I don't know what this means..But...but..th..this..this can't be happening to me Jia..I mean this can't be the end of us..I know i have always fought with him about everything but..but...."Meghna breaks down again not knowing what to say next but somehow she knows she is understood by her oldest and trustworthy friend..
"Meghna look..look....you just bring him here and we'll carry out some tests on him..Let me see what i can do..I'll make sure i put the best hands on this one..You..you just keep your cool everyday okay..So he's coming tomorrow for the tests right?? "Jia said..

 *I hope its not lung cancer..I just hope its not..not Dinesh..Please god not him..* 
J thought to herself..

Everyday she met people with the same symptoms,people who smoke..People with families and friends who fought with them just to make them quit..And people who dint give up smoking because they felt it was the way out...
People with lung cancer or chronic bronchitis or Emphysema..
And people who couldn't quit...

 "I..I haven't discussed this with him..He thinks its nothing..he just..just said that it happens everytime and i just..just don't know how to deal with this..
I just dint know what to do..I..j..i don't know..he'll be okay right..?I just broke down crying in front of him and he...and he dint know what to do,he just thought I'm over-reacting and held me in his arms and i hated it..I hated it J....because this...this is not me right....she said sobbing...  I don't cry..i am not a crier right.I know what to say...I...I am a lawyer..i..i fight..i prove people wrong..I..I..i don't know what to do.."

" Don't break down like this Meghna.You have to be strong, just bring him here today.. Meghna you get that..just bring him here now..go back..go to his office and..And bring him here...We'll do the tests and..and I'll see what i can do.. "
Jia said thinking about Meghna and Dinesh and how they've fought their way through their marriage and how strongly they felt for each other...
She did this almost everyday and was experienced enough to understand what this symptom meant but somehow she hoped against hope that this smoker be spared....

Monday blues..!

Today while coming out of my Biology tuition I slipped but then I somehow regained my balance.!! Yes I slipped again..!!A year back on my 16th birthday I slipped and fractured my ankle!!Actually it's my fault only there are two staircases in my biology tuition both leading to the exit, one is the normal kinda stairs which we generally have and the other one is a spiral staircase which opens outwards (yes you can even see the sky from it's broken corners!) but it doesnot even have a railing in some places and it's extremely narrow(exactly the size of my foot!!yes I did measure it!!) and steep!! So as you may have guessed by now I regularly use the spiral staircase!!Girls in my tuition can't even think of using that staircase and I don't know why even guys don't use it!!(maybe they are scared!!).. I really don't understand why I love those 'danger stairs' (yes my friends call it that) so much but I actually do..I remember once when I was about four or

Just As long as we are together

This is a poem i had written when i was in the 6th standard and our group nearly broke.....I admit This poem has lots of flaws and abstractions but for me this poem really means a lot..... I remember the time we were standing with our faces to the sun.. Picturing our times to come Many a clouds have passed by since we stood under the same sky Talking in the summer sights.. Howling at the city lights I still remember the time that passed.. Pulling pranks just for fun Summer vacations were such a blast the kind of memories that will always last.. Growing up in future seemed such a thing We thought we knew what it would bring.. The stars seemed so clear from our domain.. I sure could handle some of those good times again.. Even if our dreams still seem far away.. Our friendship is always here to stay.. Until we are all gone.. The roads between us will never be too long...... I have been putting this off for quite sometime now, thinking I’d write this post “later” but I figured there is no

Aaj fir ek cigarette...

Here's a poem written by my friend who is trying to quit smoking and below it is my reply poem to him ... Aj fir ek cigarette jala raha hun,, uski nazar me ye ek gunaah hai, mai to uske waade bhula raha hu,, Aj fir ek cigarette jala raha hu.. samajhna mat isko meri aadat,main to bus dhuaan ura raha hu, ye uski yaado ka silsila hai, mai uski yaaden jala raha hu.. mai peekar itna behek chuka hu ki gham ke kisse suna raha hu.. agar tumhein bhi ghm hai to aao,main pee raha hu aur pila raha hu... ek cigarette ki shama k bahane main apne aap ko jala raha hu.. Aaj fir ek cigarette jala raha hu.....                                                                                     ~ Akash  Gam ko aasuyo se na piya toh kya piya.. gam ko zindagi mei na badal diya toh kya jiya..  Gam ko dhuye mei urane ki addat nahi humko, hum toh isi dard k nashe,ki addat mei jiye huye hai..!
