Aamaar holo shuru ... Aamaar holo shaara ...

I have a beginning ... I have an end now

RIP

this is the end of innocence

RIP

hide n seek

ever played this game? or had it played on you?

you found a really really good hiding place. really really really good.

little scary.

but not unlike the other places you had found earlier.

you crouch. foetal position.

you can hear the countdown ...

5 day

4 day

3 day

2 day

you wait ... bated breath ...

hush ...

now??????

no no ... not yet ...

you strain to listen ...

you can't hear a thing ...

meanwhile its getting darker ...

you start getting slightly worried ...

it can't take so long ...

were you too smart?

nah ... the fun of hiding is in being caught ...

did something happen to your mate?

oh silly me! imagine me playing this game when he needed help!

you venture out ...

everything is silent ...

quiet ...

you call out ... no reply ...

no sign of your mate ...

you search and search and search ...

call again and again ...

leave messages around ...

the echo point is no good ...

call, call ...

you start crying ...

now you are tired ... and lost ...

that's when it sinks in ...

no one is looking for you really ...

he left the game long time back ...

he found it silly ... twisted ...

a toxic waste of time ...

he had said he did not want to play it for too long.

but you had thought he will start to like it too.

the way you did.

you feel stupid ...

you always went looking when he hid ...

maybe he will come ... you hide again ... you don't know where to go to look for him anyway ...

this game has taken a lifetime ... it has taken your life ...

now hide little one ... play smart ...

how foolish it will look!

you hid ... but no one came to find you ...
