..I didn't know it then, but now I can say, the worst you can miss anybody is to miss someone who is very much around.
.. Your first F-grade is much like your first fk- It breaks a certain barrier between a resistance and a routine.
.. I moved out of the room, and started walking. The breeze was slow and cold- like the one that they say brings back memories. I had had enough of nostalgia already. I paced up. I wanted the wind to hit me like a storm, and not like the last of her words to me. But the wind, slow or momentous, was on her side. I stopped. "Enough!"- I shouted. It didn't echo.

:D Awesome post. Made me nostalgic, but good, nevertheless.
(Are these excerpts from your previous posts? Or general excerpts from the good old life? Liked them all!)

Thanks! Didn't know nostalgia can be infectious.

They're a refinement on some raw pieces from the good old diary. Glad you liked them!
I loved the third extract. :) That's so right about certain kinds of breeze bringing back memories that were long forgotten.
The third one is outstanding, reads like a piece out of some literary masterpiece. One really needs talent to capture {and pen} things, emotions and events like that.
The second one is more worldly, perhaps more like the quotes from Debonair or some other flashy cheap magazine for people who have nothing better to do.
And I hope, that, as you'll start getting more mature, you will stop writing lines like the first one, which is more of the kind you read everyday in the ToI Sunday supplement.
Good. Keep writing like that.

Glad you liked it. :)

I think you didn't take the first one in the right context. (I didn't mention the context, so it's no fault of yours). It was not about relationships and blah. It was simply about how people change, how they develop an impenetrable personal space. We're talking about two friends. Men. If it were a book, I think I'd have been able to include this line rather elegantly.
To a certain degree, I agree about the second one. It was more about the F-grade though. I remember the effort I had put in avoiding my first F-grade, and how later on I didn't. Never read Debonair, but yeah, I've been watching a lot of movies which use the narration style, and such dialogues in the background sound interesting- they can't pass as 'literature', I agree. But it's only a blog post! Thanks for the honest opinion though. :)
And one big THANK YOU for your comment on the third one!
