You

Everyone has a story to tell. Everyone is a writer. Some are written in the books, and some are confined to hearts.

Prologue

I was never a writer and I dont aspire to be one either. I was never a good reader and I dont know if I will ever be one. But now, I have been much more.

Every day, I woke up; I tried to find reasons to live. Every night, when I slept, I tried to find reasons to not die. Every moment, I tried to find reasons to hope, dream and love. But I never found them. Until I met you.

I saw chaos, confusion, and fear all around me. But not within me, after I met you.

Time decides our fate, our journey. And when time changes, everything changes. Everything. Sometimes for worse, sometimes for better. And sometimes, for the best. I never believed that. Until you happened to me.

Its not a story and maybe its not love. Its about something more real than stories and more powerful than love. Its about you. Yes, you. Real and powerful.

I have never been happy with someone . I wanted to be with different people at different places with different feelings. I wanted to explore everything, know everyone. But then I explored you. And I found you are not just ONE, you are an infinity. An infinity of love, care, trust, respect, understanding. A universe of inspirations, aspirations, hope and happiness. Maybe you are the universe out there which I explore. Or the universe in me that I seek.

You do not start, nor do you ever end. You are constant, yet ever changing. You are everywhere and yet just with me. You are my creator or my creation, I question myself.

Meera

Whats Your Story?

I had always been inspired by storytellers. I loved my job as an HR manager. It allowed me to interact with different people from different places, each one having their own different stories, bringing their own songs to the dance.

Life was a chaotic struggle, trying to search for where I belonged and who I was supposed to be. Each person I had interviewed had his or her own fascinating story, which made me wonder: whats my story? I didnt want to be normal, just like so many people I had met in life. Being only twenty-six, I wasnt exactly sure what the meaning of my life would really be, and where I could find it.

Every weekend I found myself sitting and listening to amazing authors at the caf Coffee & Us. I was drawn to authors, fascinated by their ability to create other peoples stories. How could they draw the truth from each individual and build a beautifully woven tale? I guess, having stories stuck in my own soul was the reason I needed to hear other peoples stories. But I didnt just want to hear stories; my heart was aching to tell a beautiful story which would change peoples lives, or at least mine.

So there I was at Coffee & Us, my hands wrapped around a warm, soothing cup of coffee. I could listen to the world around me, hear the songs of life, or I could put my earplugs in and mute out the world. I had seen so many writers come through these doors, and often I wondered if this caf had some magic within its walls.

Kabir, the manager, paused in his duties and addressed me. When are you going to stop dreaming about being an author, Meera, and finally write a book?

His voice might have sounded stern to an outsider, but Kabir had become my good friend. Im not sure when, but at some point while I was becoming a regular visitor to his caf, our casual interactions had blossomed into a warm friendship. He respected my opinions, and I treasured his.

I dont know, I said, frowning.

I ran my fingers through my long hair and let out a frustrated sigh, looking around at all the people in the small caf. I think I will know when it is the right story to write. I just havent come across it yet. Im still searching for that unique story, the one that will inspire me to take that next step.

He strolled to the counter where another cup of my favourite coffeea frothy cappuccinowas placed. Kabir set it in front of me, smiling gently. I am sure, one day, I will be here, pouring coffee and fetching people their orders, as I listen to you up there. The place is going to be packed; you will see. He smiled at the thought and I wondered for a moment if this was my dream or his. Of course, as friends, even our dreams would work in unison, wouldnt they?

Still, I lacked the confidence he seemed to have in my future success. As much as I wanted to take that next step to give my words the life they deserved, something held me back. I glanced over at the small area where so many writers had stood, taking a small sip of their ice water and clearing their throats before speaking the words I craved to say.

I dont think I would be good enough to stand up there and face the world and a group of readers. It must take a lot of courage for them to do what they do, I said, blowing on my coffee before taking a tentative sip. I smiled as the frothy bubbles clung to my lip and licked them off delicately. What if someone laughed at what I wrote?

My friend chuckled. They would only laugh if you were reading something funny, he said confidently. Now, tell me, are you coming for the authors meet next weekend? he asked.

Definitely, I said.

What would the weekend bring for me? Would I still be lost in search of my story?

~

Live life in moments, not in days or years or your schedules. Its our misconceptionmost of the timethat we live our lives the way we want. Every single step that we take is influenced by others. Only the part that we hide from everyone else and keep deep within our heart, is our own. I strongly urge you all to realize that hidden part of yours. Go, live that part. Live your life. Dont let your dreams die within you. Trust me, your struggle, your fight, will be worth the risk in opening yourself up. Get up. Inhale the air of passion. Start your journey. Grab your dreams. Enjoy your mistakes. Dance to the rhythm of your heartbeats. Smile. Laugh. Love. Live.
