My most popular Instagram post recently —
Nick was watching through the barbed wire window, from the other side wall of the graveyard.⠀
After that day he couldn’t confront her, even when she was dead.⠀
They both were standing near the highway 8, car parked off the road, gates were open.⠀
It was a very pitty thing on which they started arguing. They were frustrated and hence got into this meaningless fight.⠀
Without her knowing she had moved to the edge of the road.⠀
A guy in a blue porche, was talking over phone and he too was arguing with someone over the phone. Probably another case of boyfriend girlfriend trouble.⠀
Bang!⠀
Porche hit the girl and ran over her.⠀
While Nick just froze in his feet.⠀
“Carla!!!!”, he shouted after a few seconds as he unfroze.⠀
She was not moving much, her head was smashed under the front left wheel of the porche. Blood stream came down from her head and spread covered a big part of the road.⠀
Porche guy was frozen too. But before anyone could do anything, he speed up and ran from the scene.⠀
Nick came running to Carla. He was crying like a baby saying, “Baby, get up! Don’t leave me, Don’t go!”⠀
She just said, “Remember me” as she slowly drifted into deathly darkness.
Today Nick was looking at her grave from outside, as he couldn’t gather the courage to get past the gate of the graveyard. A voice came back to his head, “Remember me”.⠀
Tears rolled down his cheeks and he swayed away from the wall.

Article(s) I’m enjoying (and pondering) —
The Neuroscience of Seeing an Ex – An interesting scientific dissection of the phenomenon of meeting an ex after long. The end of this article seems to be inspired by one short article written by yours truly.
Summary of the article – The people in our life either the ones who are there right now or an ex, play an important part in shaping and making who you are today. You are nothing but a pile of experiences.
I’m reading/watching/listening to —
Hicksaw Ridge – I saw this World War II movie this week and usually I don’t break a tear, but the performance of Andrew Garfield as the WWII American Army Medic Desmond T. Doss broke my resistance of a heart felt cry. Desmond Doss who served during the Battle of Okinawa, refused to kill people and became the first Conscientious Objector in American history to win the Congressional Medal of Honor.
This movie is directed by Mel Gibson, the legendary actor and director, who is known for producing movies of this grit. But Andrew Garfield just nailed this one with his epic performance. His accent felt very close to real life Desmond Doss, the emotion he carried, the perseverance he showed in this performance and the historical dialogue ‘Please Lord! Help me get one more, help me get one more’. It was Faith, Grit and Glory.
Desmond Doss carried 70+ injured soldiers alone from that ridge on that day of War. That is why he got the biggest military award of America.
This movie is worth the time spent. Here is the trailer to give you some chills.
Quote I’m pondering on lately –
“It is impossible to learn that which one thinks one already knows”
— Epictetus (Greek Stoic philosopher from AD 50 – 135)
Until Next Saturday!
