फ़ोन की बैटरी और प्यार
Usne last message bheja -- 'I think we should talk.' Mere phone ki battery 2% thi. Charger ghar pe. Main bus mein. Pura rasta socha -- 'talk' matlab kya? Breakup? Serious baat? Ya bas baat karna? Phone dead hua. 45 minute ka rasta. 45 minute ki bechaini. Ghar pahuncha. Charge kiya. Phone on hua. 'I think we should talk... about getting married.' Maine phone phek ke usse call kiya. 'HAAN!' Woh hansi. 'Maine pura message likha tha par tune 45 minute reply nahi kiya. Socha tu bhi soch raha hai.' 'Nahi. Battery dead thi.' '... romantic.' Humari proposal story yahi hai. Battery dead. Bus mein. Koi ring nahi. Koi knee down nahi. Par pyaar ki stories perfect honi zaruri nahi. Real honi chahiye.
