Love tales

 He began as a quiet boy in school corridors—Anju, Bismi, Rahmath, Niha, Lakshmi, Rani—names that lived softly in his thoughts, where love meant silent glances and unspoken feelings.

As life moved into diploma and college days—Lovely, Asha, M of Matskan, Jayashree, Golda, Nisha D—emotions grew a little louder; some leaned towards him like Asha, some remained gentle what-ifs that never found their moment.

Then came the phase where feelings slowly found expression—Reshmi, an incomplete beginning; Lekshmi, a spontaneous first kiss that came like magic and disappeared just as quickly; Tasli, Jisha, Thasni P T, letters, small talks, and a quiet belief that maybe they felt the same too, even if nothing was ever clearly said.

During his engineering days, there was Baby—she came suddenly into his life asking for help through the internet, stayed just enough to create a silent bond, and then quietly left, leaving behind a feeling that never needed words. Life at a time ridicule and bet on him, his manhood. Connected with good friends even supported and that made a different world open.

Time moved forward, and some connections became real—two-way emotions with July, Najma, Soumya, Hasna, Kiran, Abcy, Anna—each one deeper, more alive, where love was not imagined but shared, felt, and lived, even if only for a while. But truly, honestly the entire life adventurous and connected one is Anna. The experience and memory is too emotional.

There were also the quiet supports—Bibitha, who stood by through calls with understanding, and Ajna, whose care was steady and gentle, asking for nothing in return.

And then there were fleeting moments—Pallavi from Bangalore, a two-hour call that felt meaningful before fading into silence; Arunima, who connected but slipped away; Keerthana, a one-hour conversation that came and went like a passing breeze—short stories, yet complete in their own quiet way.

None of these were grand love stories. No dramatic endings, no lifelong promises—just soft, silent, almost invisible connections. Love that existed more in pauses, in unsaid words, in brief timings, and in memories that never demanded closure.

And in the present, when the one who was meant to stay slowly grew distant, when silence replaced what once felt certain… all these names—old, new, real, and almost-real—returned, not as pain, but as warmth.

Because his life was never empty of love—it was simply filled with quiet love.

So he moved forward, not chasing something loud or permanent, but understanding something deeper—

that even the softest, shortest, most silent connections can stay forever, shaping a heart that still knows how to feel, even in silence.
