Um ... Dhurandhar. A Western view.

कभी कभी बहुत सताता है यह सवाल मुझे कि, हम मिले ही क्यों थे जब हमें, मिलना ही नहीं था !!!💔💔💔

Sometimes it's better to just let things be. Let people walk away. Don’t chase Closure. Don’t demand explanations. Not every silence needs an answer. Not every story deserves a proper ending. Not every feeling needs to be understood...

The Folder Called “Hope” I kept sending memes to my old office friend after she left the company. Mostly typical Indian office stuff chai breaks, boss jokes, “Monday blues”, and those relatable HR emails. “Tu yeh miss kar rahi hai 😂” I’d write. At first, she replied with laughing emojis. This went on for months. Then suddenly… silence. No replies. I assumed...new job, new circle, new life. Our inside jokes? Probably gone. But I still kept sending memes. Once a week. No reply. Still sent them. Felt a bit stupid… but couldn’t stop. She was my work best friend. The only one who got my humour. Six months passed like this. Then one day, out of nowhere: “I'm so so…” Message ended there. But it felt like a ray of light after a long blackout. Later, she explained: “Sorry I disappeared. I was going through treatment. Depression got really bad after I left the job.” She said something I’ll never forget: “Your memes were the only thing that made me smile some days. I used to read them even in therapy sessions. I saved every single one.” I just sat there at my desk… silent. Had no idea she was struggling. No idea those silly memes meant anything. “Why didn’t you tell me?” I asked. “I couldn’t tell anyone,” she said. “But knowing someone still remembered me… still tried to make me smile… it helped more than you think.” Now we meet once a month. Over chai, not coffee. She’s doing better. One day she showed me her phone. A folder named: “Hope” Inside? Every single meme I had sent. Hundreds of them. “On bad days, I scroll through this,” she said. “Reminds me… someone cared enough to keep trying.” I still send memes. But now she replies. And now I know... Sometimes the smallest things… like a random meme, a “kaisi ho?”, or a stupid joke… ..can quietly save someone’s day❤️
