Have you ever seen inevitable personified? We keep writing about standing at the edge of the abyss, just like movies, but never address what happens after slipping from one. It is just like the taste of cyanide – unknown, until one fine day, someone survives the day just to tell the world if everyone before him tasted a sweet, bitter, or sour death. We keep testing our limits and pushing further and there’s just so much life can take, and the limits let loose and you free fall from the abyss. Standing there, with an aimless heart and a blank mind and absorbing the utmost beauty and solace of nature’s waterfall while sliding inch by inch by the back force of the same water, somehow the entire scene out of a movie set seems extremely inevitable in retrospection.

You cannot help but get consumed in the moment to unravel the mystery behind the charming eyes or the occasional smirk that has left you intrigued the myriad of times in the past. Probably you have hardly noticed his existence in the past few months. Probably you have just felt his presence but have failed to acknowledge his being altogether. And then you speculate and put together the pieces of the aenigma together. To think about it, there actually has been multiple occasions that your eyes have searched for him in the ...
