A Journey Through Time: Reflecting on the Past, Rediscovering the Blog

Yagami Light, is a name that resonates with many. I am an ardent admirer of his intellect and the captivating world he created in the series "Death Note." Inspired by his brilliance, I too strive to accomplish great things, and I refuse to accept failure. My unwavering belief drives me forward.


Just last week, I found myself in Kollam, participating in a fiercely competitive intercampus football tournament. The games were intense, and as fate would have it, I endured numerous injuries – ligament strains, muscle cramps, and even a twisted bone. It was perhaps the most physically demanding experience of my entire sporting career. Astonishingly, the doctor commended me for my determination to walk despite the severity of my injuries. While the prescribed bed rest spanned four weeks, I managed to convince them to allow me to return to Bangalore. The entire episode remains shrouded in mystery, known only to me. Sharing this information now would only create unnecessary complications, best kept hidden until a more opportune time.


Interestingly, during my stay in Kollam, a fairytale-like character, captivating and enigmatic, crossed paths with me. Her presence added a touch of enchantment to my journey, leaving me to ponder her purpose and the secrets she held. For now, I tread cautiously, choosing to keep this encounter as my own personal mystery, untold and unrevealed.


Amidst the tournament, I harbored a fervent desire to speak to this fairy tale girl, believing that our conversation would ignite a flame of victory for our team. Alas, my attempts to reach out to her were met with silence. Countless messages went unanswered, thwarted by the unfortunate circumstance of my phone blocking her texts. Regrettably, Neethu, as she is referred to, remained uninterested and seemingly distanced herself from any communication. I apologized inwardly for my inability to rectify the situation, as circumstances demanded otherwise. Perhaps Neethu attempted to reach out to me, but my request for a call deterred her. Additionally, I understood that she held steadfast to her promise to her sister, refraining from contacting me through any means.


In the end, despite our efforts, we succumbed to defeat in the finals, a bitter pill to swallow. The victory was within our grasp, but it slipped away like a wisp of smoke, leaving us with a sense of unfulfilled potential.


But let us set aside these reminiscences for now. My thoughts are fixated on the future and the plans that lie ahead. Today, I found myself in the hospital before returning to my local guardian's home, contemplating whether I should share this blog with the fairy tale girl or keep it hidden. My mind oscillates like a pendulum, unsure of which path to follow.


Plan A:

On the last day of college, I intend to share the blog's address with Anu and our friends. Hopefully, they will read it in its entirety or at least partially. Anu, I believe, will urge the fairy tale girl to explore its contents. Yet, I suspect she won't read it, convinced of her disinterest. To ensure she encounters it unintentionally, I will also send the address to Neethu's Gmail account. When she opens it at home, the address will catch her attention, and she will inadvertently click on it, glimpsing the beginning of the blog before closing it. Alone, after everyone departs, she may find herself drawn back to it, reading the blog in its entirety. Will she choose to keep her discoveries to herself, insisting she hasn't read them? The ensuing confusion within her, caused by my writing, may lead her to repeat the same denial.


However, a concern nags at me. Will she appreciate my intentions? Sharing this blog with Anu and our friends may stir emotions within her, and I hesitate to burden her with such feelings. No, I shouldn't trouble her.


Plan B:

Once the exams are over, I contemplate a direct approach. I will confess the existence of my blog and offer her the option to read it, leaving the decision entirely up to her. However, I question whether this revelation will have any impact on her at all. Perhaps it would be an exercise in futility, yielding no desired outcome.


Plan C:

Alternatively, I could confide in Akshay, entrusting him with the responsibility of sharing the blog, while I remain silent. I might even introduce Veena into the equation. Yet, deep down, I sense that such a plan would only lead to further complications. It appears best to discard this option.


Plan D:

Among the various ideas that swirl in my mind, one intriguing notion emerges. What if I were to provide the blog's link on Orkut? Or, dare I suggest it, create a harmless virus to post on her ID? Each time she opens her email, my blog would greet her. But no, such actions feel cheap and cruel. I refuse to stoop to such levels; it goes against my principles.


As my mind swims in a sea of thoughts, undecided and uncertain, I must remind myself that the future holds its own mysteries. The path I choose will shape not only my destiny but also the lives of those involved. Patience is key, and in due time, clarity shall prevail. 

May your own journey be filled with enchantment and captivating revelations,
