What the Brain Thinks

I cried before knowing to sing, Now I sing out my pain. I stumbled before I could walk, Now I run so that I can falter. I learned to write before understanding, Now my understandings are scribbled. I spoke before thinking, Now my thoughts are silent. I made friends to share my feelings, Now we fear to reveal them. I drank to enjoy more, Now I try to enjoy, to remain sober. I loved to look at that face, Now I observe others, so I can avoid contact. I worked to earn money, Now I earn money to keep myself busy. I married because I fell in love, Now I love my spouse, so that I don't end up with someone else. We bore kids to complete the family, Now we are in our corner, while they complete The Circle .

(For those who have not seen the trailer yet) Jug is the guy who helps Kaira get over her insecurities about life. The guy who taunts you at your sad jokes. Makes you laugh even when you are going through hard times in life. The one who will cause trouble, but will also get you out of it. To put it in single word, Jug is your Lifeline. Who is my Jug? The moment of truth, people waiting in anxiety, friends hoping their name pops-up. And then I...

' Fuck you, Jai! I wish you had never come into my life ', she said and banged the door as she left. For next hour, Jai was just sitting in the corner of his house, murmuring, ' Priya, No. Priya, please '. Tears rolling down his eyes. His mind went back to the time, when he first met Priya. It was during the summer vacations after finishing his 9th grade exams. Jai was on his way to the standard 10th classes, when Priya had entered his society with her parents. He was starstruck by her.
