He stared back at me with a similar mix of emotions. We were actually not going to be roommates for long.https://blog.karthikrp.com/posts/love/Mon, 24 Jan 2022 22:18:47 -0500https://blog.karthikrp.com/posts/love/Love. It is very hard isn’t it? Being in love. It certainly brings unbound joy and amazing experiences on several occasions. But sometimes, it only gives you pain and sadness. And during those especially sad moments, it is incredibly painful and agonizing. You can tell fairy tales are made up simply because most of them do not talk about these hard times. They mostly focus on the happily ever afters.https://blog.karthikrp.com/posts/images-in-the-rain/Sun, 02 Aug 2009 22:03:14 -0500https://blog.karthikrp.com/posts/images-in-the-rain/It had been an unusually hot afternoon. So, it was no surprise that it grew dark and cloudy by late evening. With hardly five days left to start, I had to get a photocopy of all the important documents. But by the time I decided to step out of my home to do my task, I started to drizzle a lot. Therefore, I went back home, ditched my plans of going to the photocopy shop by my bike, took an umbrella and decided to walk all the way.
