Sometimes I wonder, if Pain had ever been a human, It would have been a man for sure, not a woman coz women by default are soft and emotional. But I am sure he would be one tough guy made of stone, who is busy with one soul after the other with his work of just hurting and hurting deep. Well…Meet my stalker, Mr. Pain!
When I look back, I realize we have been living together for long. Not that I enjoy his company. I seem to despise him and most of the times very scared of him. But still when he is away, probably hurting somebody else for a change, I wondered about his absence. He seldom left my side but very rarely he would leave me to catch-up on others’ misery.. Otherwise, He is pretty attentive to me. He follows me wherever I go, he gets involved in whatever I do, he sits and waits when I am sleeping and jumps back to work as soon as I am awake. He is so work oriented that if he has been working for any Corporate, he would have been the best performer quarter after quarter…
I couldn’t let him go..not that I haven’t tried. I tried many ways..I tried lending him, but no one took him.. I tried sending him away, he always came back.. I tried gifting him, he was returned. Not that he doesn’t behave, but his constant nagging was deafening. Even though my friends offered to babysit him for a while, after few days, they unceremoniously left him at my door step.
He wasn’t mine. He was gifted to me, gifted by someone very very special. We were exchanging gifts. My gift was the most precious possession I had, my Love and in return I got this guy, wrapped and tied with a blue ribbon! He was then so small like a newborn puppy, tiny, sweet and nonthreatening. If one saw him then, one would never imagine the gigantic form he is in right now. He looked up to me so helplessly that I held him closer to my heart. Mr. Pain liked it so much that he made my heart his permanent home…

regardsless whether its sad or cheering... I like the way u play with words and ur creative comparisons, like pain with a guy (of course Pain is apparently a guy like Shani :P.. )
well, speaking abt pain... to keep away mr. pain one shud starve him by not feeding him with own energy, i mean as long as we pay attention to him he will follow.. once we start ignoring him, he will get bored and eventually will leave us forever... :)
I would like to see more from u..

YEAH ...
I AM MR. PAIN ..
THANKS FOR SUCH A GREAT NAME
/... but his constant "nagging" was deafening...// at least that should tell you its a woman and not a man.
Well Mr. Pain as you call it is growing on you and you have to stop letting him do that. Taking time out from your busy schedule, if you keep entertaining him, i dont see why anyone one or anything leaving your heart. where by the way you made a permanent residence for him with his name written on a door tag. -- A
