Unka naam dimag mein aata hai.
Dil thoda sa heavy hota hai.
Phone haath mein uthta hai.
Aur phir… wapas rakh dete hain.
We miss people. Deeply. Honestly.
Par call nahi karte.
Strange, na?
Hum unke saath spent moments ko repeat karte rehte hain — late-night talks, chai ke beech ke silences, woh random laughter. “Kal call karunga,” bolke mahine nikal jaate hain.
Problem yeh nahi hai ki hum busy hain.
Problem yeh hai ki hum vulnerable hone se darte hain.
What if woh busy hue?
What if conversation awkward ho gayi?
What if they’ve moved on and hum wahi ke wahi reh gaye?
Bollywood ne sikhaya tha ki ek call sab theek kar deta hai.
“Bas ek phone call kar lo.”
Par real life mein phone uthana itna cinematic nahi hota.
Yahan ego hota hai. Silence hota hai. Unsure endings hoti hain.
Hum assume kar lete hain — “Agar unhe baat karni hoti, woh call karte.”
Par shayad woh bhi wahi soch rahe hote hain.
Whytho truth yeh hai:
We don’t avoid calls because we don’t care.
We avoid them because we care too much.
Miss karna safe hai.
Call karna risk hai.
Miss karna private hota hai.
Call karna answers maangta hai.
Isliye hum stories dekh lete hain, last seen notice kar lete hain, par number dial nahi karte. Kyunki kuch rishton ko hum memory mein perfect rakhna chahte hain, reality mein test nahi.
Par ek baat yaad rakhna —
Jo log dil ke itne kareeb hote hain,
unke liye ek awkward call bhi worth it hoti hai.
Kyunki kabhi-kabhi,
connection toot ta nahi… hum hi ruk jaate hain.
