The Mask

Have you seen his mask fall off and reveal the true beauty? Have you ever seen a guy open his heart in front of you and shown the tiny bits of his emotions? Have you ever heard about the things that he loves the most and those that hurt him? These pieces are probably the best things to listen to. In this world where they are expected to show their strength, witnessing their vulnerable side is an experience itself.

The way he will talk about what makes him happy with that shy smile and twinkle in his eyes will make you most patient listener in the world. The way he will blush on telling you about the little things he likes about you and the hopes that he has will probably sound better than the sweetest of poetries. The way he’ll brush his hair aside and with a slight smile check your reaction will show his innocence. He’ll hesitate to open up because that is something that he has never done, but when he does, you’ll know what the true definition of a beautiful heart is.

Not only will his hesitant nature be beautiful in its own way but also pure. It will be pure because not everybody would have had a chance to enter his heart. It’ll amaze you when you would know things that he feels and thinks and how pretty they sound. Trust me even the annoyance and hatred that he hold will sound something real when he lowers his voice and keeps his heart in front of you.

It is a rare sight that you get to know about his fears. His fears of failing his people and the fear of losing what he cherishes the most. That fear is a sign of his fragility, those broken lines that allow the light to enter and make life a little brighter. It shows the love that resides in his heart. The best part will be when he will talk about the hopes he has and the dreams that he wants to turn into reality.

What will make you feel happy will be the little things he appreciates about you, little things that make him happy. He may not do this regularly or talk easily about everything that he has in his heart, but when he does, listen. Listen to the lowest of rhythms and sing along every beat.


He may be nervous and have his own fears, but hold his hand and let him know that his heart is the prettiest amongst the art that resides on the planet. Cherish his idea of this vulnerability will make you go weal in the knees and the reason why you’ll want to believe in him, forever.

The Unidentified Road

May 2015, wow! It has been 4 years since that day when my parents asked me if I really wanted to do engineering. Flashback to 2013, 1...
