Intimacy , the first meaning which most people associate it with is -  Physical intimacy ,such as holding hands, hugging and kissing.  But intimacy is not only physical. For me, intellectual intimacy is more intimidating and highly appealing. I may hug someone everyday but will be instantly drawn to a person who captures my attention on intellectual level. This kind of intimacy is rare and long lasting.  One can be easily attracted to someone's smile, someone's hair, someone's voice, someone's eyes or even for that matter, someone's physique, but it takes a great deal to get caught by someone's intellect, by someone's way of thinking.  A person who will spill out the words that never found a way out from your thoughts.

It is our fear that doesn't allow us to trust others.  So a...

#Chapter 06: Taking them for granted Since the day I started going to school, I had one friend, who used to go with me in a common vehicle. We grew up together, laughing, talking , sharing about everyday incidents of school. I always loved his company as he was one of the most silent and simple boys in our batch.  He used to listen to each and every rant of mine and even remembered it to remind me years later about it. Haha! He loves reading a lot. He suggested many different books to read. He was always there, he knew me so much that whenever I used to have a bad day, he just somehow knew it. He would try everything to help me but I wonder why I never let him in to help me. We were still great friends as he always gave me my personal space. But when the time came for me to leave my hometown, it was really hard for him. He never said it but I sensed it as he had many friends but he wasn't very comfortable around everyone. As I had to go to pursue my dreams, there wa...
