He tried his best to start in a positive note. And it went well for two days but one month into the semester, unfortunately for him everything turned as he expected, worse. He was now into his second year of Engineering. And he knew he lost himself somewhere in these two years. He regretted not being able to do what he loves. His interest died everyday within himself.  Things had fallen off with his girlfriend. He missed his home, his family. He was becoming timid everyday. And being a loner didn't help him either. It was unbearable for him already. So, he decided to take a day off from college and went to his favourite place to find some solitude. Little did he know probably this is the day after which he is going to see life differently.

    It was a spot from where the whole city could be seen. He was completely lost in the serenity there. When he heard a voice.

    "Hi! Can i sit here?"

    "Sure!" He said in a muffled voice.

    "Ansh." He said extending his hand for a handshake. Which also got warm  but silent reciprocation.

    After a bit of awkard silence. Ansh decided to break it.

    "You don't talk much do you? Anyways I see you come here often and alone. You don't have any friends?"

    "I have. But I prefer coming here alone." He replied to Ansh with a smile.

    After a bit of conversation, Ansh was quick to ask if he is going through some dilemma. Although unwilling at first but he decided to open up due to Ansh's persistance. He told how his life had fallen apart. How he felt so alone here and missed his family. And how he is filled with guilt for letting go his girlfriend.

    "You see there!" Ansh said pointing to the jam on the national highway. The N.H saw an accident which had resulted a jam.

    "You see everyone is trying to push through but no one is able to. Who would you blame. Noone is in order. Even if you bring one car to line, this will go on. Now see those dismangled cars there. If you take them out and free up that space. Traffic will be normal shortly. Now replace those cars with your problems. Sometimes in life we try to get rid of the problems at once and fail. That's because there are certain problems that make a bigger impact and need to sorted out first. And many other problems will go away with them. You have to identify those problems. Don't keep running like your clock all the time. Stop for a while and ask yourself. What do you want to do in your life. Because at the end, what matters is your happiness. Are the consequences really more important than that? And If you love your girlfriend, don't let her go. Issues can be sorted if you try but if she goes, you might one day not miss her but you will always miss the way she made you feel. You don't let your best person go like that. Talk to her."

     He didn't have answer to Ansh, just nodded in approval. Ansh left shortly after while he was just looking how cars tried unsuccessfully to push through. And then a towing van took out both the cars and the traffic actually became normal in no time.

     While returning he was thinking what Ansh said all the way. This incident made an impact on him. And by the time he reached his hostel, he had made his mind that he is going to reconcile and try to fix the pieces with his girlfriend.
