This one’s for me,you….me and you

Her sister, the mother of this child and your wife could not survive the crash.

Today she looks like a million bucks, the most beautiful woman on this earth. Today she is pious and the most precious with universe in her eyes. But only if she opens them.

The knot was tied and the vows were exchanged to give a new dimension to love as. As years passed by the bond became stronger and the love deepened. We created a life to celebrate our love and leave a footprint on the future. Each day was fun and fulfilling. She smiled, laughed with work life balance. Except for a slight hint of emptiness in her eyes, which was overshadowed by always too much going on.

She today looks as beautiful as she did on the wedding day or as sparkling after the childbirth. But when did I last stop for a moment in the morning by her side to admire her beauty, her young playful heart. Or when was the last time I appreciated her in that dress. Even though she complained I always reminded her that she was always beautiful to me anyways. But today when I notice she denies to listen.

Marriage is a tough institution. Losing track of small moments over those bigger ones is easy and natural. The emotions that brought two hearts together can take a back seat when practicality drives. There is nothing wrong or right when priorities flip, given we live in a materialistic world. But nature restores woman’s emotions despite all odds vs a man’s. She often suffers ignorance for the same but she is a fighter and keeps coming back. With an expectation of few moments as sweet and silly as those early times, from her man when they were young lovers. A common marriage phenomenon of ‘taking each other for granted’ might not have a definition for all. Appreciating or planning surprises might not be every man’s cup of tea.

But it can be as simple as looking at her and appreciating yourself in choosing her for the life. There was a time when a look was enough to say it all and that time was not silly or just immature.

If for a man a woman ‘says it best when she says nothing at all’ it holds true for men too. If words are hard to find; a look or touch is all that it is.

Its Your Birthday ~~~~

We sleep, we eat;

We play, we fight;

Loving you more each day

Is my life.

I can fight times.

As you hold me,

Amongst every tough situation passing by.

I exist until the day arrives,

When my love for you feels satisfied.

Tomorrow is my love's birthday. I wish for him the best of the world today, tomorrow and always.

This day is the most important day of the year for me, and I mean it. More than the day I was proposed or the day we got engaged or the day of our marriage. After all, we were destined for each other. This all would not have been possible without your birthday.

To My Darling Sister

It has been almost two weeks since I wrote a post. Life is super duper busy with too many things going at a time. But today is very special. Its my little baby sis birthday. And miss her and the birthday party ;-) Well so I celebrate it my way. Here it goes ----

!! A very happy birthday to my dear darling baby sister !!

Hey sis - I wrote that in blue your fav color


It has been more than a year since I have seen her and I miss her a lot – my little baby sis..muahh! I am here, working in California and she is back in India, so a lot of distance to be travelled for a weekend trip :-)

She is only 4 yrs younger to me but has been pampered a lot…less by mom dad and more by me. Never mind, you deserve it. Love ya. There is not much we have in common except that we love each other a lot – Unconditional. And that is enough for a lifetime.


You are a river boat when am a thrill ride
You are the catch when am a strike
You are the eye when am the sight
You are love when am life


We fight and argue on our points
As we are two different souls and minds


You are my blood and equally stubborn
But at every intersection
The heart feels the connection
I cherish the journey when you do the destination
You settle for awards when I celebrate nomination


Nothing can set us apart forever
No matter we were born different altogether
Our love is enough for a life
You love life when I make it smile

Love Life

I have a long commute to work everyday on train. At least once a month, a suicide or an attempt delays the service and leaves me thinking what makes people do so.


Life is the ticket to the biggest show on earth.


Nine months in a mother’s womb, dark and congested is what it takes for the first glance of the world. The world out there, putting together the best show on earth is beautiful and ugly, happy and sad, simple and complex. Every life on earth is an important element of this masterpiece. No one ever said life is going to be easy. But it’s always interesting - happy or sad, but always exciting.


Being born was not our choice. How do we get the right to make death a choice? Closing the book of life at a sad chapter is like leaving the book incomplete. And incomplete is never satisfying. Life can be very stressful and painful and it’s easy to have devastating thoughts. But the winner stands strong and the loser falls to fail. The bad thing about good times is it passes by fast. But the good thing about bad times is that it too passes by.


One life one world! Love and respect this great creation to live it to fullest.

Breaks

The weight of some words change in no time. It seems it was yesterday when she and her gal friends made plans to hang out and have fun during summer breaks. Winter breaks and X-mas fun was ever awaited with every year. It’s hard to forget the college semester breaks. Loaded with fun and fuss. These memories are so sweet and afresh, seems like it was yesterday. Relishing old memories and I get two calls -


Call 1: I am devastated. I broke up with him.
Call 2: I was breaking off on the interview call. They got frustrated and ended my interview. I lost the job


Two different kinds of breaks and both left my friends morose.

And that’s when I realized how good were times back when breaks brought a smile over what break does today to grown ups.

Summer breaks, Winter breaks, Semester breaks v/s Break ups and Break off

Celebrating Valentine's Week: Love To Me #4 Is Magic

Avatar the all time biggest movie! Titanic the history maker!


A common factor in both the films was the human touch and the love quotient. Not for a single moment could I take my eyes off the screen while watching any of these movies. On one hand the production grandeur was spectacular and on the other the love trail left me speechless.

A unique world full of life and light! The neural network spanning the entire planet and the Na’vi tail connection thought, though bizarre but was heart touching. No wonders, a dreamwalker in the mystical Na’vi world could not hold back himself from the heavenly beauty and aura. As I write to describe, I can revisualize every frame of the film. This is not the first movie with great special effects and alien world story. Similarly, Titanic was not the first film with grand production and best music, though the second most successful until today. So what have made these creations history?

Can Titanic be imagined without the passionate love of Jack and Rose; the frame where Jack gives away his life to save hers and she loved him for the rest of her life? Can Avatar be imagined without the strange bond between every element of Pandora’s biosphere; Na’vi queues connection; the tree of souls; Neytiri and Jake ?

It’s the humane substance, essence of love and spirituality which made both the films immersive.

Believe in Love! Believe in Magic!

Celebrating Valentine's Week: Love to Me #3 Bittersweet Chocolate

They who say we do not fight do not know what love is.

Loving is not about agreeing on everything. Rather indulge and discuss. Argue to understand each other better. Saying a yes to everything without it being acceptable is loosing. And love never calls for loosing your own self. Not to forget, when we love someone we accept them as they are. Neglecting being your true self shakes the foundation of love.
I love you more each day and it grows with every passing moment. The joy of being together is immeasurable. But at the same time it not always is a smooth road. Love is indeed about ‘being one’; but two individuals work together to achieve that. This journey is not easy and goes through a lot of ups and downs, angers and discussions, fights and tears. As said –

The course of true love never did run Smooth – Shakespeare

And after all, you don’t need to be on the same wavelength to succeed in love. You just need to be able to ride each other’s wave. Hmm …easier said than deployed :-) . One of the other challenges is to know when to pull the plug. There is an easy way out – Never sleep over it. Never go to bed mad, stay up and fight. Always start the day with the fresh scent of love.

So, Love is a bittersweet chocolate; just can’t get over its indulgence

Celebrating Valentine's Week: Love To Me #2 Love v/s Infatuation

“You don't have to sit on top of a mountain to discover what's right for you. You always know in your heart what you need to do.” -- Liz Dolan

She asked, “How do I know I am in love and not infatuation? Is he the perfect one? Should I fall in love?” Probably these questions bother many before making a commitment. She gets stressed and restless and desperately needs a break, from everything. She wants solitude before making a decision. The solitude baffles her more. As a friend I wanted to help. It was hard to tell her that I understood what she was going through. As I did not.

Love is not a decision, it happens. It is about no expectations and no complaints. It’s pure and innocent. It’s the feeling where you admire his imperfections and desires the best for him.

Choosing the right one for life is difficult but choosing the perfect one is not. As there is nothing perfect. Love is like piano-playing. It takes finesse to master. It’s like a marble which can be carved beautifully.

Infatuation is about you and me. Love is about “US”. As it is about being one, it outlasts everything. One only grows in love and never falls.

So now you know when it is infatuation and ain't love.

Celebrating Valentine's Week: Love To Me #1 A Strange Feeling

 

“They do not love that do not show their love” -- William Shakespeare

“To love is nothing
To be loved is something
To love and be loved is everything”


Being a part of this ‘everything’ and remembering what Shakespeare said about love, I decided to utilize this lovely Valentine’s week to collect my thoughts and feelings to put together in words what Love means to me.

Love is the strangest feeling one could ever experience. It is the biggest weakness and strongest strength in an individual. She waits for one meeting for years without a single glance of him. And she shatters like glass with that one touch of love. He fights against the world to make her his. And he cries finding her in pain. The opposite polarity of this emotion makes it complete and satisfying.

They say love is blind. I honestly disagree. As I believe it just changes the perspective; for good. Doesn't it make you feel happy all time? Doesn't a thought of him bring a smile amidst all the world worries? Doesn’t it exude positivity? To most the answer to all these questions is - "YES". The life today is busy and hard. A step out and a competitive cruel world awaits. As ‘No time for love’ gains popularity, loosing on emotions and sensitivity is the cost being paid for success and numero uno race.

Love: An exuberant blind strange feeling is a blessed fortune.

"Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts."
-- William Shakespeare

The Bond Of Love

The celebration of love never ends

It’s once again the time of the year and it's the strongest scent

She whispers her desires and he is all ears

She shares her dreams and he closes eyes in prayer

He holds her close and admires her desires

He looks into her eyes to get inspired

She is a river, she is life

He is the sea and the beat of life

They absorb each other, living in together

For today, tomorrow and forever

You are my husband and I am your wife

This bond of love makes it reach new heights
