Happy Valentines day

A bell is no bell 'til you ring it,
A song is no song 'til you sing it,
And love in your heart
Wasn’t put there to stay -
Love isn’t love
'Til you give it away.

this thing called love...

LOVE... some people simply say it's just a four letter word and it's----- bosh!!! on the other hand, the same four letter word occupies the whole thought process for some!!!

this thing called love... makes one admire even a falling flower... makes one to kiss the ugliest kid... makes one smile even at the extremely difficult times... makes one to hug the tiniest gift that reminds the loved one, and feel as if that's the greatest possession on the earth... makes one sleepless even after a tiresome day... makes one feel nothing is important... makes one wonder how life would have been if this is not there... makes one discover the different person in himself/herself... makes one see beauty in everything that comes their way!!!

this thing called love... makes one feel jealous... makes one feel the distress... makes one frustrated... makes one feel nothing else is important... makes one blind to realities... makes one deaf to conscience, and listen only to heart... makes one go crazy at times... makes one so sad and down... makes one wonder why he/she is still alive and for whom... makes one behave so silly and possessive... makes one forget the self and yearn to be somebody else... makes one laugh at oneself for all that stupidity... makes one fearless to death!!!

this thing called love... is so mysterious!!!

Love Actually...

Yesterday, I watched this wonderful romantic comedy movie Love Actually... A mix of different realistic situations where people are confused at the start, and ultimately find their soulmates... A prime minister falling in love with his catering manager, a writer falling in love with his house cleaner who belongs to another native language, a sensitive man who silently loves a girl who marries his best friend, and even a school boy who confidently says that he is in love with his schoolmate... well picturized with a backdrop of christmas season... "Love actually is all around" is the caption!!! I really loved this movie...

With the valentine's day approaching, all radio channels are flooding us with loads of romantic songs... 'thoo bin bathaaye mujhe lekar chal kahin', 'dil ne tujhko chun liya hai, tum bhi is ko chuno na', 'tere bind zindagi se koi shikwa nahin', 'tere bin main yum kaise jiya, kaise jiya tere bin', 'aate jaate, hanste gaate'... and the list goes on!!! each of these songs has it's own flavor of reminding those good old days, where life is just like a bed of flowers and I haven't experienced any pain of separation ever... i liked these lines of nariyalchutney in his post eX... "We always know that looking back on the tears would make us laugh someday. But we never know that looking back at the moments we laughed together would make us cry someday"... With each day passing, our perspective about true relationship may change, but the feeling/soft-corner for those eX's will always be there... of course, many will not admit it!!!

Wherever we are, however we are, and whoever with us... loving somebody makes us feel complete!!! someday, we will say "You can't imagine how beautiful my world has become eversince you walked into it... with you be my side, I am the luckiest person on the earth".

life is beautiful... love actually makes it more beautiful... love actually is all around!!!

love meets confusion meets the disaster...

recently, one of my friend's close friend has committed suicide. it was really a sad news. though it is common these days to hear that somebody has committed here or there, i feel it strongly appropriate to write a few lines about the incident.

the story goes like this... this boy is in love with his classmate since long time. the pair always say that they cannot live without each other. they proved that they are made for each other. they got married in the first year of graduation without disclosing it to their parents. girl belongs to some upper caste and boy to a backward. it is now one year after they have finished their graduation and started living with their parents. boy used to tell everything to his mother who used to be his best friend always. the problem started a few months back when the girl's parents started looking for some match for her. she couldn't convey them properly that she cannot live without the boy and that she has got married already. but, somehow, her parents sensed that something is wrong. as usual, in a cinematic fashion, they started black mailing her. her agile mind accepted their order in a confused state and got engaged with the boy(bridegroom) brought by parents. and stopped talking with her loved one. the boy somehow knew the news and approached the girl and tried his level best to convince her. he even talked to the bridegroom. but no use!!! the girl said that she dont know this boy and bridegroom said he wont object if she is willing to go with the boy. imagine the situation of this boy!!! and think of the girl's state of depressed and given up mind!!! few days after that incident, the girl has committed suicide. hearing this, the boy couldn't wait and he followed the girl's path.

the question comes here!! once we die, there is no question of how we are or whom we like or how we wanted to live... but, what happens to others who are so closely related to the died? what is the situation of the parents? how depressing it is for the friends? isn't there any solution for this? why dont people realise that there are so many good things than just love? why parents dont understand their children's feelings? the real beauty of life can be seen only through gaining experience through failures and getting mentally strong everyday... oh god! please give us the courage to face the reality!!!

i am here... i am still here... waiting for you!!!

it is been long since when we see or talk to each other... time has brought many changes... professionally, mentally, and personally... here i am with my deepest feelings which are left unexpressed to you...

you are the one who entered into my life when i was in deep distress... you are the one who understood me so perfectly than anybody else... you are the one who made my life so pleasant than ever... you are the one who can bring smile onto my face... you are the one who made a difference in my life...

when i listen to a beautiful song... when i feel a pleasant evening breeze... when i see the charming moon in the night... when i read a meaningful article... i remember you... i remember only you... i wanted to share all these things with you... immediately, i realise that you are not with me... very far from me...

i remember those days when we used to talk for hours together... i remember those days when we used to share every silly thing on the earth... i remember those days when we used to make fun of each other and yet feel so close to one another... i still remember those sensible letters we exchanged... i remember wonderful dreams we talked about...

but, all of a sudden... without a reason... forget about explanations!!! why did you run away from me? did you ever realise or doubt that you are trying to run away from yourself?? priorities change... yeah... right!!! priorities change in life... but not emotions, i believe...


i am here... i am still here... waiting for you to talk... waiting for you to open your heart... to listen to your voice... even if we are not going to meet again in life... even if you have decided not to talk to me ever... not even to think of me ever...

i am here... i am still here... waiting for you!!!

is it easy to forget someone whom you loved most?

is it easy to forget someone whom you loved most? somehow, i feel the answer is relative!!(?)

at the first place, why do we love somebody? beauty? wealth?? lust??!! or something else??? again the answer is quite relative!! to start with the basic fact that man is a social animal, we always need some company of others.. nobody of us can shut all our doors (mentally) and live for long time.. there is a constant need of sharing thoughts, getting feedbacks, pass the time, to get help and give help...

well!! the underlying fact is that we are so dependent!! yeah.. we are!! we need somebody to tell that we are alright.. we need somebody to let our foolish thoughts vent off.. whenever we find somebody who can share our thoughts, or has some qualities similar to our own, or who can offer sometime to listen to our grievances, it is quite natural to develop some sort of inner closeness towards them.. exactly, the process starts here... as the days progress, the closeness grows to such an extent that we just can't stay without sharing our every trivial thing with the other one.. if the other person is of opposite sex, obviously the feeling of closeness will not take much time to get transformed into so called 'love'!!! of course, here, i am not talking about the love that exists between parents and children, or siblings..

once we are in love, there comes another jealous devil into picture.. namely 'possessiveness'. once it enters, we start expecting many things from the relation and that ultimately leads to problems.. slowly, there comes a stage where we no longer enjoy the relationship just because the other person might not meet the expectations!! the other person may start staying away, or even completely out of our life.. but still, we love them wholeheartedly!!!

it is a fact, whether we are ready to accept or not, that it is not at all possible to completely erase the feeling of love towards that particular person.. time may soothen the pain, but cannot completely cure the problem... we will miss them every moment..

someone can break your heart!!

but, you still love them with every broken piece!!!

that's love!!

so, friends!!! do you agree that it is not possible to forget someone whom you loved most??!!!
