Love Personified

Hari Om! I bet the whole city remembers how you greeted people while going to the temple every morning for the last two decades. Same old school routine like a monk!  Waking up early at the crack of dawn, bathing while humming that holy chant about Gangas and other rivers and how you were grateful to be breathing in this air every day, then wake the whole house with your spiritual bells and holy chants. In that saffron  dhoti  and golden or sometimes white  kurta  with a matching saffron shawl wrapped around your neck, how can I miss that huge U-shaped chandan   tilak  on your forehead and that grey beard and mustache! I am still waiting for you with your favorite  malai-chai at  your spot. his usual spot in the house . When I learned that you were gone, You were in ICU for 15 days then. I was in quarantine far-far away from you. For another few hours, my brain couldn't register this information. I went numb! Incapable o...

Tonight. I finally cried. You ask why? I guess I finally let everything go. Those emotions I held back accompanying the darkest secrets in my heart. Some tears finally crawled up to my waterline and fell right on my cheeks, cheeks you love to kiss ! I was alone with my deepest thoughts when my heart screamed for help! But I saw you walking away.. further away. All I wanted was you to hold me tight, tell me I'm safe within you. I wanted to weep in your arms till I forget why. But.. You know.. Your heartbeat is my cue.. when I hold you tight.. it whispers 'you're home'! But the forehead kiss tells a different story. It confuses my heart. 'Cause I can't look into your eyes so closely. Why.. maybe 'cause I'm too scared that you'll read me and know my vulnerabilities. You're becoming a part of me. A habit, A need. Though you're not supposed to know this. I couldn't keep it inside anymore. Just so you know.. Tonight...

Dear Younger self, You probably won't recognise me with all the scars on my face, these tiring eyes and a figure that went south while trying to make a living for myself in this fast paced city. But I am not ashamed of any of it, I love them all. They represent all the hard work and struggle in making me what I am today. I proudly wear it all. When you wake up tomorrow morning cherish the moment because in a couple of years you will be waking up to an empty room with strangers. Its a total bliss to be in the presence of your loved ones, you are going to miss that a lot. This feeling of being able to call this place your home will be missed when you will go to your flat every night tired alone. Take your time, one day at a time. Do everything that you always wish to do for Mum and dad. Go make him a cup of Tea and cook lunch for them, hug them tight and fall asleep beside them. Its the one thing that you're gonna miss the most. When you go to school tomorrow, don...

Know who you are, Know what you want, Know what you deserve. And never settle for anything less... Hello friends! Have you guys ever dreamt of becoming a person of your dreams? Where you will have everything you ever wished for. It might be a supermodel, a singer, an artist or an engineer. It can be about traveling the globe, starting a blog or a youtube channel or starting a business. You do have one! I have! I know most of us have come across this situation in our lives where we know what we want to do and how to do it. But, there is always something that won't let you achieve your dream. I mean we all have been through this, like on a regular basis in small daily things. Remember the other day when you were trying to wake up early in the morning and there was a long list of alarm in your cellphone, but you still couldn't wake up. Yes that's one but there are 'n' number of things in which we fail everyday. I mean its okay to fail, we can rise when we f...

Often we people wander all around the world in desperate need of jobs and money. Some of us even agree to leave our families behind to look for career options. Sometimes I don't get the concept behind this trend. Speaking of the latest fashion in which youth wants to travel the world for their career, I have seen so many parents waiting for ages for their kids to return home. Mr. Mehta was feeling helpless with his old eyes while searching for his glasses. It's kind of blurry without them. After a lot of struggle, he found his glasses and took a sigh of relief. Mr. and Mrs. Mehta stay alone in an old apartment in New Delhi. They are the proud parents of a 35-year-old son working in London. Rahul is a married guy and a father of two beautiful girls, he is working with a top MNC in London. Whatever he has achieved so far is because of his parents and he understands that. Rahul is a self-centric person who is ambitious and hard-working. It's a once in a blue moon event wh...

"...I hate you" said Diya to Jai and hung up the phone. She was shattered, regretting her words for Jai, punched in the wall with the right hand. She almost got hurt while this aggressive act that she leaned against the wall of her bedroom and slowly slide down crying hardt of her lungs. She sat on the floor, holding her legs tight in her arms such that her face was resting on her knees, she was looking down crying, her hair covered all her face. Suddenly she looked upward, her gaze lifted up to the ceiling as she wanted to scream loud but she can't. She was sobbing hard. So weak to sit that she fell down crying on the floor, her throat was soar, lips got dried, eyes were red and filled with tears, she wants to cry more but her body was tired. She fall asleep. Sound of lightening and roaring clouds filled the room and she got up frightened, she found herself lying on the floor. Her clothes were all messed up, her hair were tangled, her face looks even more beaut...

It was 5.45 in the morning the sun rays through those glass windows strike at my face so it was irritating enough to wake me up.   I opened one of eyes with laziness filled in it, I didn't want to wake up so early. I managed to place my palm as an obstacle that can stop sun rays from irritating my eyes. But this couldn’t help. I got up a little and bent on my one elbow and try to face the window. “I have to put those curtains on” I muttered.   As per needed I got up and shut those curtains. I was calmed. The darkness of the room makes me want to sleep again and so I jumped on bed again. I was in heaven. It is the best feeling everyday when you got some extra time to sleep. I turned back and smiled like I was never this much happier. It was him, sleeping.. he was so cute to wake up. The love of my life is with me. I looked at him with lil teary eyes. His hair were all messy, I still love them.. his big black eyes had big eyelashes and these eyes felt so pleasing to me when I...

Samantha was doing her office work, suddenly the light turns off. Almost threw her spectacles on her desk, hit the pen hard on the wall. She got panicked, she stepped outside.. It was raining.. She loves rain. The most beautiful season for every lover. She felt the scent of wet mud in her nostrils, she closed her eyes, smiles like she never before.. The cold breeze was flirting with her hair.. The rain droplets was kissing her cheeks.. She could feel the love in the air..it reminded her of Ross. It was a cloudy day in Newyork. Samantha and Ross was first met. It was during his first day at work. They were friends before over a social networking site and planned for a meeting.

Samantha look overwhelmed by the work load, she might be on a deadline for her work. Her face shows how overstress her life is. But Ross was completely mesmerised by...

The post is a little long, but I am sure at the end you will feel it was worth reading it. Few months back I read a quote that says- I spend a whole day thinking about it. Then I decided to make this challenge. However, I love the idea of having a sort of competition with yourself where you have to not complain about anything in your life for one whole day. I thought its way to easy but it wasn't. Here is what I learned- I Complain a lot. Like most of people I do complain a lot. Complaining is our default setting. I know preventing yourself from complaining is no easy feat. For most of us, complaining has become habit—something we do automatically, without even thinking about it. We also complain to avoid responsibility for our own actions. Like, "I missed the bus, I'll be late for work." However, you choose this. You could choose another transport or came on time, But you choose not to. Whatever is happening in your life is your choice. I ...

From time to time, we all get a little down, maybe even a little depressed. Maybe we feel bad that we are not doing well with our goals or feeling overwhelmed. There may be many reasons for being depressed like Relationships, Career, Health, Job etc. We know being depressed about our problem wont give us the solution. So if we could find a solution without feeling down why get depressed? What I can talk about are some things that worked for me. Feeling down is a total normal thing for everyone. But feeling a little down can interfere with achieving our goals. This could last longer if we don't take action. Here are some things that could help you as they worked well for me: 1.Make a list Sometimes we are depressed simply because we are overwhelmed with all the things we have to do that we haven’t gotten around to doing. Start simply by picking up a piece of paper and a pen, and making a list of the most pressing things you have to do. It may be some personal stuff...

Do you think the universe fights for souls to be together?  Some things are too strange and strong to be coincidences. -Emery Allen The first time when you start liking someone, it is obvious that you start thinking about him/her all day and night. And what you do when you have gone too far thinking about being with them is you started thinking about your future with them like you will be together until death seperates you or something like a fairy tale in which the Prince and the Princess happily ended their love story. But when things didn't worked out, unfortunately you start believing that he/she wasn't "made for you" or " you were not made for each other" and exclusively the word "Soulmate" was used thoroughly. And you move on to start a new relationship. Do you ever think upon the term "Soulmate"? When you get into a fresh new relationship you start believing that your beloved and you were meant to be together...

Breakups are normal, Its not the end of everything you have. When you broke up with him everything looks wrong, you cry all night hiding under your favorite pillow thinking about all your crushed dreams and the sweet-sour moments. You listen to his favorite track on a repeat mode, eat lots of ice cream, keep looking for his call and thinking about why this happened? But this is not the right thing to do. It's completely okay to cry about it.  You're hurt so you will feel upset. For the first few weeks its going to be a lonely and a long journey. Cry hard as much you can because at the end of it you'll get sick of it and it will end then you'll realise that its a temporary phase. Be postive. If he doesn't want you back don't feel unwanted or worthless. Open yourself, gain some confidence and see there are plenty of people wants you in their lives. Spend time with people you feel better with. Communicate with social networking sites. Go shopping,...
