It's Music, Play It! Celebrate the World Music Day!!!

It's World Music Day Today! The 21st, June' 2007.

Music........a great reliever, a great connector, a great inspiring thing, a great energizer, a great escalator, a great fun, etc, etc, etc.......and so many other heavy nouns & adjectives that one can remember, all can be pleasantly, rather musically, attached to this word.

On the personal level, I have been completely into music, not making ;), but listening..................for years & years and today it feels that its an inseparable part of mine.

I don't know when I started listening to it but as long as my memory goes.....there is music, music, music & more music......even more.

I remember when I was very young (8 years back), I used to sing. I used to sing on stage, I used to give performances in contests, public gatherings, etc. etc. But it's past now.

It is a very known & experienced thing that when one enters the teen age lots of physical changes take place. And I was no exception. And for me.........there was a change in my voice too.........from sweet girly-girly (yes truely) voice to still-sweet but boyish one ;)

But do I care? Na. I still manage to sing when I am alone. And I have broken so many mirrors already.......ha ha ha. Just kidding.

And today.......it's one of my most 'active' activity. I just can't help it. I don't want to.

So on this musical day all I will say is.................Keep humming, keep crooning, keep singing...........in short.......Keep 'MUSIC-ing'.

la la la la la la lalalala...........la la la la...la la la la.....lalala.................:)

Cheers!

Sorry - To BE or Not To BE

Million dollar word.
Anything wrong......sorry.
Anything not working......sorry.
Anything working......still sorry.
Anything needed......sorry.
Need another chance......sorry.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
And voila......things settled as desired.

A 5 letter word with 5000cc Horse power.
A 5 letter word with lots of oomph in it.
A 5 letter word with an ability to express the innermost feeling.
A 5 letter word......powerful than anything else, literally.

We all use this word. Every day, every other moment. But do we really mean it EVERY time?

Sometimes it’s used as the shortcut to make up things, some time just for formality, and sometime just to please others.

Sorry literally means……Feeling or expressing regret or sorrow or a sense of loss over something done or undone. Feeling, you read that? You need to feel it. Hope you get the point.

When it’s said with immense sincerity & innermost feeling, it will show in its each letter. It will express the inner self of yours. And I am sure it will solve any misunderstanding/problem.

So, use it only when you mean it. Else it’s just like cheating with your words. Hope, you don’t like cheating!

Cheers!


P.S. Could had written this post very nicely in more than 10000 words, but just keeping it short & unstructured this time.

It's Now or Never! It's Time.

How many times you wanted to do a thing, but couldn't go ahead.

How many times you wanted to say something to someone, but couldn't go ahead.

How many times you wanted to roam around freely, but couldn't go ahead.

How many times you wanted to raise your voice against something, but couldn't go ahead.

How many times you wanted to do be yourself, but couldn't.

How many times, how many?

I understand its human nature to always look for success. We all hate failing, don't we? It's good at one place but at times it may (read:will) hold you back from what's waiting for you. How? Just think....we wait for the right time to do something. And we keep telling our selves, "its not the right time, Let's wait a little more". But that 'little' turns out to be too long and the time passes and passes and passes. And when we realize that bingo! its the right time.......it gets too late. And then we have nothing left than being sorry. Sorry to self.

Always remember, "An extended wait is not patience, it's delay."


So please,

When you think you have to do a thing.............just go ahead and do it.

When you think you have to say something to someone.............just go ahead and say it.

When you think you have roam around freely............just go ahead and free your wings.

When you think you have to raise your voice against something............just go ahead and raise it with confidence.

When you think you have to be yourself.............be.

Time once gone can never come back, value it!

Wishing you all the best!!!

My two cents,

Happiness is a voyage, not a destination. Find out the ‘The’

It was one of those sweet moments which came after a long time for me. I was on a 2 days off again. It’s not that I don’t take leave but this time it was a little different. I had gone to Deoghar to my parents on their memorable wedding anniversary. Instead of celebrating with tens of people we decided to be with god & nature. We moved to Parasnath. I have been there so many times but this time it was after a gap of 4 years. I felt again that it’s one of the most beautiful places I would ever visit in my life. Parasnath is considered one of the most auspicious places for Jains. Few people also call it the Macca of Jains, no wonder why. The atmosphere, the scenery, the peace, the excitement all grips you so much that you feel you have suddenly come to heaven.

We decided to go by road and the journey was a mere 2.5 hours long. But for me, it looked that I have travelled ages. If my memory goes right, it must have been 8-10 years since I travelled by road in such a manner. It was a sheer pleasure this time. It was summer at its peak with blazingly hot air, but still it didn’t seem to bother me much. Why? B’coz I was completely in the nature. I kept looking outside and as far as I could see it was green, green and more green. People were seen busy in their daily hustle bustle of life but at the same time they seem to enjoy whatever comes their way. They were sweating, they were tired but they had a streak of smile on their face every other moment. By looking at them one could very easily identify if they had enough resources to eat twice a day or not but still they were as agile as they can be. Agile enough to face and at the same time enjoy life. It takes great courage to live your life in limitations.

While in the car, I just kept looking around making sure that I don’t miss anything. It’s my habit to look deep and try to see the unseen, something which is not visible but can be felt. One thing I realized, again, that what matters most to people is not leisure but happiness. No matter how the life is, no matter how the day is, no matter how the night is, people look for happiness and they work very hard for it. There are few people who keep crapping about the problems in their life……..I feel sick of my life, I am not earning well, I have a pathetic family, I am not doing enough for my family, my sister has to get married but I don’t have ‘enough’ money for a royal marriage, I am not satisfied with my job, I don’t have responsibility in my job, I have to take so many responsibilities in my job, I proposed someone but he/she rejected my, etc, etc, etc. And then there are people who want to be happy in whatever way possible…….my life is great even if I don’t live a royal life I am enjoying every moment of it, I am earning nice and I just have to carry on this, I have a lovely family and they love me very much, I am planning to marry my sister next month; the ceremony would be very simple but would be very alive, my job is nice and I am very satisfied with it, I am happy that at least I could express my feelings to the person I love, so on and so forth. Now you better know which of these two groups is happier.

I was just going through an old presentation last night which also says…..”Happiness is a Voyage not Destination”. So true! We need to learn to ‘be’ happy rather than thriving for happiness. I know it’s easier for me to sit here with my parents and key in these thoughts than to go and face the various nitty-gritties of life. But still the question is, is it really so tough to be happy?

Once we entered Parasnath, we could sense the sweet fragrance in the air. It feels as if flowers are floating in the air all around and you can’t help but throw your fist in the air to grab some of them. I did. The place is completely surrounded by the holy mountain on one side. It’s tall, it’s green, it’s enchanting, it’s so close to you that you feel like going ahead and embracing it. The mountain is very auspicious b’coz it has in it many holy temples. People get up early in the morning, around 4am and get ready to mount it in a group of 5-10-20-50-100. It’s mere 27km...9 km upwards, 9 km scattered & 9 km downwards. Scared? No need to be. Once you start mounting it you forget all these stats. It’s green, green & more green all the way through once again. People keep chanting religious Namokar Mantra, bhajans, etc all the way through. And you certainly realize how beautiful nature is when it’s left un-tampered. Why do people cut trees, Why? All in all it’s a complete ‘fun’ time being there b’coz....b’coz it gives you happiness.

Though we didn’t mount as we had not planned for that in advance and also because we had to leave the very next day, but suddenly I happened to ask my mom, “Maa, can’t we stay here for a week more at least?” And before I could wait for an answer I, myself, replied…………”Aha! May be some other time.” And we all smiled. I wished if I could freeze the moment.

We returned back by road, again meeting life in its various faces on the way. I remember that while returning back, we had run out of water. We stopped by a hand-pump and I got out with the empty bottles in my hand. Before I could approach the lady filling up her bucket on the pump and ask for her favor, I could see her pushing her bucket aside and giving me the way. I can’t help but stand for few seconds and realized the hospitality. I took the bottle to the pump while the lady pumped it until it was full. I just thanked her and was back in the car. I turned back and saw her back to the duty. It was raining fire on her head and she had 10+ buckets besides her. But still she had a smile on her face. Hats off.

Don’t we all have to carry on our duty everyday but most often than not we start feeling tired? Then...then we complain, my life is not happening, the job is very monotonous. I want to switch to a newer organization at least it would give me some fresh moments and when that starts boring I will switch again. And the chain continues. I am thankful to god that I don’t suffer this phobia. For me life is beautiful and it gets better every second. I just happen to live it in the best way. Not much of beguilement but enough to enjoy each bit of it. Job…………I just love it. I make sure that at job I don’t work rather I play. And that’s what keeps me energized. I don’t work because it’s my duty, I work because it’s fun and it gives me happiness.

We finally reached home and we all were very happy about this small trip. We didn’t carry any cam else I would have put few snaps of the place here. And today when I am writing this post, I can very clearly sense the fragrance following me even here. I will remember this small trip for a long long time.

That’s it. A small post on a small trip.

Did this post seem like an over statement of a small thing?

Or, did this post seem too much tilted towards the happy parts of life?

Or, did this post seem like an exaggeration on anything?

No matter what it felt to you, for me it was just an attempt to focus on the happier side of life. And for me this post ‘again’ gave me few streaks of happiness and every time I read it I can’t help but close my eyes and feel life.

Now the question is, what is ‘The’ most important thing in life: Being Happy with what you have OR Striving for the unseen? Close your eyes and Think. The choice is always yours.

Cheers!

How Do You Know When You're In Love?

How Do You Know When You're In Love?

How do you know when you're in love?

Is it the crazy things I do?

Is it the fact that my heart skips a beat
every time that I think of you?

Is it the fact that I can't sleep at night
when your image is in my head?

Or is it the fact that I can't stop smiling
after every word that you've said?

Is it the need to hold you in my arms
and keep you there forever?

Or is it the fact that I wrote you a poem
and sent it to you in a letter?

Is it this awful feeling deep inside
whenever I have to take you home?

Or is it just being here without you
that makes me feel so alone?

Is this hunger deep inside
that longs for your kiss?

I feel so happy sometimes feeling that I'm in love
for there are so many things I would miss.

But still I am not sure if I am in love, am I?

Har khwahish puri ho, jaruri to nahin (Hindi Poem)

Khwahishen hazaron hai in aankhon mein,
Manzilein lakhon hai in rahon mein,
Par har woh dagar apni bane jaruri to nahin
Har umeed, har khwahish puri ho jaruri to nahi.

Manzilon ka kya hai, har taraf bichi padi hain,
Ye to khud pe yakin ho ki pa lenge unhe,
Kosish nahin himmat karle had se jyada khud pe bharosha chahiye,
Har muskilon ko paar karle aisa dilon mein hosnla chahiye,
Fir bhi kya pata kab kis mod pe
ek aisa manzar aa jaye jo ye sikha jaye
Ki har woh manzil jo apke samne hai use paya jaye jaruri to nahin.
Har umeed, har khwahish puri ho jaruri to nahi.

Rahon mein kayi muskilen hain, raho mein kayi faslein hain,
Kuch idhar kuch udhar har taraf uljhe se pade hain,
Par fir bhi dil mein tamanna hai, dil mein yakeen hain,
Ki angaroon ko chuna hi nahin unhe apna banana hain,
Unhi angarron se baagon mein ful khilna hai,
Chal pada, nikal pada, khud pe yakin aur khud pe bharosa kar ke,
Par fir kahin kisi mod pe ek anjazana sa woh ehsaas
Ye bata gaya ye sikha gaya,
ki har yakin hakikat mein badle jaruri to nahin
Har umeed, har khwahish puri ho jaruri to nahi.

Sapne maine bhi dekhe hain, sapne dekhna chahta hun,
Sapno mein khud ko jina aur khud mein sapno ko jina chahta hun,
Par kya karun kisse kahun ki woh sapne,
jo kisike saath dekhein hain unhe aklea nahin jiya jaata,
Badhaya hai jo haath maine unhein thamne wala ek haath chahiye,
Unhe pura karne ke liye unhe jine ke liye, ek saathi ka saath chahiye,
Par jab woh na mila jab woh na dikha
to fir ye dil ko samjhaya,
Ki………………………………….jaruri to nahin.
Har woh khwab jise dekhe hai who puri ho jaruri to nahin.

Na pure ho sake woh armaan,
Na puri ho saki woh khwahishein,
Jin armanon mein khud ko piroya tha,
Jin khawahison se khud ko bhigoya tha,
Aaj un ke bina un se alga ho gaya hu,
bhid mein bhi tanha reh gaya hun
Fir bhi chehre pe wohi muskaan hai, chahe hi dil bhale hi ro raha ho,
Kyunki apne aansuon apni taklifon ko jahan ko dikhaya jaye jaruri to nahin,
Har umeed, har khwahish puri ho jaruri to nahi.

Par fir bhi dil mein kahin ye yakin hain kahin ye viswas hai,
Ki zindagi imtehaan le rahi hai,
khud ko samajhne ka mauka de rahi hai,
Samajh raha hun, samajh gaya hun, aur age bhi samajh lunga khud ko,
Bhale hi ye khwahishein puri na ho, na sahi.
Bhale hi ye sapne adhuri rahe to ye hi sahi.
In ke sahare jite aya hun, in ke sahare hi ji lunga.
Aur jis din alvida kehne ke samay ayega,
in khabon in manzilon se ek baar guftgu karunga
Aur ye kahunga ki….
Mana ki har woh khwab jo dekha tha woh pure na ho,
Har woh manzil jis ke liye badhe the apna na ho,
To kya hua,
Khwabon ko ji lo, manzilon ko chum lo,
Kyunki aaj ye mahaz khwab hai,
Par hamesha khwab hi rahein jaruri to nahin.
Dekh lo inhein, ji lo inmein,
Kyunki har khwahish puri NA ho, yeh bhi koi jaruri nahin.

If you want to be understood………Listen

A small child hiding away from his brother under a mountain rock to give himself some momentary pleasure,
A young but already separated couple taking a tour together and still thinking why they are together again,
A deaf and mute girl with extreme s-e-x-ual desires imputable to others' rejections,
And so many other small things which are so true, so real.
That’s Babel.

Last weekend I saw Babel (Hollywood, 2006), starring Brad Pitt & Cate Blanchett. I saw it not because I am a Brad or Cate fan, but more because of it’s outstanding performance at international film awards ceremonies. And as because I had read in advance that this movie has won 15+ international awards, I had to feel the class too. (B’coz I wanted to convince myself that I understand movies too. Does it happen to you too?) And yes, it was in one of my favorite theater ‘Nandan’, Kolkata, India.

The film looks at relationships, from husband/wife, parent/children, brother/sister and plays around the themes of love in adversity. I will like to mention few incidents from the movie to point out few things about us.

Two some 10-12 years old brothers in the deserts of Morocco quarrelling over the newest .270 caliber rifle which their father bargained. The elder being elder tries it out first but is not as skillful as the younger one. Their decision to check the long distance hitting capabilities of the rifle shows the inner intellect of a young mind, the curiosity, the excitement the young ones have. And just in the course they aim at a tourist bus to see if it reaches it. They are disappointed. We all love to judge things, we all love to judge people.

Some where in US, a maid is nursing the two young kids scared of some past brutal incident. The tenderness the lady shows to the kids makes you feel blessed and you can’t help think of your childhood, putting your head on the lap of your mother. Eyes wet already?

Cate feels something on her neck. It’s bleeding, bleeding heavily. Oh my god. It’s a gun-shot. The bus stops and everyone starts showing the panic. But no one comes out to help. People love showing their empathising-careness but are found castrate when needed to act. Don’t we see such people everywhere around us?

A deaf and mute girl in a modern city of Japan is affectionate to a young but raunchy lad. And as soon as he is aware of the disability he behaves stranger again. We want people to be perfect but we forget the fact that no one is perfect. We all need to look into mirrors daily. The girl’s frustration drives her to give away with her pan-ty and debunk. People dare do things they are not comfortable with, not comfortable at all. But they still do it to tell them self that they are no less then others. And they feel it’s fun until it turns fatal.

The younger brother is spying on her sister changing clothes out of an agreed hole in the wall. The elder brother warns but is pushed back with the reply “What’s your problem? She doesn’t mind it either.” This kind of spying is not uncommon, it happens very often around us. Though it’s not always with this much of mutual consent but it happens, it does. Why? To some it is fun to cross the taboos and enjoy the momentary pleasures. And the same is revealed with that under-the-mountain-rock act.

The tensed couple somehow manages to reach a nearby village but the rest of the group members feel scared of entering, for the people are termed ‘terrorists’. I wonder how it is that one person’s act causes ill-fame to the entire mass. And then comes an old stranger lady’s care ness. The care lets you feel that people have beautiful hearts and are very caring from inside. People can’t see others suffering and few feel it is god’s act to heal other’s pain. Hats off to those honest NGOs.

The maid has to go to attend her son’s marriage but faces difficulty in finding someone to take care of the two kids and hence takes themselves with her. They enter Mexico. The kid asks, “Is it Mexico? I have heard it’s not safe”. Why are we taught these things so early in our childhood? Iraqis are terrorists. Americans are not faithful. Indians are conservatives. And so many other things. While the newly wed couple is cutting the cake, the lady is embracing an old strange in a separate room. Loneliness again. It drives you to do things you are not proud of, not proud at all.

Cate’s neck is stitched with needle to stop the blood from flowing. The pain makes her unmovable and she confesses of peeing in her pants. She wishes to do it again. Brad takes off her inners and makes her pee in a cooking pan, while she is resting on his arms. They embrace, embrace in fear of losing each other. But they hold each other tight. No matter whatever drove you to separate (god forbids) with your loved ones, your heart IS always connected. It will always care for your ex-spouses, ex-husbands, ex-friends even if you don’t let them know it.

Other tourists’ arguments to move asap, angry fight and then the silent departure from the place leaving behind the couple alone. People don’t like to be in the wet shoes for a long time. Everyone prefers being out of other’s troubles.

The mute girl’s act of attracting the police officer by daring naked and thinking it may attract her the pleasure. But it turns frustrating b’coz the officer knows it’s not ethical and resists. She cries, cries loud. The crying on the shoulder limns the inner confession, the guilt we feel after doing any thing wrong. If someone does anything wrong, intentionally or unintentionally, we need to understand his/her inner state at that time. We need to understand what made that happen and then we need to act to counsel that person so that it is not repeated. We need to empathize not discard.

The killing of the elder brother in police encounter drives the younger boy to rip the bloody rifle brutally. His innocence drives him to his confession towards the policemen, ”It was me who shot. My brother is innocent. Save him please. Save him please.” We love your family, we all. And at times we made sacrifices for our families, not because it will make them happy but because it gives happiness to us too that we could do something.

Brad & Cate are taken to a hospital by support (at last) from the local government. She is out of danger and is pictured on TV all over the country describing how she survived the ‘terrorist attack’. What a headline.

It is an old saying that “The grass is always greener on the other side.” I would add, “And when the grasses start dying, the greener sides die first and then all looks the same. Everyone worried, everyone helpless.” You never know what is there in life for you to face, how brutal, how pain-staking. The moment you start feeling that everything is fine, everything is under control something or the other hits you from nowhere. But all you have to do is to have faith in yourself, have courage in yourself to fight it and fight loud. I do, I try to. You?

These are just few incidents that I have scrapped here and there were so many more, with some truly great messages.

I remember after the show ended, I stayed in my seat for 5-10 minutes until I heard someone say, “It’s all over.” I smiled and replied, “It is Never. It goes on and that is life.” No wonder if he stared at me after that.

I wondered what is meant by the title ‘Babel’. I googled and found that it means “A scene of noise and confusion”. True, both were present throughout the movie. And the both are present in everyone’s life; every time, every moment.

The tag line of this movie is “If you want to be understood………Listen”. True We need to learn to listen, not just listen to others but also to our inner-self. We shall ask our selves, What I am doing is right? Is this what I should do? Is that justice? Is that me?

I am sure I will remember this movie for a very long time. Frame by frame.

Lesson learnt: No matter how prepared you are, you should be ready to face. Ready to face life.

All the best!

Mission ‘Uninstalling Internet Explorer 7 a.k.a. IE7’

Wow Internet Explorer 7!!! It is Awesome!!! Tabbed look, RSS feed viewer, Search box, Quick Tabs, Stronger Security, and lots of other things. I feel blessed.

Days passed & nights passed with blessings all around. But hold on what’s that? Is that a fly in my soup? IE7 doesn’t work with this software; IE7 doesn’t work with that software. Phew!!!


Googling...

Oh, it’s not the IE7; it’s the software which is not compatible with IE7. Seems like they need to release new versions. But until that happens, it seems that I need to adieu to IE7. I will miss you.

Anyways, let me uninstall the IE7. How do I do that? IE7 doesn’t have any uninstall option in the Start Menu entries. Oh, you are a dumbo Ro. You need to go to Add/Remove Programs from Control Panel. Scrolling the big list…here it is Microsoft Internet Explorer 7. Let me click on it to get the Change/Remove button. Where is the button? Hey. Hello. Where are you? Let me see others in the list. They have the button. Why it’s not on the IE7?

Let me go the Microsoft way….Reboot the machine.

Restarted -> Logged in as Local Administrator to avoid permissions issues -> Went to Add/Remove Programs. Uff, It’s not there still. (God!!! Time to file a ticket to IT Helpdesk?)

Googling...

Oh, I need to select “Show updates” on the top of the Add/Remove dialog box. I selected it and then could see few updates under IE7. YES!!! They have the buttons. Seems like I have to uninstall the updates first to get the button on IE7 item. Smart concept!!!

I uninstalled the 2 updates. Rebooted the machine. Went to Add/Remove box. . Fainted! No buttons yet. Now what is the problem? Who took the button?

Googling...
Googling...
Googling...
GREAT!!! Long live Microsoft!!! It’s a known Bug.

Microsoft believes that after installing IE7 on your machine, if you get a Change/Remove button in the Add/Remove Dialog box for IE7, you are lucky. If you don’t, you are in the mass, just like me. Read this: KB923721. The page reads: “You cannot uninstall Windows Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2”. What a title! Though the page speaks about problems with IE 7 Beta 2 only, but it is true with the IE7 Final version too. I used the Final version only.

The suggested workaround: 7MB download cost on the network. . You need to download the Internet Explorer Uninstall Tool package.
The uninstaller uninstalls the IE7 and you get back your IE6. At last! (I am feeling better now. I will sleep well tonight. Thanks KB, thanks Microsoft.)

This is the first time I have come around a software which asks you to download the uninstaller separately. I wonder Microsoft didn’t release any patch for this too.

Lesson Learnt: When you download IE7 installer, make sure you download the IE7 Uninstall Tool too.

Cheers!

ASL Plz

I nvr tho8 dat it wud end lke diz. Scrabbled? Read ahead….

I hate using shortcuts such as hru, sm1, gr8, etc. in sms, chats. Still there are some selective ones which I use such as ttyl, asl and kit. I use asl as everyone else does for getting a stranger's introduction during online chats (which I seldom do). But last week happened a strange but funny incident.

Read this small conversation…..

Italiano (name changed): Hey!
Ro: who is this?
Italiano: I am from Italy.
Ro: not interested.
Italino:
Ro:
Italiano: Can I chat with you.
Ro: Tell me a thing first, how did you get my id?
Italiano: yahoo directory
Ro: I see.
Italiano: Can I chat with you.
Ro: (thinking)
Italiano: ??
Ro: (thinking)
Italiano:
Ro: ok.
Italiano:
Ro:
ASL plz.
Italiano: asl means???????????????
Ro: Are you new to chat?
Italiano: asl means???????????????
Ro: Age Sex Location
Italiano:
Ro: ( what did I write wrong. Let me see again what we talked. Why this blushing symbol.) What was there to be Blushing in it?
Italiano: Hmmmm, You are naughty.
Ro: Don’t be fishy with me.
Italiano:
Ro: Why this symbol? Is anything funny going on here?
Italiano: No you said na “Sex Location”. You are very naughty
Ro: (grrrrrrrrr kit kit kit kit kit)

Ro has signed out!!!


Lesson learnt: “Never use shortcuts with strangers. NEVER!!!”

Thought it was annoying to me at the time but I remember I smiled so many times after signing out thinking about the incident. And even now when I am writing this post I am smiling again. Now the scene is that anytime I read the word “ASL” I am rofl. Rofl means rolling on the floor laughing . I wsh I m nt wrtng shrtcts nymre.

Before ending this post a strong advice….avoid using shortcuts with those who you don’t know, else my best wishes with you.

Love is just Love

It was more than 2 years back, 26th August 2004 to be specific, when I wrote these lines of thoughts. I remember I was undergoing my graduation exams at that time and during the small breaks from studies, I used to add more lines to this. [don't worry, I topped the exam :)]. And this is how this entire thing came up. Why I wrote it?......that is a completely different story. May be in another post some time?

I don't know whether I should call it a poem or not, but as for me these lines sings by themselves so I call it a poem, My First Poem. I hope to write many more in the coming days, when I am in mood.

As I am writing so many other things on this blog site I thought of putting this one too. So that it could be found anytime. And what could have been a better time to add it to this site than this week. A week when Love is in the Air all around. So, here it goes...."Love is just Love."

Love is just “LOVE”

Love is……………a Mystery.

Love is the language through which
two hearts express the intangible.
Love is an ocean of immense ecstasy
where one sinks deep
to soak soul in drops heavenly.

Love is the smile that sparkles
in someone’s presence.

Love is the tear that trickles
when one cares for someone.

Love is the immeasurable faith
that sprouts when
when one finds the other half.
Love embraces without pretenses.

Let me remain me
Let you remain you…
Let’s unite to become one forever.

Is this what Love says?

Love is the song that is sung
at the silent beats of heart.
Love is the divine rhythm
at which soul dances recklessly.

Love is a treasure of enticing pain
where one longs for someone
countless nights and days.
Love is infinite
expanding beyond the cerulean sky
and carrying in it the whole of existence.

Love is the string which ties
two souls in eternal bond.
Love is completion
with a streak of emptiness in it;
emptiness that is fulfilled
only in the presence of the beloved.

Love is the creation of a creator.
Love is the poem of a poet.
Love is the painting of an artist.
Love is the symphony of a musician.
Love is the religion of a lover.
Love creates but never destroys.
Love is a faith which never betrays.

Love is a rainbow
that embellishes eyes
with its myriad colors.

Love is the blooming flower
whose sweet fragrance
intoxicates the senses.

Love is a drop of water
on the heart of parched desert.
Love is a beam of light
flashing in vast darkness.

Love is the breath
that carries wisps of scented air.
Love is the sigh one takes
in remembrance of someone.

Love is a shower of rain
sprinkling around boundless bliss.
Love is life flourishing
in its most awesome form.

Love is Everything
and Everything is Love
yet words fail to delineate
what Love is.

Love is
ineffable

inexpressible
indefinable.

Love is beyond words.

Love is the ancient wine
with its flavor beyond description.

Falling in Love entails rising …
Falling and rising together…
A puzzle it is... isn’t it?

Love is a feeling
that one may have for a moment
but whose essence lasts forever.

Love happens once in a lifetime
but it’s tough to recognize it
it just happens…happens by itself.

Love is the purest virtue, the highest power
a dais where once you step,
you leave behind all selfishness and desires

as Love increases, desires decrease.

Love nurtures soul in a bliss.
Love doesn’t know give and take.
Love just shares…beyond boundaries.
Love doesn’t bind;

its sets one free
removing bars and inhibitions.

Love is beyond logics..

Love is beyond deductions….
Love is beyond understanding……
Love is beyond comprehension…….

A riddle that can be solved
only when one falls in Love.
So…………

Fall in Love

to see how Love elevates soul to higher terrains.

And as any other word would fail to describe
what Love is
So…………..

let it remain the way IT IS.

Love is just Love.
Nothing below nothing above……
Love Is Just “LOVE”.

Love is a gift. A feeling, an inspiration which can raise someone to the sky from the ashes.

If you love someone Express it. For, an unexpressed love can turn out to be a poison, a poison that will not kill you, but would make you suffer each and every moment. Don’t worry how your beloved would respond to you, because you didn’t ask him/her before you started loving. He/she might not respond to you at all. Never mind, if you loved honestly your duty is to just keep on loving. You never know when stars turn your way and starts shining on you with their full strength. You never know when the cupid hits the bull’s eye. You never know.

So, express your love, express your feelings to the person who matters the most in your life, i.e. your beloved.

Wishing you all the very best of luck.

With Lots of Love.
