She could have said so many things to let him stay, but all she could at the end convey was ‘until we meet again’

Brimming with Love

2 Comments

When you are filled till the brim with love, no one can take away that moment of blithe from you, even when you get a silence in return for all your love, for your heart is overflowing with so much love you don’t have an ounce left to accept anything else.

Braving Oddities

The sea was rough, tossing the boat on the wild waters. No sign of land, not even a promontory rock to settle the rising anxieties, and the pelting rain blinding any possible hope of vision. Despite the miseries the heart still bracing every miscreant happening with a defiant smile, for exploring the uncharted territories what kept him going even when the sails were snapping in a gruff

Is Detachment Possible?

Leave a comment 
The wise always say the roots of every pain can be traced to one reason - attachment. The seers from anarchic times have declared attachment to be the sole reason behind all sufferings. But despite being aware of its repercussions we invariably get entrapped in its pretentious claws. 

So the question remains, knowing all the miseries bonding may cause should we practice detachment? 

I am no sage to preach, but in my personal opinion, the answer is not a simple yes or a no. Unless you have decided to leave worldly pleasures, ready to live the rest of your life on a distant mountain, no matter how much you desire, detachment is unattainable. Sadly, if we chose to live in this world and force ourselves to detachment it does more harm than good. It is as if we want to reach our destination riding on two boats.  

Is there a middle path? Absolutely. I have learned the hard way that when we love someone love not because we expect love in return but because we genuinely are in love. Give yourself the freedom from expectations. Liberate your soul from the burden of comparison. Love after all is not a thing to weigh on a scale, neither love is a thought to be caged. Rather love is an emotion that makes you feel emancipated even when confined by the attachments of love.

Set Free

4 Comments 
I am sure most of us at some point in our life have experienced the emptiness within us when we don’t receive reciprocation of love. The tragic poetries, the lament proses, the harrowing ballads, and the grisly parables, from anarchic times, have portrayed the feeling of unrequited love in many shades, making it a topic of interest amongst the ardent followers of Aeschylus. 

Life is a blurry gossamer and love adds many layers of complexities to it, decorating it with an inscrutable desire, which roams in the lanes of memories with a listless soul. And like any enigma, it imposes many questions and seeks many answers. 

But then isn’t love beyond such trivial impositions? Why do we need to compare intensities, measure reciprocation and define boundaries? Love should be limitless. Love should be beyond reasoning. Love should be the epitome of insanity. And love should remain abstruse. In the end, if you love someone deeply, let all rationality evade, love like there is no tomorrow, surrender your soul, and if your love is real, and if it can stand the test of time,  the universe will for sure reciprocate your love.

Unrequited Love

4 Comments

When the mind is laden with unrequited love, every moment that surrounds us appears dull. A saddened heart then loses hope and lost hope makes faith fade away, making life meaningless, a quagmire from where it is hard to escape and slowly we die one moment at a time.

Should we try changing?

20 Comments 
I am going to touch upon a controversial topic today, and I would love to know your personal views about this topic. 

We all have heard this age-old axiom, “when in love, love the person for who she/he is, don’t try to change her/him”. 

Well, I don’t fully agree with this. Yes, in the truest essence you have to accept a person without any prejudice or judgment, but if the change is for good, why not? Let me take an example. You fell in love with a person, head over heels. You have stayed long enough to realize it is not an infatuation anymore. While being together, you see certain behavior which you know is detrimental to the person’s well-being. Won’t you put an effort to work with her/him to change it? And if you do, will that qualify you as a bad actor?

I strongly believe two people come together because they see an emotional quotient getting addressed, but two people stay when they adjust their outlook a bit to make it meaningful for each other. As they say, “change is the only constant.”

Convoluted Thoughts

Myriad thoughts making my abstract mind to go around the Meridian circle of my life watching the moments from yore in the rear view mirror with a magnifying glass, and I wonder if life will give me another chance to correct my faults, atone my sins and embrace love in this lifetime

I am Free

I am drenched with the effulgence of positivity, 
my zeal radiating like shimmer of a million astral bods, 
the self belief is oozing with confidence, 
the hope brimming with a smile, 
the past is now behind me, 
all pretentious shackles has emancipated, 
the future is beaconing,
and I levitate with an ethereal soul,
for I am free
