Of Me and You.

Distance, My Dear, has got Nothing to do with Proximity

It doesn't really matter, how far you are, from each other, for Time, is the longest distance between two.

And, Love.

So, one day, i was having this conversation with someone.. and the topic (God knows how) got diverted to love. That's what I said.. That's what I think..

"And, love. I don't believe in it much, myself.. but one can never be sure. I think its all about trust. Belief - the very basic form of it. Its like, giving the person or thing all the power to destroy everything that's dear to you, but believing strongly that they wont.. and then, again, it doesn't exist, because, you see.. trust is...immaterial. It isn't a foundation. It's more like the icing on a cake, whose foundation would be your will. Your will to take responsibility of that particular person or thing.. "

(:

Update: There's kind of a follow up post to this. Check it out, if you'd like!
And, Love. (Not a reprise)

MOON EYES

The Meeting:

The concrete pavement was deserted,hard and cold.She walked on this very pavement.She knew it. She'd seen it...Felt it, a hundred times, in her dreams.The familiar,warm light,from the lantern hung above on the poles flooded sections of the pavement with circular patches of orange light

She could hear even the rustle of her coat, which she now hugged to her chest. She felt cold, a cold she never had felt before.She walked forward her muffled footfalls amplified by the chill and emptiness around her.

She glanced at the road. Empty. A fear clung to her heart,a fear she never felt before,reasons unknown.

She walked.Faster. 

A faint growl sounded from somewhere behind her.She didn't dare look back. She knew, only too well, what would happen....Scared now, she almost ran, trying to find her way out from this seemingly never-ending platform.

She stopped short in her tracks, shocked when she heard the growl from ahead of her. Somehow, she knew this would happen, but she was still surprised...Shocked at her own feelings on seeing the massive creature in front of her.She stood, rooted,staring , wide-eyed at the dark, unlit part of the pavement, unable to meet that intense gaze.

He was there. Right there. She knew. She saw him in her dreams, did she not?

She wished this were a dream too...but she knew it was too vivid to be a dream.She knew,there was no turning back once she was captured by his gaze.

He sat there, silently with his back to her on the pavement,before her. She felt cold, like the cold from the uneven platform was seeping into her through her bare legs.She had tried running away from him,even in her dreams.She tried, now..but somehow, she knew it was inevitable...the things that would happen,soon...She'd not stop now, She took a step,tentatively towards his massive form. He growled.

She opened her mouth to talk, her throat ran too dry. Before she could muster her courage and try again, He turned, just a fraction of an inch towards her.His one gleaming yellow eye focusing on hers...She stood,struck by the beauty,the depth of the countless emotions running under those pair of eyes.

He merely looked into her eyes,until a wry smile touched her parched lips. She knew it. It happened. The countless times she saw it all in her repetitive dreams came true,She knew not,why..She walked towards him, steps now confident. She was so close, she could now feel the warmth off his body. She then took him in her arms, feeling his heart beat and his fur on her face. He felt nice.Despite herself, her fear of his kind, She knew she loved him.
When She released him, He merely got up and walked away into the darkness,without a look back towards the heart he had just captured.


She stood, smiling.
Somehow she felt, she wouldn't see Him again...
Her dreams told her that was false.
She Knew She'd See Him Again. 

OLD.....All Those Memories.

Ever heard of  "Old is Gold" ??
Now that I really think back about how long ago it was, it dawned on me that not Everything you think will "be there", actually be there.
When you realize how long ago it was, you are just Reminding yourself about it all.....
Those things you thought would stay , but left without a Trace...
And it will all go on until you let go and think of all those good times,
That keep tugging at the very ends of your Foggy Memories..
Reminding yourself that leaving isn't that bad after all..
It will tug on until you realize what you've left behind.. let go... just fall...
All those dreams that you thought would build up, you will realize that they had no foundations at all...
All those brittle, little, bitter-sweet memories of yours, you will find will finally leave you in peace with yourself.
Cause:
All is Gone.
All is Erased
All Stands Bare
All is in your Memories,
Yet, its All There
All's Not Over..

All Is Filled up...Rich and Happy,
All is Still...In Your memories.

VARYING..

Sometimes, Some Days...you just walk into your class, feeling SUPER optimistic, SUPER excited for something to happen...basically,in a Hyper state of mind.
This, sometimes, make you feel like hugging people around and going like "HEYYY!! IM ALIIIIIIIVE!!!"
:P
but then again,
There are some days, you walk into your class , and you know (even if it is not true) that .."NAHIIIII!! NOTHING'S GONNA GO RIGHT TODAY!!!!"

Basically, there is no such day, where you can be super depressed , and act like a Martyr....Having Awesome Friends around you helps a lot! BELIEVE ME!

Well, Some things people say, can  make you go "AWWWWW!"
well..ITS FAKE. :)
Face it, Why would ANYONE go "awwww???!!"
Makes me wonder if the things I actually say are all that cute, or they just want a Silk......!!!

The other things that people say, can make you want to Punch them in the face right there.
LOL! not possible....is it? ;)
(not if there are witnesses around)

Everyone has Mood Swings.
Trick is....COPE WITH 'EM! :)

Make people around you feel better, even if they are mainly faking ....trying to grab eyeballs..or whatever! :)
Let them have their fun....
At the End of the Day, You are the winner,
YOU made the choice to see everyone around you happy! :)
YOU spread the smile :)

That, now.....will surely make You smile too :)



Sincerely,
A true Cancerian
Prone to Mood Swings.

You And Me

I Remember Myself as an "US" 

Wispy clouds, A Bright Moon, 

Yet Dull, Beside You I Stood,

Speechless, Bound by Your Hand.......

Wispy Clouds, A Bright Moon,

Yet Dull, Beside You I Stood,

Mesmerised into Silence............

Wispy Clouds, A Bright Moon,

Yet Dull, Beside You I Stood,

Happy And Content, Holding Your Hand..................

Wispy Clouds, A Bright Moon,

Yet Dull, Beside You I Stood,

A Silent Promise Kept........

"I'll Stay By You ....FOREVER" 

A RED BALLET SHOE

Alongside the fire......
A dance in a ballet shoe,

A book on a cold window sill,
Untouched, Unread...

A still sheet of Music,
Ruffled by my breath...

A piano, Dusty and Old,
Unplayed from years Unknown....

A Creaky, Old, Wooden Floorboard,
Bringing back memories of Shiny, Black Polished Shoes....

A Yellowing, Ancient Tablecloth, Lacey, and perfect,
Convincing me of Fairy tales and Princesses.....

A Wind chime sounding in the Room,
Now, I can Hear Your Flute......

A Rusty Old Lock,
That was Never meant to be opened....

A Clock still Ticking,
Thinking " How Long it has been"......

A Little Shiver Down My spine,
Reminding Me of the Past.....

A Rustle of the Curtain,
And your Sweeping Gown.....

A Musty, Old Bookshelf,
Oh.. the Books You've Read......

A Tingle Down My spine,
Reminding Me; You're Gone......

Alongside The Fire....I still Remember,
A Dance In a Red Ballet Shoe.........

एक बार :D

एक बार जो था ,
अब नहीं है।
जो न था , अब है ,
अब मै उन्हें नहीं चाहती।

एक बार , जो मै चाहती थी ,
वह नहीं थी ,
अब वह मेरे पास है।
लेकिन मै पुराने दिन ही चाहती हूँ।

एक बार , जो भी मै चाहती थी ,
वह नहीं थी,
और अब , जो मै न चाहूँ ,
वे भी मेरे पास है।

एक बार, मै वोह सब चाहती थी ,
जो आज मेरे पास है,
पर अब मै वह चाहती हूँ ,
जो तब थे , अब नहीं।

दिल में वे सब बस गए,
जो थे , अब नहीं,
अब तो मै उन्हें ही चाहती हूँ ,
जो तब थे , अब नहीं!!

मेरे दिल से पूछने पर ,
जवाब मिला,
चिंतित हुई मैं......
उसने कहा......
जो सब थे , उनकी इच्छा है मुझे
जो अब नहीं है , वोह चाहिए मुझे
जो अब है , वोह भी मुझे चाहिए!

समय के साथ बदलती गयी मै।
सरलता न बच पाया।

आज मै ने अपने आप को
आईने मै देखि तो,
अपने आप को पहेचान न पायी.....
न ही आइना मुझे पहेचान पाया था!!!!

एक दिन , आशा है,
मै अपने आप को देख लू ,
जैसे मैं थी - अब न हूँ!!!!!

एक दिन,
आशा हैं ,
मैं अपने आप को पहेचान पाऊँ!!

I DREAM OF A WORLD...

I dream of a world,
Where I can stay idle ,
Resting in the arms of mother nature ,
Looking beyond the busy world,
Who refuse to open their eyes
And look at the beauty of nature.

I dream of a world,
Where everything I do,
Would be right and
There is no worry about
Them going wrong ‘coz there is nothing to go wrong!
Where I can enjoy to my heart’s content……

I dream of a world,
Where there is only happiness,
And no sadness,
No loss , only gain,
No thought , no pain…

I dream of a world,
Where I do not have to choose
A path for everything
Let there be no worry , no care,
Just a single thought,
‘everything will be alright’

I dream of a world,
Full of pleasant surprises,
Valleys full of flowers,
Allowing the sun to pour
The warmth on them
Where I can go on gazing and gazing….

I dream of a world,
Where time can be stopped ,
But I can still enjoy the clouds,
Rolling in the sky,
Lying down on a grassy slope,
No thoughts in my mind…..

I dream of a world,
Where I can sit on a rock,
And watch the waves,
Licking my toes , retreating,
And advancing again,
Just meant for gazing and gazing…..

I dream of a world,
Where there are no tensions,
No stress , no care.
A place where we could just
Forget everything and gaze
At the beauty of nature,
Resting in its very arms….

I dream of a world
Where we could just let go
Of everything ‘coz you have
A place where there is only gain,
A place you could forget everything,
And take pleasure without guilt…..

I dream of a world,
Which I pray must
Come true one day , where
You could just let go….
Forget everything
Keep on gazing and gazing …
Just keep on gazing and gazing ,
With no thoughts in the mind,
And gradually get sucked into nature’s eternity….

SUNSET...not the end of the day, but a mark to show the end of a successful day,and the rise of another :)

A day starts with a Sunrise.. and ends with a Sunset.
The end of one day...charecterised by a Sunset..is not the end of a day...it means so many other things....
things that can be forgotten during the night....things that we have to remember for the next day...(e.g; chemistry numerical concepts!! :P)
Many people may say..."ohh God!...another day has ended"
but well,according to me...the Sunset of one day indicates the ending of a successful day...(or a not so successful day) and the rise of another!...
Ther Sunrise brings with it a sense of warmth and new oppurtunities :)...
yeah.. i know i sound like a philosopher right now... but well...hey! thats what i think! :)
I derive great pleasure from seeing the Sunsets... yeah. true..it makes me want to think twice about what i have done that day. and wheather it is right or no.!!!!!

thank you Dearest SUNSET....for making my life so clear for me :)


THESE ARE PHOTOGRAPHS I HAVE TAKEN FROM THE ROOFTOP :D

WATER........

Ever since my childhood, i Loved Water... it somehow inspires me.
the way it shapes itself into any vessel..... it shows me how to adjust into any surroundings!
I used to have an aquarium... i loved it. It was my favourite passtime to gaze at the eight goldfishes and one black molly.... but what was surprising was that, Now when i recall those memories, that have pressed themselves like photographs in my memory; i remember that i was not really looking at the fishes... yeah they were graceful and all...
like God had made them to be, but i was looking at the water....the way the fishes CUT the water,to make way for themselves... the way the Water never got HURT, the way it willingly moved aside...
it did not allow itself to be hurt by anything. It just flowed....kept on flowing...
NO i would not say in a careless or carefree way... it did take care ... but took care of itself, in a way that it was not obvious.



I went to this lake.. once a long time ago, with my aunt uncle and two sisters.
it is called "Rammappa Kaluva" or something like that..yeah below is a photograph of it...(taken through the camera of my cellphone..hence, not so clear)



in this lake.. my sister, being naughty as always.. tried to throw a pebble into the calm depths of the peaceful lake,of course it would cause ripples...
i was , dont ask me why.. , kind of disgruntled.
Why should the girl throw a pebble? why ??!!!
oh why on earth would she want to disturb a peaceful soul?! far actually, that was what had passed in my mind. but it would look really foolish to stop the girl from having her fun!
she kept on throwing the stones...somehow she ENJOYED wreaking havoc in the peace of the waters!!
well... she is a kid, having her share of fun! :D i would not stop her!





Well... but at that moment, i understood, that how many ever fishes are under the water,it never shows...a FAINT ripple is caused..a FAINT one when a fish comes up and decides to peek its nose (if it has one)



Water has inspired me to be what i am... or what i HOPE i AM
and i also hopes it keeps inspiring me too :)

SISTERLY LOVE.............cute :)

A week or two ago, my aunt and her two daughters came over to my place.
The elder one..was sitting on a chair "drawing" with my crayons, meanwhile.. this little one had come and was trying to bully her sister off the chair so she could take her place. I tried to stop her, well... u know i'm not good at handling kids :D !
but what shocked me was that the eldser one did not whine....like she usually does, instead she lifted her sister onto the chair and willingly got up from the chair!
the little one scattered all the crayons across the floor and when i started picking them up, the elder one came to me and said "paravaledu akka nenu teestanu, nuvvu elli kucho" which means- its ok big sister, u go and sit, i will pick up all the crayons.
i was really shocked. usually she starts crying and cursing! i watched her patiently retrieving all the crayons. when she did, the little one beckoned to her and made her sit on the same chair .....

it was so touching... so cute :)

Kitne lamhoon ne
Mujhko ho jaise hairaan kiya
Kitni batoon ne
Dil ko aake hai chuu liya

-wake up sid (aaj kal zindagi)

it was something i had been missing from the very beggining, i have no sisters ,no brothers..... that minute i realised..... how much ever they both fight or curse each other, they will always love eachother :)
the feeling that there is some other person apart from your parents, who cares for you and whom you can care for... is wonderful :)
proof of sisterly love
:D

A DAY...UNFORGETABLE..

HEY AGAIN PEOPLE
i like ..to write in my blog all that i cannot tell people....
have you ever seen a picture..from your life.. imprinted in your head...like a photograph you want to get rid of? oh well what i am writing about is another such thing.!!!
days of our sports day practice in 10th class.. of course it had been cancelled.
this particular day... we were called for some shotput selections. we went.
when i was walking back .. i saw a scene... my best friend meghana was with me..she is in a different class...but we are still best friends :D
her classmates (and mine) were sitting in groups. i mean.. a circle.. chit chatting etc..:D they had left a place for meghana..
when i went near my friends, lo and behold, no one moved to give me place... i had to sit outside the "circle"...
now.. i let it not show..but really .. it does hurt! :(
i now remember my sports day practice ( that particular day) as a day..no a photograph..showing things...i thought i imagined,but which were really true..
two groups...both of which i liked...none leaving a place for me..
an unwelcome stranger... after all those years of "being friendly" and "trying to be nice"....
how simply very ... appealing???!!
