For the love of hope

Come to think of LOVE, and daring still is to make an attempt to even write about it at 30 plus! How and where to start from is the challenge, whether to start from a good morning greeting, a nice cup of hot tea on a cold and frosty morning, planning for the entire day on a breakfast table, afternoon whereabouts and lunch enquiries to a warm evening welcome, a stress free walk, watching the sun set slowly together, taking pictures for memories, endless talks just before you call it a day and hoping still for an even greater and adventurous next day! Sounds absolutely perfect for a good start but what happens in between is a far greater challenge that silently ’KILLS’ all the rituals one ever dreamt to perform for a perfect love life balance.
A lot has already been written on what love is and what it is not, but can you ever know what love is or not? Well, for some it’s just so easy to fall in and rise above, for others it’s never too late to realise it and then there are those for whom it’s just beyond relationships!
Love is not for sure asking for something and then getting it as well… like a necklace or a ring, may be… but love certainly is not asking for it and yet getting what you may be wishing or longing for…like a velvety sponge cake that just melts in your mouth, a spark of kindle to brighten the dark, a pair of TV headphones for the love of your love and so much more from your unwritten wish list sometimes, may be…
Love for sure is an absolutely over-rated emotion handpicked by a few card companies to celebrate ‘SEASONAL LOVE’and also market dreams in between those folds of pink and red paper to the most impressionable young tweenies’.
But not anymore as these lovelorn teenagers are far more mature and much REAL than they were a decade ago. Ask them about love and straight comes the reply, “Dogs are much more loveable and loyal, would prefer to settle down with a one.” The transition phase starts only after initial six months of falling in so called love when everything else fades away and dies, but what remains is the two of you trying to walk together but on parallel roads. Love for sure is an abstract feeling for those who just experience their initial heart breaks, but brave enough to realise that happy journey doesn’t take you to the core to appreciate its existence.And then there are those who are living in the hope that one day for sure they will find that perfect sweater that just fits so well and enhances their beauty.
Love for sure can’t be explained and yet endless attempts could be made, may be…but it definitely can be is seen in the excitement of that lil one who braves a day-long separation from his mother not just for a day but for days and months together, with less complaints and a few desires, may be…love for sure is felt in an irresistible desire of a mother to be irresistibly desired, not just for a few days and months, but years together, may be…

A “Wake-up” call

What a pleasant surprise it is to get a “wake-up” call from an old friend, baring the long distance, finding time from busy schedules, forgetting about initiatives, and above all keeping you in mind and heart even while watching a movie is commendable. Hats-off to a dear friend, who is in Bangalore for “waking me up” from the deep slumber. It was a pleasant morning on the weekend, when almost the world around me was up and alive, but I was still dreaming….dreaming about the past few months when I had almost planned the rest of my near future, thinking about the whys and hows, having pleasure in feeling almost accomplished, I just didn’t want to get up to face the reality, which was no way near to my dream…pat I get a call, but fast asleep enjoying a virtual life in my dream I was in two minds to answer or not to answer the call. Thinking that the call must be to wish me New Year, to which I could always call back later, I wanted to dream on a bit more, but then since it was Soni, I ...

Women, work and vows

by Ravia Gupta THEY make me work, they make me slog, they make me learn, they make me relearn; together we both make our lives difficult. My students always find new challenges for me each day! It was yet another attempt to have a better understanding of the “You Live Only Once Generation”. First I laughed, laughed out loudly, thinking it was too funny. Then I thought what to answer when they asked me, “Is getting married easier than going to work? Whose decision should it be? Whether or not a woman should work post-marriage? Who decides what career she must opt? Besides, why is it that husbands who encourage their wives to work or have a career in the first place, then turn back and complain when she starts enjoying what she does? Suddenly, the fun was over and soon as I started explaining them that getting married and staying home was much more difficult than going to work. Not that my marriage is too old or troubling me, but if you want to have a good marriage and a stable ho...

Like us on Facebook Most of the working people in ITs and corporate is that they have nausea, heavy head, gastric, reflux and what not? Some also complain that they don’t even have time to eat but still they are having bloated stomach and heavy body. what could go wrong/ The answer is that these working people are lacking healthy lifestyle. .Spending more than couple of hours in front of office desk, meeting office targets, keeping the social media status updated, and then bonding with real-life friends and dear ones. It reflects adverse effect not only on your physical but also mental health. While following the basic tech routine in daily life, we tend to neglect or overlook our healthy lifestyle. Healthy lifestyle has two main components; 1) Eating fresh and healthy food on time, and 2) Exercise for at least 30 minutes in day. If both mentioned factors are taken care of, one can enjoy a healthy life, physically and mentally. And of course, a healthy body and pea...
