we the living

the fact remains, that all WE are concerned about is "I"; & its pretty necessary to be that way..but we are unable to do without the others..they make us feel what we are..blogs have a similiar purpose...nothing much different..so here are WE trying to live the way our world takes us; we really cant afford to be a loner,can we??

valentines day.................

can we really celebrate love just for a day in the whole year....& think we are happy??
a blind date on that day would be more worth it.......no expectation atleast.....
moreover they cant really last so long......

almost all real love stories are never talked about...as thy are never even realised that they existed.....cause they are really too short & crisp....they are just like a gentle brush of cool breeze.....some very intense moment that makes you feel that something very beautiful
just happened... for a split second it made you forget who you were & where were you..
for the first time it made you feel so stupid in the first place....just when you didnt know
what to say....how to respond....when you exactly found yourself helpless....most vulnerable
.........yet nothing seemed more important or true than being right there.....just there.....
thats when you stop to reason....your mind doesnt function...and all words seem hopelessly shallow.....& most of all you seem insignificant......for that moment when u loose your identity
I guess that would sound like love.....not real though...cause it rarely happens...and when it happens its so different an experience...you dont actually keep notes of all that happened...
its more like a dream....that seems unreal the next moment....

and obviously it cant last long....how long can we exist by forgetting our self???...
by not measuring all that we want out of it ....and all that we cud give.....
and not be hurt in the process......or not try to own the person??....if it really was selfless
we cud never have had such unhappiness out of it.....than what happens to all the sad songs???

so,it does sound too complex...i m sure we are better off without it.....cause we really cant have control in it.....that sound eerie....and you actually might loose your senses..thats uncomfortable too.....easy going relations can only keep pace with our fast demanding world...where we mostly get things done...like buying valentine gifts..expensive ones...dedicate songs maybe...send an sms...or do hell lot of useless conversations, minting new words, phrases that dont actually mean anything much....& than get bored soon.....no options i guess.....

but than; life can get unreal sometimes......
just when valentines day dont really matter....and with every single day comes a beautiful moment when you feel like pouring out your heart...without a word....just a gesture maybe...
look out for those moments.....they can change life........

Last year or so I watched a Hindi Movie, forget the name ,in which Nana Patekar stands before the mirror and do puja of himself. It was funny but also giving a deep meaning. Why not to start loving the Self,no artificial or honest but confused dialogues, no gifts,no promises and.... Every moment will be celebration.No gap between 14 Feb and 14 Nov,just love to self,conceive-beleive and achive.Probably when we are in love with ourselves,we can love others.I think this year 11 Feb the day of Maa Sarswati can be a better day to celebrate than 14 Feb.Veenavadini var de,mujhmen hi mere prem ka ghar de.Once we are 'Premmay' all the worldly meanings vanish.....and I think the relationship which we aquire during our layman stage can be well taken care of if we beleive in 'Rinbandhan' concept.I know this is very tough to lead a bouble/multimasked life, but we are helpless this is the first rule of the game which is meant for breaking but not whenever we feel like or to create another 'bandhan' but at the time
when we achieve the freedom from bandhans..perhaps that time the rule also vanish, and we neednot do anything.
Your rythmic language gives a pleasant read.
Luv and regards.

well i agree with what u said...it goes without saying that unless u can love your own self u cannot love anybody else...but wanted to say something else...relations are fleeting..its not about any bondage..u cannot cling to it..it will b there as long as it wishes to be thr..as long as it feels great to be together...frm the inside..as long as it is one with our self...and that it doesnt happen like tht in ths world anymore...its entirely the head tht rules..no one is concerned with the heart...leave aside the soul or the real being...it comes latter..ppl first must come in touch with his own self...stop deceiving himself,pretending to be somebody else..& get connected with the heart..any other realisation for the layman comes after this..its much latter he can think of being ane with the universe...beyond all bondages...

This is unfortunate, the moment a relationship emerges we tend to give it a name more so as the society has defined some relationshipa like father,mother,brotherand sister their ascendents and descedents so far as blood relations are concerned. Wife and husband in case of the relations made by us. The society has left alone one relationship(though that is not a relationship at all in true sense} i.e. Friendship,though it attempted to define it different ways but couldnot.All relationships can be detoxinated to an extent if we can infuse an element of friendship in it. Be a father,mother,b...s..w...h...they can be convertsd into friends to make the life easier,but saying is easy doing may sucesseed may not sucssed. But no harm in honest attempt as this may be our first step to reach a stage of love and compassion.Charity begins from home.One may be clear from hi/herside but no guarantee of the otherside.But cann't we assume, the love is oneway traffic and we can relax ourselves to great extent to the later stage i.e. being one with the universe..beyond all bondages.
Clinging-No.Feeling great inside,being together etc.-This happens in this world here and now-yes.The head and heart are two aspects of the same thing like philosopy and Darshan, theory and practice, words and own experience, explained and unexplained,Ayan Rand & mystism..oh again a word game from myside. The synthesis of both or honest adoption of one may lead to ultimate as well as in the present worldly parlance. We call it Gyan.Bhakti and Karm if we take from the words of Geeta-just an example.Anyway, most of these perception are based on individual experience which evryone of us would have as we are to breathe in this polluted air of the world. BUT JO JITA VO HI SIKANDAR or as the Tao sayings is "Hare Huye Ko Koi Nahin Hara Sakta."looking contradictry but are one n same. Existence would destine a choice for all of us we the living or we the loving.
God is compassionate. If you don't believe in GOd take it "Self is compassinate by a process of evolution"Have a Good Day. Regards
