complexity of relationships... uh.. aah..oouch!

“After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security, and you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises, and you begin to accept you defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult and the grief of a child, and you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure… that you really are strong, and you really do have worth.”

Came across these beautiful lines while reading something on the internet and it just cut across my mind.. this is exactly what I understand of life ever since i have tagged myself as a grown up (that was not a long time ago though ;-) ) so i decided to share these bunch of lines with all of you here and show another side of me as a person.

women and her various roles go hand-in-hand. there is always an instinct of simplest of relationships, friendship, if not anything else.. be it any kind of woman categorically one who is solely practical, implementing and calculative or be it a thorough Bollywood kinds, awestruck with the fantasy of a wonderland called love, emotional and irrational. Of all the different categories of women these are the two extremes possible and even there you find a relationship angle. a relationship in the form of a friend, a lover, a spouse, a colleague, a sister, a daughter and above all a mother.

everystep in life does she enter into a relationship with a man and everytime she comes out evolved and more loving. women are the mascots of love and would serve to be the same for like forever!

after living in denial for years i have come to terms with the fact that at the end of all of it i AM single. i have shared my part of relationships but over the years i think i have evolved more through learning and observations of the relationships around me. firstly, there is a woman who is doing fantastic in life and then there is this man who enters into her life and makes it a live piece of a dreamworld woven in her head. with each passing day she comes out in a more loving form and takes a step forward to the security and satisfaction. but at the end i stay there rattling my head, stretching my swollen watery eyes wide and cursing the man! its is just so convenient for men to let go off relationships in life keep moving on..

"I have recognized that it doesn't matter if a guy is sexy, funny, smart, charismatic and rich if he doesn't make you feel safe to communicate openly, safe to trust his commitment and loyalty, or safe to be your fullest self. A relationship of shared virtue where each partner challenges and supports the other to bloom into their best possible selves..."

right now i am overwhelmed with a zest of mixed emotions trying to burst out like a volcano so the above line i think says it all.
cheers to life!

bouquet of love #20

the story goes like a fairytale
known by all but felt by a few
it isn't about him and me,
its about a prince and his princess..

there was the princess standing at the window
and there came the prince riding on his white horse
they didn't know each other
neither did they feel each other

their glances just met and they felt the spark
nothing was spoken, nothing conveyed
yet there was life in their eyes
and dreams forayed..

the princess was utterly delicate
elegant, poised and fair
her hair were looong
like a thread to a kite..

the prince was youthful & shy
charming and bold did  he look
his torso was strongly built
with a sword did he appeared a knight..

fragile and soft did the princess looked
her eyes had the quench for her soul mate
the moment they locked their eyes
since then words weren't uttered and their hearts merged to one

seemed like a chapter from a story book
this couple was one from the heaven
horizon was their limit of love
and eternity was their end to life...
