Of Social love

As a child I remember my fondness for letters. Letters to friends, cousins, family. The love arose not because of the content but more so because of its inherent secret nature. The fact that that I had some special bond with someone of which only I knew gave immense pleasure. A decade down the line and I see a completely different picture. The electronic media has changed the entire communication scene. Children now know of only formal/informal letters as part of their grammar education. There is an omnipresent desire to showcase one's love and affection for another via the social network. People emerge with all together different personality on them. Coy, shy and people who are almost always silent in a social group shout out their feelings over the social media in a fashion that leaves you wondering. One sees them expressing uninhibited love and feelings and one wonders which their true self is or may be it was all there but hidden. 

Expressing your mind is not a problem but yes expressing only or more on a digital platform than you ever do, to your loved ones, in person makes one wonder. Today children talk to their parents over facebook and messenger and label it as modernity aka coolness. If only parenting was that easy. Communicating means to know the well being of your friend, your parents, your family and to know if they are safe, nurtured and loved. Not denying any individual his or her right to use the social platform in any way they desire but yes please pause for a moment and think over the true friends you have and treasure them. 

At times love,affection and concern involve social displays to make your (physically) distant near and dear ones realize their importance in your life in your own special ways. But if you decide to say it to the person who lives next door or the friend you share your room with, then boy the table or wall you share is echoing and trying to convey a message. Listen intently! 

But at the end if loveee is what you want; you know where your social page is. Keep Loving!

Perls

"I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.
If not, it can't be helped."
Fritz Perls

Apt lines. summarize every bit of what i believe should define the meeting of two individuals.

Death

Yesterday she breathed, she laughed, she danced, she cried and today its only a physical mass.
One second a steering turns and life changes for all of us.  
And today all i hear are the echoes of her laughter come from the far end and all i see is that faint image of her smiling face.
There is no right or wrong in death. If your time is up; then it finds a reason to embrace.
Reasons that don't have logic and can't have logic. How can it? It's death. If you knew the reason you wouldn't be human.
All you can do is remember the happy times and cherish the memories.
Make sure what is left behind of hers is fine, stays unscathed as long as you can protect it.
All it tells you is Live and Love; for tomorrow you may not exist.
Go live your dream for death is a leveler.Live today; live now.

Living in the present

Someone is waiting at the station for his train and someone to get down from it,
Someone is waiting in his field for his rains and someone for it to stop and let his sun come up,
Someone is waiting for his love to return and someone is too tired of the love present,
Someone is waiting for the winter to come snuggle him up and someone wants his warmth back.


Life is always what we don't have.
Chasing that which is transitory and will come to you sooner than later but we ruin our present in pursuit of that tomorrow.
We wait hoping tomorrow would be brighter and i will be happier.
Wake up woman the moment was never yesterday and neither is it tomorrow, it is and will always be now; this moment that is here &now.

Que Sera Sera or Is It?

There are times in life when we let ourselves fall for 'Que Sera Sera'. We bask happily in the darkness of not knowing and letting our decisions being guided by it. Reality stands stark naked in front of us and we still ignore it. In that moment, it seems like my: 'picture of eternity', a happily after. 

But alas, when that bubble bursts its too late. Too late to collect ourselves, Too late to undo the done, Too late to mend, Too late to save your broken heart.

Destiny has its own ways but to let the reality slip away in wake of that one happy phase in your life; doesn't make it any better. Different reasons convince us and we let our lives slip (temporarily) from our hands. At times it is the bleakness in your current scenario, at times it is your hope for more and at times it is a person who fools you to believe in it.

Yes Que Sera Sera it is but que sera sera to your life. So let loose but hold on to the reality anchor.
