Random Thoughts

By

After the initial euphoria, everything seems to lose its charm suddenly. You do something new in your life and you are excited about it for a while. But then after sometime the same thing looks dreary to you and you yearn for change.

You meet someone, sparks fly and you conclude you are in love. After being in the relationship for some time you suddenly realize that the relationship lacks the charm it had initially. The spark is gone and it now becomes a burden for you to carry around. It is said that,” Change is the only thing constant in life”, but does this hold true even for relationships? And if it is so, then why do we say Love is forever?

Change is perhaps the eternal truth of our lives. If we are scared of changing we are scared of living. Everything changes. We change, with age the way we look changes, our tastes change, our thoughts and beliefs change, with various inventions and discoveries the world around us has changes. The best part is despite all these changes we smile when we look at them reminiscing about the good old times comparing the new with them mentally.

Then why in relationships when people change we change our feelings towards them. Why don’t we accept their change also with a smile? Why do we conclude they have changed beyond recognition and walk away from them with a feeling of hatred? Why don’t we think for a moment are we still the same??

Essay: How to mourn the loss of love?

Image Source: Unsplash.com I remember the first time I mourned the loss of love was when I was eleven.  For me, dance was love at that time. I had discovered a strange joy as I glided in and out of those movements. Every time I swirled; I could feel my heart soar. Any beat that strained to reach my ears, tempted me to move my body to its tune. I just knew I was born to dance and that is the only thing I wanted to do, all my life.  I had my reasons to believe so and a very simple one at that. It made me happy. That was a reason enough. However, my father thought otherwise. Girls from good families, do not dance. That line was enough to break all those rosy dreams of dancing on a stage. The day my brother was sent to the same dance class which was not good for me, was the day I experienced heartbreak for the first time.  That is the day I mourned the loss of my first love- Dance.

Diary of a Lost Wanderer - Lost & Found

Dear Diary, I fell in love with Mumbai when I first visited it in 1995. Bombay, as it was then known, fascinated me since then.  If you ask me what made me fall in love with this city, I perhaps cannot explain. It wasn't that I was seeing the sea for the first time. It wasn't even the biggest city I had been to till then. Still, there was something so magical about this place. The trip was a short one lasting less than a week but this city now had my heart. Years later, I arrived here all alone on my first solo trip in 2005 and fell in love all over again. I got my first job and was required to come to Mumbai frequently. The local trains, the chaos on the roads, the crowds, the humdrum, the salty smell in the air, the stale air- everything about this city was intoxicating for me.

Metro Diaries: The Art of Making Love

Lying aimlessly, just feeling each other in silence. I managed to just whimper to denote my curiosity.   “Because that is the moment we create love. We are the closest we could ever be to love, in its purest form. It is sheer magic as we are naked, in every form. Mentally, physically and emotionally before that one person, we love. We know they can hurt us, as much as they want to, in the way they want to. But love gives us that power to trust them, that they won’t.”   “And here I was thinking it is a need. Something you want at that moment and you get it!”
