It’s raining LOVE all around me, making me wonder if I really want to get drenched in it or not........

 But it seems to have made up its mind to take me by surprise and drench me in its warmth with each drop!

~ It is LOVE for me when ~

My silence on SMS is also understood to perfection ~ I am amazed at how perfectly the unspoken is felt.

Someone sitting miles away from me can hear everything that my heart wants to say the moment I say Hello on the phone ~ I am touched to see my emotions are truly heard

I feel a gentle squeeze on my hand with a knowing look in the eyes which seem to say ‘I am there!’~ I love listening to the unspoken like this

I am invited for a cup of coffee just like that as I seemed a bit lost.~ I am surprised they noticed my eyes which were proof to a night spent crying

I receive a comment on my old posts with a P.S: Never ever stop writing. ~I wonder how that person came to know that I was actually contemplating a break from writing at that moment

I receive an email from one of my fellow bloggers asking me to Take care! as I was not sounding too good on the replies I had given ~ I am overwhelmed at the care and concern being showered

It is so truly said that sometimes in life you reach a stage where everything becomes hazy. Tears fill your eyes and clouds cover your thoughts – they don’t let you see or think clearly at all. That is when LOVE comes in such various forms just like bright sunshine to make you see things in new light once again. They are not like those rain drops which can be avoided by an umbrella; they are like those warm and strong rays of the sun which cannot be shielded against by anything. 

I just wish to say to each one of you - Thanks – for being there, it truly means a lot! After every storm I have picked up the scattered remnants with a smile and renewed vigour each time, but this time I did not have the courage maybe or the strength to begin all over again. Maybe the tears in the form of raindrops had drenched my soul very badly. But your love and care in the form of sunshine has made me feel all bright and chirpy all over again and here I am back to my usual self all raring to go. As you all quietly whispered this to Me with your actions:

Essay: How to mourn the loss of love?

By

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

Image Source: Unpexels (Cottonbro) “Do you know why is it called making love?” He whispered, pulling the comforter closer.  I don’t remember for how long we had been in that room, on that bed. 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!”
