Metro Diaries - A Reminder

By



Rashi stood there staring at the skyline as the waves kept hitting the rocks below her feet. Faint sounds of latest dance numbers playing in distant background reminded her of the party she was here for. Though she had accepted the invitation and was there she did not “attend” it even for a moment. Off late everything seemed like a disturbance people, music, and friends… the very things which were her lifeline not very long back. She just wanted to be with on her own, letting her thoughts flow without any hindrances in between.


The way things had been for her recently it all seemed to lead nowhere and today she felt as if she was at a crossroads where she had to make a choice. Her life, her rules, her choices, her decisions – that’s how it had been till now. Then why was she scared today, she did not know. She had never been so confused about anything till now. Just then a star fell from the sky creating a beautiful aura all around. Almost on an instinct Rashi closed her eyes and made a wish, just like every time.


Slowly she opened her eyes and smiled for in making that wish her heart told her what her choice should be. A faint smile began to appear on her lips as she looked above and sent a prayer of thanks to Him.The confusion no longer seemed like one for all that her heart wanted was clear to her now. How fickle human mind was she wondered, 


“ We know what our destination is, we know the way to reach that too. Somewhere in between we lose our way, take some wrong turns and yet manage to come back on the right track once again. But we get so obsessed with the destination that we forget to enjoy the journey and when we reach the destination we don’t even remember why we are here now and thus begins another journey to another destination not knowing what the heart actually wants. It is important to pause for a while in between just to know what your heart wants and listen to it before chasing the destination once again. And at times when we forget to pause, life sends us reminders in such forms just to let us know how important it is to just LIVE for the moment!”


Saying this she traced her steps back to the shack to join her friends and celebrate LIFE.

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!”

What is love?

The moment I hear the question what is love? My answer always is this. Love is.  Those two words hold the entire meaning of love for me. When I was asked to write about my own version of love, my mind instantly ran to the nearest rescue I could find – music. For me, love is music, a song that your heart dances to and a rhythm that has the capacity to capture your soul. Love is the language of the universe, the one in which one soul converses with the other.
