I somehow don't remember how I landed up at Srishti's blog and when but all I remember is the fun we have had till now bonding over more than blogs and books for we share one more common love and that is for LIFE.Through her blog Life - As it is I have seen life in a manner that is much different than mine and yet enticingly beautiful.

She has presented me with a Liebster award there making me finally come out of my hiding and do something I should be doing more often - WRITE. She exactly knows what will kick me :)

Now, I am supposed to answer some questions as a part of the award


· How would you introduce yourself to anyone? 

Hi! I am a dreamer and who are you?

· What do you adore more? Your past or present? 

Though I adore my present the most for I am the happiest in it, I respect my past a lot. It made me what I am today.

· Night, nature, rain or people? What makes you want to write a poem? 

Everything and anything. Poem for me is more of a cry of my heart while stories are whispers of my soul.

· What kind of a person you believe yourself to be? One who gives in to the demands of the situation, or the one who stays stiff, come what may? 

I believe I am a very practical person who molds the situation rather than letting the situation mold me. 

· Best compliment(s) you got on any of your blog posts? 

There are many ( **touchwood**) One that immediately comes to my mind is the one that said, "No one writes love as beautifully as you do in the blogosphere" - I just smile ear to ear as I remember that moment.
 
· Do you like your name? If not, then what name would you choose for yourself, and why? 

Ofcourse I love my name Privy Trifles and I wouldn't want to change it for anything. Its an identity I am immensely proud of.I am even planning to get it tattooed for keepsake.

· What controls you more? Heart or brain? 

My heart for I wear it on my sleeve, waiting for fall in love at the next opportune moment.

· One book you think every living being should read at least once? 

Aleph - by Paulo Coelho - It changes the way you look at love, relationships, life and most importantly yourself.
 
· Your take on the inflow of so many phone applications?

Am technologically handicapped - so cannot comment on them sorry! All I can say is they just add to my confusion!

· A movie you wish you were a part of? And which character, of course? 

Shrek - I would love to be Princess Fiona... for all those cute moments they have together and I sooo adore that Ogre <3

· A few (honest) words for my blog, please? 

I love frequenting your blog for I enjoy seeing LIFE as it is and most importantly it reminds me of the various colours that make a rainbow. The simple joys of life that you capture there, warm my soul and melt my heart every time! ( Esp: Your header!!! I am sooo much in love with it!! )

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!”
