HAIKU

Swaying to the tune; she dances 

Lost in a world of unknown trance

The flow of her nape arouses

Desires rooted, deep down in my heart.

A kaleidoscopic canvas fills my eyes

A misty cool feeling satiates my mind

One hue with rays of shades

A picture or a painting

I can rarely say.

Shooting stars across the sky

Colourful they turn as my wish is granted by

Slowly they disappear into the dark night

Filling me with hope for another starry night.

Lost in the world, against the bright light

She stands alone by herself

Trying to seek solace in the world of her mind

Where hope is the beginning of each new day.

He stares at her, whilst she's looking away

Making a promise he'll take her away

That is what she too dreams about

Contemplating its not just, too late....

December Magic

Have you ever felt love? This question may sound quite crazy to you and most of you reading this must think im crazy which albeit is very much true :) but still....have u felt love? Most of us associate love with an emotion we feel for some person that makes us feel good. But thats restricted convenience. Coz that very same person when pisses you off, also takes the emotion of love right out of the window.

Love in its purest form is unconditional; for everyone and everything around you and within you. It doesnt differentiate or discriminate. It just flows and fills you up. Love is the joy of giving, without expectations. Unconditional love is inspiring. It helps you grow, brings you courage, makes you realize the beautiful vast potential that we have within us. But why am I talking about love?

December is one of my most favourite time of the year. Right from the clear blue skies to the chilly winter mornings.. From hot pakodas to old monks, planning party schedules to putting up the christmas tree and then finally working out new year travel options to the zillions of new year resolutions that are emptied immediately with the next bottle of beer down. December is the month of magic. The magic of Love. 

As I soak in the love, I run through all the beautiful moments this year has given. A gift from the universe. A gift for which I have nothing but immense gratitude for. A recent ritual I have started owing to this gratitude is getting up every morning and thanking the universe first thing for just giving me another oppurtunity to spread love and a new day to marvel and learn from its beauty. 

Love is not just about romance.. Its about the experience it fills you with. The small peck on the forehead from the person you love to the innocent smile from a child in the supermarket.. Small conversation with the maid working in your house to saying hello to the building watchman. All these acts are expressions of love. Expressing it can be done in a dozen ways but the emotion itself is formless. Its complete. 

To love, one needs to be in love with oneself. Only when you filled with it; is when you can share it with everyone around. Try walking through the grass bare foot and feel the romance between your feet and the grass. Splash around in water and soak in the love the water fills you up with. Close your eyes, look towards the sun and feel its warmth just for you. Similarly, hold the little finger of the person you love and walk a mile in silence. Communication in love requires no words. Its when you go within yourself, unearth the abundance of love that lies unkown in the heart, accept it and then cherish the feeling of renewal evertime you share that love with anyone and anything.
