Adieu 2012

So, Mayans said 21st Dec 2012 will be the last day : Doom's Day.
Clearly, it's not so. And, here we are confronting the last day of the year 2012.

2012 has been too happening and too happy year. Alas!! many are happy that the year is ending.

Of all the things, I hope that 2013 brings us a happy time, provides us contentment and success and marks the beginning of a new journey.
I hope all negative energies bid us goodbye. Rather, we leave each and every thing harming us.

Hoping that the fortune favors the brave.
Be  Brave!!
 

"Some Battles are Forever."

"Some Battles are Forever."
If you think, one fine day- everything will start moving on smoothly.
Sweetheart!! Wake up!! Things don't work that way.
It is a constant struggle with the outside world and your inner self.

So, when some days are great, the next coming days can be crucial.
The other days might confuse you. And, some might greatly disappoint you.

The power within is to stand up against all the odds. We are not perfect. We learn from our own mistakes.
The thing is - No miracle occurs!

Gradually, I have learnt that although things remain similar- Neither extremely good and not extremely bad- They have their own grey shades of dilemma, confusions, relationships and responsibilities.
And, none of these can one day end to capture your mind.
If they do, believe me- Either you are insane or dead.
Life is SIMPLE SILLY!!
Make it that way.
You may meet a thousand people who believe that all what you have done is wrong or you are being served the wrong platter. Nevertheless, mistakes and corrections are part of life.

I have learned that there is nothing like Wrong or Right. It is the moment where a decision favors or rejects you.
In both the cases, you learn and grow as a person.

In these 1.5 yrs of Professional career, I have seen myself growing, committing mistakes, understanding that the world around me has changed drastically. It's not the people, not the work environment and neither is it the mindset. It is just - there comes a time in Life where everyone is selfish and everyone is bothered about the fast success.

And, Buddy believe me -it's a neck to neck competition. And, it is how you carry on with this life- Preserving the values and trying not to transform completely to the blood sucking vampire.

Yes, Some Battles are Forever.
And, the day when we realize it, we will also acknowledge that each day when we return safe, sound and without hurting someone in this world- Is a great day!! 

Love that one person to the fullest and you get a lesson of life time.

That pure soul,
who loved you.
And, you shattered the heart.
The pieces lie here and there,
breaking some light paths.

It seems the darkness took way too long to subside,
and happiness deeply resisted your side.
That broken,shattered heart now
can't smile.
It's in terrible pain
and the same it provides.

It breaks other's heart to gain some relief,
little does it know that hating can't cure the wound.
But, the only thing I tell you is
What goes around come around.

Love purely but wisely,
b'coz ---
Love that one person
and
you get learnings of LIFETIME.

Alteration!!

I waited long for the pain to subside,
And, thought you would come back and reside.

I am shattered today,
Broken to pieces.
My faith has just died a mighty death.
The smile which you see from now on,
Belongs to a Phoney fille.

I detest you,
for the brutal slay.
I no more can find me again.

But, I now got to know,
Every one hurts one day,
The sweetness is hatred in disguise.

You killed the soul
showed me a hefty fall.

Of all I wish,
I ask to recover.
I ask forgiveness to believe someone like you.
I redeem the good to give the world back
what it gave to me.

I , hereby, decide to be happy.
No matter what life brings on!!

..

The night was still dark. And, it felt I would never feel the essence of sunrise.
The memories still giving the chasm between the two worlds.
I could not really sleep well. In the midst of night, rather morning I would say I woke up and took an exit from my room.
Perhaps, fresh air was required despite of the silence in my room.
I moved slowly without making much noise. Even the steps felt heavy not just the heart.

Wondering, why does days like these pop up, although everything seems moving smoothly, I am still suffering. "Restless"- finally, I found the word to define exactly how I felt !!
I was restless. Something was, perhaps, wrong at Cloud 9!!
I could not feel the peace I used to be cuddled with.
I could not feel the happiness which often surrounded me.
No!! Loneliness alone can't be the root cause. It has got to be something else that is killing me inside out.

The night sky was not so dark now. I just took a slow walk on my terrace. Walking is, I suppose, an answer to all unanswered questions. They never get solved but the burden is often reduced.
You tend to feel better. Probably, walking can only second sleep in providing relief and of course with people like me : Walking rocks!!

I have often noticed that some days turn out to do more damage than others.
Some people turn out more dangerous than others. And, often people close to your heart
hurt you harder than your enemies. And, some days all this crap is not easy to believe but actually true.

Some days, we try to connect the dots but can't. And, the days like this is when this entire life becomes  a hard question to answer.
The series of "WHY" have no answers at time.

I still, don't have too many answers. I am just hoping someday I will actually know- WHY things turned out the way they are.
Was that destined to happen that way or Was it the outcome of some decisions or merely a combination of both- I really don't know much.

Hope!! someday I will re-blog stating how did the dots actually connect!!
Amen!!

SomeDay !!

For some reason, we all are born.
And, it has taken me years to figure it out. Probably, I am still trying to figure out what it really is!!
A few decades back when life was still about getting into Junior High as they used to call the  10th standard in some shows- whose name I can't recall right now.

My life that time was surrounded by my first school which I loved, my comic book section, my pretty garden which is still a fond memory, the late night badminton games, the hide and seek hours and perhaps so many others.
I still recall those cramming of history lectures in my Balcony, and the most stupendous of all - looking at the night sky for hours and hours.

Life is changing each day I would say. But, somethings don't really change. I still crave for that night sky.
Sometimes, just trying to figure out the new constellations up in there which have mesmerized me more than anything in this world.

So, we grow up. Yes, we all do.
Dreaming about getting the best this life has to offer. But, when we get it-Did we really want it or something more.
What I have learnt is - we always ask for more:School-->College-->Job-->New Job-->Satisfying Job-->Highly Paid Job-->Family and probably it goes on.

And, sometimes we put at stake the most important thing we have--Ourselves.
Sounds heavy, but I feel I have changed.

I hope some day things will find their way.

Some day, everything will be in order.

And, when it does: I must have done something right.

The Changing Times

Silently rose that first step,

Who knew will it flunk now and then,

Who knew it will give wings to fly..

Or someday lead everything to disdain.

Such are the glories,

 They flare,

We glare,

And, Up there,

Somewhere, Is a burst of applauds~

Sooner, I realized,

the praises were a Myth,

Changes are for Real.

The madness.

the wildness,

which drives us crazier each day..

The shattered hopes,

the lost love..

Midway which have mattered the most..

The evanescent memories..

Which were holded for so long,

There is no left intention,

For such Retention..

A prodigious Vision,

For a Fresh Start,

Is Up on my Mind,

That's all what I have had to wind.

गम तो हर किसी की ज़िन्दगी मे है ,

पर हमने मुसकुराहटों को तवजो दी है  ।

एक किनारा तो सबके पास है 

हमने फिर भी  आसमानों से ही ख्वाइश की है ।

नमी तो आँखों मैं भी कम नहीं 

दिल ने फिर भी बारिश की तमन्ना की है ।

गतिरोध अक्सर हमे मिल ही जाते है ,
पर थम कर चलने का चलन हम ही तो लाये हैं
कितने सूनी रातों मैं हम भी तो मुस्कुराये हैं ।

ठोकरें सब को मिली ही होंगी,
पर ठोकरों से ही तो हम सबक सीख पाए है ।

:-)

The memories.

So, as I sit with that one cup of tea on my table, still staring at the empty walls- the life seemed to changed a lot- to the extent, we never dreamt of.
Suddenly, bunking lectures is transformed to bunking office, and I must say it is damn difficult job to do.
Suddenly, the tears of happiness have transformed to a silent smile.
I look back and recall these were the end days. When the last papers ended and that joy of relief that finally, we all are Engineers and nobody has to enter that lab again.
But, adding to that, the agony and pain followed - which stated we will never enter those labs Together again.

Although, a year is not too much a time but it was our first year which made us the great friends we are today or may be some initial days at school. May be this is the effect of the sickness I am suffering from that I feel nostalgic and a bit sad over the endings which has taken long time back. "Long time" - but it feels like yesterday only we entered college!!
Wondering in the dreamy ashes, my mind dwells in the aroma where the rains were looked forward to.
Umbrellas embraced the classrooms charm and rain dance did not take place in Adventure Island lol.
The greenery and the peace, the sub-conscious  us who enjoyed even the walks along the ways.

I bet everyone of us must have met someone or the other who shared there happiness, pains and notes :-)
Probably, college has given us so much to remember that although this life is moving with such  a fast pace; whenever I look back and ponder- there is that silent smile and slightly moist eyes. Perhaps, it's a sign of the memories which will be cherished forever.

I remember those long sleepless nights which we have spent drawing the electronics circuit, learning the analog electronics and cursing ourselves for wasting so much time watching Damon Salvatore/Fringe/HIMYM and not to forget the Korean Series.
As girls, we all love to talk but I have generalized this fact that during exams the whole group will come together and have chit-chats over a literally non-related topic when you have a exam tomorrow.
Although, this didn't happen with me at school but I have had friends in college who made me study and to be true -have taught me one night before exam even when there own syllabus is not complete.

17th May 2011- last day for ECE-D batch in college.
Seems like yesterday that each of us is craving for their BTP(B.Tech Project), fighting with those PPts and cursing the vivas ;P
But, there had been the great times between the tense environment where one of us will crack a joke and the others laugh aloud :)

I see those parting away posts on my FB wall daily. For my little juniors, relive these moments howsoever you can, how so many times you may, as these won't comeback ever even if crave very hard for them from now own.
Sometimes, in the lust of desires what we forget is what we have today. To appreciate and love it. Since, it has already ended for us, for those of you - if you still have a few days - make each of that day worth remembering.
Such are the tests of time; it gives us life in moments: you either live them or the time is gone forever.

With that last sip of tea, as I wind up:
Just got a message from one of my closest friend which says:
"Have you ever wondered how many thoughts,feelings and emotions are hidden behind this simple sentence:
"KUCH NAHI YAAR, BAS AISE HI TERI YAAD AA RAHI THI".

Probably, it says it all.
We don't miss friends- we just miss their jokes, their presence, their gyan, the cafe hours, the outing, the movies, the theme birthday parties, sharing the joys n sorrows and still loving each other without changing and accepting each other as the way we are. :D


In time to come, may be we don't find each other every time but this is just to say: I wish you all the best for all future endeavors. Hope, we all live happily wherever we are.

XOXO
Chitranshi (C2)

There is no second you.

There

I came and found you!

Smiled and moved on.

But, then you came again,

and we smiled together,

talked, laughed and

grew.

Then one day,

life drifted us apart.

It is a trodden road,

I would bring you back if I could,

Still, some days the cool breeze makes me smile,

And, the stars shine for a while.

I found many amongst the crowd.

But, there is none like you.

I found many along the lane,

But, none could walk beside me.

I learnt and moved on,

We had our moments and memories,

It is difficult to find another you.

As none can second you.

New Girl In The City

This dates back to the time when I wrote:"Choices have their PAYOFFs"- one of the intimate articles I have ever written. And, everything seemed so difficult a task to be achieved.

It's almost 9 months since then- sounds very much like Jab We Met's Kareena Kapoor's dialogue. :P

And, yet Delhi is not completely explored due to a varied reasons. But, sooner or later I hope to see it all and write for each of them.

To be true only a little parts are seen. But, now it's my Delhi. "Meri Dilli" as everyone says.

So, every morning when I watch that Metro rushing towards it's direction- It fills me with a new hope altogether.And, every night when I see those stars and go back to sleep, I end up in my yet existing and so called defined Fantasy land.

Meanwhile, in this journey so far- I have met many people but it's not about people anymore.

It's just about how am I exploring myself. I am not too great but despite I feel proud whenever I do a thing which  I could never have thought to do by myself.

There are days where I get to know I had been selfish. There are also days where I have felt that I have that soft heart too. There are days where everything clicks. There are mighty days when somebody makes me smile. There are days when everything pisses me off and vice-versa.

There are still days where I keep finding a few friends with whom I have started loving to talk, going for a walk with them and taking out time from the little time I spare for myself.

There are still people who listen to me and to whom I listen. There are days life comes with surprises.

There are still days where movies are the only friends to rescue. There are still days where I miss the writer in me who has recently started craving for photography every now and then.

So, who's interested in gifting me a NIKON camera?? Anyone!!

I really am not sure what of the above mentioned things accounted to being in the New City I'm in.

But, yes!! I don't hate it anymore. I just keep learning each day craving for a little more, losing patience at times and gaining it as well at times.

The best of Delhi comes in the form of food and shopping.

Food- as most people in South complain: is completely North Indian and I have discovered I am still that person who will choose Aalo ki Tikki over Pizza :D

Ice-creams during chilling winters and walking by the streets in the evening.

The first time ever when I shopped alone is still a memory and since then it has become a habit.

People still wonder that I have changed a lot. But, it's still the same me who loves to be happy and be around the same genre of people- kidding with them and consuming life by drinking it to the fullest.

Signing Off:

New Girl In The City: And, this time my new shoes don't pain that much. I have started adoring them.

Always Remember: Cinderella is the reason how a new pair of shoes can change your life.

You never know which beautiful destination is covered by them.

They say: Always wear the best shoes: they take you places.

So, falling in love with the city as I'm falling in love with my smile too.

Hoping to be back and this time with something about Delhi.

Power Corrupts

I was in school and one of those kids who were always teacher's favourite.
Surely, that thing changed in college. I remember people often turning to me to get a job done as they knew that particular teacher would agree to me.

No, it's not boasting at all. That would have been probably years ago. As far as the present is concern, I don't even recall much of school. But, yes the lessons which must have been learnt then are learned now.
So, was not that favoritism wrong? Well, that time - no it wasn't. I must always be right!! Ya.. that was the same attitude till few days back.
And, all of a sudden- life wanted me to learn something more- something to add on.

So, today - favoritism is not my cup of tea.
When the elections just turned down on Mayawati this year; many of us were happy. But, ofcourse there was this sudden reaction - If they have power, they ought to be corrupt.
True!! Didn't many of us thought the same. Yes! we did.

Power is a mighty word. It creates, it destroys. It makes, it destructs.
The charm of power is that all of us- mind you- all of us are working our ass off to earn it; craving each day to hamper somebody's else life without even realizing that -it is this point the chain starts from. It is this point where every other person keeps acquiring the same properties and starts losing his hope of fair chances in anything he would have ever dreamt of.

The reservations are such a perfect example.
They could have liberalized the money spent on fees, form and books.
But, they preferred liberalizing marks- which was hard earned, must have taken a whole year from those people's life.But, probably cheaper than money. Or else what might be the reason to rate money over hard work?

The last 2year in IT world have made me see this Power and favoritism yet again.
People with hard earned name rarely survive and hard earned buttering capacity always do.
From a promotion to an onsite to a growth stategy--how pathetic does it feel
when you know that you were more deserving and yet someone else walked out with the candy
b'coz he/she is somebody else Eye-Candy.
Well, such is our world. Such is our generation and the most ironic the people aged enough to be included in the older generations are the top management and corrupt everything in and out.

Where are we ending into-- A society where Professionalism is another form of flattery.
They might be your friends or Friends with Benefits- but they have earned and reached a stage where
the other person will take a long time to reach without a GodFather.
Ahh!! Just the typical Bollywood Style.

Dreams

That girl who worked in high spirits,
when dropped her head,
the wind came rushing by,
took that layers of shining thread.
That beautiful aroma
which it created,
when the shining hairs,
 scattered over her eyes and head.


The little fingers,
which ran across the face curves,
Gently they moved,
Scintillated sparks and flashes.


She regained her posture,
His attention made her feel perked up,
The glorifying smile,
which makes the moving world go still.
Softly, she made an exit.
Vanishing from the eyes.


His eyes rolled and searched her,
in every nook and corner.
Dazzled by the beauty,
charmed by the Aura,
Lamenting for letting her escape.
He knew she was the one.

And, he woke up blinking,
Was that a dream?
Sat still, no motion could be seen.

Is this that one dream,
puzzled by the jerk,
Surprised by the innocence.
The young fellow just got up,
Still figuring out..


Are some dreams so close to the heart,
that seem to consume you,
some dreams carry the cart,
they seem to amuse you.

एक परिपक्वता की मंशा  में जीवन यापन करता मैं,

किसी दिशा की ओर बढता मैं,

हर दिन इसी से गुजरता मैं |

जीवन की आपाधापी में खुद को समझता मैं,

उलझन में  तो सारे हैं,

पर उनके आगे बढ़ता मैं |

एक युग का दर्शन होता है,

गतिरोध और विलंभ का साथ संगम होता है,

इस  ओर मैं अपनी सीमा को  प्रदर्शित करता मैं |

That thing called LOVE.

While I sat to write this at 1:19 am on a Saturday morning, I just don't have much idea on how it is going to turn out.
While IF ONLY taught, Love is to die for making memories which will live behind.
While Jab We Met came and reflected, you end up finding the right person somehow.

Love, probably, is a sense to give and expect nothing much in return. But, not everyone gets hold of it.
The sad thing is many regret it as most of the time you end up being heartbroken.
Love, but is a genuine feeling.
There are different phases of life. Not everyone gets their first love.
Perhaps, I always believed that love is when you have the ability to spend your whole life with the same person appreciating the dedication, ignoring the mistakes, supporting even the wrong decisions and enjoying growing old with someone.
Perhaps, growing old with someone is a thought which brings smile always.

Perhaps, we all find a person to grow old with, to live with, to love life as we love him/her.
So, take a break from the busy life, look around - you never know what life keps in store for you.

In the hustle-bustle of a city life,
I saw a little baby dying,
the old men crying,
and the youngsters enjoying.

In those long lanes,
I saw a different world around.
The silence crawling by,
and winking at the pain.

That one window pane,
which used to see the rains,
enjoy the tea,
and endless talks
is now no more found.

That one door,
where everyone knocked,,
from a long time
has not heard any sound.
People,
whose talks mesmerized everything
has been lost in their own world.

Clutter is the only word,
which matches every feeling.

The beauty of life is,
it makes you smile in times of pain,
and shed tears in ecstasy.

My heart drops,
Clingy still,
It's a beautiful day,
The wind touches me slightly,
vanishes in the dark.
I can still feel the charm,
soft, gentle and calm.

The trees swing swiftly,
I watch,
I smile,

The solitude made me a better observer.

Lost words.

The little pleasures,

The simple gestures,

In spite of everything,

when everything seems fading.

The perfect winters,

where sun plays hide and seek.

The rains which are often missed.

Of all the things,

Which made me,

I want my WORDs back to me.

How can I let thou leave,

you are a reliever

You make me believe.

But, when I find you lacking,

my heart breaks.

It pains,

it drills.

But, nowhere can I reach

the destination which is Insane.

If Prayers could be moulded,

I would ask:

To get me my happiness and peace.

 Words.. my words!!

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu: EMAET

"Paniyon k jaisi hain yeh muskane , behne de
 Labjon main btana hai ni zaroori, rehne de"

It has been really long since Rockstar released and none other movie caught the attention.

But, just one fine morning EMAET's promo glued the eyes to the television set. And, probably from that very time, I wanted to watch the movie.

On the other hand, the tragedy of life is that nobody was ready to watch it with me because of a trillion reasons.

And, the one reason for the same was not liking the reviews.

So, finally I watched it alone. Forgot the world for a few hours. Even forgot that I have things to complete and just quit from another tiring/terrible day at work.

Just for that last line, I hope only my dear ones follow this blog. Sometimes, I think even they don't. lol.

Anyways, for the movie- I certainly loved it and probably was not criticizing the movie for the very first time.

One fine morning, you are born in a perfectly disciplined family where in your early age you have been taught to dress perfectly, return on time from that 1hour you are given to play with your friends.

 Rahul's case was probably worse than mine. :)

Although, there are scenes where you know things are exaggerated. We are used to these vulgar jokes in Karan Johar's movies.

Geet from Jab We Met has been the most charming Bollywood character ever. I have always loved the pace, the dialogues, the sincerity with the role.Also, not to forget the silent and shy lover -Shahid Kapoor who adds the beauty in the movie.

You might not find Geet in Riana but you can actually fall for Kareena Kapoor. She's actually pretty.

For Imran- I have never felt he acts. This has began from Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na..to I hate Love Stories.,.and even in EMAET.

Probably, he speaks much fewer dialogues face to face. Probably, he likes the narration. Although, I am completely comfortable with it.But, In EMAET, he actually does justice to the role. From that Mumma's boy to a perfect friend cum lover, he is just worthy of another applause.Those few scenes- where Imran says-I still think, one fine morning everything will be understood..and you can actually find yourself relating to him.

A disciplined guy -after losing his job + Girlfriend meets this Messy Riana who is just too irritating.

But, that Sunshine Girl role completely suits Kareena. And, to be honest, Kareena actually does that to the big screen. She's loud rather very loud but you will love the witty replies she gives Imran.That one girl, who when enters everything is glowing,shining and is beautiful.

Although Auntyji was the most irritating song I ever heard. After watching it in the movie, the perception changed. I actually love the song.

Coming to the music, EMAET title track transacts you to a Party mode.

Gubbare might sound idiotic at first- but as usual-listen to the lyrics and you will eventually like it.That's actually a beautiful track.

For "Aahatein", it had been my favorite even before the movie released. The music, the lyrics and just the feel of it.

For "Kar chalna shuru.." I would just say:

There might be real life situations where you end up falling in love with your best friend without even knowing the consequence. Although most bollywood movies have followed the same theme but had a happy ending.

But, I loved the open ending. Sometimes, it's how it happens in the real world too. You don't know how to react to that one person you have believed for so long.

You don't know how to face that one person with whom you can discuss your long list of crushes, your likes and dislikes.You don't know how to bring things back to the same level where they were without changing that loud conversation you used to have, wherein you can call a friend at any time without even thinking.

Probably, if you end up falling in love with your best buddy and find that the same feelings are not reciprocated- I, particularly feel that you should be thankful to God that it was your friend as someday in the long time to come-"Your friendship will always overcome love." And if are lucky enough, you might get your lover as your friend. :D

And,for Imran- he's cute. And, looks great from complete jerk to welcoming his new life with zest.

As sung-"Aee..dil tujhe pta hai,

yeh lamhe aur kya hain"
Also, the way Kareena has dealt with such a critical situation is appreciable.

EMAET was not about - two entirely different people meeting and parting away. It was just a reminder of although how much you care for someone you love, your friendship can save the memories.  Probably, that affection would last long, maybe forever. But, sometimes,it's not about getting the person to walk along with you. Sometimes, it just walking happily on different paths-yet loving that one person you can't be with.

I am really not sure why people said it's a waste of time.

I simply loved it.

Despite the exaggeration, the loud comedy - I just loved the ending and here comes:-

"Jo hua hai woh hota  hai,

Jo  hona hai woh hona hai.

Kar chalna shuru tu,

Mud k na dekh tu,

Jaise hai sahi hai,

Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu."

That part of me!!

Walking by,
The solitude is it,
The mere presence of the sounds bring a smile.

Those days,
where a clique was seen.
 I am waiting,now, for a while.

There is someone, something lacking behind,
That was one of it's kind.
Missy, have you lost your mind?
Perhaps, you also wined !!

I fail to understand,
the depth, the pain
looks like agony in the rain.

That world of mine,
where every smile bewilders,
every heart beautify.

I now know-
In this hurry-
I left the innocence far behind.
Traversing each day -
 Recalling that Persona

where I was I,
with some resemblance
in each face that ever charmed.
Left are the glimpses,
The morning sunshine,
Alluring winters,
and the memories behind..

Dedicated to that lovely bunch of  FRIENDS I have!!

To Each It's Own!!

 

Below is one of my favorite lines written by one of my friends - Sakshi Kukreja !!

"Before you can grow up, you must fall in love three times.

Once, you must fall in love with your best friend, ruining your friendship forever. This will teach you who your true friends are, and the fine line between friendship and more....

Once you must fall in love with someone you believe is perfect. You will learn that no one is perfect, and that you should never be treated as anything less than you deserve....

And once, you must fall in love with someone that is exactly like you. This will teach you about who you are, and who you want to be...

And when you’re through with all that, you learn that the people who care about you the most are the ones that you hurt, and the ones that hurt you are the ones that needed you the most.

But most of all, you learn that love is only a concept and is not something that can be defined, it is different to each and every person on this earth, knowing that everyone wants to be loved."

This doesn't end here. So, lets add more to it.

They say a heart break is necessary to understand the sudden transformation from a happy to a suffering person and to be happy again. Also, although the above lines say to fall in love thrice- but even if that happens once and follows every criteria explained- you learn a lot even then.

Yes, it's true that love is only a concept. Some express, some shy away, some care, some fight, some let it go, some care to hold on. But, the one I liked is hoping for other person's well-being even if he/she is not the one for you. (Probably, it's the Vampire Diaries/Bollywood masala which brought this one up- but, again some believes are still difficult to shatter). Nevertheless, love has another concept - which says it's selfless.

But, here comes my explanation which says it's not selfless.You are happy in somebody's happiness as it makes you happy. So, finally if it was all for my happiness, how is it selfless. Perhaps, everyone longs for love despite the fact only a few understand the depth.

Anyways, I really loved your lines SAKSHI - in case you are reading this one.

Punner

That shivering which made everything still,

The fire is no more a symbol of hatred,

It  gives away warmth,

It burns,

It destroys,

But, amidst the destruction,

While acting as a relief provider,

No one curses it.

I wonder,

how selfish is Human,

Criticizes when fire ruins,

Appreciates when fire ruins for his mere sake.

The dilemma from ages,

the beauty or the devastation.

For the same piece of work,

Some witness the glory,

some get satisfaction,

some enjoy the fete,
