Happiness...

Emotions are endless and the people intent on naming them have named some too; despair, sorrow, gratitude, lust, greed . . .lot named and a lot more to be named, Some of them seem to be the same, but somehow they differ a lot, in existence and otherwise. Among all of this endless sea of emotions, happiness is the one for which all of us live for, it’s the essence and meaning of life and what we are.

We all seek happiness in every possible direction; in fact we all are basically destined to seek it. Happiness is in abstract the true essence of life and we search for this in future, past and present, we look for every nook and corner of our lives for this. . . And yes, at times we just stumble upon the happiness given by a friend’s present and sometimes from the smiles we receive, at times from our first salary and sometimes from something given, sometimes a cool breeze can bring you happiness, but yet again the warmth of fire can also bring smiles, for we all seek happiness every day, but have you ever realized that all the while it was with you, near you and even in you? It is there just waiting to burst out . . . into the twinkle in your eyes, the dimples on your cheeks.

And sometimes you just have to let it out, show that you are happy to the rest of the world . . . for happiness when let out, multiplies!! It spreads around; your smile makes others happy just like their smile makes you happy . . . sometimes no matter how old you are, the breeze which touches your face gives you a feeling like you are falling in love again. Show that to the world, to life, that you are never going to stop falling in love with it.

Love new definitions....

Love was once a dream, something that fulfilled our existence…finding the right partner was considered more important than getting into the right career...giving importance to your partner was more important than demanding personal space, sharing was important than gifting…

Girls used to blush a lot and guys feared talking to them…You loved for getting married not to check whether it would work or not…You could die for one another….nothing was more important than your alone time…fights happened a lot almost everything ending in the coziness of each others arms..Love existed and was evident…then times changed, emotions transformed, memories become lost and Love also transformed and then came the new age Love.

Love became more about demanding space and expectations heightened…Love became materialistic and people started becoming afraid of the word…things started becoming more and more complicated and new concepts emerged while the free thinking world came up with concepts like living together the opportunists coined “friends with benefits” and the western world discovered the social dilemma of dating and then things became all the more complicated…. But even in this conflicted world we saw Love in several forms…sometime in a bus stop and in other times we saw people dancing in rains…a lot more happened in our imagination and movies..whatever we did to our self Love was not finished..and this is the story till date…the story of Love will continue, but what ever way it transcends it wont leave us, because we all are destined to Love one day or another, one way or another....

My Experiments with truth - On Love

I woke up to the morning blooms with a jerk, mornings where not the same anymore, the happy sunshine's where transforming into the thorns that steal whatever I have left of my dreams. Eyes closed and consciousness coming to my brain after that hard to achieve sleep was excruciating, this confused feeling of love and sorrow was something new that I was getting used to but its alien feelings that are left after an invasion and the irony is that I am feeling alienated to myself.

Love is a fancy word whose true meaning should be lying somewhere as scriptures in the tomb of Tutankhamun or maybe its something that we will all find it in futures to come, but whatever the name maybe two people have to go through a lot of things to live together if that is what love should achieve. But what is love? a mental state, a level of consciousness, a setup between two people, dope, adjustments? What? Is there a theoretical love & practical love, realistic or fantasy love, selfless of selfish love? Indeed things are complicated.

The Upanishads defines Love on a completely different dimension; a very simple meaning, but now it doesn't come under the category of "practical love" its not worth mentioning here but if you are reading this and you wanna talk higher meanings of things I have enough time to waste on.. :P

Practical Love

A definition would be to say that its all about meeting up expectations, understanding & acting upon that, its like a million agreements signed together and each day more clauses keeps on adding, so if you are someone who thinks a lot, is sentimental, emotional or has issues regarding memorizing things please stay away because every time an implied or said agreement is breached you are in deep shit.

Practical love in a way is all about "Socially accepted loving principles" the acceptance part could be the generation, social hang around's, friends or a fantasy about love itself. So if you are creative or highly artistic or you want your finger print in what ever you do, conventional love is not your thing. Love is such a simple feeling, but we don't like simple things, we keep on adding stuff until it becomes so complicated that it wont work out.
