Love's Labour Lost

-

Some shoddy marketers have successfully managed to change the meaning of love. It's true, it is now confined to hearts, a bunch of heart shaped chocolates, a very 'cheesy' heart shaped cake, red roses and a big teddy holding a red heart, and everything painted in red.
Can some one please dump that stupid shape which some artist thought was a masterpiece? And that color red, it has some more meaning than being romantically triggering. What a tragic fall of an emotion which fabricated stories that made history and its characters, heroes.
People of my clan would agree that an imprisoned image of love made us almost hate it. Love ought to spread irrespective of gender, geography and gab and not incarcerated inside a foxy box. You love your spouse, your kids, your dog, your parents, your job, you love that favorite pair of shoes, old college rags with n number of memories, you love blueberry cake, you love the city you were brought up in, you love the bar you got sloshed with your best pals, you love the moment when you exchanged vows with your partner and when your baby first smiled at you, you were overwhelmed with love and many more emotions. There are a thousand more things that you really love. Love simply spreads.
I don’t know who and why someone made love a commodity that only a couple could share. For instance, if I say, I would give up treasure for love, we get a Romeo & Juliet kind of set up in our mind, but it can have a broader prospect. The arms of love are far more widespread than one can imagine. Like one chooses to live with the family than living alone, reason being love for the family. Or one goes out of the way to help a kin, for the same reason of love.
I feel pity for the poor emotion for having lost its chastity to reprobated thoughts. Though I do feel it has been overvalued through and through. You cannot survive on the basis of love alone. It may not be the primary ingredient of a happy relationship nevertheless; it ought to exist to make a relationship a success. Times have gone by and love’s labour has been lost to its own superfluity. The long arm of love has been cut down with its confinement to the chocolate boxes. And with time, it may lose its charm for we already see lack of trust, loss of peace and this absence of love will make an utter chaos.

Someone Just So Special!!!

-
You say you like someone, then you say you have crush on someone, and then there are some whom you just like all the time of your life but they are not your crush, not your beloved, neither your best friends. During the journey of life, we keep bumping into people of all sorts, style, manner, genre and psyche. We befriend some; we fall in love with a few and some just go by as “Wow! I like him” and then you forget them the next day. There is one more classification. There are some people you simply like throughout your life without much expectations. This liking is so mutual, you are utterly comfortable with this person, you enjoy talking, sharing; you build a great level of trust with each other; and things never change between you two. There is an unambiguous alliance, based on trust, care, admiration, and respect, that institutes a mutual affinity which continues forever. You get into relationships, you break off, you make new friends, you party with your childhood best friends, ...

Equal and Dignified

-
Equality- what exactly do we mean when we say we are equal. I suppose it is just that there is no bar to measure the others status, right or opportunity. When we say we women are equal to men, what do we intend to refer. Is it the prowess and potential of cerebral competence or the reference to the daily chores where we try to satisfy random egos in a hustle and bustle? My idea of equality has always been a free will to express your thoughts, take a stand of your own action, being independent of the biases. But when I hear people talking of comparisons on imprudent issues such as; if a man can go on a field trip so can a woman, if mothers have to stay home to look after the baby, why don’t the fathers do the same; it makes me rethink that its not just the stand of a man or a woman, we have very conveniently reiterated equality to settle our frustrated thoughts into mind boggling issues. I felt being a hypocrite when once a friend of mine refused to tip the waiter saying girls are not...

The pArt of Living Nonsense

-
The title itself may provoke numerous minds, but that’s the whole idea behind writing this post. To awaken those who are still sleeping with imposed facts shielding their thoughts. We were young enough when we first heard about these famous saints who brought the concept of living with the power of smiles. Though blasphemous it appeared, it did manage to gather a million blind followers. No fear keeps me away from criticizing it for I strongly feel against it. The whole concept is to pretend that nothing wrong can happen, maintain your positivity and just turn a deaf ear to you problems. They will either shun by themselves or give up under the power of your so called positivism. Psychologists suggest that optimism does bring about a change in a person’s perception. But this theory of achieving harmony with an exaggerated version of pretentious optimism eventually makes you so hollow that you stop defining your own instincts and powers. For all I ask here is how can you really over...
