Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet ………


Taking a break from my busy life, I was on a 5 day trip to Ponmudi in God’s own country. When I landed on the serene landscape of that much sought after place of visit, it appeared to me as if I have left behind every cruel reality of past & currently entering to a mystical wonderland. It appeared as if the wind whispering melody, the sky humming along with it, and the entire nature welcomes me to the much awaited elixir of life; an antidote to the city busy life.
I was stationed on a tree house aimed at getting a feel of staying amidst nature & experiencing nature at its best. It was a rainy evening that day that was conveying a feeling of coziness……suddenly my eyes found two love birds in this sensual rain, both being completely drenched, a place where two lovers feel the distance between them being erased. I could clearly fathom the mystifying power of love through the action of these two loving pairs & could witness love surging through the tone of the speechless souls. The boy was trying to appreciate the transformed beauty of the girl when rain drops falling off her wet lips. The very moment brought back the old memories & every moment was filled with full of passionate love & sweet feelings. A love that is a desire for beauty - a value that transcends the particularities of the physical body, such love was transcendentally motivated by a deep respect for the lady.
It appeared to me as if the heart of the boy was singing this tune:
“Jo bhi jitne pal jeeyun Unhe tere sang jeeyun Jo bhi kal ho ab mera Usse tere sang jeeyun
Jo bhi saansein main bharoon Unhe tere sang bahroon Chaahe jo ho raasta Usse tere sang chaloon”
The entire nature was celebrating this moment – the extrasensory psychic communication of the two supreme souls.
The unabated rain was constantly pouring in creating a rift between two love birds & after a while separation seemed insurmountable. Even the unflinching magnetic attraction between the two souls was not able to temporarily halt the pouring drops & keep them united – at least for a possibility of the carnival of a momentary reunion. But the fortune has already made its choice………….however left behind a testimony of true love, that was pure, chaste, undemanding and immortal.
I was stuck contemplating, "kitna mazboor hai unka pyaar"; which compelled them to submit to this rain & they had to separate. However my mind was constantly occupied with one thought – “the intensity of pain upon separation” & I was deeply engrossed in that perplexing thought :- A love that is divine, a love that is whole-hearted, a love that is completely consuming, a love that grows with separation & deepens with sacrifice.

Eternal Love & its Questionable Existence


Love….an eternal word which knows no bounds, which does not care who you are, which does not differentiate between two souls, which does not demand anything in reciprocation; rather conveys one & the only one message…. “I am eternal & my true followers (who understand me from their heart) transcend above all the societal vertical limits that have been erected to create barrier between two souls”. Love feels the pain due to various equations that are being played with it, but yet it does not expect anything in return. It only believes that true love is something which can’t be demanded back in reciprocation; rather it can only be showered upon its counterpart. That time communication between two souls does not require any medium, it does not understand any dialect; but only the psychic communication between two souls becomes the only means to understand each other. True love is attained when silence between two souls appears comfortable.
The most difficult phase of life is not when no one understands you; it’s when you don’t understand yourself. Why is this longing for someone whom you have never known, never seen, never met in person? Why the turbulent waves disturb your heart, mind & soul ? Why Why Why ? There is no answer to these questions. Because these questions themselves have chosen to remain unanswered in perpetuity.
In reality, some things in life never change, Sometimes in life I don’t find reasons, some moments in life aren’t forgotten, sometimes I lose hope… When time rolls by I try to forget what holds me on… some people in life are a part of me, And when I let them go, I never lose them because I find them living in me. That is the best gift love can give back to its true followers.
Sometimes i feel upset about the superficial attitude of human being towards love which is devoid of any depth of feelings. Many ups & downs in human relationships witnessed by me have made me believe that true love does not exist in reality. As they say “Yeah pyar kitabon mein hoti hai, shayari mein hoti hai, sacchai mein nahi”. I question that, I object that. Why is this so? Why can’t we imbibe these eternal selfless feeling of love within ourselves? Are we incapable of it? Yes, probably yes. We fear of being cheated, we fear of being overwhelmed by this that may seem insurmountable. So we run away from it; try to show case that this is not true in life. And most of the time this works out, not because we want it that way, but because we choose it to be that way.
Still I caress this eternal feeling of love & sacrifice forever in my life with the hope that someday someone will step into my life & make me feel that this is one of the most valued treasure (which can not be priced anyway) that is in possession with me which is highly valued by her.


Indeed owing to the present circumstantial evidence of today's modern lifestyle & superficial human feelings, i still feel Eternal Love to be nothing other than A Questionable Existence.
