child like love


What is the difference in childish love and child like love?
She asked me looking at the tiny flower in her hand
Startled I looked at her
She was still caressing the tiny yellow flower in her hand
Without any thought I started to blabber some words that made no sense
She patiently heard it out with a confused look in her eyes
I surrendered; after all I really had no answer
With a disappointed look and a weary smile she turned away
She had no idea how much that hurt me; to disappoint her
I ran to catch up with her as she swam effortlessly in that yellow farm of sunflower
Her pale blue dress matching with the pale blue sky,
Her supple skin matching with the thin clouds
She looked like a part of sky fallen on a yellow bed
I held her hand and made her stop
She tuned to me with a question mark on her face
Her face so bright, her eyes so deep and her lips so pink
I pushed her hair behind her ear and said
‘when I can’t bare absolutely anyone touching you, talking to you or even looking at you; that’s childish love, and yet when I wait for you to finish talking to the world; when I hand you the wooden log, when you hold my hand as u get up, when I wait to feed you your favourite berries just to watch you smile, is child like love.’
She smiled so wide, even the sky seemed small
She cried such sweet tears even the sugar seemed bitter
She laughed so soft even the cotton felt harsh
She had no idea how much it made me happy; to simply watch her

'creative brain and abstract person'

Image
Image via Wikipedia 'creative brain and abstract person' is the compliment i received from a friend on orkut. This is not the first time I have received this compliment, but it is the first time it has angered me. Previously I use to like it when people called me creative, it use to flatter me, in my mind I would say "wow man! that's great people think I am creative they think am smart , I must be at a higher level than the others". But today it just annoyed me, 'creative'.. bullshit, either they are saying it cause they want me to appreciate their work too, or they are just being polite, i don't know. Sometimes I feel like a total screw up, I don't have the street smartness or the skills of playing politics and manipulating things, I am utterly lazy and awkwardly shy, how am i ever gonna sustain in this media industry tat i haven't even entered yet? I know what an utter moron I am, people never see that(if hiding tat flaw is creativity then ...

love is air

Image
one of my friend was asked "what is true love to you?", he said "its a waste of time and money". one "yes" followed this remark. Of course they were both hurt in love, and drunk at that time. But seriously what is love? If I were asked the same question, I would say"love is like air" (not love is in the air that's a different phrase , i hope u know). It has different elements and compositions like air. It has different forms like air, and just like air you can never see it but feel it. It is as limitless and free as air. I personally hate the words 'boyfriend and girlfriend' sounds too lame, typical and possessive to me. All you can do is breath love, feel it, enjoy it and then let it pass through you making space for the next. Ever heard of air to be in one place forever?? no right!! then don't review the entire show of LIFE on the basis of just one episode. love one and love all. Be happy people.

ambitions or craziness

graduating from college gives you weird feelings you are happy tat finally you have graduated and no more exams , sleepless nights spent over assignments and projects and at the same time no more daily hangout wid friends either. but that's still something very common. i went and collected my final year mark sheet yesterday . somehow i was not excited to see it, I was not excited to know my result. I knew i wud pass, n i did, may be tats y i don't feel the excitement . what i had always worried abt is making this education worth all the money i paid for it. but here i am having second thoughts about changing fields , that wud include another 3-4 yrs of college education and 4-5 lakhs of rupees, neither of which i am willing to spend. worst is i don't noe which field to get into if i actually do change. this has always been a problem for me since i was school kid. y cant i fix my mind to one thing? i have been accused of being unstable all my life. honestly,...
