DESIRE

Amen, HE whose repertoire was extensive, granted their wish. They were not ambivalent of the decision and were super excited and happy. As naive as they were, thought: “We deserve it. He could not have said No, He loves us”. Their wish came true. So, what did they wish for? Pretty interestingly, in desire to eschew separation ever, they thought that we should be together in every possible relation existing to feel the emotions of different relationships that could help them grow together. They oblivious of what lies ahead, were in state of felicity. Indeed they were soul mates. This anecdot left HIM with some unsettling feelings, HE was thinking, “They don’t know what they are asking for”. HE, who granted the wish, of course he knew what is lying ahead but he didn’t want to hurt them he loved them like as if they were his own. In the blink of an eye, one of them just disappeared. She was taken aback she could not find him anywhere. She searched him everywhere - riverside, mountains, deserts, she combed through every possible place known to her but could not find him. With every passing moment her restlessness grew. She started feeling the pangs of fear and sadness and sorrow. She started praying and asked Him to help her, she was inconsolable, all efforts were of no use and HE could not bear that so HE explained. “I gave you what you both wanted; you both will be in a relation of Father and Daughter. And for him to be your father he has to be born ahead of you. Then you will be united with him to share those precious moments. You will feel love, the true pure love with no expectations when he will hold you for the first time after you were born. That one moment is called LIFE and you will experience it together”. She kept on crying for she could not bear the distance of years between both of them.”But you both asked for this, Didn’t you? Even I tried to make you understand but you both wanted it so desperately that you forgot that for every decision there will be consequences. So, just wait and you will be united with him. That’s my promise. And you know it”. She cried out loud and kept on sobbing for they did not understand what they were asking for. She wanted to be always with him but they were so naive to understand and wished for something that brought them pain of separation. HE is a well wisher of all of his own but we fail to understand HIM and pay the price. Blinded by our own desires, clouded by our own perceptions and judgments we don’t know what we wish for what we want and just don’t let HIM do HIS work. Don’t ask just tell HIM, just tell HIM your needs He will definitely think about it.

STRENGTH..., Whose forte is it?

She was talking to this colleague of hers at work, nice composed guy. They exchanged their morning greetings, and during the course started their discussion about how a man manages himself after death of his spouse and how a woman manages her life after death of her husband. From there it took off to man and woman’s strengths and capabilities. He emphasized that even though fairer sex is considered weak but still a women can handle situations better. Surprisingly enough for her to hear this from a guy who looks like the epitome of strength and power. He announced, GOD made woman stronger than man, well with that being said it made her reflect ..why do people still can’t accept the fact that women ARE survivors,and ARE strong. Then he mentioned that men are not WIRED that way to take emotional pressures. (And still strength is synonymous with physical aspect...what an irony). Even though herself being a feminist by heart she was at her best of feigning modesty by still listening to her friend smilingly when he made a remark that probably earlier society and generation knew that already that women would do better than their male counterparts no matter what situation they were thrown into so that’s why they always tried to dominate them by making them feel lower and making them forget their innate powers. She decided not to think anything else but to draw some strength out of this. And that is true strength.

What's in the name?

What's in the name?
A very famous quote, but I did't know that I will start my blog with this. Even though some would say name is an artificial meaningless convention. Some may say, but i do not believe in that and feel so strongly about what a name should be. To me it is my identity. Today I was given not a new name but a whole new meaning of my name. No I did not change my religion or status or anything that lead to this change. A dear friend gave me something which I can for sure consider the best gift ever. You must be thinking, why I am so sore about this whole name thing, its just that growing up, i never liked my name. For many reasons, I can't list all but the ones that tops the charts are..any guesses ??
It is such a common name and my siblings have a unique ones. Secondly it is already so short that you could hardly create a nick name of short name out of it and obviously my siblings have nice nicknames too. "Why?" was the question that I would always ask my parents. They could not understand what my issue was. They liked it. But anyways the most hurting part was that it meant "limit" or some would say "restriction"..yes , you heard it right. I could never understand why my parents who loved me to death could do this to their sweet little girl. May be they did not know the meaning or may be they did not do enough research. So many ifs thens elses would come to my mind but nothing could be done, destiny was written. Fate was sealed.
Anyways, I was living with my not so great name and today all of a sudden someone gave me a whole new meaning to my name. And source of their information..obviously one of our modern day guru - INTERNET. Why I myself did not googled it and saved myself some pain. But now i just feel elated because my name has an alternate meaning which i really like - "Treasure" tada.... Don't ask me what my name is. Because as I said earlier, (ya ya..i mean as Shakespeare said) what's in the name?.
