I do....

Me {irritated while trying to prove that my horse is bigger than his}: Why don't you let me have it once in a while? 

He : I do. 

Two simple words. But... But.... 

Yes dear... I know that you do... But I have no explanations to why I do what I do when it comes to you. 

Sashtanga namaskaaram.......

Injection!!

Kiddo {during her bed time chit-chit} : Amma.... Is there an injection to have a baby?

I was going through a myriad of emotion when I heard this. The innocence in her voice did bring a smile on my face. But... I knew where this was coming from... So wasn't sure which direction to take things to. After great effort, I keep my tone neutral and ask...

Me : Why do you need an injection for that?
Kiddo {retreating...} : Nothing...
Me {probing further though I know the answer} : Is it because you don't want to get married?
Kiddo : Yes!! I do not want to get married.
Me : Why?
Kiddo : Because then all I will be doing is cooking & cleaning.

I was left wondering... Are we in the wrong country? Or were we just born into the wrong state in this country?

One Week Notice

I have one week... & I have been thinking the whole day... What would I want to do before I die....

One whole day & I still have nothing.

Is that a good thing????? 

Vikalpah

Shabda Jnana Anupati Vastu Shunyo Vikalpah 

When we imagine an object in our mind just by listening to some words, then it is called Vikalpa

                - Patanjali Yoga Sutras - made easy by Dr. Padiki Nagaraja Rao 

Vikalpah is mentioned by Sage Patanjali as one of the activities of the mind. Vikalpa refers to the knowledge we store in our mind based only on the words we hear. Vikalpa refers to unreal & non-existent objects. These impressions are created within our mind, using our imagination.

What is the source of such an unreal impression???? It is nothing but the impressions we have already created. The ones that spawned from other impressions. The ones that we constructed based on the words we heard (or overheard). 

Note : This explanation of mine is limited to my understanding of the writer's interpretation AND limited by my personal experiences and how I relate the theory with my personal experiences. Many times in my life, I have allowed myself to be carried away by activities caused by some insignificant shabdhas (words). The results???? I have burned couple of bridges - both internal & external ones. Thankfully, not all the bridges were of the same built. Some did withstand the fire, while some could be repaired. 

Be attentive to the variations caused my the Shabdhas. Be mindful about what is important to you. 

Plans Impacted

Kiddo {walking out after passing the verdict}: Purple
Kiddo {breaking the long silence}: Your plans get messed up when you include me, isn't it?

If she hadn't worn that encouraging smile on her face, I wouldn't have know how to take this statement.

Connections

Scene 2:
He : It is my birthday too... No wonder we get along easily.

Scene 1:
Another He : See... Thats another thing that connects us. We both are into piercing.

I just couldn't help thinking.. Do you really need to find the whys behind these connections?

And then He makes me wonder more on these lines...

"The moment you feel the connection from your side, just know that you are already connected."

Silent Conversations

I meet him as I was stepping out of a wonderful talk. We occupy our place in the nearest park bench. After a few mins, I still hadn't come down to the real world. That was when I sensed him make a move to start a conversation... And I go...

"Ssssh! Lets just sit & have a silent conversation"

He gave a wonderful smile, nodded his head in agreement and we just sat there for..... I do not know for how long... We just sat there...

That was when the second he walks towards us. And I go again... This time... in a hushed tone...

"Ssssssh.... We are having a silent conversation...."

I got an amazing mile long smile & he stepped away...

Change in Worth

She1 {irritated at the herculean task}: He is not worth it!
She2 {equally irritated}: Exactly what I thought!

And the Shes go back to their life.

As an observer what interested me was.... The He had been a strong support to either of them during their worst. Even today, if there is a genuine need... I am sure he would still be there for them.

Okay...  Okay... I will leave some room for the obvious :-P

Chances as high that he would still be there for them.....

Yet... Today... When they speak of those light-hearted interactions... Neither wants to do it with Him. What changed?

Actually... More than the logical reasoning behind these whats & whys... When I look at it... It is interesting to see the varied parameters & their new forms. And to add to it... They are still changing... Lets see how they change further...

Errr... But... Soooo not worth the time... Even for a social scientist!!! :-D

Disconnected Conversations

He : Your heart beats fiercely. Mine just ticks.
She : I have not gifts to offer such a wonder.
If you are hungry, I'll feed you.
If I am mad, you will tell me.
He : You are not mad.
She : You don't know all of me yet.

Initiating an Invitation

Me {mixed emotions}: You were right. The person who decides to be with me in any form will have to go through this sort of entertainment every single day!! All that matters now is, finding a brave heart who can endure all this!
He : You never know... Some people may like it.
Me : Exactly... Some... May... See the chance there????
He : There will be people who would like your ability to translate an ordinary day/life in to something extra ordinary.
Me {Now on floor laughing}: No wonder you are into what you are.
Me {after a short pause}: Anyways... Now I have people across the globe convincing another bunch to record & post video clippings.
He : This is what I call... Initiating an invitation to engage in a meaningful artifact
Me {Pling!}: Whaaaat???

Am I allowed to include 45 sit ups to this invitation????????? :D 

PS. 

The existence of this image says that I am not the only one... Thihahahahahahahahahaha......

Double Standards?

He is on his vacation. He has been on many such short vacations. But this time I observed something....
We tend to exchange ideas more while he is on vacation!!!

On a regular day... Both of us are busy. When I am free, he is busy. When he is free, I am either busy or irritated. Yea... you know which is more probable... ;-) 

Whatever said and done, we talk more while he is on vacation...

Now that brings me to another question.... 

Then why am I so hard on Him? Why I am showing double standards? Why am I making this insignificant part of His life so difficult? Why do I raise the height of my fort every time He tries to talk to me? If I am happy to interact with one person while he is in a completely relaxed mode.... Why am I not extending it to everyone? Why am I having different standards for different people? 

Sigh! I guess I know the answer... The one that transcends the superficial ones......... 

PS. 

Apparently it is not talking when we interact using portals like WhatsApp. Thank you dear! You are the second person who shares my opinion.... Mmmmuah!

Dreams.....

His people take pride while saying...

"No one can have a dream with him in it. It is He who chooses whose dream he would feature in!"

Okkay... Fine... Agreed... In that case.... why are you recurring in mine????

I personally know a person who adores you. I am sure I would have dreamt more about you than him!

I mean... You would have featured more in my dreams than his O:-)

Build a Homeland

Bumped into a scrap of paper containing these lines.... :-)

Gals.... Hang in there!!

"They took away a door
to give you the wind
They opened a wound
to give you a morning
They razed your house,
so that you would build a homeland"
