Ten Commandments

-
    

       Yet another Valentine's Day gone by what with the hype on a date-wise fortnightly celebrations..this includes both pre and post V Day week. Couples trying to impress each other with gift, cards and what not...The present day lovers would put Romeo Juliet, Heer Ranjha and other such couples to shame with the antics and tactics adopted for pleasing the partner. Not to forget poets of the Romantic era and of course the new Romantics (if there are any left!!!)

       But then...do we really need to get restricted to a particular day to profess our love??? Love never means materialistic and physical gratifications. Neither does it believe in exchange of gifts and cards for survival..


       Doesn't this mean that we need to show each day of our lives that we truly love our partner??? At times it does become difficult....in fact you get so harassed and drained out that you start questioning the very existence of your "Loved One" in your life. But then, as has always been quoted "Love your Love the most when he or she deserves it the least because that is when they need it the most." Besides, in case of a role reversal would you like the love of your life to walk out on you???

      If you wish to keep the love in your life alive and kicking instead of choosing just one day of the year to express adopt these Ten Commandments:-

   1.   Give 100% of yourself at all times.
  2. Treat your partner as the unique individual he or she truly is.
   3.   Stay connected through your words and action.
 4.   Accept change and support growth in both yourself and your partner.
   5.   Live your love.
   6.   Share the love, fear, work and play.
   7.   Listen to your mate.
   8.   Honour the subtle wisdom of the heart and listen to the powerful insights of the mind.
   9.   Don't be a jerk or a nag.
   10.  Integrate the purity of spirituality, passion and power of emotions.

   My recipe for Lovesutra is....


   Keep loving and living.....

Grateful For A Moment

Sometimes, we end up getting what we badly need in life. It had been a long time since I took a break from work. Thanks to lockdown and proximity to office, I was one of the chosen few who relentlessly went to work. Days went by, months passed and yet, there I was busy meeting deadlines. Maybe, the fact that I was nearing burnout had reached God. Hence, it resulted in the most favourite moment of this week, a statement that I was to stay at home for 14 days. 14 days of bliss, 14 days of peace, 14 days of self development and relaxation.  For some people such a dictact would imply pain and torture. After all, who wants to leave the rat race and squander 14 previous days! Yet, for people like me (Yes, I know I am not alone!) these 14 days are a welcome break, a diversion from monotony.  So beginning today, it would be my endeavour to express my gratitude using prompts. Hence, based on today's prompt, let me describe... My favourite moment this week has been th

Association

They say twas six years of association,  I have lost only my spouse. Do they understand the bond we shared And the feel of loneliness I house? They say without you now being alive, No bond with me they share. Then why is it that time and again They pretend to others they care? They can take all your clothes, your material things, Leaving me without any. What they cant take is the love we shared Or the memories now with me. If they think it disturbs me Or shatters my peace of mind. Pity on them cause I have moved on, Leaving my past behind. My love, my life, my Prince Charming, My soulmate, my man in blue. My heart knows that you know, I'll always be the woman you loved, you knew. Let people say whatever they want, They matter not, for them I no longer care. All I now live is with the confidence That you love me and are always there. Love is what brought us together, What still binds us is only love. The only thing

Reunion

I wish I could turn back the clock and bring the wheels of time to a stop. I wish I could revert back to the date 30th August to be precise. The happening of that day that year is still etched in my mind. What followed later is something my family cannot and it should not forget. The mood had been set and Mother Nature aided us in the process. The morning sky was a peaceful blue, absolutely perfect for the events that would be unfolding in a short while. Weather was pleasant and the people I wanted to participate in the reunion were ready. Finally, a daughter was on her way to meet her father. Yes, it was time for us to heal, something that I had wanted to happen since ages. We both reached the place where Manu, my husband, was waiting for us. We were meeting him after years. Manu was a stickler to time and so were we, especially Anya, our twenty year old daughter. On reaching the entryway, Anya looked at me. I understood that she wanted a private audience with her father. I als
