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

Apart Yet Together

I never knew I'd meet you, And that you'd look beyond my scars, Though we aren't meant to be, Time with you my happiest hours. Its been ages since I've felt this way, You touched corners I never knew, We are in two different worlds, Yet I am glad my world is you. Happy that I met you, We did meet for a reason, You are my earth I am your sky, Our paradise, our horizon. You've given me million reasons, To laugh, blush and smile, I've never felt this happy, You've made my life worthwhile. I could go on writing, Oh! So many things to say, You're etched in my soul, I'm glad we met this way. Its not easy to be us, You are wind and I am fire, But the feelings we have inside, Will cater for every desire. No matter where life takes us, Roads keeping us apart, Though separated by distance, Always connected at heart. Love can fade, hearts can break, But we are shore and the sea, Tog

Loved By A Writer

You are loved by a writer my love, You will remain alive for eons to come, in the hearts of lovers. You will be a beacon for those who wander in search of a muse, a symbol, that love is eternal. And till there is you, there is love, And a hope that for every ending, there is always a new beginning.
