The Beginning of the End...

It is impossible to put into words, the feeling of knowing that you can't stop a relationship coming to an end.. The beginning of the end connotes the end of an era, of having to move on from someone you held onto... The shadow of darkness surrounds you in the hope that it would disappear or it never transpired... We refuse to ignore what or who we care about, emotions well up and sorrow seeps in.. You laugh more, to hide the ruefulness in your eyes.. Frequented with wakefulness, gloomy days, alcohol becomes your new spouse .. But remember, all good things eventually come to an end, love and lust do not last too long.. If you know in your heart that you gave it your all, well that should last you a lifetime of sereneity.. What happened on the other end and questioning and pondering over why & what went wrong is 'none of your business'....

Woody Allen said; 'To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer....'

It is our prerogative to look further ahead and seek the wondrous opportunities life has to offer.. You can never predict the future and never change the past, but you can get yourself together and know that we are capable of making the same mistakes, or having yet another relationship which has no future..Does it matter, really?? We do what we could, moving on is simple, it’s what you leave behind that makes it so difficult... Somethings are just not worth your time and effort, it just wasn't meant to be.. So get up, walk again with your head held high, stride away with confident steps, leaving the anguish and pain that seems to falter your steps.. Just walk ... continue to a new beginning with a smile and enter a new era !!

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.~Dr. Seuss

Wonder where the 'romance' is ??

This goes out to all my lovely Single and Not-So-Single Girlfriends...A little something for you to ponder on !!

It was back in the 40's -60's when you would imagine being charmed, read poetry to, serenaded, wined and dined (lets not go dutch all the time), doors held out for you, walking hand-in-hand (not a great fan of hand holding but...) in celebration of your love and affection for one another....Was it only meant for the Black & White era?? Have we shifted from the theory of having a lover, to having an inmate trapped in a loveless relationship ... 

Have we had enough of romance..?? Do you wonder sometimes, how it would feel to be treated like a lady apart from the occassional women's liberation 'emotional blow-up' rising in our gut...Is it that we have tragically bid farewell to generations of sophisticated and poised forms of dating.. Has dating become as monotonous as being monogamous :p !!

Have men gotten used to the idea of taking it down a notch...Is Romance a surrealistic idea now?? Wasn't romance the key to pursuing happiness in a relationship? Is it too much to ask, to be treated elegantly and with a pinch of 'romance' ??? Oscar Wilde said “They spoil every romance by trying to make it last forever”...Well I'm not asking forever or all the time, but every now and then won't hurt your fragile ego, WOULD IT?? 

To all the single and the not-so-single boys, live it up and be a gentleman..You will have fewer vexed relationships and partners .. !!

Life could be so blissful, if we wanted it to be !!

We desire objects/individuals that appeal to us knowing how difficult it is to attain them...it is paradoxical that we lead a life of constant sorrow and suffering as against that of divinity and bliss..we aim to achieve the unachievable, but is there something/someone so impossible to have? Is it the thrill of the chase that we want it so bad? But are we really happy when we possess it/them? 

Do we think that our life would be complete with it/them?  Why do we question ourselves constantly, and tell ourselves; that we deserve better and more than life provides us? Isn't it true that we make OUR OWN DESTINY !! Yes, we do..by our actions...'what we are doing today, will set our trajectories for tomorrow'...

Why do we complicate matters by adding objects to our wishlists, mine's never ending with with atleast 2 added every fortnight!! Leonardo DaVinci said that 'Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication', he wasnt born in the 21st century, I bet the poor guy would have a heart attack looking at the glamour and the day today rant we are accustomed to...

But then again, we thrive with complications and in solving them...can we ever go back to being uncomplicated? Our generation has been a complex one and to decipher our unique behaviour's is a task beyond many psychologists and researchers... Is it that we feel a need to prove to ourselves that we can go beyond our reach... Do we enjoy being complex and living life differently? But are we really doing so?  Maybe - maybe not, but the questions in our tiny heads collide against each each bringing about new dilemmas..

Wouldn't life be blissful, if we wanted it to be?? haha...lots of questions...GO FIGURE !!
