Why should it make a difference when somethings happen for no reason and has had no meaning whatsoever?
Why should it matter when good times were not completely good enough?
How would it be possible to compromise on somethings that are a part of you? Why should it even be considered genuine when even the mere communication channel was not clear? Is it not logically the best thing that the mere reason for your interest dies down with time and you are better off without it?
Masinagudi has its memories and now it jibes me without me in it. I can appease myself saying the last time was just the place and not the people completely anyway. But that reality and getting over feel is a little bitter medicine one has to swallow.
Only naive persons would not learn from experiences. In a way, Kate realizes the naivete is so similar to the naivete whom she desisted and kept in the distance of an acquaintance.
Leopold better be the almost opposite but a very understanding character! Get him to Kate sooooon!

Life!
Life by Paul Laurence Dunbar
A crust of bread and a corner to sleep in,
A minute to smile and an hour to weep in,
A pint of joy to a peck of trouble,
And never a laugh but the moans come double;
And that is life!
A crust and a corner that love makes precious,
With a smile to warm and the tears to refresh us;
And joy seems sweeter when cares come after,
And a moan is the finest of foils for laughter;
And that is life!
**********************************************************
Just what I was wondering how to write....... I want to be able to write such deep words.....
A crust of bread and a corner to sleep in,
A minute to smile and an hour to weep in,
A pint of joy to a peck of trouble,
And never a laugh but the moans come double;
And that is life!
A crust and a corner that love makes precious,
With a smile to warm and the tears to refresh us;
And joy seems sweeter when cares come after,
And a moan is the finest of foils for laughter;
And that is life!

Longing
Longing
by Sara Teasdale
I am not sorry for my soul
That it must go unsatisfied,
For it can live a thousand times,
Eternity is deep and wide.
I am not sorry for my soul,
But oh, my body that must go
Back to a little drift of dust
Without the joy it longed to know.

Without the joy it longed to know.
I Am Not Yours
Found a beautiful poem by Sara Teasdale. This one reflects what I meant in my last blog. :)
I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.
You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.
Oh plunge me deep in love, put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.
***************************************************
Beauty in such words to describe what is on the mind.... Sigh.

Oh plunge me deep in love, put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.

How Do I Love Thee.....
How Do I Love Thee
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
*****************************************************************
Waiting for the time in my life when I am overcome with such passion for my love in my life....... My Leopold does exist, you know... just playing hide and seek.... :)

28th bday approaching....
Hmmm, one thing I missed out in my previous post is that I had one long time wish fulfilled just on the day before the eve of 2010.
I donated blood to a lady whom I had never met and was to undergo a hysterectomy. She was a relative of a colleague of a friend of mine. He was going to donate blood and told me the same. I went along since that would be my best chance to do something with someone familiar around. I always wanted to donate blood and was quite skeptical about the thing - my typical initial hesitant nature for anything though I would be dying to try the thing. The doctor who checked my blood level was so eager to get me to donate blood because she found me healthy. It felt funny and good. She realized it was my first time and made me feel comfortable. She almost repeated twice - "Your blood level is very good." Quite in the tone of a compliment. :) Touch wood!
And now this saturday my 28th bday approaches. Am wondering how it is gonna be. There are the usual positive vibes, hope and looking-forward-to-things. Waiting... :)

2010 - 4 days old!
2010 - People address it as "twenty-ten". I like the sound of it - has a nice ring to it. It is 4 days old and here I am blogging after a long long while.
Just got back to work after a week long xmas hols. Some companies call it "forced holiday". And some call it shutdown hols like ours. I like the latter anytime. :) Vacation went quite useful and pinched the pocket too.
Bought a microwave to kindle the cooking bug in me. Culinary attempts: Shahi tukda, pasta in tomato sauce, veg biryani and brownies. Of all these, veg biryani (Special dish on New Year by me) came out well, thanks to mom's tips and microwave. :) Sis and mom gorged it and did give me a lot of credit. That is when I realized what it feels like to feed people and make them happy and feel good and proud in return. Overall, cooking is quite interesting and tricky at the same time. He he. Told this to Jitu and goodness, he was rotflol for sure if I am right. I agree with him on the 'aagasa' quote. Lets see how long I oghithini. So far so good since its been fun.
Bought gold but I am still seeing stars. I consider it a good investment any day though some parts of our society still requires to be satisfied with its show.
Bought a double-cot for my parents from Lifestyle. A nice Tuscan wood queen size cot with great finish for a reasonable price. My parents, who are in dire need of it coz of old age and comfort, were postponing this purchase since God knows when. And I decided to take up the responsibility and grow up for them. Woohoo! I exclaim coz I realized that setting up a family is no joke and requires a lot of thought, care, time and finance.
Watched "3 idiots" twice and loved it more the second time. A nice touching movie with its own share of mischief and one-liners and most of all, the theme. Watched Avatar in 3D - Quite enjoyable but painfully long. Liked Paa more since it was very endearing. Loved the Bacchans and Ms. Balan. Made me relax during the most hectic work week I've known in the current work place. :)
Apart from this, I've been busy contemplating that I need to settle down at the earliest and am in search of my soulmate. :) Sounds so convincingly desperate but its not that bad. I just feel it would be the right time. And poor parents of mine too. :)
Hoping twenty-ten works out well for me and helps me grow up in every sphere of life. Praying for more patience, sensibility and positive strength. I also pray that the world around becomes a safer and happier place to live in. For me, 2009 was definitely quite good but it went really really really fast. Hmmmm.... :)
