A Cosmic Valentine

The Valentine's Day is over. People are now back in their lives. The Mid-Semester Examinations are going to start or already underway and here I am sharing one more post on this theme. 

"Piyush, Go get a life", this is what most of you'd say.

Allow me to clarify. I'm not doing it on purpose (especially not this time). In one of my posts earlier on Facebook, I even told everyone loud that I am not going to share any other Valentine post now. But the nature seems to enjoy this February more than any of us. First, the sudden change of weather in Guwahati on 14th and now when the Sun came back today, it came like this:

The Sun Rays split into two from the blades of the exhaust fan,
And kissed the floor by making a heart.

I am not the one to blame.
It's cosmic.
And I don't have any control over this.
This post, however, is so appealing that I had to share.

I woke up at around 8 and by this time I already had missed my PT and while I was going to brush my teeth, I found this. I immediately took this picture from my phone. Apart from this one, I clicked two more and by the time I could get my Digital Camera, it was gone. Just like that, gone.

Now coming to the important part.
No cosmic phenomena goes by just like that. It teaches you. What did it teach me ?
Well,

Lesson 1:

Life is (still) beautiful. Many a times we look at our life and ask ourselves. What have I done to myself? I am not the same person anymore. There were so many things that I wanted to do and now I can't but when you find something like this, it reminds you that Life is still Beautiful.
In fact, it is always beautiful. Somewhere in this world, there is someone who would be encountering a cosmic phenomena like this and if momentarily, the world can be beautiful for them, Why cant't it be for me ? Why can't it be for you ?


Lesson 2:
Events like this, this so called phenomena, the phenomenal things, they occur for a very brief period of time. For example this picture, by the time, I could get my camera, it was gone. 

Does this short duration make this incident less beautiful?
Or, does this make this incident a Sad one ?

No, in fact, a short duration makes this event a rare one and perhaps more beautiful. The same thing goes with our relationships. Sometime, we don't get the person we want in the long run of our life. That shouldn't make us sad for the rest of our lives and that shouldn't affect our plans ahead in life. If the moment you spent with each other was beautiful, no matter how small it were, if it was beautiful, it was worth having. Just like the picture above. It hardly lasted for a minute, may be even less that that.

Did the Sun stop shining for the rest of the day ? 
Did the earth started lamenting because the rays aren't making a heart anymore ?

Let's not turn the beautiful things into an ugly one. Learn to embrace life as it is. Because when you do so, you not only help yourself, you help your other half and the whole breed of people get inspired from you, like the way I got inspired from this picture. There is nothing called Forever and Forever is every moment. 

We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever - Carl Sagan

If something good ended, that means that duration was forever for that event. When you can't be forever, how can you promise being there forever. However, you can be forever, if you continue doing what you love doing. Keep excelling in your work.

Like the Sun is at Shinning.
Like the Earth is at Nourishing.


Keep Shining.

To my Valentine,

I started my blog page on 26th of August 2012. The following post dates back to February 2012. And as I am trying to have all my writings at one place, this month seems suitable to add the following poetry here:

The only way,
I've known this day,
Is to wish Mumma 'Valentine's Day'

 On my own when I woke up early,
Managing my hairs, pillow made them curly;
Rubbing my eyes, putting my glasses,
Without my slippers, running on the grasses.

Just to pluck the brightest rose,
(thinking) To my first Love, this red rose goes.
To the one who have loved me more than anyone,
Right from the day when I was born,
And everyday her love goes stronger,
Even compared to Dad, her love's nine months longer.

But,
today I've plucked two,
One for her and one for you.

She easily knows sadness in my laugh,
Yes in my No.
And then makes my worry look dwarf,
Drive them away with just a blow.




I expect somewhat same love from you,
And I believe you deserve rose number two,

Thanks for being so tender and affectionate,
Thanks for scolding me when I got late.
Thanks for being the first to kiss on my lips.
Thanks for giving me a place in your left ribs.
Thanks for understanding all my excuses.
Thanks for tolerating all my abuses.
Thanks for patting me on my successes,
Thanks for sharing moment on my looses.


This Valentine made me realize how lucky I am,
But still there's love of another person, I want to claim.

Sorry Sweetheart,
But I want to pluck yet another rose,
Love for another girl in my heart has aroused.

You loved me so much and I'm the culprit,
And for my fault I don't even expect you to forgive me.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wish to pluck Rose number three.
For our daughter the third one would be.

Mom and Me


14th February, 2014
A conversation in the middle of night:

Me (tiresome): Hello !

Mom: You don't look happy. Ain't this day supposed to be for young people like you ?
Me: I have a Quiz (Test) today. What else should I sound like?
Mom: Isn't this day supposed to be that way? 

             A Test.
             "A Test to Impress"

Happy Valentines' Day, Mummy. 



Edit:

Later today, Mom gave me a call and told me about the prank Nanaji played on Nani today. My Nanaji  told 
my Nani that he is going to look for a girl for my elder cousin and since no one else in the family knew about it, she rang everyone up eventually and this news was now in the whole family. 

On this I said to my Mom, "Acha hua mere liye nahi khojne gaye kyuki main toh khud khojunga apne liye ( I'm glad that he didn't go searching a girl for me, because I'll do it on my own")
Mom: Koi jarurat nahi hai ye sab ka. Tumhari mummy abhi hai. Main hu na khojne k liye. (Your Mom is still alive and you don't need to do all this> I'll find someone for you.)

Nanaji (taking phone from her) : Jo chiz raah chalte mil jae usse khojne ki kya jarurat. (You don't need to "find" something that is easily available.)

When I See, She

This Picture appeared on my facebook timeline this morning and inspired me to write a small couplet.




When I look at your face, I see,
There is nothing in this world, where I'd rather be.

When I look into your eyes, I see,
In the depths of your heart, where you've kept me.

And when I look at my fingers, I see,
Nothing would have fitted as perfectly as she.

On the Curves

The drape of your cloth hangs in a mysterious way,
It reveals and conceals making me astray.

The way you walk, The way you spark
Is making me audaciously ask,

"Let's leave this city and go to suburbs,
Where I can roll my fingers on those curves."
