MYSTIC COMPANION.....

Poetic in nature, looks, that can take anyone’s breath away, calmness is his everlasting virtue, brightness that cools the soul, unique in his own way.
I had never experienced this before though I knew him for all my life. Close, but yet so distant, transparent but yet so mysterious, mystic personality and beauty that locked my vision, mind, heart, and soul.
He was there all the while and will always be there, till my last breath. I would wither away, but he will always exist.
The experience was out of the world and romantic. It was like no one exists between us. It was just him and me. Just the two of us and nothing else mattered.

I was heading back home on the road. He was traveling too to his destination. Maybe he was there all the while, which I failed to notice. It was almost evening; the dusk had made way for the stars to shine brightly. The cool breeze was soothing my face. The sound of the light breeze was music to my ears.
I was almost lost in thought and worn out, as the journey, back home was getting longer, and distant. I kept gazing out in the open.
It was then that I noticed, unlike me, there was someone else who was all the way with me. Keeping the same pace.
Finally, the moment came and we looked at each other. That moment was magical. The starry sky, the cool breeze, the darkness, and US!! I was bewitched by his presence and appearance. I could not take my eyes off him. It looked as if at that moment he existed only for me. It felt as if, his presence was only for me to feel. He was there only for my eyes.
Our eyes locked. We were lost in each other. We did not want to loose each other. I hoped the time never ticked away. I wanted things to come to a standstill.
I was so lost in him, that I forgot everything around me. The breeze still kept soothing my soul and I kept travelling with him in time and space. I hoped the journey never ended. I almost wanted the evening and the night that followed continued forever.
I just did not want to depart from him, but there were times when he played hide and seek with me. Kept drifting away from my sight on and off. Nevertheless, the next moment, as if from nowhere, he would reappear; as if he had read my thoughts and my feelings.
In that moment when I looked at him, he would just chuckle away. I would look away from him as if I never wanted to look at him anymore.
As if, sensing my thoughts he would be there for me and look at me in a manner, no one ever looks at me before.
He was my Companion, My Travel Partner, My Crush, My beloved for the entire journey. Something kept drawing me towards him and never wanted him to let go.
Strange as it may seem, even as we just kept looking at one another, I lost him, lost him in the open, in the midst of the deep blue sky, amidst the stars and clouds, the entire universe.
I kept looking for him, all the way, but he was gone. Never to appear like the way he did.
Everything stopped at that. The magic, the time, that enchanting moment as well as the journey.
Maybe, he had to leave to put a smile on some other face, to brighten someone else’s thoughts and mind.

The universe had taken my Companion from me. The only beauty that anyone could envy of. The MOON.

good one.. I liked the way you have narrated it.. Throughtout the article, there were moments I was wondering if it was a puppy, then started hoping for some real romantic story to unwind... a little disappointed to know it was moon in the end, but guess it is better than puppy.. ;-)

A Writeup-From one woman to another

Yet another year and we hit 8th MARCH-INTERNATIONAL WOMAN’S DAY.   This day is observed to celebrate the women achievers in various fields across the globe devoid of economic, cultural background, religion, race, or nationality. Initially, it kicked off in 1909 in US from a labour movement in North America wherein the women workers protested against the working conditions. From then on, it emerged from being from just fighting for working conditions to considering and working for women rights across the globe for various reasons. This day is also known as United Nations day for women rights and International peace. Women and peace on the same day? I have this kind of reaction as I’ve usually heard that women are non peace makers. Wars are fought because of a Woman. Families are fallen apart because of the Woman. The Epic Ramayana and the Mahabharata happened because of a Woman. Let’s have a look at these events known in Hindu Mythology. Had Sita-in Ramayana not bee...

The inner conflict

TO BE OR NOT TO BE- is phrased by Shakespeare in one of his plays-Hamlet. The everyday line for day to day life series is TO DO OR NOT TO DO.   The duality of the mind, the flip-flops of thoughts, the space between the doing and the undoing seems to have captured the souls of every individual. We are usually caught up in-between actions, words, gestures either with oneself or another. Human beings are social animals but are still animals in our own ways.   We love to please all and want to be in good books of all expect one IMPORTANT PERSON- Own self. This is the first step of conflict. A conflict with oneself. The conflict of the outward self with the inward self.   It is a pull and push mechanism. The inner self wants to push the outward self in loving oneself and the outward self is pulling away from listening to it. We resent ourselves from listening to our inner self. We fail to act its way. The reason could be, because we know it does not manipulate or ...

The Awakening Call..

It took in a lot of effort to write this article. Not because it was difficult to write but did not know from where to start. There were so many unanswered questions that were going on in my mind. Dignity, self-respect, confidence, hope and a zeal to live life against all odds is what adds value to mankind and makes life worth living. At some point of time, all these value-adds are at stake. It makes things more difficult when it is hurt and dealt at random with no fault of the person, but is hurt due to certain horrendous acts. One of such is hurt and insulted in the recent days that made headlines which shook the entire nation. This, in turn, started getting diluted politicized on a large scale and on a personal note—became the fight of the sexes  Why do we always wait for such a terrible thing to happen which becomes an awakening call? Makes one realize that the society that we live in is so 2 sided that it can take it and live with it if it goes unnoticed and su...
