THE PERFECT OTHER

-

Does love make us weak or does it make us strong? Why is it fatal to fall in love and why is it fall? Why not rise in love? May be, as the emotion is inexplicable and complicated. Love explores a dichotomy of sorts, you win and lose at the same time, and it is like tasting success and failure simultaneously. May be as there are no absolutes in love, there are no rules of the game and the stakes are insurmountably high.

Uncertainty is the name of the game, you might meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, but when you do, you will know why it never worked out with anyone else. Or you might know the perfect other from the moment you see the person, sometimes just a fleeting glance is enough to know what takes a lifetime to find out..They say, you never see love come, you only see it go, but I disagree, of course you see it come, you feel the rush, you experience the ecstasy, you discover the exhilaration, you get the spring in your step, you smile foolishly all the time and  just being with someone makes the world a more beautiful place … When you find that special someone, nothing else seems to matter, everything seems to fade away, you want to share the best and the worst, your hopes, your dreams, your darkest deepest desires, your fears, your trials and tribulations. You want to smell a flower, you want to stare at the sunset, you want to run bare feet on the sand, nature’s colors seem brighter and more brilliant,, this magical feeling is love

Yet giving someone all your love does not come with the assurance or guarantee that they will love you back , and even if they do , the guarantee that it will last forever............. But, it will be beautiful while it lasts, it will feel like living your dream. It is your chance to be the miracle and experience magic… but then when you open your eyes, you will have to wake up and face the world...with or without that love. Yet, to love moderately or pragmatically will be defiance, a sacrilege of an emotion which is defined by its intensity, its degree of extremity.

According to Greek mythology humans were originally created with 4 arms 4 legs and a head with 2 faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate parts, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other. Even in our times, of instant coffee and instant love, there are people like me, who believe in a kindred soul, the perfect other, and the better half which completes you. I truly believe there is a perfect other, finding him or her is may not be easy ….but there is someone for everyone, someone who make life worth it, someone who makes you complete. Someone who can completely turn your world around. So, don’t give up, you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, does not mean you stop trying, you will fumble, you will falter , you might even fall but then you will rise again like the phoenix from ashes and then you will spread your wings and fly…So ,just hold on , just hold on long enough and so don’t let dreams die, …you may not succeed at once , but you have to try.

Istanbul; The magical city where the east meets the west .

meets the west. “The World is a book and those who do not travel read only a page” St. Augustine. Mark Twain said “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than the things you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sail. Explore!” … The word travel probably originates from French word “ t ravail”. The literal meaning of the  word “travel” is to go from one place to another, to undertake a journey.   And whether,  one travels out of choice or compulsion; for business or pleasure, whether one travels in business class or aboard a luxury cruise or  goes backpacking on a shoestring budget, there is this indescribable joy in exploring the unknown and unraveling the unseen.    Whatever is the reason for travel, one indisputable fact remains that travel is a great teacher. Travel teaches precious and priceless lessons of life. In fact,...

WANDERLUST

 WANDERLUST “Once you have travelled, the voyage never ends but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers, the mind can never breakout from the journey”- Pat Conroy. Memories are empowering, sometimes, years after something has happened in your life, you remember it vividly as if the event occurred recently. Incidentally, this happens to only the most delightful memories as they are priceless to the heart and mind. Memories capture the human mind space and can be revisited as per convenience and demand.  In the literal sense, “m emories”  comprise the human ability to encode, store, retain and subsequently recall information and earlier experiences. In fact, the memory of a precious experience becomes more important than the experience itself. Experience  essentially comprises of the knowledge of an event through involvement.   The history of the word  “ experience” is intricately linked with experiment, it is about engaging and...
