Then and Now!!

It is snowing out here and I have decided to work from home today. As I sit there in front of my laptop which is strategically located nearer to my balcony to get a glimpse of the outside world while working. But instead of concentrating on work, my mind is wavering and I am kind of reminiscing the winters in India especially the one's that I enjoyed when I was in school. Every winter morning, I had one wish and that is, my school should remain closed so that I get some extra hours of sleep under the blanket. Alas,It never happened and I used to hesitantly go to school. I used to love the winters in India, specially the green fields. Somehow, looking at those greenery used to make me feel happy from within. Oh! I miss them so much. What an irony!! When I was a kid, I used to think of growing up soon to fulfill my dreams and be something in this world. Now as an adult, I am thinking of my child hood days and longing for them. I specially remember my winter and summer vacations when I used to get loads of books as gifts from my parents and I used to sit at one place and not get up till I am done with my reading. Here today,laptop is my best friend and I have lost the touch of reading books. I am kind of missing those carefree, innocent and above all tension free days.

At the same time, I feel lucky that I have such a supportive family who are with me in my thick and thin. Even today I look up to them for support and advise. In fact, I think all of those people who have strong family support are the luckiest people in the world.
But sometimes my mind veers towards those kids who are not so fortunate as us to have family support. Guess, it is a payback time for us to help them in whatever means we can.

Love....What is it???

Love....the name which invokes lots of feelings, lots of thoughts. Love, I believe the only word which has made poets out of nobody. It makes me wonder what exactly is Love that invokes myriads of feelings.
People say that love is like a strong gush of wind which sweeps you off your feet. When you are in love, everything around you looks rosy and beautiful. You feel happy from inside and that radiates in your face. One think of spending each and every moment of one's life with your beloved, Whereas the same love can give you pain-the pain which takes time to heal,the pain which makes your heart go weak. It makes me wonder why love invokes so much strong emotions-on one side you feel extreme happiness when everything is going well and on the other, the most negative feelings when things are not honky dory.How can the person who was everything for you becomes the reason for your heartache and pain? It's a real mystery. According to me,it's not the person but the circumstances which makes you behave the way you behave. I had a talk with somebody a few months back and she told me something interesting.There is no concept of one soul mate. In your life time, you might be connected with more than one soul mate and there can be around 26 soul mates in your life time. It seems at that time, she felt connected with 5 different people as each of them had some qualities which attracted her to them.Wow...that's amazing and quite a fact.

All said and done, Love is one thing which one should experience in one's lifetime.
