Love Story

-
I've read a few books so far....
Some books many times, and many books just about once....
But the one book I can read as many times I lay hands on it is Love Story, by Eric Segal.

 So as I read the book again (once more !!!), here's what I like the most, besides the entire book that is...
"When our two souls stand up erect and strong, face to face, silent, 
drawing nigh and nigher 'til the lengthening wings break into fire at either curved point; 
What bitter wrong can the Earth do to us that we should not long be here contented?
Think. 
In mounting higher, the angels would press on us, 
and aspire to drop some golden orb of perfect song into our deep dear silence. 
Let us stay rather on Earth, Beloved, 
where the unfit contrarious moods of men recoil away 
and isolate pure spirits and permit a place to stand and love 
in for a day with darkness and death hour rounding it."

    I read it once, and was kind of saddened.

      You mean the book or the lines ?

      Love the book...probably the best by Eric Segal... though it does leave you with a sad feeling...

What 'I' want to do

After a long long time, I'll be doing something I've really wanted to do...  Did I have to make some alternate settlements... maybe... Will it live up to the hype of it all... can't say... Was it worth a try.. only time will tell... But there is something very clear in my mind... I am glad I'm trying it out.. Because clearly, this is something I've been wanting to do for a long time now...

Charades we play

The whole world seems to be preparing for the G20 summit. From US to China, they are all harping about what Modi is planning to do, or atleast that's what our media wants us to believe.. Anyway, the best by product of hosting the G20 is the sprucing up of the city that is being done. Suddenly the MCD cleaners are sweeping all the visible scraps of plastic on the road (something they should've always done but never did), all dividers and flyovers are being painted, all signages are up and erect, all street lights are functioning... the list is endless... and it is amazing how perfect we wish to be when we have visitors, yet how shabby the original condition still is..  But the biggest realization is how nice and functional every civic amenity would be, if they all did their job properly !  So the next time you clean up your house when you have visitors, don't feel bad... that's what even countries do :) :D

An Apology

A lot of us believe that we should apologize for the wrong we've done...True.. But I've observed that a Sorry seems to be an easy shortcut... Uttering the one simple word seems to wash away the wrong-doing... We might not even pay as much attention, when we just utter the sorry...  And obviously now, thou shall be forgiven !!!
