Is it so easy to say " I Love ..."?

In today's world if we talk about Love between a boy and a girl, our assumptions would confine to "a guy buying expensive gifts for his Girlfriend" or " a candle light dinner for two on a beach" or " a guy playing violin and his girlfriend wearing a white one piece with pink roses carved on it and both of them having lovely time with each other". These things might sound or in fact actually sound romantic and have become symbols for expressing love towards each other. But is it really Love? What is Love? People say love happens after marriage. For a happy married life, two things are important - in which Multinational Company a guy is working or how much he earns and yes his family, their ancestral property, etc. etc. Does all these things culminate love towards each other. Is it or something else than that? Is Love infatuation or crush (which goes one day). Is it so easy for a person to say " I Love You" ? So easy for people to say it to their girlfriend who gets angry because you forgot her birthday or didn't call her for a week or you talked with some other girl in the class. Just say " I love You" and everything gets fine and then something happens and again say " I love You" and everything is fine. Is this the meaning of " I love You". Does these three words hold this much significance in a person's life? It is just said once in a while to only one person in this entire life. It is never said out of any compulsion or never said randomly or again and again. It is not a means for any patch-up  between the two persons. In fact after a person feels this, there are no chances for any break up. Love is " I Love You". That is the most brief and most true definition of Love. Love is nothing but friendship . A friendship which does not require any valentines day or any friendship day to celebrate it. Its not the matter of chatting long hours over phone or spending lots of time with each other or dating each other every week. There are no bachelors parties or any break up or make up parties in Love. Love has no condition. Its not necessary to express it again and again to prove it that you love the other person. It is just said once in a while to Only ONE person without "fixing" any date as to when to say it. Aren't these things sounding Impractical to our  busy lives? If its so, then feelings have no role to play in our life. Feelings are the music of love. A very common saying " Eyes are the best expression for love." How many times in your life could your eyes depict the same feeling ? Just once. Isn't it? Love is not about getting possessive about your boyfriend or girlfriend. It does not even require building of trust also because trust already exists.

The Moments Best Captured

Dictionary definition of moment is a brief, indefinite interval of time. Everybody has moments in his or her life. Some call them good while some call them bad and most of us call them mixed. A moment is good when we remember it throughout our lifetime and we want to go back in it each and every time we remember it. It might be old school days or college days or the innocent days of childhood where there was wit, humour and fun or that moment when we achieved something like winning some competition or cracking some entrance test. Sometimes the fragrance of a place or the music of some song makes us travel back into time, the time when the grandfather used to lift us on his shoulders. We want to travel back in that moment because there are no more shoulders to lift us. That moment wont ever come back again in our life. A mother capturing the essence of each and every moment she spent with her child, those moments when she hugged him/her, the day she held that child in her hands for the first time or the day that child first time called her "Mom or Maa". A shattered dream is like the mother who lost her child. We always want to go back in that moment in which we lived for our dream or doing the best possible ways to make it happen. That dream which was the part of our life, that dream which gave us the reason to live, that dream which provided us the direction to move ahead in life, that dream with which we have attached emotional value someday goes away. telling us that I (dream) is beyond your reach. The moments which were best captured living with that dream become like those moments when an orphan child misses his/her parents. He knows that his parents wont ever come back into his life but still he wants to go back in those moments best captured by him when he was with them. "That" day when a mother lost his child or "that" day when the child lost his parents or "that" day when the dream gets shattered become the sad moments in our lives. The child or parents or dream becomes faded and there is no point living for them again in life because LIFE is only granted once by God. We might  move on with life but the time spent by mother with her child who is no more in this world now, or by an orphan with his parents or that time which we spent realizing our dream becomes The Moments Best Captured. 

Some see dreams. Some live in them

Dictionary definition of dream is a series of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations occurring involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. Not only during night we dream but in day also, in afternoon also rather each and every minute we live in our dreams. A remarkable difference between dreams and nightmares is that dreams make you awake throughout the night while a nightmare makes you sleep throughout the day. Nightmares are set of negative feelings that we experience due to other people's reactions towards us (negative form) that feelings first percolate towards our heart and then towards the brain and consequently turn into nightmares. Dream is not getting into some prestigious institute of the country or living a lavish life or earning in millions of dollars. Dream is I and not YOU. It is me who spend each and every minute living in it, enjoying each and every part of it and doing everything what i ought to do and what i mean to do to realize each and every bit of it. It is a unique feeling which differentiate I from OTHERS. Each and every minute I spend or spent is what i see in my dreams or what i experience in it. Some see dreams because they see it from their brain but not from their eyes. They see it from their brain which works according to what WE want it to function and WE is summation of I and YOU. Living in it connects it to our heart and heart is I minus YOU. It  is me who wants it and not formed by YOU or WE. It is I who is the bona fide holder of it and I cannot turn into it into a nightmare. I is always there for IT(dream) and I is much more powerful than a Nightmare and makes our way to live in our dreams. If you have got I in yourself, then YOU and WE gets automatically lifted out of our mind and this I connects IT(dream) to your heart and then you start living in it and makes your life worth living for what it is meant for, for that thing for which you are living and continue to live, for that thing for which God has sent you on this earth to realize it. The self-identity within you is realized when all your inherent potential is realized towards I which connects to IT and this IT makes you, differentiates you, gives you identity and you have self worth for which you are born in this world. This I and IT relationship is much more than living in a house which is built on Bill Gate's assumptions  and calling it "Home Sweet Home". A great person who believed in I rightly said," Your time is limited, so don't waste it waste it by living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Dont let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

The Paradox

Paradox in English Dictionary means two situations contradicting each other. In the recent group discussion on ‘India Shining’ many of the participants spoke about the positive side of India. India no doubt has become an international hub and a major outsource of services. Today Indians have made to the list of Forbes list of billionaires. India has managed to achieve the 8.5% growth rate when the most advanced countries of the world (United States, Europe) are sliding down. Employment levels are high. We have also organised F1 Grand Prix which was the highly successful event in India. Year 2011 saw many changes in the India..The uprising of Anna Hazare's non-violence movement and people coming out to support him shows the people's support to combat corruption in India. And now coming up skyscrapers in Delhi and not to forget about the FDI in retail. So many things to show in our platter and many more things to be added up. As a writer I am not ironical in my approach when I talk about the Paradox in our country. India's growth rate is applausable but what about the monster of Inflation which is prevailing in our country. High level of growth rate has come with high level of inflation, high poverty, unemployment, corruption. These things are also  in our platter along with other good things( mentioned above). The winter session of the government has extended and still the strong Lokpal bill has not yet been passed. Though India organised a highly successful F1 event and all the work was carried out with clockwork precision but why there was so much of money wastage while conducting CWG event. So can it be concluded that multiplicity of authorities of Government was responsible for CWG scam? This completely shows that the centre doesnot exercise its powers judiciously. According to Anna Hazare and his team, the existing Lokpal bill has certain flaws and need amendment. I was completely exasperated when I heard Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha proceedings. Nothing came to a conclusion and the result of Lokpal Bill still hangs. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee clearly stated that there shouldn't be any lokyuktas in the states and 'friendly' parties of the government such as Bahujan Samaj Party(BSP) and Samajwadi Party(SP) also supported Mrs. Banerjee for dropping the lokyuktas from the states. Not to forget about the agitation of Anna in Delhi and many opposition parties supported him and opposed the congress and now statements such as 'The bill is a shit' coming up from same opposition parties who earlier supported Anna. I guess(certainly sure) this is the sole reason why Lokpal bill has not been passed since 40 years.
