Well..relaunch is certainly in! :) And while i prepare for exams, I thot i just might add an old write up... A lil crude, but for the simple fact that it shows how much water has passed under the bridge i thot i wud let it be. Tht's why i think everyone should write a journal. It freezes time onto pages which would have otherwise passed in the fossils of history which are seldom, if ever, uncovered. Though sometime i'd like to write about 'the impossible dream' ( title of my blog before I changed it to the current one) and ...sure enuf, love. One post- not enough :) ....................
All my friends would talk so much about it; it seemed me to that I was the only soul left on earth who hadn’t seen the movie “Sleepless in Seattle”! So when MGM was showing it yesterday I could not conceal my delight. Umm…well the movie was okay, more than the movie I liked a few lines…especially one line… “Love is magic”…and just been thinking about it…sure love is magic... And the best part is, it’s the rarest kind of magic, yet all of us know about it. Its surreal yet obvious, its there for all to see yet uncaptured. So much is written about it and yet so much remains. That’s perhaps because God made sure when He created it that we learn more of it through self discovery….everyone has to find out first hand what the mystic is all about. You might have read how love captures one’s sleep but to yourself wake up in the morning, all refreshed, even though you did not batter a wink at night is beyond any book. And it’s magical. Looking for lonesome corners where no one can see you smile, holding the phone in your hand all day lest it rings one extra time when s/he calls, reading cards which seem to be written just for you, watching movies and feel like its telling your story, passing the church and saying a small prayer for your sweetheart….all this and so much more are the little amateur tricks the world of magic has to offer. And as you become better at it, you find yourself more and more enthralled into it. She looks at Gary Cooper and the actor is not as handsome as him and he believes she would put Aishwarya Rai to shame! Let the world go crazy after these stars, you would be the magician hiding your precious from the eyes of all and sundry. The others don’t see the Gary Cooper and the Aishwarya Rai in your love because magic makes sure that it’s meant only and only for your eyes. You find yourself doing the impossible things, for him...for her. Suddenly his favorite shirt is not as great because she doesn’t like it and even though she doesn’t like that shirt once he wears it sure looks great. When he is maddd at her and yet cannot get angry because he loves her too much; and when she is hurt and yet hates it when he has to apologize for anything…u sure have progressed a lot in the magical world of love. And you keep learning….. give without expecting anything in return, use the magic of the power love gives you to stand up for it and defend it with all your vigor against the cruel forces of the world, pampering your love as if you ruled the universe, let the dignity of the relationship supercede the dignity of self, supporting your love when you know that s/he might crumble any moment, muttering love you in your dreams after a big fight…You just keep learning…and the time comes when the phone calls do not matter for your love lives within you; the cards seem too artificial, too open for the whole world; your own story seems better than any movie; you sleep soundly because your dreams are full of your love; you surrender yourself completely without a second thought… And the real magic happens when after all this to the world you still appear as two, but in reality one is just the extension of the other; Sharing a sempiternal bond which transcends people and worlds, a love immortal and beyond imagination. A love full of timeless magic.

I must say I am eagarly waiting for the promised "Impossible Dream" entry. I am sure all your dreams will come true, even the impossible ones.
Love sure is MAGIC (you forget the capitals!), happens to the lucky few. Do you write from experience?
