me! ahahaa!!

Thats how I was looking today this morning when I saw myself in the mirror. For a moment I thought that I was in Zoo raring at a gorilla with eyes wide open!

Beware!
This animal is more grievous than you expect!

Love's vocabulary

I have been thinking a lot about LOVE. What is love? well, all I did is, I googled the diction of love and its origin.

Did you know the Greeks have four different words for Love?
Eros is the passionate love, with sensual desire and longing; where erotic comes from.
Philia is friendship, a dispassionate virtuous love.
Storge is natural affection, like that felt by parents for children, or little ones for Nanny.
Agape – THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE – is an all-inclusive unconditional love. This is the one widely used in religious teachings. To have agape is to see all people doing the best they can with the light they’ve got. Agape is not spoken about. It’s a space you rest in; a state of being that is pure uninhibited love. Someone in this state is not looking for a return on the investment. In fact they don’t see it as an investment at all. This is remarkable compassion.

hmmm... Would it be correct to assume the Greeks' four meanings of love: eros, philia, storge and agape, would be equivalent to our own English vocabulary of lust, like, affection and love, respectively?

Except I'm guessing a parent's love for his or her child can be described as something that is slightly more than mere affection, no? I'd hope? Perhaps unconditional love?

Whatever. There are so many words. Love, like, adulation, infatuation, adoration, lust, passion, affection, admiration…it doesn't end.

I wonder how possible it is to be completely incapable of all-consuming, all-encompassing, all-guards-down love. Can you be human and still claim that?

I can't stop with the posting today....

It's like I have blogging diarrhea.

See, I have nothing of substance to say, but still, insane nonsense keeps coming out of me. Can't make it stop.

Pardon the analogy, but it appealed to me!

adaptive trait

I find it tragic that we survive our own dreams, while they die in the process.

reason....

Do not weep over that which you have lost…
but celebrate that which you had…
for it is more natural to find again what you have lost than gain what you have never had.
be it truth, love or freedom...

guide...

when all lights go out and reason betrays the journey it is better to follow the heart… for it never seeks but the light.

I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.
~Kahlil Gibran

Na tha kuchh toh khuda tha, kuchh na hota toh khuda hota
duboya mujhko hone ne na hota main toh kya hota?

Hua jab gham se yun behis toh gham kya sar ke katane ka

You missed me, didn't you?

Seemingly, some people miss me when I disappear and decide I don't feel like blogging anymore. Which baffles me. I rarely have anything productive to say. This just goes to show that you're all as bored as I am and are in need of some online entertainment. Oh well, I'm always ready to ramble, talk to myself, and run circles around the most mundane of subjects.

So what's been happening? Let's recap:

a) Am done with my theory papers. Final practicals are due 2 weeks. Uh! long time to go from now.

b)I went out every night for 3 nights in a row. EVERY NIGHT. I partied up such a storm (you gotta learn my sarcasm to understand that, LOL), people would be fooled into believing I actually had a booming social life. I am now recovering by watching around four movies a day!! Yesterday, I watched FOUR movies in a row..haha!! curse my patience ! lol. Okay, so you must be wondering what all movies I watched..krazzy 4, Tashan, Parzania, National Treasure 2! buwahahaaa

c) My mom's birthday came and went. Oh! it was yesterday and she loved her present. I gifted her a cell phone from my saved piggie bank :)

d) I sometimes feel keyed up to things happening in my life, at times I feel so happy, so happy that I can't really define down, the other times I feel as if nothing is going to be right. All these mixed emotions later put me to blank state.

e) My father has always said to me, all my life, that the secret to happiness, the secret to a fulfilling life, to a good life, is contentment. To be content with what you have. To be satisfied. Ambition is admirable, of course. Dreaming is a must, for sure. But be content with your lot in life as well, and be thankful. I am thankful, I AM I AM. But I can't seem to reach that sense of contentment. I'm always yearning for more, I always want SO MUCH MORE. Will that wanting ever be truly fulfilled? Truly put to rest?
