I am in LOVE :):):)


Yeah, you saw it right. I am in love. True relationships dont have an origin or an end. They just go on forever, like a river. I realised that just sometime back. This is definitely not love at first sight, based on looks or intuitions. In fact, he was really difficult to comprehend at the beginning of this all. Not been able to eat or sleep properly, which are of course the normal symptoms of love. Cant keep my eyes off him. I dream of him day and night, anytime, anywhere. Earlier, I used to get scared of darkness, the unending mass of black threatening to engulf me forever,but not anymore. I hated my own shadow because it always revealed my darker side,notwithstanding the time of the day, made me feel useless, insecure and crappy. On the contrary, now, after his enlightenment, I have learnt to live and love my shadow. After all, its my own reflection, it cant be that bad. I can sense myself getting more optimistic, seeing the positive effects of every action. I have started appreciating nature, wildlife and even small mosquitoes and insects. I don't use a pesticide anymore.
Even though he is physically absent, I can sense him always, close by, giving me encouragement with his mind blowing attitude, totally electrifying me with his charisma. Me, already an insomniac, sit up at nights, visualizing him, his presence of mind in a tight spot, his meticulous attitude out of a do or die situation, his dexterity at doing things nothing less than redefining perfection, proving him to be a competitor with himself. whew, am left bewildered, and look up at him with great pride. I never once have any lecherous or amorous thoughts or hormonal feelings, to be very frank, and hold him in a state of great insurmountable respect and will cherish him as a prized possession forever. He played a major role in moulding me to be an avid blogger, encouraging even my silliest of indites, and hence here I am today, able to write something.

I would really love to introduce him to you all. The one and only Piscine Patel, the guy who was sixteen, lost his whole family in a shipwreck in the great Pacific Ocean , had a Bengal tiger for company in a life boat, with limited supplies of food and water, who survived as a castaway for 227 days. The first hundred pages crawled along slowly, and people who don't like tantamount talk, start directly from chapter 38. It is a pity I didn't read this wonderful book LIFE OF PI , the Canadian author Yann Martel earlier. Was cursing my ignorance, for wasting away twenty years. This book is sure to leave an ever lasting imprint in your subconscious mind. It is a must read for all :)
Err... by the way, whom did you think I was talking about?:P
