Water, Water - Everywhere

Water is a great source of energy among other essentials. And for sure, one can consider oneself lucky if he or she is has plenty of water resources - across all types of weather. 

It may sound mundane, but the fact that there is always a glass of water to quench your thirst is very important. Water hydrates your thirst. But is that all that it can serve??

There are dams, and on one side is this huge reservoir of water waiting to get across to the other side which is parched or is just about. That is how far and how close it could mean with water. 

So how do we relate to water, we allow it to trickle, have it as a handful or a glass or a bottle or better still get drenched in it. Each one has its importance but yet deep inside the well you feel the pleasure of being surrounded by water while you splash and get into a frenzy with it. Or just enjoy the sheer embrace of water around you, delving into each part of the body soothing your muscles while getting deeper and deeper into the well.

On the other side is the fact of living in hope of water reaching you, if not today, tomorrow - hopeful the breakfast meeting will not happen, hopeful that despite the tributaries - it will reach to its source - not distracted by the spirits. Alas; and unfortunately it still remains as a hope, the parched throats seeking the inevitable smoothness of the water draining into your system.

For a dreamer, the only thing that wakes him up is the thought of being quenched by an insatiable urge of cherishing each drip of the water. Just as; we do not water to get minimised by getting into the tributaries, we would not want the same tributaries to quench your thirst. 

Ultimately the flow matters - just as much as the connect. This is what defines the quality and purity of Water.

Everyday as I open the tap - it gives me immense pleasure that the water is still warm and not frozen by the bad weather.

The Book

An author has the privilege of writing a book.

It comes from a deep understanding of the subject or a pretension to know the subject deeply. It may be wrong in toto or it may be right totally. Here is an attempt to prove either of them.

Being fragile has its advantage, it tends to reflect any advances or it has an immediate response on the basis of what is in the air. But as time passes, even the purest of transparent glass tends to become opaque, opaque with thoughts, with collection of judgments with knowledge of talent or maybe just a banana skin.

That the banana is a multi vitamin has no doubts. But the challenge is in the Apple. It has an advantage of being dissected by half or by four or even by six. It essentially is a factor of what suits you, how comfortably you want to wallop or enjoy the fruit immensely by digesting into it slowly. But biting into an apple versus having each of the six pieces has its own spelt out moments of glory – you cherish each of the pieces rather than each bite of a single apple.

The big part is how do you cherish each of the pieces equally well, because in all our teachings it is said puritanically you can not covet more than one piece.

And while you accept that there are moments to cherish in the pieces, you find that the distance between the pieces is too much to bear. You wonder, whether it is the distance that makes it fonder or is it the sheer joy of nibbling into the piece that makes it better.

Over the years, having grown in an orchard – cared for and protected by the near and dears itself have been life’s biggest treasure. And within all that; in a stroke of lightning – you are encompassed by the thunder, the rain and the quench of the thirst. Getting wet in the rain is as much as a pleasure as getting mucky and as much as exciting as walking by the beach drenched in the rain and in the comfort of warm hands and a multitude of hugs.

It reminds me of the song ….. If you like making love in the rain, if you love pina coladas

Such is life, you just never know where the bend leads to, can be for good or can be for worse – it is not necessarily a yearn but its just a bend that leads to a bed of roses with equal measure of the thorns that adorn a rose plant. But the fragrance and the myriad colours is something to cherish.

Or is cherish just an understatement, and as the bend takes the road you bite into the apple piece nibbling it and dwelling into the juice and the taste of it – ensuring that it stays with you any which way.

But yes, distance matters even as you stay connected for now and forever.

The shine and lustre of swarovski adds to the elegance of the lady. That it has a delicate look and a reflection of the multi splendour charm is only an added grace. 

The effect of it is even more when its graces the neck with love and becomes a hall mark and honour of a fragile relation.

Why Fragile?

In the distance of time, when you nurture a relation, it becomes that much more challenging - the delicacy of the bond gets measured by the words. The unseen emotions just adds to the glory of punishing yourself by getting into a shell and not getting to understand the facial expressions of the other person that is in tandem with the emotions of the months. 

It may happen - that punishments wary - to some it is silence - to some it is  delinking from FB - to some it is to block from whatsapp - to some others - its about blocking the number - to some others it may be plain not responding to the emails and or to the calls. 

Just as there are so many opportunities to connect - similarly there are that many ways to stay disconnected.

The heart remains unseen in all this, all that comes on the fore is the face, the speech and the texts.

Imagine the challenge of the person who is poor at language, who cannot express his emotion by speech or text - how will the emotions get spelled out. While the other person is not seeing the expression - the NO gets magnified - the YES becomes sarcastic - Huge chances of deciphering everything  - As criminally expressed, is possible. 

Hence, they say eyes speak volumes and this can only happen if it meets more often - only then will the speech, the text and the million other ways of communication fails.
