So Long…Farewell…


We are after all visitors in each other’s life for just that brief moment and the time shared is what you make of it. Its time for me to leave for sea and I just thought I’d type this one last post before I leave, this is not me saying "Good-bye", its me saying "See you soon", coz I have never believed in good bye’s.

Leaving someone behind is not the easiest thing to do, I have been doing it for the past 10 years now and I still haven’t got used to the fact that it hurts, leaving family, friends, loved ones. Its just not something we get used to, yes after a while we get so immersed in our work that we forget all the initial pain of letting go, but then again occasionally the memories crop up again and we start missing everyone back home.

I am living my dream in every way, I am working as a marine engineer which was an ambition, so my job is not really work it’s another passion of mine. Working hard, traveling round the world, meeting new people, watching beautiful sunsets, the drawbacks well being away from loved ones then again I love the missing feeling too, but yeah if I would have it my way ill take them along someday :)

The shortage of love in the world is what inspired me to start writing.
You wonderful people who have been reading my heartfelt thoughts from time to time this is a personal thank you for all your wonderful views and encouraging comments. I have come across some beautiful thoughts myself ,in your blog’s. Everyone of you have a unique talent that you can call your own and that is exactly what makes people come back and read more of what you have to say. So keep voicing out your thoughts :)


Life is all about waking up each day, to discover something new,
About meeting old people, but making new conversations,
Walking through old roads, but still feeling nice about it,
Realizing that you have grown a day older, but still feeling young at heart,
Meeting busy schedules, but still finding time for old friends,
Being nostalgic about bygone days, but looking forward to better days,
Hoping that I could stay a day longer, yet managing to let go.

A passion play.


Falling In love...

Or what happens when you fall down that long well of passion over a person and your heart goes boom and your mind leaves town.

Act-1,Scene-1

Lust:- (I think I love you,Who are you anyways?)

Here it is,The big "WoW",the big "Yes,Yes,Yes" you've been waiting for.This is when you find someone and believe they are better,greater,cuter,wiser,more wonderful than anything you've ever known.

"Lust isn't a sin,its a necessity,for with this as our guide,we imagine our bodies moving the way our bodies are meant to move.We can do marathons with our feet,lift pounds with our arms,have stars in our eyes and do a nifty dance routines.And you think....

"I have no need of food,I have no need of sleep,I have no needs other than occasionally talking to other mortals.You are the best thing that's ever happened to me,probably because you haven't happened to me yet.

Act-2,Scene-1

Poetically called Euphoria (or:ohhh yippie,you're mine)

You feel so funny inside.You feel you could do anything and no one would dare laugh at you.

This is love,you will treasure.You will not put it in the old basement next to your old clothes,your old walker or your sweatshirt.And you will not take this love for granted,because this is the biggest sin of all.And you will say.....

"I feel so good,I feel so strong,I feel actually attractive and I could learn to live with that feeling.Let us sing and dance and eat brown mushy foods,low in fat.

Oh joy!Oh rapture!

But what if I am no good at this?

"I am a dingy speck or I am becoming very very afraid.This must be because I am passive into the next part of love called....ANXIETY.

Act-2,Scene-2

Anxiety:- (also known as: uh-oh)

"This is where the doubt begins,where the mind comes back from shopping,yells at the heart,binds and gags it to a nice lounge chair,and allows guilt,failure and remembrance of things past to sit in for a warm glass of red wine,the glow of the candle light and a well used sofa"

This is where you fear what you need most.If its a person you love,you fear of appearing foolish in front of them.I am not demeaning myself,I have relatives to do that.But I leave it for the next act....

Act-2,Scene-3

Revolt:- (the truth...The whole of it and nothing but it)

Love is hard work.And sometimes,hard work can really hurt.

Love is a game.If they didn't tell you before we will tell you now.Love is a game and if you play you either win or get ejected before the game is over.There are no ties.

Maybe you will lose and learn some great meaningful answers from it all.Like,if it looks too good to be true,it is!Its easy to love something when you don't have to work at it.Its harder when it asks something of you,you might be afraid to give.

Act-3

Give it away.....

"The heart is the most resilient muscle.It is also the stupidest.so if this love you've found is good to you,hold it,keep it,shout about it.If it isn't then maybe you should just become very good friends....

The finale-also known as the big whopper doodle,or,the most important part of this whole darn thing...

"So this is love,as demanding and nourishing and difficult it can be,and as strong and wise it makes you become.There is something to be gained from commitment.There are rewards for staying when you rather leave.And there is something to be said from running up that hill when you would rather slide down it.And so you let love come perch upon your shoulder,and you do not turn away. You do the tango.

"Just do it."
