Love! And The Burden We Add To It.

Almost every individual on this breathing planet is seeking ‘Love’- in some form or the other. This has been intrinsically the most fundamental construct of a living heart, a conscious heart.

Love~ Some find it; some never do, some keep chasing it, some invalidate it, ridicule it, some merely reject it, some deny it!

And Some, they courageously live with it, all-through- by acknowledging, learning and evolving with each other’s construct. 

~Love

One may deftly say, without getting into the nuance of it; That Love, primarily is one of the most transcending and powerful human emotion!

Transcending and powerful? Some would say how come?!

We will get there, but let’s first discuss this;

Do you really believe there are some hallmarks of a true love, true relationship?!

And if there are, the more relevant question is;

Are hallmarks some sort of magic wand!?

Well, if only, life and relationship were an outcome of a successful laboratory experiment, we would had some optimal formulae, some optimal ingredients for it.

But this is obviously not the case!

Life and a relationship is not an outcome of some controlled experiments. If it were, we would have never cared to acknowledge epitomes of true relationships and true love because then everyone would have been in one already- crafted and tailored for them!

The truth is, yes, hallmarks are there! We have hallmarks for life’s all walks, including a true and organic relationship. But to inculcate and consciously practice these, ‘one’ has to be present in it- with mind, body and senses! And in true relationships, not just one, but it essentially requires two to tango!

There is precisely this one thing that makes a true relationship work- That one thing being One’s sincere intent and act of mindful presence in it and being there for each other, even in the slightest possible manner. Some positive intent, some positive energy has to be there! And may be, may be this is the only hallmark that is there, that actually and effectively works before everything else. ~Think about it!

When two individuals are mindfully present for each other, there are certain organic stimulations ‘responsible’ individuals in love and relationship exude between each other.

Of course, this necessarily doesn’t hold true for every human in a relationship, but in any organic relationship, the individuals are mostly and instinctively guided by their emotions, especially when it is an emotional burst of fear or anger. But, as soon as an individual’s quotient of Love and “understanding” of a true relationship kicks in, that individual transcends into a horizon of compassion and benevolence~ manifesting Love being one of the most transcending and powerful human emotion! (Correct me if i am wrong.)

Usually, i kind of find it selfish and practically boring to define Love to someone in general, even though my limbic system (the part of brain where we process our emotional and behavioral responses) gets activated just with the word ‘Love’, which is of course, is quite on display as you are already witnessing it right now.

But, Why i refrain though? For two very basic reasons.

First, You, me and people in general experience, respond and feel about love differently. (Don’t We?!)

Second, Love tends to change over time. Let’s not discuss the contextual and the quantum of the change. It’s vast and requires elaborate and separate addressal.

But, But, But…, Let’s battle this crazy big thing called Love and try to define the very basic of it anyway. Okay?

Love is Beautiful. Love is Magical.
Love is a Euphoria. Love is the essence of being hopelessly hopeful!

Love is not an instant pleasure! Not an impermanent one either.

Love is a journey of life, journey of feelings.

Love is a journey of collective human emotions and spirit.

And in the organic framework of life’s complex maze, Love for two individuals in love with each other, is essentially a state of ecstasy.

But at times, this same love brings a state of deepest dejection as well. 

You must be thinking i am such an anti-love soul to say so! Are you thinking so??

Well, i am certainly not. I root and hoot for Love. All the time!

Okay, let’s get back to the topic!

You might be wondering, a dejection? For whom? And How it can be a dejection?!

Well, for at least one of the individual in a relationship or may be for both the sweethearts at a given time.

Okay, one serious question;

Have you ever contemplated how much you love your Sweetheart?

Your significant other?

May be the more effective and universal question should be;

Do we actually love our significant other the way we love ourselves? Or anywhere around it?!

The thing is, most of the time we believe we are in love, is not because we unconditionally love “someone”. It’s because we inherently love ourselves more. We believe more in the idea, the notion of being in love and how this idea, how this notion floats us in ecstasy of our life!

It’s usually and mostly about ourselves.

It’s about how it excites us, how it drives us.

It’s about how it makes us happy, how it puts us in a state of euphoria.

Sometimes it’s all about how it triggers us with some set of negative emotions and how we personally feel about it and respond around it.

And in those moments, we are naturally more considering and fixated on ourselves.

The feelings and emotional longings of our own partner takes a backstage- at least at that moment of our mental space!

For us the feeling of being in love is mostly proportional to how it makes ‘us’ or our individual self feel at certain given time, or let’s say all the time, to put it in a perspective!

The tricky part here is, most of the time we are convinced internally, that all these set of our nuclear behavior is distinctively about and due to the exact same person we are in love with!

Is it so?!

No. This is not the reality. When you intrinsically think about it on a personal level, it is more about our own self.

It’s all driven by our innate instinct of- How someone else makes us feel! But seldom about how we make that ‘someone’ and that ‘significant’ person feel and believe in their being and their life in general- Through our actions, our words and behavioral attitude! (Do you understand what it means? )

And there, there we enormously fail to play the loving and supportive partner. There we eventually and effortlessly add burden to our love!

The question arises, How do we burden Love?! How do you think You and I burden the Love?

By, “Virtually yet effectively burdening it with too much one sided expectations, responsibilities, And absence of emotional reciprocations at crucial junctures”!

And steadily by the ways we say things, we do things, the ways we behave, the ways we react or simply don’t react, the ways we communicate or simply don’t, et cetera!

Practically, everything that is devoid of our conscious connection with our partner adds up inadvertently in the functioning of our relationships, resulting in the dejection and emotional burden added to respective partners.

So how do we not burden our love?

I believe, by simply trying to understand and inculcate the basic tenets of nurturing a relationship. By doing and extending very simple things for our partner, you and i would want for ourselves in a relationship.

See, In reality, with all those great avenues of feelings and delight that we experience through the presence of someone special in our life , True Love essentially requires work and a combination of extended reflection and reciprocations- from both the ends. It’s not some formulae but actually the way of raising a relationship.

It’s about having the consciousness of establishing something more meaningful and fulfilling for the respective partner, and not just accepting the ‘status quo’ of a toneless relationship.

It’s about discovering and having an understanding of what active and objective wellbeing means for our respective partner and at the same time, engaging in the details of promoting well being for him/her, without being conflicted between the priorities and myriad obligations of our own individual life and it’s well being.

Well, this all sounds like too much work! But that’s the intricacy and beauty of true relationships. It needs what it needs!

And, if we think about it on broader horizon, this is the kind of benevolence true lovers, true partners need, and should extend to each other in their day to day lives and thus allow nurturing a ground for both to grow and thrive and be there for each other, in love and in time!

I am not an expert on Love things, in fact i think i have dealt with this very vast yet sensitive topic in a very superficial way, or may be, in a way, i was able to put the heart of it, i am not sure.

But yeah, certainly one thing is sure, this is how in time, space and among people, i have started to learn and absorb everything about love and true relationships in general. And there’s no time or age limit to learn and rectify our ways of handling relationships even if it calls for some meaningful changes in our own being.

So, Yeah, Do Not Burden Your Love.

Do Not Burden The Love.

Just Be In Love. Be There For Each Other.

Just Be There! In Love. In Ways And In Time.

Now, when i am about to end this piece of my thoughts, i have a more pertinent question on my mind, the question being,-
Why do we tend to burden the Love?!

May be due to lack of organic communication between the two sweethearts?! Communication of all sorts? Not engaging in the extended reflection and reciprocation part of being in a relationship??

What do you say? What do You think??

Well, whatever it is, a true organic relationship always requires a serious work from each of us who claim and feel to be in love and inherently want to be in love and loved!

So, Please Work it. Please Work it out! ~A home without Love is an empty home!

Hope You have engaging conversations with yourself and the one you Love.

Cheers!! 🙂

#Stay Spirited. #Always.

Firefly

The light in me is dancing

Over the edges of my ignited soul

Mirroring the effervescent light of hers

Over the futuristic contours of time and verticals

And the moment we engulf into each other

The moment we embrace our animated souls

We will be a firefly, a firefly

Twirling on the timeless melodies of love

We will be a firefly, a firefly

Twinkling in the eternal conversations of life

We will be a firefly, a firefly

Enveloping our souls over the spirit of life

Dancing in the journey to the stars

We will be a firefly, a firefly.

PS. They say, a Home without Love is an empty Home and all the material goods cannot replace it, so Dear, Twirl and Twinkle in Love, In Life-with Love!

Whisper Your Strengths!

Ever felt drowning in the pain of waiting?!

Waiting for your soul to dance in the echo of enigmatic, eternal bliss!?

A pain so deep into your conscience, massively erect and poking fun out of your existence, like a rainbow of clowns hanging upside down, vehemently smiling at you?!

In case it does occur to you, bother not !

Just vehemently smile and wink back and swiftly Whisper…,

“I am a Superhero – My emotions empower me unfettered” 🙂

The pain, the waiting might not bubble out instantly, but those clowns would definitely fade in the stellar clouds of confetti and glitters of the spirited mind, the spirited soul. ✨ 🙂

Whisper Your Strengths..

Whisper Your Strengths…✨✨

PS. It’s been more than an year now, i started writing here, something initiated to explore my own webs and castles of thoughts, something i initiated to expand my realms of understanding and express the vastness i feel and observe in life’s every day’s struggle, learning, bliss, wisdom and yet the accompanying failures. And to be true, this journey of exploration and self expressions worked out amazingly constructive for me – I have grown stronger in my thoughts, my visions and my ability to perceive and express things with clarity and wisdom, which i certainly had hard times in expressing them before these blogs existed .

I remember, i did struggle initially writing in here, as for me personally, it was always one thing to think and just another uphill task to pen down something with the same expression, vigor and strength as it had generated in my mind in the first place.

In-fact, i still stumble. And i guess that’s okay.. 🙂

It’s okay to be surrounded by so much and yet feel the vacuum inside. If not me, who else will feel the heat inside-outside of me?! Same goes for you ! I guess.

What’s really important is to have the courage and urge to pour out every drop of sanity, to bleed our constructive thoughts into affirmative actions. And i believe that’s the way to push our limits, to test our understanding and to sharpen our belief only to strengthen our core and hence the outcomes.

So, when you feel drowned in waiting and weighed down in it’s continuous sufferings, don’t give up, just don’t surrender -not then, not there! Instead take a moment, breathe and collect all of you that truly defines ‘You’,  and surge ahead courageously! 

When we own our failures and all the shortcomings that we never accounted for, we become a better person”.

And when we “whisper our strengths and strive to work harder to defeat the demons in our path, We win.”

“WE WIN BIG !! ”

“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter.

Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” 🙂

It’s not a philosophy, it’s not a shortcut mantra, but it does add a spark in our willed heart to fight life’s umpteen battles.

Hope it ignites your enthusiasm. 🙂

Stay Safe, Stay motivated..!! Keep exploring and never stop evolving in your own vastness..!! 🙃

Until next time,

Naman Prakash 🙏.


Love Sense

Dear, Men and Women,

Lovers of all kind!

We all seek constant notion of happiness through Love,

We all desire a constant inkling of attention,

From our respective partners, significant others,

Or call it whatever we may please-in,

But, Dear Oh Dear,

A true Love is a constant work!

A constant creation of sense of commitment,

To let it grow organically,

To let each other grow organically

And be there for each other.

No matter what!

It’s about saying, I Love You to say I am Here…,

Every day, Every time, all our life.

If we seek love and to be loved,

Every One of us,

Then,

Like we work it out with ourselves,

Like we embrace ourselves,

With all of our rights and with all our wrongs,

With all our highs, with all our lows!

Dear oh Dear,

Love has no shape..!

Love is as vast as the expanding universe,

And, Love is fleetingly as shiny as a bubble.

We all create love on your own perceptions and belief,

And we all destroy Love on our own convenience and inconveniences. 🙃

Yes, We the Men and the Women,

Lovers of all kind,

Let’s nourish the love we create,

And Love will embrace us all,

Like The Love embraces itself.

And Love shall never stop growing on US!

Calling Into The Universe..!

Through the ambages of Life’s great maze,

I am calling for the new directions;

The ones leading me to the definite, but glorious paths.

I am in need of new words, and their invigorating meanings;

The ones i have known for years, resonate little lesser.

I am in need of some profound yet effective thinking;

The nebulous ones, only smother the light in me.

I am in need of continuous pragmatic learnings;

The ones i have learnt over the years require some vigorous learning curves.

And as i brave through this life’s great maze..,

I am calling for an absolute growing love;

The ones i have had, were a mere virtual reflection of it.

And here I am, On a desperate Calling,

The Calling Into The Universe,

And everything amassing it.

I am done being a lifeless Asteroid;

I am done being a mercurial Meteorite..!

For here, I am seeking an enormous Life in my Being.

And Yet, I am ready for the organic fall after the great subsequent growth…!

Through the ambages of Life’s great maze;

I am Calling Into The Universe..!

I am Calling Into The Universe…!!

Woman- A Full Circle

Dear Reader(s),
First of all a huge smile for all the women reading this. A smile filled with great reverence and admiration…!! Cheers to all of you spirited souls..!! 🙂

A Great and Happy woman’s Day – “Today” and for the next three hundred and sixty five days – year after year ! 🙂

Though, to be honest, i wonder, why a separate woman’s day?! Why , when in reality it’s been always far stretched a-concept without concrete shift in ideology, mindset and ground-work to bring some affirmative change ?!
No! Not at all i am trying to throw some cliches here. Deep down you too know, it’s just another day in thick skulls out there. Don’t you?!
Metaphorically, We always have associated women with the Nature as in by addressing the Earth as “Mother Earth” ! True by intentions, it stays metaphorically only!

An Analogy worth mentioning…,

International Woman’s day & International Earth Day!

What’s the correlation ?!

We just Exploit both of them! Without mercy, without being considerate. Without transcending the reverence they always have deserved.

My theme of deliberation here is to interrelate Woman and Earth! Think Think !!
Okay, some might call it over emphasizing or some might say what’s the connection, they both need separate addressing! True, that is the whole point of interrelating both.
If i am sane, i think woman and our precious planet, the earth, have intrinsically and fundamentally almost same characteristics..

How so ?!

“A Woman and The Earth is a full circle

within them, there is power to create

ability to nurture and eternal will to transform..”

– What say?! Does any one differ?! 🙂

And if i am not insane, i would ask you, ‘Don’t they have the power to destroy too?!’

“We all know the wrath of a Woman & The earth” ! “Smile”

I think they should merge The Earth day and Woman’s day, or celebrate both of them twice! Would that bring some change or impact?! ……?!

I personally think that could be an effective initiative to educate the young minds, effectively inculcating and nourishing the growing mindset, with positive and informative curriculum.

What do you think?!

But it’s not about the day and it’s celebration only.

It’s about how we are growing intuitively and transforming socially with this! Are We?!

Beyond Science and the theory of evolution – Beyond the bare bone understanding of the social fabrications of civilizations and it’s thousands misogynist succession: Let’s make an interpretation and allow me to ask you..,

Do You believe in God, and the divine creations?! Do You love and revere(fear) the almighty?! 🙂


Now, if you do, then how about a hypothesis that woman is actually the ‘divine’ architecture of The God, The Universe itself ?!
I mean, for all the believers, it could be put this way, that The God, that enigmatic something might have thought someday, in the initial phase of complex worldly creation, “I could not be everywhere physically at the same time, so lets create someone who can create, nurture and transform – Someone neither inferior nor superior to men, but far more capable and expansive than men.., someone, like A Woman” .
That could be a perspective, right?? To bring depth into the purpose of celebrating this particular day and honoring the being of this Vital Force ,”Woman” ?? Couldn’t it be ?! 🙂

Dear Men, don’t thump your chest, you can not beat this one. (LOL)
Do you find any other vital force as vast and infinite as a woman?? Please enlighten if you do. 🙂

Well, in all this, my point is simple, either one follows any established or non-established interpretations, Woman and her being certainly needs a broader acknowledgement, not just to revere her in flesh and bones only, but to realize hers far greater participation too!
Woman’s day is not just a dedicated day to celebrate “The woman” and her being, in all shapes and shades – But it’s also a day to remind, we as a society, are still struggling to acknowledge the true spirit of celebrating this day!

We don’t need ‘Woman’s Day’ only to pretend the pseudo power and significance of Womanhood just for this day alone.

This needs acceptance, rather than pretension.

Woman’s Day Everyday ..!

Few might foolishly ask what’s Her role throughout the civilizations?! Well..,

Rome was not built in a day. We all know that!

But it was certainly not built without the influence & wisdom of women in political and financial affairs – despite being unable to vote!

Men are still not tired of subverting the role of Women!

Hypocrisy in celebrating only this day?! Yes!!

“Red stains on her attire grasps everybody’s attention, while,

Red stains on the wall of Temple does not!”

– Carrying a Lifeless mind?!

Is she treated equally?! Not a day!

“A rapist, a pervert, a molester, a murderer – Everybody is allowed inside a temple.

Except a woman on her PERIOD.

Her body is biologically equipped to naturally cleanse itself ! Yet she suffers Inequality of lifetime right?!

What’s the point of all this?!

She’s a “Wo-man” ?? That’s it ?!

NO! She’s not just a prefix in a man’s history.., she is always the more!

Well none of the quotes, stories, or articles can bring the real purpose of celebrating this day, unless and until, men start invigorating and understanding, what a universe a woman is in herself, and realizing, she equally deserves all the goodness and the grandeur men cherishes for themselves.
And off course – A woman to woman exchange, share of mutual respect, admiration and empathy would also help massively in the way, we as a civilization treat woman all across the globe.
Nonetheless, A Happy Woman’s day… to each and every one of you.., this day and everyday! 🙂

You are Indeed a Superhero… 🙂

Stay Strong, Stay Invincible ✨✨

Rescue Humanity With Love..! You can. You Always have. 🙂

Warm Regards.. 🙏 🙂

Moments matter !

Immersing back into the ocean of love;

She asked,

Who is ‘She’ to him?!

He breathed-in;

Concealing the inflicting emotional wound,

looked into her stellar eyes and sincerely said,

“Moments..” !!

“Moments..”, moments of heartstrings;

Moments he always wanted to swathe in his arms.

She!

The sumptuously beautiful She;

Emerging back from the grand journey of life,

And asks,

Who is ‘She’ to him?!

He joyously breathes-in,

With sparkling eyes and euphoric soul,

looks into her magnificent being, and wholeheartedly says,

“Moments and the spirit of life…”!!

Moments he wants to swathe in his entire being,

Make it a part of himself and forever shimmer in it’s beautiful reflections..!

Moments..!

Moments matter!

They Heal You. They Build You. 🙂

War and Truth

‘The first casualty of war is Truth’

Aeschylus,Greek Dramatist, Fifth century BC.

The first casualty when war comes is Truth’

U.S senator Hiram Johnson 1917. World war I.

‘In wartime, truth is so precious that she should be attended by a bodyguard of lies’

Winston Churchill. World war II.

Note : This post is in response of my personal uneasiness after getting across some crass and infantile articles in context of recent hostile condition between India and Pakistan and it’s geopolitical issues in general.

Okay, let’s settle our thoughts, the first three phrases might have given you an idea that this write up is all about War, like-war situations or on similar lines. But actually it is not.

This is not about war, Geo-politics or not even about recent and somewhat critical phase between two nuclear armed nations – India-Pakistan!

This is certainly not about which country is right or which one’s wrong. It is neither about which country has misplaced priorities nor about which country has actually more serious goals to attain than underscoring political mileage.
This is on serious note, only about “communicating information” in today’s steadfast digital age that too in today’s vulnerable demography across continents and sub-continents.

” The first casualty of war is Truth “

Well, whoever said it at what point of time and in what historical context , one thing is laser sharp and clear – it’s still relevant today and perhaps more relevant than ever it was!

Information technology combined with internet – with the advent of these two, communication system has taken giant leap and more so by it’s fusion with breathless social media platforms.

And with social media taking center stage in transmitting real-time fabricated information, juvenile geopolitical understanding, political propaganda – The Truth suffers casualty of leaps and bounds.

” The truth has never been this vulnerable “

Well, this is not just about two nations at conflicts, this is in general more about being sane and sincerely mindful, of what one reads and evaluates.

True, we can not always rightly judge the veracity of the information and understanding being passed online and offline, but at least we can try to be reasonable and be little learnt about the subject of information at hand- learnt through knowledge, not social media brain fed !

Well, this is real tough job to be simultaneously learnt and save the Truth – But being educated has it’s own quantum perks! Isn’t it ?! We can differentiate between what’s Historically and politically factual and what is just gibble-gabble inspiring in and out of two nations in questions!

Wrong and misinformed minds can only create chaos, not peace ! “

Point is, try not to believe instantly things you read on social media platforms. You want to be learnt or informed about things that excites your general consciousness, things about nations, geopolitical situations, demography etc. – then please try to follow some reputed, unbiased Newspapers/news channels/news platforms/Bloggers with genuine research and analysis. And in leisure, if curiosity infects you, you can grab some good books too, for some honest narratives. 🙂

“If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday”

As this was not an elaborate write up around the topic, but i hope, i am able to make some sense here and you would get the crux out of it ! 🙂

Your thoughts and insights are most welcome.. 🙃☺️

Warm Regards 🙂
Until Next time, stay safe, stay motivated.

Naman Prakash🙏☺️
