Ecstasy

Sudden pull, a silent call
A minute had it all.
The throne of all emotions
Departed with complete devotion.
Heartbeat out of bounds
The moment doing the rounds
Of mind, unless it felt like
It had become your whole life.

Sudden bursting into a song,
Waiting seemed far too long.
Smiling when there was no reason,
“Beautiful” described every season.
Though it was a dream
Unimaginable, impossible it seemed.
Only wish, life being at its best
Was for it to forever last.

Old Love

‘Love Story’ by Erich Segal doesn’t need an introduction. Everybody has read it or at least heard about the portrayal of unconditional love in this famous novel. It touches your heart straightaway.
But recently I read another story, fictional of course, of love so heartfelt that it surpassed all conventional depiction of expressible love. I am talking about Jeffrey Archer’s short story “Old Love” here, a part of his collection of stories, A Quiver Full of Arrows. On reading it, there was no way I couldn’t feel the depth of feelings in the heart of protagonists in spite of them being arch rivals and yet living a successful, happy married life as equals.
One part of the charm of the story probably lay in the fact that it reaffirmed that real love stands upon understanding of each other’s feelings, respect for each other’s capabilities and a desire to help improve their shortcomings. Love does not mean having to say sweet nothings to each other all the time, or having to visibly express your emotions all the time. You might never tell each other how much you love them but it should show in your attitude towards your loved one.The easy, friendly, positively competitive love of the protagonists took my heart away, specially the ending. It was worth the read, a difference from the clichéd love stories

The Self -Esteem Creed

I read a sort of a poem sumplace that I liked...here it is for everyone to read and ponder about.

God made me; I was no accident
I was in God’s plan
And He doesn’t make junk…ever,
I was born to be,
A successful human being
I am somebody special, unique,
Definitely one of a kind,
And I love Me.
That is essential so that
I might love you too.
I have talents, potentials
Yes, there is greatness in me
And if I maintain my special ness,
Then I will write my name
With my deeds…


I was born in God’s image
And likeness
And I will strive to do
God’s will.
