There come some stepping
stones in life which are so rare and random and yet so enchanting that you continue
to remain enamored by them for quite a long time. Once the lovely mist
surrounding you starts thinning, you realize that you have grown up
considerably as an individual.
And this growing up is for
the better. It’s much sweeter when it’s not growing up only as an individual -
yes, you got me right. Getting enchanted by someone, and then growing up with a
sweetheart - such a sweet phase. Right from walking together at malls, trying
to get over with shyness, trying to suppress the blushes, trying to bump
together so that your hands brush against each others' ; to that phase where
you stop bothering about someone watching you, when what matters is just the
two of you and your togetherness. The togetherness, beyond distances, beyond
localities; the understanding of the unspoken word and of the unheard emotion; the
depth of love, beyond anything ever felt or heard or otherwise known of - when you
begin to understand how foolish you had been till date to pursue other things -
so mundane, so useless, such a waste of energy. Guess that's love, the personal
emotion of love, as innocent as a new born baby, as pure as the earth washed
the whole night in heavy rains on a full moon night, that makes you do stupid
things, that makes you go crazy, giving you a recurring grin on your face. The
emotion that's so warm, you don't need to wear any woolens during the cool
February, when even the Lord above bestows your surroundings with unprecedented
rainfall. The emotion of togetherness, of being there for each other, when even
hectic days looks so manageable, because you know you are truly blessed by God,
that you have a life support system so well in place, there is no possible way
you can stay stressed for long. You know hearing her – the voice as well as the
shyness surrounding it – it’s simply going to bowl you over as always, you know
her best wishes for you forever are going straight to the Lord to bless you
even more, and then, as if guided by the angels above, magically she is going
to hold your hands in hers, and the world shall stop right there.....
Feel the magic of love if
you can, when you can, in any which way you can. That’s the most perfect
emotion in the universe, and you can feel it only as a human being, being
blessed with the capabilities of the higher order!
