Why Do I Love You?

Ever wondered, why do we love the one we do?

'Why do I love you?' I am sure many people, who have ever been in a relationship would have got this thought. It could be for different reasons. But when I think (to myself) that ‘why do I love you?’ or ‘why am I still in love with you?’ I (my heart) feel the need to answer myself (my brain) with a logical and practical reason.

It’s not because we are married for 7+ years, or we stay together under the same roof, or we see each other every day or do things together. It is certainly not just because we can talk about everything under the sun. And yes, it’s certainly not just because, you are tall, handsome and so good-looking. Well, let me see if I can find the genuine answer to this question – ‘why do I love you’.

You know something, you are one of the bestest (better than the best) few things that happened to me. I get this thought when I see you sleeping peacefully, every morning. My cutie pie! You look beautiful. I can keep looking at you, for minutes, hours, days… eternity. Haha don’t know really, but at the least till my snooze button goes on and reminds me that it’s time for the day to begin. Get out of the bed, go to work, travel, and then come back home.

Coming back home to you in the evenings is what I truly look forward to, every day. My home is where you are (getting too corny I guess, well bear with me a little). In fact, I don’t know what I would do if not this.

You are my comforter, yes that’s the tag I can use for you. This sounds more apt than a husband, friend, counselor, or whatever role you play in my life. When my mind is in any kind of a mess, it looks for you, perhaps I don’t always seek advice, but feel the need for your presence.

When I am emotionally stressed or physically fatigued, my mind automatically reaches out to you. I want to be cuddled in your comforting arms and want you to wrap me in a big bear hug – my safe place 😊. 

There are times when I want to talk to you, but there’s nothing to talk about; and I again just want to be with you, even if it is without saying a word or two. Just looking at your smile or cracking silly jokes (which only you laugh at) makes my heart happy (ahh...corny again…)

So, I guess it’s the effect you have on me and all of my existence. That’s the reason I love you!!

Draupadi - Action Prevails Emotions

The woman of Kaliyuga…. before the Kaliyuga descended One of the few very clear memories I still have of my childhood is when my mother was feeding me lunch and we were happily chatting about Mahabharata. While talking, I said ‘when I grow up, I want to become Draupadi’. She yelled at me ‘ pagal ho gayi ho kya?, kuch bhi bak bak karti ho. Khana khao chup chap ’. I was taken aback by her sudden anger. Barely 7-8 years of age, I didn’t quite understand the reason for her annoyance, then. Today, after decades I certainly do. Indeed, I do understand, why a mother wouldn’t want her daughter to become Draupadi or even get closer to what she suffered. All said and done, she was the heroine of the one of the only two greatest epics of the country’s history – Mahabharata.

A Soul Stirring Journey! (Book Review)

Image Source   Book: The Seeker Author: Karan Bajaj The climax of the book is just unexpected. Well that's not how you would expect me to begin a review, but it's simply not what I had anticipated. In fact with the twists and turns I actually had no idea how the book will end. Had completely given up all my presumptions. I'll be honest, first few pages were a little boring for me. Perhaps, because the beginning is slow or maybe because I thought this packing your stuff and going away is a 'very guy' thing. Alright, the fact is I was jealous of Max, that  he could just walk away from his corporate life towards a different life...... However, I continued to read; I was curious to know   how far does Max go in order to reach that state where he feels detached from the world yet one with every tiny bit of the universe. And boy what a journey that was! I enjoyed it :)

From ‘ASL Pls’ To Emoji’s

I don’t get tired; no really, I do not get tired or bored at all narrating our story to anyone. Infact every new person I meet, I try to grab this opportunity to talk about us – You and I!   And I surprise myself when I realise that I still remember it all so well. Every single detail of 4 years of friendship, 4 years of long-distance relationship, and 7 years of being married. Well, can’t really say that about the last 7 years :P, but the first 8 years are like embedded in my DNA. Pic clicked by Sudipto Roy I think our story is unique. It’s beautiful. Just 15 years old but so much has changed in this one and half-decade. Or not much?
