To be loved is the best gift a person can receive in his entire life span. To be loved a person needs to be lovable. How can a person become lovable? Is it by giving more? By expressing his feelings towards his partner?? These questions often ponder in the minds of people who are strangers to love...
Literature, History and Philosophy states that Love cannot be clasped in your palms, we need to let go to love more... And if the loved one comes back then there are no bounds to the joy...
Love cannot be measured; its one thing which one can give in abundance and need not maintain an account register to calculate how much has been given. The more we give, the greater we receive...
I'm not an expert on Love, I guess nobody is, it�s a four lettered complex word which has in it all kinds of emotions attached to it, a sense of belongingness, attachment, togetherness, care, possessiveness, jealousy and a lot more..
All these emotions are the ingredients of a successful and delightful dish called Love; it all depends on the quantity of each of these ingredients on which the quality of taste differs.
All these years I kept pondering about what this feeling is all about now I know how it tastes and realize why people crave for it...
To be lovable, love a person unconditionally, don�t look at the other person�s faults, accept the person as he/she is, never expect the person to change, even if he/she changes accept his/her changes.. After all even though the winds of time may change but not the love for loved ones..
Life is too short to spend it in arguing over trifle matters, be kind to accept you�re own and other�s faults.
Set right expectations and that is don�t expect anything in return, I know its easier to say this than practice then I guess everything is easier in words than in action.
However lets try to implement at least a bit of this and you would see the difference made to the world...
I know I can�t change the world alone , I can only hope to make a start by loving my close ones even more, well if everybody does a bit I don�t see why we shouldn�t have a better world, with no hatred, no jealousy, no fights over trivial matters..
Don�t forget you only live once, why spoil it in hatred.., Love is the universal answer to all problems
When "Sujay" was young he was very much like the other youngsters of his age. He was very jovial, full of enthusiasm and was a comedian in his group. He always liked to make people laugh. He was popular among boys and girls, more popular among girls because they liked his jokes and comic antics. There was one particular girl " Sanjeevini " who lived next door to Sujay and whom Sujay was fond of. Sujay loved her secretly but never said anything about it to anybody not even to Sanjeevini.
As he grew older his love also grew with him to be a beautiful woman. They got separated and lead their own lives due to their Parent's occupations. Sujay who was once a very jovial person has suddenly changed a lot. He became moody and short tempered. He picked up all the unwanted habbits and his health deteriorated day by day.. On the other hand Sanjeevini wasn't much aware of this and she wasn't affected at all..She went on to become a doctor.
Sujay somehow completed his education and got himself a job, his only aim in life was to earn lots of money and do something good to the society especially for distressed women. He went on to be come a Software engineer in a big Multinational Company. Later he started his own firm.
After a long gap of 7 years Sujay happened to meet Sanjeevini, by that time she was happily engaged to somebody else. Sujay was further distressed by this and his addictions only grew..
In the meanwhile Sanjeevini's husband was employed in Sujay's firm and Sujay was unaware of this.. Once at the company party both Sujay and Sanjeevini met however this time after a gap of 15 years. Sujay was barely recognizable, he had become pale and looked very weak.
Sanjeevini immediately recognized Sujay, though Sujay recognized Sanjeevini cause she was his first love; he pretended as though he had met her for the first time. After the formalities Sanjeevini's husband Sanjeev Rao went to meet his friends, Sanjeevini took this oppurtunity to be alone and stepped to speak to Sujay.
Sujay spoke to her well, Sanjeevini enquired about Sujay's wife and he pointed her to a lady with two children having some punch at the corner of the hall.
Sanjeevini headed straight to the lady and introduced herself. She said "There is something seriously wrong with your husband, he really looks pale and weak, haven't you taken him to the doctor? ". The lady laughed and said " My Husband!, you might be mistaken; my husband expired two years ago leaving behind my son and daughter". Sanjeevini was taken back, "Isn't Sujay your husband" she enquired politely."No!" was the immediate reply.
"I only work in his firm, he looks after me like his own sister and even takes care of my children. He hasn't married his entire life, he is still a bachelor". Sanjeevini had lost all the words, she didn't know what to speak.
"Don't you have any children ?" asked Poonam the lady whom Sanjeevini mistook for Sujay's wife."No" said Sanjeevini. " Sujay has supported hundreds of widows like me, he has started many ashrams and orphanages, why don't you adopt, probably Sujay can help you, he has many contacts" expressed Poonam.
That night Sanjeevini couldn't sleep, she was thinking about Sujay. Next morning she went to meet Vinay and Ananda; Sujay's best friends. She wanted to know why Sujay had remained a bachelor, she couldn't get to know much just that he had fallen in love with a girl but couldn't express his love. The girl's name was a buried secret which Sujay had never revealed. She wanted to know why Sujay was spoiling his life inspite of acheiving so much in life.
"how many years do you think he is going to survive?" asked Vinay, " don't you know he has cancer and he is in the final stage now. The doctors say that he has less than 6 months now. He doesn't care, he laughs it out aloud." That completely shook Sanjeevini.
In the next five months she once again became friendly with Sujay and spoke to him a lot. Then one fine morning she read about Sujay's death in the newspaper. She was grief struck, nobody ever knew the woman behind Sujay's life and Life went on........
