The Feeling of Love

1 .The song u hv been humming all afternoon…..
Anbe Aaruyire sung by A R Rehman from the movie Ah Aah - Anbe Aaruyire
You can listen to it in this link.
http://www.raaga.com/channels/tamil/movie/T0000690.html
And nope its not just singing, been dancing to it too:d

2 .The weirdest thing u hv ever done…..n we want details plzzzz….......
Cry during a home alone movie,and not cry over my son's dead body.
I hate callousness, and I felt it was wrong of the audience to laugh at a guy getting an electric shock (in the movie) and death, it numbs you and its part of life, and doesnt prompt you with dialogues and tears. (Its more like the one of Nagesh in Kamal's movie Namavar??) Trying to figure out the plot of the Bold and The Beautiful by reading the episode guide, all because I watched it when STAR first came to India. http://www.cbs.com/daytime/bb/

3 .Ur very first crush??still like him/her??or even remember them??
I didnt remember till you reminded. I remember the crush not the person :d

4 .Lets get to know u better…..wat do u do n do u find it ne interesting??
I dream stories. And I have been doing it ever since I have been a kid. Its with me all the time, and I dont have to stand queue for a movie ticket and its a good substitue. When even the whole world lets me down, I still have my stories, to go back to. Its absolutely fun, I love it, Always. Everyday

5. So r u committed or single……eitherways plzz answer dis question…..who is d one person u wud lyk to take out on a date frm o3……this is so silly……….n its compulsory…..plzzz answer……….
Committed Absolutely, to my husband (unfortunately for him)
Definitely O3 admin, to try and get back my Wise Donkey blog back.
Among the bloggers, I could name the blogger, but dont want to embarrass the blogger, and make the blogger think I have a crush :D Busybee, I like her attitude and perspective, and since she doesnt blog much, it would be interesting to hear her talk.

6. Ur cloud 9 moment……wen u were the happiest…………remember n be happy……
This moment :) Its important to be happy as many minutes as possible. I am cherishing life, right Now.

7. the weirdest person u came across today…..
Smiled back at me from the mirror.

8 .Another tactless, silly question…..hws ur mood??
Cheerful, contemplative, lazy and cynical.

9 .Wats the last movie u saw or the latest buk u read…..recommended or stay away?
Movie : Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (finally). Well everyone who wanted to see it would have seen it. And those who dont want to see it, wouldnt listen to me.
I thought it was just a movie, not a statement. What was the big deal about it.

Book : One Two Buckle My Shoes, Agatha Christie. Unless you are a Poirot fan, stay away.

Cha ! If I had known I will be answering a Tag, would have seen / read something more interesting :(

10. Wat do u think of urself??
My name says what I think about myself.
But whats more important is what I Feel about myself. And I FEEL GOOD.

11 .dis is important…..wat do u think of d person who tagged u…
savy : vivacious (hope i spelled it right). I love her energy and enthu for life.

12.in tune wid my list of silly questions……..another crappy one……ever fallen in luv??how does it feel??n wat sort of a lover were u….

Yes

When you are really in love, you dont think of marriage , you just feel happy, complete and fulfilled.
Its like feeling cold and wet in a harsh storm, and it stops suddenly and the sun comes out and you feel the warmth of the sun, and there is a slight drizzle, and you appreciate the rain, as it burshes your cheek, and feel the breeze which has replaced the harsh wind and then suddenly you see a rainbow. You dont think about possessing the rainbow, or taking the rainbow with you. Just want to take a deep breath and live the moment. Even after the rainbow disappears, you walk home with a skip in your footsteps and a hum in your throat. You cherish the moment and thank God for giving you life. Love is like that.
And when the person you love, says, I love you too, its like the sun rainbow rain and the breeze walking saying hey you make us feel great too.
And even if its almost a decade after marrying that person, you dont get tired, but look forward to the thought of spending the another moment with the person (even if it means fighting over the remote control:D)

Rotten lover (till yesterday:D), though a sincere lover (forever).

13. u also hv to say wat u felt abt the tag??
hmmm, what matters more, who is going to read it.

14.Den wat u feel abt the person who tagged u??
I thought I answered it on the 11th one. Well I dont like tags, but I like Savy, so I couldnt refuse the tag, and gave it my best. Hope I didnt let you down Savy. And you better read it :d

Now go ahead and tag…….
Its fun free
and more real than the TN govt's Color TV
Grab it Now :D

O3 oh O3

To a significant entity.

I dream about you, at night
Even though the days with you were nightmares

I laughed when you broke down the first time,
Now you have had the last laugh by breaking down, for a long time.

I am not angry with you
How can I, when I feel so sad for you.

I wait for you to return,
Even though dear, you said it would be Diwali, than New Year

posted as a comment in o3support # re: Under Maintenance 1/2/2006 5:32 PM

But surely someday you will return, with a bang
And mock those who thought you have gone burst

I visit, your space even now
Hoping for a message, a clue,
something to tell me what you are going through
Sometimes I do leave messages,but then I dont think to you they get through

You are so special to me
Because I have had some wonderful and terrible times with you

Your silence can match Sphinx Sonia
Your Power to make others go crazy can beat the Sania Mania

My friends are tired about me, talking about you
They are ever confused on when I am with you and when I decide to leave you

But this time you dumped me
Sure I have written a guide on "Dumped and Down in the Dumps"

But its easier to prescribe the medicine
Than to take the bitter medicine

Well even when I am making a fool of myself,
Cant help typing how I feel about you.

Oh I am so desperately waiting, waiting for you.

tag 30

Techj has tagged me
and so here goes a post to self after 30 years
17th January 2036
Hi Gayathri, oh btw its Wise Donkey
I bet you wouldnt be reading it on this day though. Many think you have a good memory. Well you do have a good memory, but thats because you have a poor memory and get anxious about it and then manage to have a good memory.

Anyway if you are reading this do answer somethings. And hopefully blogger wont have deleted this. Or made it exhorbitantly expensive for you.

So you made through life without being a victim of an accident. Ha and you died due to fear so many times...
And cool you didnt commit suicide. unless you are a ghost and still haunting the blog world. :D

Hmmm how is your eyesight. cant imagine it being good.

Pretty dumb to not have any ambition or expectation from life.hmmm so did the problems which seemed so big seem that big now to you.

Did you pass the psy exams and become a psychologist and did you write any book. to be continued

Short Story - Conqueror's Crown

Feeling as helpless as a puppet, she went about the house listlessly, cleaning up after her five-year-old daughter, who had gone out to play. A month ago, she had been thrilled at her new assignment. A widow, and financially weak, she had been thrilled at the prospect of the financial security the new posting seemed to offer. But her entire department, inclusive of her seniors, seemed to be corrupt. Her dilemma was simple. She was getting instructions on files from her superiors who simply took the bribes that she rejected. And, indirectly, she was becoming a puppet in the hands of the corrupt system.

It was a battle in her mind between her conscience and temptation. She had discussed the problem with her parents and friends. They had been disappointed that she had not taken advantage of her position. And now they were aghast when they realised that she had been collecting evidence to act against the corrupt in her department. By indulging in these 'crusades', they pointed out, she would be jeopardising even her daughter's future. Her family put down her conscience to sheer stubbornness. Didn't it matter to them, her need to be honest and straightforward?

Temptation was very persuasive. After all, she was not taking any bribes personally and was following advice of seniors. If that was considered corruption, then why not go one small step further. and take advantage of the benefits that were being doled out to others in her department? View them as perks, maybe. When her superiors were so heavily involved, who would question her?

Her conscience now argued with her. The reasoning was simple - if you are not against them, you are with them, it said. It asked her to act as her conscience directed. She felt miserable. She had earlier felt like a puppet dancing to her corrupt superior's' tunes. Now it was worse. It was a tug of war between temptation and conscience in her own mind. She felt like breaking down.

Temptation seemed to come in with the knockout punch. What would she gain by antagonising her colleagues at office and her friends and family? The crux of the matter was that the system was corrupt. How many scams had been unearthed every year and, more importantly, how many had been ever punished? She didn't have the power to change the system. But surely, her pesky conscience nudged, she had the power to decide not to be part of this system.

Temptation, however, refused to give up so easily. It had another ally - fear. Surely, not everyone in her department would meekly accept her actions. What if they tried to transfer her, or, worse, frame her, or maybe even cause physical harm? What would happen to her daughter?

Conscience asked her not to muddle the issue. There was never a guarantee on any life, as she had realised when her husband had died. It didn't sugarcoat the consequences. If she had to live with her conscience, sacrifices would be required.

How significant would be her sacrifice? She picked up her daughter's history textbook lying on the floor. The freedom fighters mentioned in it, seemed to mock at her dilemma. Okay, maybe this was not the India our elders had fought for.

The temptation and the fear were huge when compared with the value of convictions. Temptation asked her to mind her own business; conscience implored her to do her work without giving in to temptations and carrying for the consequences.

She felt helpless and wondered "Conscience, Convictions, do they have any power?" She absentmindedly picked a book. It was a pictorial depiction of Ramayana. She stared at the pictures before her.

WHO WOULD QUESTION HIM, IF HE AGREED TO BE THE KING?

A human prince had to choose between pleasure and pain.
What would he gain, by choosing pain?

But he realized that -
The right path is not the one that is filled with roses,
but often it is filled with thorns

Refusing the kingdom, since his conscience was his king
he conquered the toughest enemy - the temptations within.
And instead of an Emperor, became a Conqueror

The Convictions of the Conqueror lifted him Higher and
Converted the value of His sandals, to another's Crown,

Bharat reverently raised to his head, the Conqueror's Crown.

We all need to doubt our doubts and believe in our beliefs
