what do you like most about life??

each time i meet a new perosn, the third or the fourth question i ask that person is " what do
they like most about their life.."

some people dismiss it thinking i m just a crazy kid.. with stupid thoughts and a lot of freetime..

i dont want to stop them from thinking so.. neither do i want to even attempt to do so..

i want to share with you some of the answers that I really liked..

my best friend told me.. after a lot of contemplation over dinner.. " i like the the way the humans connect to each other.."

its such a beautiful and true thought... say for a simple and latest instance... jhumpa lahiri imagined and wrote the namesake.. Mira Nair.. read it.. was touched by the thought of a woman to the extent that she made a movie on it.. And we went to watch that movie and cried in the cinema hall.. the silent tears at the loss of the Gogol's father and the betrayal of his wife. .. is it simply not amazing that.. a woman i never knew existed imagined and wrote .. and i unaware of her being, watched a movie and cried..

so true were my friends words...

one of my senior's in college told me that the best thing about life in his view is the "ability to forget things.."

can u recall the most trivial of fights and all the bad things people have done to you and you did to people... gosh!!!! i thank GOD for the gift of forgetting : )

some one told me the feeling of being loved is the best thing about life...
and it is indeed a feeling that makes you feel so pure and light...

i also got in reply .. the feeling of the morning sun on my face... the whisper of the wind in my ear.. peace ..

The reason why I ask this to people is cause it makes me feel happy for there are so many things in life that I can cherish although there will always be more that i'd want...

What i like most about life is passion and the fact that there are no reverse gears in life..

What do you like most about life??

The Fairytale that never was to be but still is...

" I trust you ".
No reply.
"Do you understand?"
"I do".
Silence.

And in that silence, they made a bond. A bond For them. For each other.For Life.
------------------------------
They lived in different physical worlds.
But it did not matter. Cause the worlds within them were the same.

------------------------------
"You are my New Year present".
Smile.
------------------------------
They talked a lot. About every thing and anything and at times nothing.
They grew on each other like flowers on earth.
----------------------
" I am glad that our paths crossed".
" I hope its not just the crossing of paths but a long journey together".
"hmm".
----------------------
Together they were wild, restless, enrgetic....... Free...
Yet bonded strong.
-----------------------
"We have different lives both You and I.. But why are we still here??"
A gaze that said all and nothing at the same time.
"You think any one will ever understand us??"
"No".
-----------------------
"Just a few more days left.. and I ll leave.."
"you wont come back soon".
"what makes you think so??"
Silence.

The silence they shared was much more than a lot of empty words and hollow conversations.
-------------------------
The night they said bye.. one of them knew they ll never meet again.
-----------------------
The earth is never left in peace sometimes by troubles from the inside and some times with troubles from the out side.There was an unsaid resignation cause it got difficult to breathe.
-----------------------


Moved on they did... but could not from each other.. cause every lil thing brought back nostalgia.. cause what they shared was more than just time... they shared existence... so truly, they did and do have a long journey together... but ...

measurement

" they say this is right" .. "thats wrong".. "they say do this" .. "and not that".. "they say eat this" .."not that"..

"they say walk like this" .. "sit here"....

"don't talk like that"..

"thats not how its to be done"..

and more and more such direct or indirect pointers are to come and keep adding to the brewing account..

But why do I give them the right to dictate the terms of my life..

and Why do I accept it as a way of life.. some times as a daughter...as a sister.. as a human being.. as a friend.. .. cause I should not.. its my life and ideally i should live it my way..

and Yet I let them...

What if humans had cholorphyll

i sit here in in my chair and wonder about some thing thats substantially inconsequential..
and still i wonder.. " what if humans had chlorophyll ??"

i know its too weird a thought.. but i do think about it..

To start with it ...

i think we d be green...all of us the whole of us..the hands.. the eyes.. the face..

food will never be problem.. there d be none who would go hungry.. or rather very few people will go hungry..

will we have to be in the soil like plants??
what colour clothes will we wear??

will racism still exist??
will people still fight??

and i still wonder...
