the opposite of love

what is the opposite of love?

well hate yes...but "practical" is more appropriate.

you cant love someone if you are practical all the time.

Because love is a such an unconditional thing it cannot be practical...logical...

as someone said very wisely .."if you are not ready to look stupid, dont fall in love.."

true..wise words..

love is so impractical...it makes you ignore faults...irritating habits...makes you irrational..illogical...makes you ignorant...emotional...stupid...idiotic...unnecessarily happy...unnecessarily sad...

a "lover" goes through all the moods possible for a human being within a single day...

happy...sad...irritated...puzzled...dreamy...excited...conscious...not conscious...shameless...

surely something that can stir up so many emotions in a human being cant be a bad thing...

a reading experience

it was a holiday for me...we were expecting guests as it was an auspicious day in the hindu calendar.
i had some bank work for which i bathed and got out of the house...i was out at 930..guests were going to come at 11...i did not want to go home so soon...so i decided to do what i wanted to go and do...
i went to the park...a garden to be specific...a Japanese garden to be more specific.

i went through the old weird gate and as soon as i entered the premise of the park all the sounds of cars and bikes just melted away into the trees..it just felt right...
i went up to the counter and bought a ticket...5 rs...and that was that...i could wander around all i wanted to...seeing anything i wanted to... without anyone instructing me how to...i moved towards the entrance of the garden...it was made in bamboo and wood...natural...i wandered through the entrance and steered to the left....there was a criss-cross of pebbled paths...and small overbridges....with man made rivulets flowing over small round stones creating a network of small rivulets...this signified for me the in-numerous rivers of thoughts within me..within us all.....there were eagles and kites flying overhead, swooping once in a while to catch something off the ground...the sounds of nature engulfed me... birds , leaves and wind formed the most melodious music together...the sun all too harsh otherwise seemed to be now very warming my fever ridden body...there were many places of shade on offer...

i found a spot next to a man made waterfall....the murmur of the light waterfall guzzling over the rocks aided my thoughts...i sat down opened my book (yes i had a book luckily)...began reading....time seemed to have slowed down for me...there was a slight breeze that was flowing ....my body was relaxed....my mind was free...by free i dont mean free from something...i mean ...free to think...about anythn...i read for some time...i felt i had read better...

5 rs ... in this ever inflation-ridden India ...5 rs remains the cost of freedom...freedom of mind body and soul...

run ..

i work...in an office...with typical office problems...something we all can or eventually do learn how to deal with...

what i cannot deal with is uncertainty...and ur life is full of it...

u dont when u ll com home

u dont kno when u have a meeting

u dont when ull be screwed fr a mistake

u dont kno when smbody will take credit fr ur work

u dont kno who will say what to whom

u dont know whether u ll meet ur deadline this time

u dont know whether u ll get appreciated for ur work

u dont know whether the girl in office u see everyday even knows that you exist.... :) 

u dont kno anythn!!

but when you run.......

u feel in control

u can feel ur body breathe...and really understand the meaning running...health...everythn

u can decide how fast or slow u want to go

u can decide where to look what to see what to feel

its an amazing feeling to be in full control of ur self

when ur running u can actually feel ur body s presence

u can feeling ur power to do things...to make things happen...

it is an empowering feeling

ur aware of yourself.....

thats why i run....
