Love surpasses Everything !!

He is my Childhood friend, we sit in adjacent seats right from KG and ve done all mysterious stuff together. Not all would be lucky to have a friend with whom you've played when you were 6 months old. I'm blessed with one such friend. We share everything. (Not a single day I have left his lunch for him ;) ) We grew, and we got into 10th class, we were not the brainy heads of the class and so we were made to sit late in the evening to Study (Hate that). Thou we managed to chit-chat bypassing the attention of the supervisors.

One day we were caught by the Principal. She made a 12th girl to sit amidst us. I thought that could not stop us from talking, but to my astonishment, things changed, My dear friend started ogling with the 12th girl, he just dint talk, what he did was Talk-k-k-k-k-k-k-ing ! I didn't have any other go, so expertized “One eyed Nap” without getting caught. Days rolled by, Their bonding got better, Eves-dropping was boring too, coz they spoke about all worthless things in this world ;) ;) . Finally it was end of the year and She passed out of the School. We, got into 11th Class. With all the threats bombs, we pretended to work hard. These 2 years he never happened to talk about her, so I presumed they've lost contact. Finally we completed 12th and I was forced into Engineering and he was pushed into B.Sc. Do I need to say, we just met in weekends and we shared all college stuffs, but he never uttered a word about the girl.

One day when we were in the second year, I was returning home late, I got a sight which I couldn't believe. My dear friend with a girl in his Dad's bike. All I had to do was smile wide. (Kalavani payalae) I never saw the girls face, but the voice inside me clearly said its her. Went home refreshed myself and started to his home, where I saw an innocent guy watching TV. Took him upstairs and Wrestled him and asked

Me: Boss, Whats happening, Whoz the one in your pillion this eve, You finally got caught huh!

Him: Me huh, Dey I was watching TV since I came from college.

Me : (Again Wrestled and posed him for Rock bottom)

Him: Wait ! Wait !! Lemme tell you !!

Me : (Releasing him from my clutch) You could have done this earlier !! fine temme wats goin on!

Him: Blush Blush,

Me: Speak out now, or you'll be killed.

Him: Dai, you know her.

Me: I know, buy you are saying it now ;)

Him: Yes da, its her, who sits amidst us, you remember??

Me: Yes sir, I do (All Smiles) You kept it off the shelves all these days huh..Anyways good.

But Shez 2 years elder to you, Did you give a thought about it?

Him: Neva mind, I love her for what she is, and just these two year difference would never stop things.

ME: Cool that you're strong about it...., Seri Seri Treeeeaaaaaattt !!

So things went that way and I really felt happy for him for I knew the girl is real worth for the chase, Yeh you could easily find the dedication in a person's eyes. But one thing kept eating my mind, He is younger than her, will their parents agree, Is he really serious or is he wearing the rose glass? . But All I wanted is his happiness and wish he gets married to her, but with a sense of uncertainty in heart.

Days n years rolled off. Now he has completed his B.SC and MBA too and got a job in an MNC. She works as a lecturer in a college. Right time to take it to the parents. They both were convinced on this and they took it forward. I was sure about one thing, his parents would agree as a matter of fact their marriage was a love marriage. As I suspected, it went, O'ly his mom showed a concern on the age factor initially but things went smooth with his dad's stolid support.

Here came the twist, They opened the issue in her home, We looked at the problem in just one dimension, age factor, but here grossed another dimension. She is a brahmin and he is not. It bombed to be the biggest problem now. They even abused him on this, but just for the sake of her, he (Mr.Short temper) tolerated everything. It took a year to convince her parents and both of them stood in their stans. One fine day they agreed to get them married. He is 23 and she is 25, they were not sure if this is the right time to get married, but just one thing conquered their mind, they just cant live without each other. .

So the wedding bells are here, Again as they progressed towards the wedding, the parents had those verbal wars, his father is an atheist and her father is religious. They had conflicts of opinions, but these two handled it in the best way possible without hurting their parents. They never showed their blues to others. I've read in novels and seen in movies, Body of two and soul of One, but when I saw all these things happen, I really felt lucky to witness it.

Finally it was this Sunday , the day of happiness, the day of rituals , the day of smiles, and the day of their dreams. They got married after a 6 years commitment, I felt deep in my heart that the two should have the best of lives for they stood across all the tougher times together passing the testaments of life.

To Fall in Love happens to everyone,

To find the soul mate happens to few, but

To stand for them,no matter what, happens just with very few !!

I'm proud that my friend is one among the very few!

This post is dedicated specially to My Dear Friend and to all those who value True Love !

The Youngest Teacher !!

Yes, I guess, she is the youngest teacher I've had in my life, The very moment I think about her, her charming smile spreads across my mind 'n heart! There are days where I've walked miles just to have a glimpse at her. Fizzz...Ok lemme portray her in detail later..

Coming to the story, One day as usual, I went out on a deal which demanded a tiring 140 Kms ride on a sunny Sunday. After the day full of effort gone futile, I rested stretching myself being fatigue in the couch in ma aunt's place where I usually dine on Sundays. A sense of incompleteness was haunting me, I managed to stretch 'n relax my body but not my mind, it was grinding thoughts, it couldn't digest the efforts goin void.
I felt exhausted at heart,its not always easy to say "So what" when your efforts attain a translucent form ! I didn't give a word, I was jus pre-occupied with thoughts running jetfast in ma mind.

I usually rest in the couch that's in one of the corner of the big room. Angels Disguised, the two kids there, Dominant younger sister Sharon and the Submissive (So called ;) ) Sheryl. Yeah they are 15 months old and Sharon is younger by a minute I guess( twins yaar). For no reason, Sharon always has an affinity to me, no matter what,the moment I get in she would jus run to me and cling, the very touch I would forget all these materialistic rat races around me, but this day things being quite adversely disappointing, I wasn't able to cherish that moment. She came to me with all the eagerness in her eyes asking me to Sway her to the ceiling (The usual game which she enjoys and giggles) ,but she was disappointed that day and reluctantly walked back to her toy play staring back at me like a heartbroken teen ;-)

As she started playing, she caught a view of the crystal ball that was on the table that took the sunlight and gave out a spectrum of colorz, obvious that it would grab a kids attention. But the table was quite taller. She walked fast towards the table with her eyes on the crystal ball, Nothing bothered her at that moment, she stamped her sisters Barbie that was lying on her way, all set on Crystal ball. As she approached closer, she became faster, and in a moment her head struck the tall table and fell down.I bolted off my seat but before that her mom took her in her arms, and what was unconventional is she never cried, she was still staring at the crystal ball, her mom let her down, she was still for few moments till her mom got in..Now aware of what happened she came near the table, she stood couple of feet in front of it and started observing things around and suddenly stuck seeing something. I was intrigued seeing this, I knew she is busy planning something in her head, thou unsure of wats it !

Within a spur of moment she moved to the corner of the room close to the table and started pushing a tiny stool towards the table. She was successful in laying the stool next to the Table with supporting wall. I kept staring with a smile blooming in my face for she made me wonder "How do they know all this !!". She stared back at the kitchen entrance making sure her mom's not around and pursued her task. She tried climbing over the stool, but she never knew how to climb. She managed to put one of her leg in the stool, but she was losing balance as she took her second foot off the ground. She slipped while attempting first, Never give up. she managed not slipping second time, but again failed. "Shud I help her getting that Crystal ball??" that was the voice that echoed right at the moment, but really mystical, The answer was "No". I neither got off ma couch or missed a moment from staring her.

She tried pulling the table cloth and bring the Crystal ball near, but table had some heavy weighing stuff make this attempt a failure too. She now knew shortcuts are not gonna work out, she again started try climbing the stool with different angles and possibilities, finally after atleast exhaustive 15 attempts she got a hold on the table's top with another hand clamping the grill in the window aside and stepped on to the stool, She glimpsed me with a smile of pride, that bragged a million words ;). Now she knew the crystal ball is within reach, she rose high and leaped towards and plunged on it. She now very carefully got down the table, hugging her valuable possession with one hand and another hand on the window grill. She Got down, yes with her possession in hand and a wide smile with no teeth seen. I was astonished thou it was not a climb over the mount Everest, It was impulsive that I got off ma couch and took her in my arms and hugged an appreciation (thou she neva cared for she was busy examining her new possession) I let her enjoy her success. She tried out all possible experimentation with that.

I felt Rejuvenated, As Paulo says God send Omens through everything around you. How worthy a lesson it could be. We, when in the backslide, we presume it to be a final failure. We forget the other side is gonna be a slant slope! But the kid, neva bothered the slip offs, the fall downs, all it had in mind and eyes is The Crystal Ball and that's Why it is Crowned with Triumph.

The Crystal ball is much like our Goals and Destinations, The more focused we are towards the Ultimate Goal, the hindrances and failure will never bother us.

"What you focus, You attain thee !!"

If you focus problems, you would land up in problems, if you focus on your goals, you'd stamp all the problems and walk to your Goal.

Now, Ain't she the best Teacher I've ever had. She pumped me up will all the energy and enthusiasm.

"Don't pray for lighter burdens, but for stronger backs. !!"
