Love is also like this..

This title might be a little confusing for y’all. But trust me, you will know.

To Love and to nurture Love are two very different things ... When a couple start living with each other under the same roof and are still mad for each other even after their 100s of pronlems, I think that is closer to real love because that's when the two really find a reason to love in every moment. 
So according to me, this is my new tried and tested definition of love... Just read out and enjoy ( do laugh and giggle if you find similarities with this...

Real Love happens...

When he promises to reach home early from work; and comes at 4:15pm instead of 5..
When she asks him for a cup of tea and then says him to make it instead
When he snores non-stop while sleeping and she is awake for the whole night
When he surprisingly brings groceries which were pending from so long
When she agrees to watch his favourite film which she has no idea about
When she wakes up in the middle of the night and kisses his cheeks and tugs him tight
When he buys her the VIP tickets to her favourite artist’s concert
When she keep looking at his expression and tries to find out if the dinner is made properly or not
When she wakes up early to cook his favourite
When he lets her win the UNO game
When he goes all the way from office to bring Amul Buttermilk only because she loves it
When they laugh with each other for no reason
When they binge watch Masterchef because they just love to watch it together
When she farts and he still bears the smell while kissing her
When he makes the best Sunday breakfast for her and she just stand there and watch him cook
When they decide to go out on a long weekend just like that
When she makes bad food just to see the irritated look on his face
When they play board games from morning to evening
When he hugs her tight and say I Love You before leaving for office
When she takes away his blanket while sleeping leaving the poor man cold
When he wears your favourite shirt while going out for meal
When he tries too hard to look for her kind of clothes in an online store
When they fight with each other only to make out post that

LI_E: One alphabet, many meanings

We See What we Want to See!!

Because all perceptions are our choice.. we make one ourselves. It's a simple funda which has a deep meaning.
For example, just look at the half written heading.. I mean just a small word where one simple alphabet is missing. What's the beauty in this is that if we add the letter, the meaning completely changes.
Try this as an exercise.
Complete the word and find out how many meaningful words can you make out of it!
Don't worry, no one will judge you in doing this. But surely once you end up thinking and start googling... you'll be astonished to find many others too. How come I missed that? Of course you are intelligent and smart. But you still missed that one.. isn't it?
I only want to make a psychological sense into this little trivia. What my point is that we tend to pick certain instances and see what we want to see. We tend to lock our mind in one dimension... of course unknowingly. We find words like Life, Like, Line and Live. But many of us will forget some other meaningful words like Lime, Lite, Lice, Lire.
Almost 95% will try to fill words.. and won't even read my question properly. They can also make a meaningful word... Lie! Because I never mentioned how many letter words it should be.
Putting all of this into an observation, we can easily say that we only see what we want to. Reading between the lines or seeing out of the box is not so common in us humans.

It is only when we cease to lock our mind from our caves and start opening up to see beyond the chains can we actually become wise and shine under inner peace. Stop imposing restrictions and traditional ways because life is all about growing up not old.

An Old Me but A New Me

It is too much to embrace life when you get high of it. All of a sudden when you were just living in your worst days, someone just makes you so alive and showers so much happiness that it becomes unbearable. Feels like you are living in a juxtaposing fantasy world which is beyond your imagination. I too fell under such a place. Marriage and coming to USA with my one and only was itself too much to take that I dont want to come out of it at all.
And guess what..., I am not doing anything wrong; I deserve it.
Honestly, if you want something, all you need is to have trust and patience. People will come along in your life showing an alternate route which might look easier. All my life I have ever wanted was the ultimate love of my life and men did knock on my heart; but none could touch my heart (or maybe I was too naive to ignore it.. who knows..). Born in a middle class family, I have always seen my parents protecting each other and loving each other without even saying those three magical words. And now here I am... miles away from home.. with my partner in a completely new avatar (a wife!!! I still get chills while thinking about that transformation.. but there it is..)
I am living the American life and learning the American ways. Also, my Social Media feeds are getting so interesting with the picturesque locations (can’t avoid mentioning that!!). Yet, I am a Desi at heart, making Chapatis, Daal and Sabzi for my Hubba-Hubba!! I still try to be myself by talking to my folks back in India and reminding me of my roots. Trying to find myself in this first world country, I have come a long way. My whole life and routine has taken a 180 degree turn. Of course, the New Me has spoilt the Old Me; but I am happy to take it in full form. Now I realize that change is a part of life which is unavoidable.
Life is short, so you never know what’s next. Until then just stay happy and make your own path. Things will fall in place when it has to be.
