The Valentine List...

This is a list of my favourite lines that are doing the rounds this year for V-day...


1. True love cannot be found where it does not truly exist; nor can it be hidden where it does.


2. When you are in love you can't fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams.


3. When we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness, and call it love - true love


4. I kissed my first girl and smoked my first cigarette on the same day. I haven't had time for tobacco since.


5. If I had a flower for every time I thought of you...I could walk through my garden forever.


6. Language is for non-lovers, those who are not in love. For lovers, silence is enough language. Without saying anything, they go on speaking.


7. What a grand thing, to be loved! What a grander thing still, to love!


8. When a woman comes into your life, things organize themselves.


9. True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked.


10. Do you love me because I am beautiful, or am I beautiful because you love me?


11. To watch you sleep peacefully, I could stay awake forever.


12. Love is like pi - natural, irrational, and very important.


13. Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.


14. Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.


15. I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.

Musings of a late Friday nite @ ofc

As I sit here in ofc late on a Friday nite, counting down the minutes and seconds till when I will be home with my loved ones…a random tawt enters my mind. If I wasn’t compelled to earn a living, what would I rather be doing right now? I would home with my husband enjoying the winter over a silly movie and hot snacks…but I’m here in this absurdly cold ofc waiting for my official logout time…

I remember going through Sandy M’s foto albums and thinking how his talent is largely unrecognized by those who ‘appraise’ him. I watch Soumi dance with such fun and passion that I wonder what it would be like to watch her on one of those dance shows on TV....Unnu's cooking, Bish's sports mania…and many more such unexplored treasures of talent lie amidst us…sadly gathering the dust of time as we plow through our daily routines…

I know this is a tad senti and will probably be a hilarious read on Monday morning….but just for a moment, pause and think…if you could do what you loved instead of what your job demands, what would you want to be doing?
