Gobsmacked…

Since a few months now I wanted to watch ‘If Only’. I don’t know why. Nobody recommended the movie to me; neither did I ever watch its promos. Never have I heard anybody mention it, and neither do I know if it did well or not, whether it was acclaimed or not.

But now I know why I wanted to watch it. I simply had to. I’m still in a daze, after having seen it. It’s The Perfect Story. And it’s Alive. Saying that it touched me will be an understatement. Saying that it’s the Best movie I’ve ever seen doesn’t seem to do Justice to it either. It’s more than a movie really. I have no words. I’m gobsmacked.

Music of the Soul(mate)...

So… I find my soul mate at last, only to discover that he died 144 years ago… sad huh? Well that little fact won’t stop us from being soul mates!! :)

His name’s Henry David Thoreau… a familiar name to all, I daresay...

I read his quotes extensively only recently and that is when I realized that in some previous birth, we were definitely together… :)

Just check out the stuff my sweetheart’s written.....!

‘The cost of a thing is the amount of what I call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run’
(A simple fact really, but one we often overlook)

‘As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler’
(Akin to my ‘Complex by default, Simple by Choice'... but so much better!)

‘In human intercourse the tragedy begins, not when there is misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood’
(nothing's as true as that)

‘Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence’
(umm.. that is more or less what I keep trying to say na… :)

‘It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see’
(Just when you needed something deeper than ‘glass half full’)

‘The heart is forever inexperienced’
(Thank Heaven for small mercies... I’d rather it be that way)

'I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestioned ability of a man to elevate his life by Conscious Endeavor'
(Exactly…!)

'If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away'
(That's So Comforting… :)

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the Life you've imagined!'
(Here’s hoping we all do!)

And this one’s my all time favourite (quite predictably!)

'There is no remedy for Love but to Love more’

Ahh… he’s put that so well, it sounds like music! :)

Drifting Dreams...

I love this picture… took it myself… :)

I don’t understand much about photography, neither am I an enthusiast, unless when it comes to appreciating pictures...

I only click what I feel is too precious to lose and enjoy the feeling that for one tiny moment, I’ve captured Time… :)

I call this one ‘Drifting’. Took it before sunrise. I can really relate to the clouds here. It seems as if they, like me, are on their way to another World, not sure what it holds, but wanting to explore it nonetheless… :)

Wondering why I was up before sunrise?

Well you would be too, if nightmares woke you up all the time and made you too scared to go to sleep again… God Forbid, though... wouldn’t wish that on anybody... it’s the worst thing, having recurring, terrible nightmares... makes you dread the night, fear the evenings… leaves you feeling threatened and vulnerable… :(

Don’t sympathize as yet, though... it’s not always that bad... especially once you get used to it. And then sometimes, I do sleep well. In fact I remember three nights when I had blissful, amazing, dreamless sleep.

But that’s another story, of another time… or perhaps, another dream? :)
