I am Rose, a symbol of romance,friendship, happiness and harmony.A glimpse of mine is sometimes enough to stir soft feelings in any distressed soul.My glossy petals can do the magic and bring smile to their lips ,and also many a times tears in those dark eyes arousing the lost memories of past.This is my story in first person and let me tell you something more about myself.I reside at page no. 39 in his diary,and have grown old,a year old,my complexion has darkened with time and I am no longer that glowing red,petals look separated and stem broken.I look dry and devoid of any feelings.Things have changed since I have been here.
But I still have in my memory those young days of my life when I was filled with romanticism and enthusiasm.Like everyone else I dreamt of being "dedicated as message of love to her and she accepting me with a lovely smile".There was sunshine everywhere and we enjoyed the lovely breeze of spring.
Nobody knowing where they will land up,just there was a hope of romance in everybody's life.Isn't this idea of hope has resemblance with your life !!!
when we are young,life looks like a dream and dream a reality,everything seems possible and reachable.But gradually reality comes into play and time reshapes our dream, sometimes in a beautiful way and most of the times just opposite.
Same happened with all of us. many of us took the shape of useless garland,some got stuck to Dulha's car,few dared to reach in girl's hand but thrown away, some outrightly rejected ,chosen ones took the shape of bouquet AND only lucky ones could achieve their DREAM.
But where was I?
I was there itself, in his hand ,hidden from her,asking him to gather strength,to show his hand lightly in air and at least say "This I brought for you".But he could not,may be that was not the right moment or may be he was a fool to keep me with himself.
Time has moved on and life is walking its path knowing not much about its destiny but just a little hope,I have lost my shine and fragrance but not the essence.
He still looks at me with same hope.................
AND utters with a sigh..."Aal izz welll".
The hope is always an illusion...this one i hope shall not remain...the journey would wait for a new update....
ReplyDeleteA nice riposte reply to Dada's blog. In terms of writing, I must say you have formulated a lot.
ReplyDeleteThis piece of work was pretty much philosophical in nature and full marks for it. Cheers...!!!
One small change... Change the word "romantism" to correct form of Noun "romanticism".
Thnx mitra for correction.
ReplyDeleteSanjeev: Hope is an illusion before its realization.Thereafter it gets the stamp of truth.I understand that I am being emotional but at the same time you are trying to be strictly pragmatic.
"hazaaron khwahishein aisi ki har khwahish pe dum nikale...bahut nikale mere armaan lekin phir bhi kam nikale...."
ReplyDeleteus laal chamakte gulaab mein kya hai rakha jise parvaah nahi kisiki.....dum to us sukhe gulaab mein hai jo hamaare armaan dabaaye hue hai.....

ReplyDelete"Thoughts and Experiences" and "Elusive Self" have shared the thoughts and experiences of their elusive self with the hitherto unenlightened world around them... Your perspective is whimsical and practical at the same time, bringing together nuances of the thought and unthought, despair and hope, threading the past, present and future seamlessly as it were....
