Love, Peace & Harmony

“Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart, and the senses!” – Lao Tzu

The above statement could not have been put any more subtly as it has been put for Love, I believe, is the only emotion that seems to surpass and supersede all boundaries and limitations known to mankind.  This is one emotion that will render you physically, mentally, and emotionally handicapped if it fails and boost you to the highest levels of these three spheres if it is successful.  One might question how it is that one who has fallen out of love is ‘heartbroken’ so to speak or one that is in love is on “cloud nine!”  Well these are nothing to directly do with the heart but a chemical reaction in the body that evokes something of a psychosomatic reaction. Having said that the power of love can never be discounted or looked down upon.  A few endearing words, loving looks, sweet nothings, or just a gesture of love can diffuse and transform many a tough scenarios or situations into normalcy.  Where there is love, there seems to dwell a sense of peace and harmony.  The positivism that love can bring to the environment is unfathomable for nobody has been able to quantify the effect of the same in pure science or mathematical terms.  Love can never be easily put into words and it’s the bard or a writer who seems to have strung words such as pearls into a necklace called poetry many a times or into a story of love that evokes emotions in human beings and many a times animals alike.  As the saying by Aristotle goes, “Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies!”  Love of that kind might or might not exist today but when and where it does it brings upon a peace and happiness of a celestial kind that is expressible only by the persons who experience it and never the naysayers.  As Richard Bach so aptly put, “True love stories never have endings!” This is a belief that I strongly am with and so I have decided to be in love…….with life which gives me a chance to be Unfinished until I am really finished!  To give you thoughts to ponder upon, here’s something on Love & Peace!

Where there is love, there is harmony they say
There’s also heartbreak the naysayers would say
They know not the strength of this emotion itself
For they have never thought beyond themselves.

Fear not in love for love has the power to conquer
Everything it encounters for it can help you endure
It spreads a blanket of peace in each nook and corner
Of your heart, mind, body & soul and the world over.

Spite not the person who may fall out of love with you
Maybe it was that they were never meant to be for you
Let them go and forgive yourself for that’ll relieve you
Of the bitterness and hate that might harbor within you.

Spread your love and warmth to brighten everyone’s lives
Be like the dewdrop you see in the morn on green leaves
Aspire to be a seagull and yearn to fly high up in the skies
Where you will be one with the Universe and also the seas.

I leave all of you with a thought to ponder upon that I had read some time ago written by Julia Roberts……”You know it’s love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you’re not part of their happiness.”  So how about wishing love & peace for the person you love and the ones you do not too!!

                   Vo itr-daan sa lahja mere buzurgon ka,                     Rachi-basi hui Urdu zabaan ki Khushboo!”                     – Bashir Badr Art is an expression of the heart, literature is an expression of the mind, and poetry is a combination of heart, mind, body & soul! A picture, drawing, photograph or illustration is a by-product of the expression of what the eyes see and the mind perceives; prose in any form is the expression of your heart and mind; however, poetry is not only the by-product and the confluence of your heart, mind, body, and soul, but it also has the innate ability to perceive that which can be experienced by the five senses, but most importantly, it has the ability to give expression to that which cannot be seen or expressed for the silence in between the words have the capacity to speak volumes for the seeker of truth. This is my understanding of poetry and that is how I see it, feel it, read it and write it and Urdu poetry does all this to me. U

Of Chances & Choices by Kay S

"In chasing Money & Fame, we lose Time.... In making up for Time, we lose important Relationships, In losing Relationships, we lose strength, peace of Mind & Trust, In losing Strength, Trust, and Peace of Mind, we lose our Health In losing our Health, we lose everything we have & end up Lonely!" - Kay S  As I passed through life in installments, sometimes happily, sometimes melancholically, at times brave and at times frail and afraid, I learnt some very important lessons on the important pivots that define Life, the essence of it, and the lack of the same. During my sojourn, I was exposed to a lot of learning and readings by established poets, writers, philosophers and scholars.  One of things I happened to read that impacted me a few years ago was a couplet in Urdu that read, " Masroof rehne ki aadat kaheen tumhe tanha na kardein, Rishte ehmiyat ke mautaaj hote hain fursat ke nahin!"  which translates to, "Let not the habit of staying busy end up

Review of "The Blooming Orchard-Ek Sunehra Bageecha" by Kay S

The Blooming Orchard-Ek Sunehra Bageecha A Forum Three Production directed by Ranjon Ghoshal     Life has always been about living, achieving, usurping, hoarding and all the vices for most of us in the oh-so! materialistic world.   Most of us fail to even acknowledge the fact that today is a fact and tomorrow is only an opinion, for each one of us can only go to sleep with the hope that we shall wake up tomorrow to a better world or a better day.   Having said this, a bit of introspection on how we live, what we do, and the effect we have on people and the world around us, I believe, can make us better human beings in the long run.   I read somewhere and have quoted it many a times that “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time,” a quote by Thomas Merton, which summarizes the kind of impact theatre and all forms of fine art can have in our lives. As I have mentioned in a previous blog of mine regarding my rendezvous of art & theatre, it bega
