Love Languages

Image
I wish I could write a solid piece of article on the current trending topic - LLMs! Instead I'm one letter short and here to talk more about LLs 😁 Gary Chapman, an American author and talk show host is credited and best known for his concept of the five love languages that humans use to express and receive love. They are:  Words of affirmation Quality time Gifts Acts of service Physical touch While it is established that people use all of these languages to some degree, a person will primarily speak one of these love languages. We all have different ways of expressing our love and have specific ways in how we want to be loved.  Perhaps this is one of the most profound concepts that can explain why relationships fall apart without placing blame on either of the parties involved. Sometimes, we fail to understand how to love the person we already love so that they also know it and then sometimes, there's a conflict/ trade-off involved where despite wanting to love someone the wa...

To build a home

There's this beautiful song called "To build a home" by The Cinematic Orchestra. Each time I hear it, there's some strange melancholy that it induces in me. I sometimes tear up while listening to it and sometimes my heart's beats match the beats of the song. My love for this song might also come from the fact that it's used in a couple of my favourite movies and shows and played at some pivotal scenes that had an impact on me. to build a home - audio link "And I built a home for you, for me,  until it disappeared  from me, from you Now it's time to leave and turn to dust" What does it mean to build a home for someone? What will it be made of? Stone, wooden floors, love, care...? Where will it reside? In the world that you can see through your eyes or in a world you see only within? What will be the colour of its walls? A clean coat of plain white or textured strokes of passionate hues? Will it have windows or just walls? Will it have a welcome ma...

My Kind Lady

Kindness - The most essential quality the world is in need of today. It is kindness which allows you to empathize with someone, sympathize with few others and most importantly makes you love and as the saying goes " Make love not war" !! (well I may have replaced the word 'peace' with 'love' here:P) Now who really inspired me to write this post is my mother who is kindness personified. So below are few things that I have observed and learnt from her. 1) Keep a bird feeder in your garden. To have a home and a small beautiful garden in front of it where lots of birds come chirping is a very simple and lovely dream everyone can harbour. Keeping a bird feeder filled with grains ensures that the birds, squirrels, ants, cats have a guaranteed meal and also makes them keep visiting you and the chirps can surely uplift your mood if you are feeling low. 2) Offer water to street vendors. You often hear them patrolling the streets trying to market their produ...

The Coffee Cup on the table

Image
There it lay, the coffee cup on the table. Hours before brimming with the froth of excitement, now left with a residue of melancholy. It was witness to a conversation filled with love,filled with anxiety,filled with innocent insecurities but now had nobody around to share it with. It was once very warm but now ice-cold ,its warmth fading away as the day got older. As it lay there on the table,it was just a cup now ,unnoticed after the coffee consumed .

Unusual musings ...

Image
                                              The sun rays fell on her glistening body as she lay tucked warm under her light floral printed blanket . She opened her eyes slowly to view strands of her own hair slightly blocking her vision and lightly swaying to the ceiling fan's passionate air . She rolled over to the other side even as her blanket tightened the grip around her and en-wrapped her . A moth which had entered the room chose to sit on her chiseled ankle . She left it fluttering as she touched it with her right toe . She continued the movement  as she slowly drew an invisible straight line on her smooth leg with the same toe ,upwards almost till her knee ... which ,in its own way was sensuous .... She said 'Morning' to herself in that slightly broken but irresistibly tempting and attractive voice which could turn on anybody  . ...

20 tiny love stories :)

Image
As I was loitering in the internet world, I happened to come across this post written by a certain Mr. Marc who had collected several stories that were submitted by visitors and subscribers to one of the websites he managed. Here I am just presenting to you 20 of them which actually managed to put a smile on my face :) #1.  Today, I walked up to the door of my office (I’m a florist) at 7 AM to find a uniformed Army soldier standing out front waiting. He was on his way to the airport to go to Afghanistan for a year. He said, “I usually bring home a bouquet of flowers for my wife every Friday and I don’t want to let her down when I’m away.” He then placed an order for 52 Friday afternoon deliveries of flowers to his wife’s office and asked me to schedule one for each week until he returns. I gave him a 50% discount because it made my day to see something so sweet.  #2.  Today, I told my 18 year old grandson that nobody asked me to prom when I was in h...

" I Do " ....

Image
Her wrinkled hand kept patting his hand and in another she held a wedding photograph of theirs  and she smiled her dimpled smile ,the same smile which had made him fall for her and on one secret night out in their college days he had held her close to him and whispered to her  " to see you smile i live ,seeing the same smile i wish to die"... Recalling those words she turned her gaze to see him lying on the hospital bed ,his eyes still closed ,his fragile body cruelly injected at several places ,many more digital square bodies with waveforms she couldn't make sense of claimed to give reports on whether he was dead or alive or how fast his heart was beating ,whereas she knew it in her mind that only she could understand his hearts' beats,only she could decipher it .... It was the first day of her college and visibly she was one of the 'prettiest thing' around already !! Her silky dark brown hairs flowing in curls ,those large expressive eyes ,her dimples  al...
