Xerox Copy

Universal truth opposites attracts

But what is that eventually distracts

When two are sailing together in motion

Differences in thoughts leads to commotion

Your partner is a completely different person

You acknowledged it with love & compassion

Slowly dissimilar things were not merrier

You no longer enjoy distinctiveness in your carrier

Shedding dissimilarities is now unimaginable

You have chosen an individual with full potential 

Now you think making your clone was much easier

Than asking your partner to change with calmer

Don’t look for your Xerox copy forever

You have the original and best partner

Apprize the dissimilarity in between you two

Love and understanding only solutions to glue

This poem essays the need people feel to see the change in their partner as they wish, which is quite impossible. One should respect the individuality and love the person as he/she is like. I would say life would be great with dissimilarities and "If there is no contradictions, no thrill in life".

मेरी जीवन संगिनी : पुस्तक - My Life Companion : Books

Books are person's best companion, yes even before their soulmate. The magic when you hold the book is so great that you forget the entire world and immerse in the book. This Hindi poetry expresses same feelings for the books in human life.

वह जो अपने होने का एहसास दिलाती ,

दूर जाने पर भी याद रहती ,

ऐसी एक मेरी साथी ,

बताओ क्या है वह कहलाती। 

अगर मिले पुरस्कार में ,

तो  भरदे खुशियाँ जीवन में ,

ऐसे कई राज़ खोलती ,

और मुझे कई बातें बतलाती । 

What is best Marriage Advice?

Recently I attended sister's wedding, had lots of enjoyment and I simply like all the hullabaloo of the marriage rituals and functions; many memories were flashing in mind of my wedding too. Bride is always treated with special care & attention and there is a special piece of suggestion not from one or two but from everyone. 

It always amuses me to see how a newlywed is unnecessarily showered with a lot of advices from all sorts of people on how to be friendly with everyone in new home, how one should deal with situations in life together and many people to my surprise start telling their own bad experience cases. C’mon a person cannot learn everything about marriage in a single suggestion. Unless it’s coming as suggestions it’s digestible but few of them start warning the newlywed. I could sense the discomfort and anxiety in my sister and just said two words “Be Yourself”; and I think she understood in my gesture what my words meant.

The way different people have different perspectives for life and how they deal with different scenarios and make the life get going, makes the difference. There is no special technique or some predefined formula exists or will ever exist for a happy married life. It all depends on how we adapt ourselves into the new life and ease out things.

To me, wedding is bond which amalgamates two persons with glue called love, respect, trust, friendship, faith and understanding. “Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years.”-Simone Signoret. Each couple is a unique and the way each one makes the life get going is different. But what I believe is every relationship is unique and their way of dealing the challenges and the way they together face the situations are unique too.



Marriage has no predefined formula, each couple is unique
