Today's the Love quote from my iGoogle page - 

"I love being married. It's so great to find one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life." Rita Rudner

"Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists. When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence." - Goncourt

Divine Accident

Found this quote in my today’s iGoogle page:

 

"The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident."

- Sir Hugh Walpoe

... from Sidney Sheldon's autobiography..


When your English has an accent, it means you know one more language!

Love and Distance

My travel got postponed by another weekend and so, iGoogle's Love-Quote gadget consoled me like this:
"A part of you has grown in me.
And so you see,
it's you and me together forever;
and never apart,
maybe in distance,
but never in heart."

Waiting for next weekend.... May be then I will be in a flight flying towards you...! :)

Trust and Love

"If you deceive someone, you lose one of life's greatest treasures, you lose the capacity to trust. Because without trust, love is not possible" -Osho

Living Happily Ever After?

"I wanted a perfect ending.
Now I've
learned,
the hard way,
that some poems don't rhyme,
and some stories
don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end.

Life is about not knowing,
having to change,
taking the moment
and
making the best of it,
without knowing what's going to happen next.

Delicious ambiguity."

- Gilda Radner, 1946-1989

Anguish!

Every composer knows the anguish and despair occasioned by forgetting ideas which one had no time to write down. - Hector Berlioz

Love, the timeless music!

"You know
when you listen to music
playing from another room?
And you're singing along
because it's a tune that you really love?
When a door closes
or a train passes by
so you can't hear the music anymore,
but you sing along anyway...
then,
no matter how much time passes,
when you hear the music again,
you're still in the exact same time with it.
That's what love is like."
-Anonymous

Quoting Thatha...

In Thatha's own words:
"Appa Satrigal ponna irundhu... Kuppa satrigal maatuponna irundhu... 'Lavanam' na enna nu theriyaadhaa? nu solli... Yerumai Shaani ya konduvandhu vechchaalaam!!"

Translated to Telugu:
"Appa Satrigal kuthuruga undhi... Kuppa satrigal Kodaluga undi.. 'Lavanam' ante enti ani naaku theliyadhaa? ani cheppi... Gedha peda thechchi pettindhanta!!"

Translation in English (my best try!):
"Being the daughter of Appa priest and daughter-in-law of Kuppa priest, how will I not know what 'Lavanam' means?, said she and brought buffalo dung"

By the way, Lavanam is a Sanskrit word taht means "Salt"!!! :-)

Wish I had known this earlier!

Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead. - Benjamin Franklin

Comprehension

Gentle whispers… Sweet nothings…
Cuddling… Snuggling… Nuzzling…
Cozy Talks… Soothing murmurings…
Tinkling laughs… Contented Sighs…
Playful pranks… Naughty teasers…
Mischievous Flirting… Declarations of love…
Friendly admonitions… Sincere Praisings…
Unrestricted by time…
Unhampered by distance…
Unhindered by the entire world…

Does this bring a glow onto my face?
Does this spread a mysterious smile onto my lips?
Does this add an extra bounce to my gait?
Does this add chirpiness to my tone?
Does this envelope me with warmth
And give me a sense of security?

No!
Not at all!
But why?
Because all these were never meant for me
They belong to another soul…
To another being who is all the more different from me…

No one can replace that soul…
Not even me!

What is love?

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it?

It makes you so vulnerable.

It opens your chest and it opens up your heart

and it means that

someone can get inside you and mess you up.

You build up all these defenses,

you build up a whole suit of armor,

so that nothing can hurt you,

then one stupid person,

no different from any other stupid person,

wanders into your stupid life...

You give them a piece of you.

They didn't ask for it.

They did something dumb one day,

like smile at you,

and then your life isn't your own anymore.

Love takes hostages.

It gets inside you.

It eats you out

and leaves you crying in the darkness,

so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends'

turns into a glass splinter

working its way into your heart.

It hurts.

Not just in the imagination.

Not just in the mind.

It's a soul-hurt,

a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.

I hate love"

-Neil Gaiman

Feelings!

My present feelings can be aptly described by the following quote:
There is no greater impotence in all the world like knowing you are right and that the wave of the world is wrong, yet the wave crashes upon you. - Norman Mailer

Quoting John le Carre

Coming home from very lonely places, all of us go a little mad:
whether
from great personal success,
or just an all-night drive,
we are the sole
survivors of a world
no one else has ever seen.
- John le Carre
