Soulmate- True or Just an Illusion ?
“True love is finding your soulmate in your best friend” Faye Hall
It’s a 3.9 minute read.
I am giving you Seven theories regarding the topic ‘SOULMATE’.
Which one as per you is more accurate and near to truth and a fact indeed ? Or you feel it’s unrealistic and falsehood and just bogus and even fraud committed on the gulliable!!
Please guide me. I am as confused as anybody else.
1.Soulmate does not exist.It’s for professional POETS,who love to exaggerate the existence of Soulmate in their poetic style,laced with honey traces.
2.Soulmate exists.Yes.But only in ones dreams ! It’s impossible in this world to have a mirror image personality (100% ),scientifically !
3.Soulmates do exist because of synchronisation of the individual’s flaws.
“I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.” ―Lisa Kleypas
Source-thoughtcatalog.com
4.The following theory stresses the point that age is immaterial in soulmate relationship.
“A soulmate is not necessarily a lover or your life partner. A soulmate can be anyone in your life who has a great positive influence on you. Every single person that we deem to be “significant” truly is exactly that, for their vibrational essence is blending with ours and together we are creating a unique energy. It is believed that the soul radiates all about the physical body, what some refer to as an aura. When you connect with another person spiritually and become completely open and trusting with that individual, your two souls begin to flow together. Should such a deep bond to be formed, it is said you have found your soulmate. We are all joined in an ancient and eternal union with humanity that cut across all barriers of time, convention, philosophy and definition. When you are blessed with a soulmate, you have arrived at that most sacred place: home. This is a place so sacred that you open up completely to your soulmate. A soulmate can be a guru, a parent, a friend or your lover”
credits Kurian’s Soul-mate
5. “Someday,someone will walk into your life and make you realize,why it never worked out with any one else” Anonymous
The above quote gives, one some confidence,but One is not sure how long to wait,say 1 year,10 years,30 years,50 years or till death. Waiting for the soulmate
6.Twin Flames
Twin flames is defined as the mirror image of each other .
It is said twin flames have one soul divided into two bodies.
Some say, twin flames description is exclusively limited to romantic relationship unlike soul mates.
Even they go to the extent of telling that Twin flames have physical,mental, spiritual and emotional connections.
“People who are meant to be together will always find their way back to each other.They might take detours in life,but they are never lost.” Christina Silverio
7. Finally you have another theory which stresses that you just sit where you belong and your soulmate reaches you at the time,when you are ready.
And in this situation one is not sure what time one is said to be ready !
You are not supposed to go out and find Love.Love will find you when you are ready. Suzy Kassem
So my friends ,what are your thoughts on this subject ?
Can you enlighten me ?

Love is not complicated, people are
These days…relationship means… Any where without you is better than any where with you
How individual lives are changing ,relationships are thrown into the dust bin,people forgetting the meaning and value & sacredness of ‘LOVE’,
Thanks to addiction to social media & smart phones !
Relationships are harder now!
“Conversations became texting,
Arguments became phone calls,
Feelings became subliminal messages,
Sex became easy,
The word ‘love’ is used out of context.,
Insecurities became a way of thinking,
Getting jealous became a habit,
Trust is hard to come by,
Being hurt became natural.
Leaving became the only option,
Sad but true,
So if you have something…that is worth it,..don’t take it for granted,
Fight for it,don’t let it go” pinterest
Summary –
Be selfish,thanks to the inventions. indulge in your likings,Drink till you drop dead,fight without any reason,Ego is your life,jealousy is your partner, Greedy is your nature,Killing innocents is your taste,care not anybody,you owe the happiness you deserve,forget about dieting & exercises which are all money-making machines,,cheating is your mantra,money is everything and enjoy dying your own death,you owe nothing to anybody!
Is this the lesson modern-day life style teaching us ? Is this the meaning of advancement in human life ? Is this what all about relationships ?
And what about ethics,values,respect,responsibilities ,family relationship ?
Please share your thoughts.

Friendship vs Love…which triumps ?
It’s 2.2 minute read
“Sometimes,in life there really are bonds formed that can never be broken.
Sometimes you really can find that one person who will stand by you no matter what.
May be you will find it in a spouse and celebrate it with your dream wedding.
But there’s also the chance that the person you can count on for a life time, the person who knows you sometimes better than you know yourself, is the same person who’s been standing beside you all along”. Bride wars
Let us see who triumphs at the end.
LOVE
L is the 12 th letter of alphabets
O is the 15 th letter of alphabets
V is the 22 nd letter of alphabets
E is the 05 th letter of alphabets
Total of Love is = 54.
FRIENDSHIP
F is the 06 th letter of alphabets
R is the 18 th letter of alphabets
I is the 09 th letter of alphabets
E is the 05 th letter of alphabets
N is the 14 th letter of alphabets
D is the 04 th letter of alphabets
S is the 19 th letter of alphabets
H is the 08 th letter of alphabets
I is the 09 th letter of alphabets
P is the 16 th letter of alphabets
Total of Friendship is = 108
Exactly twice of 54
So the FRIENDSHIP is twice the value of LOVE.
Do you agree ??
Now time for some fun

Universe…dreams of !

It’s said Women with Hourglass Figure and perfect waists are most attractive !
But then most ladies are not that fortunate. why ?

As I was watching this lamp glowing in one corner of the room,I realised that
there is some attraction in the lights and shadows generated by the Lamp.
Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties. Jules Renard
The shadow from the lamp was such that it was resembling an Hour-glass, and
interestingly ,the appearance of the Hour-glass can be appreciated both horizontally
& vertically with one difference , one being white shaded and the other dark shaded.
Have you experienced any such thing before?

Love the unlovely.
There is no greatness in you if you show your love only to the lovely .
Let your love be uniform, both to the lovely & unlovely.
Let love overlook other’s faults and shortcomings, always believe the best about them,and never lose hope for them.

In pursuit of money
“Money often costs too much “ Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Man sacrifices his health in order to make Money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present,
The result being that he does not live in the present,or the future.
He lives as if he is never going to die,
And then dies having never really lived!.
The Dalai Lama.
” It’s good to have and the things that money can buy,but it’s good too,to check up once
in a while and make sure that you haven’t lost the things that money can’t buy”
George Lorimer .
As the saying goes …..” Best things in Life are free ”
But we never care to have a look at these things ….. and go on carving for more and more money,losing the true happiness ( True happiness can not be explained or described,can only be felt )
Then the question comes ….what are the things that money can’t buy ?
There are many things,but I can tell some important ones,what I could think.
Love,truth,time,peace of mind,talent,health,manners,true friends,knowledge,family unity,personal contentment,happiness,integrity,respect,ethics and lastly spiritual enlightenment, nature’s beauty……

Stressed? Think of Romantic Friendship !
There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement and acceptance.” John Lennon
This is a 2.7 minute read.Please proceed if you can spare this much time.
Before I start the discussion,it’s better we know the definition of ‘Romantic Friendship’.
According to ‘Wikipedia’
“A romantic friendship, passionate friendship, or affectionate friendship is a very close but typically non-sexual relationship between friends,often involving a degree of physical closeness beyond that which is common in the contemporary Western Societies. It may include for example holding hands,cuddling,hugging,kissing,giving massages, and sharing a bed, or co-sleeping, without sexual intercourse or other physical sexual expression”
Yourdictionary.com says
“An intensely emotional love relationship between two unrelated people, in which sexuality is unimportant and typically absent, but there is greater physical affection or poetic communication than is typical for friendship”
Can we include online Friendship ( since we are into the digital revolution with social media,online-video/chat,making new online friends etc ) into the above definitions ? I am not sure.
How nice it’s when the truly understanding relationship takes a vow, as said below !
“The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach more,that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds.And that’s what you’ve given me.That’s what I’d hoped to give you forever” Nicholas Sparks
But then….all are not fortunate and there has to be a kind of ‘vibe’ or as some one brilliantly coined the term ‘ Familiar vibe’, or Mutual ‘resonance’ between the partners or friends or relationships.Plato’s quote is apt.
“Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.” Plato.
True friends really make a big influence on their individual lives in times of stress.
And What did John Lennon Say about friendship and its impact on Life and how this true friendship keeps you smiling ?
“Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears”.
A recent study published in the journal Psychophysiology suggests that simply imagining love & support from your significant other can boost your stress management skills.Check this link.

Hardest thing in this world is……
I know you are tempted to say ‘Diamond’ !
True to some extent.Diamonds symbolize Status,Love,strength( hardness), beauty and Prosperity.
It’s also interesting to know why 60 th wedding anniversary is called ‘Diamond Anniversary’ ?.It’s because of longevity of the couple’s relationship both in times of happiness and difficulties and the marriage surviving this long of 60 yrs without break up in relationship, a toughest job indeed in the modern day philosophy of ‘divorce’ at the drop of a hat.
Do you want to know which is tougher than Diamond ?
“True Love and Loyal Friends are two of the toughest things to find.” Unknown
Whichever part of the world you are in ,remember,never underestimate the power of true love and loyal friends.
Be a true lover & don’t lose loyal friends.

Can relationship be without deception 100 % ?
How are you celebrating the Valentine’s day,this time ?
Valentine’s day is the day,when all over the world,LOVE is celebrated.
It’s celebrated on 14 th February of every year.
Just think for a second.Are we true to the spirit of Valentine’s day ?
Is it necessary to wait for this day to express love ?
Instead we can show this love in every day of our life.
Don’t you think true love is the one,which is beyond conditions ?
True love should be forever supportive.
Love should be constant both in times of happiness and sorrow.
Of late, we have become busy in showing off love ,instead of taking solemn pledge of Love !
And on the Valentine’s day,funnily we exaggerate our Love !
To show love you must buy something and this is where industries are making a kill on this day,defeating the very purpose of Valentina day.
I guess we are over rating the day !
Money, money,money,it’s so funny !
My take, Love never fails,instead people fail on love.
“Love never dies a natural death.It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source.It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals.It dies if illness and wounds,It dies of weariness,of witherings,or tarnishings.” Anais Nin

Global warming of different kind
Don’t hesitate to spread the warmth whatever may be your situation !
“Warm weather fosters growth.Cold weather destroys it.Thus a man with an unsympathetic temperament has scanty joy:But a man with a warm and friendly heart is overflowing with blessings,and his beneficence will extend to posterity.” Hung Tzu-Ch’Eng
“Even more important than the warmth and affection we receive,is the warmth and affection we give,It is by giving warmth and affection,by having a genuine sense of concern for others,in other words through compassion,that we gain the conditions for genuine happiness.More important than being loved,therefore is to love.” Dalai Lama
Finally
“A woman at 20 is like ice, at 30 she is warm and at 40 she is hot.” Gina Lollobrigida

Though life is fair to us,always we feel we are missing something and we are unhappy most of the times.
Less said better especially about love.

Love is scarce- Really ?
The only thing we never get enough of is love; and the only thing we
never give enough of is love.
― Henry Miller
Why this happens ?
We all think that, Love means romance.But it is not so.
There are 7 types of love.
- Storge- Familial love
- Phila-friendship ( shared goodwill)
- Eros-Sexual or passionate love
- Agape-Universal love ( unconditional love)
- Ludus-Playful or uncommitted love
- Pragma- Long term love ( married people)
- Philautia-self love ( healthy or unhealthy)
( source Psychologytoday.com, Quora)
My discussion is limited to the married couple.
Think for a second.
Can you tell the difference between ‘school and life‘ ?
” In school you are taught a lesson and then given a test.
In life,you are given a test,that teaches you the lesson” Tom Bodett
So what I am trying to tell is Life gives an opportunity to learn lessons from our experience, in this situation….. day to day problems faced by the couple,thus making them more accommodating,understanding and helpful to each other.
Thus we can become wiser by experiencing these experiences.
But here is the hitch.
The problem comes in the unknown form of ‘E G O ‘ nullifying all the benefits of life’s lessons,which we learn over the course of time.
Why can’t we make an attempt to look into this ? Why can not we prevent this disease before it strikes us ?
When we are able to manage life style diseases with sugar-free,fat-free,salt free,gluten-free etc. etc….why can’t we give a try for Ego- free ?
The only way to achieve peace and harmony is becoming ‘EGO LESS’,
and this should be the ultimate outcome of your life’s lessons,if you
are willing to learn.
Another aspect is ,to be able to differentiate, the difference between love & Possession.Don’t think ,just because you love the person…you got right to possess the person.( as if the person is a property)
Remember love is selfless,coming from the bottom of the heart with total dedication,sincerity and commitment to lead a supportive life together.
And so…..
We make our life miserable because we never make an attempt to understand the full potential of true love,and thus we make ‘love’ scarce in spite of its abundance.
True Love gives you, the real experience of what all you dream and
Ego gives you, all the heartache.
“A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love”. – Max Muller
Real test of ‘Love’
If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they are yours, if they don’t they never were. ‘ Richard Bach’
You wanna know… who you’re to me ?
One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.
Khalil Gibran
Never waste your time trying to explain who you are to people who are committed to misunderstanding you
Dream Hampton
Love pain-how strong you are ?
The most beautiful line is ” But I love you ” The most painful line is “I love you ,but..”
“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.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Kindly Ones

Does Love mean suffering ? What is your definition of Love ?
“The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.”
―
What is that all the religions, teach us about L O V E?
As per Bob Morley’s Wisdom, Everybody is going to hurt you.
I think he is correct because we expect too much from the ones ,we love ( a bit selfish attitude ,I say ) and in turn feel hurt if they are not up to our expectation. (again a selfish motive)
“To love is to suffer.
To avoid suffering one must not love.
But then one suffers from not loving.
Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer.
To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy.
Therefore, to be happy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.” — Woody Allen
Are you confused ? Is too much happiness also a suffering ?
I know you don’t have an answer.Neither I have !
But my guess is…. don’t love too much or too little,and at the same time don’t not expect anything in return.Don’t presume or assume.
Is this not strange that the very word ‘L O V E’ makes some of us
experience ‘Heaven’ and some other ‘Hell’
How can L O V E have dual power…. ie adorable & destructive ?
What is your take ? Please share your thoughts .Have you ever suffered because of LOVE?

Writing on the ‘note’
When there is Love,there is Life.
One minute read
“Don’t be afraid to express love to those who you love. Because
sometimes loving is not enough. We have to express it.”
Anurag Prakash Ray.
What a ‘Silent’ way to express ones love !
As seen in the above photographs, the persons have expressed their love in a silent way by writing on the currency notes.
Looks like they wanted entire country to know the intensity of their love since the currency gets circulated throughout the country.
It is a distasteful & Disgusting practice being practiced over the generations.
Not many are aware that it is punishable under the law ( Reserve Bank of India guidelines)
The scribbles on the notes range from names or phone numbers to love letters to ‘praise the lord’ to drawings.
Some these drawings are offensive and mostly one comes across ‘Love expressions’
It looks like this practice is seen only in Indian Subcontinent countries.I don’t know how this dirty habit evolved…….
How you classify this behavior?
You call this Childish/strange/fanatic/disgusting/lovely/uncultured/dirty…. etc. etc.
Please feel free to express your opinion,thoughts…
I’m Sorry though I’m not at fault…
Do you say sorry when it is not your fault ?
I believe forgiveness is the best form of love in any relationship. It takes a strong person to say they’re sorry and an even stronger person to forgive.
