Once upon a time in absolute reality, a very handsome guy in his late twenties approached me at a conference in Malaysia that I was attending as a speaker. He sat next to me and with a strong gaze said sweetly, ‘Ma’am, I am planning a perfect crime and I need your help’. I replied almost choking on my pasta giggling and mustered a, ‘Well, what help?’ He replied with a smoldering intensity which could give competition to Shah Rukh Khan with ‘I want to steal your heart’.
I was on floor laughing and if not anything else I was impressed with his confidence, charm, and the honesty in his eyes. I did not help him in the ‘love crime’ but interestingly, that instance indeed made me believe that someday I would meet my soul mate just like that and also I would, with utmost sincerity from the bottom of my lungs, kidneys and other organs, help him in stealing my heart forever and ever. THAT is the magic of love – that most amusing, charming, and profound feeling that exists in the deepest caves of our heart. It is also the eventual bliss available to us when all your desires can succumb to a point where you crave for simply nothing more in life. The incredible Kamasutra, one of the most profound ancient scriptures on love, reads ‘If a wise human being has to choose between power, fortune, fame and love, he will choose love and only love for an eternal bliss.’
Ancient Wisdom Reads, Modern Life Reeks We are increasingly becoming loveless in our daily life running around like a headless chicken for money, fame, career and other pursuits while we neatly compartmentalize our ‘love life’ in a long forgotten closet that is rarely opened. Life is too short to focus on anything but to LOVE effortlessly. When all the chaos ceases, when all your varied roles have played out, just one role will remain divinely cherished and treasured – that role my friends is the role of a lover.
There is still time, never too late; if you love someone, no matter who and the prevailing circumstances, go and spend time with that person. That time you spend together is probably the one of the very few times when you would actually get to experience the true taste of being human. Forget about everything else, fall in love, and stay there. There is no better FALL than a LOVE FALL. Now, imagine choosing between gazing at your smartphone or your lover’s deep love drunken eyes. Your choice. I really hope the Malaysian heart thief found his partner in crime. And you, yours.
