My name

My name takes a new meaning when you take it. The syllables sound so refined, the consonants so profound.
“What is there in a name?” I often thought but you breathe life to it.

Like a sing song,
Like the secret song of the wild bees,
Like the sacred song of devotees,
Like the burps of an innocent child,
Like the sighs of a lover,

Now, there is nothing that I wish to hear other than you calling my name.

ummm, I've been updating my blog pretty regularly, I thought atleast..

Infact, I just started adding pictures that I've been taking to the mix plus the first chapter of the book I've started writing.

Ah okay, now I get it.
You didn't see my blog link in my profile anymore?


That got removed when I was playing around with the settings on blogspot and didn't realize that removing my blog from the blogspot listings also removed it from my profile!

A friend just pointed that out to me today :|

if you fall in love.
all the blog posts about longing and full of melancholy will give way to mush and hope.

that is definitely a oh no!!! moment.

but OTOH you might actually be happy, hmmm.

Akash, I have been reading this blog for quite sometime too. And I think she writes more about celebrating life inspite of everything.

"longing and full of melancholy"

You don't want her, or anyone else, or yourself for that matter to stay like that forever. Do you?

Arunima said...

@ Anonymous: I guess Akash loves reading my sadder side but you seemed to have ignored this part in his comment, "but OTOH you might actually be happy, hmmm." :-)

@Dreamcatcher: :-)

Not at all. Just my observation her happy posts are about others ( be it people, eggs and what not )
her posts about herself are the ones I really read. For me she is an enigma and more of an inspiration. Although I have maintained different blogs for over 2 years I just don't have the courage to write about my inner most thoughts. But thats me

Arunima: I have to say that I wish you all the happiness that you can handle from this world. You too anonymous.

Arunima said...

@ akash: :-) I won't forget your birthday.
