Together

I guess people would look at together as a relationship between two people but then they would tend to get stuck at that very two people. i think when together is felt, the relationship comes out between any two people with respect to one. this broadens the horizons of the term we so casually term as together... "being together", hand in hand but its essence is lost when we coin it to two particular people. of course its also the word that brings out a smile to every face as that very thought takes us to that special someone whoever he or she might be out there.

at the same time, together speaks about commitment from one person to another. somehow we take this term in such an unruffled manner, that we loose the charm in the whole idea of a commitment and being together. ironical isn't it that what we want the most which brings us total and utter satisfaction and happiness in life is the very thing we take for granted and dont pay two hoots about it.

Simple Pleasures

Its always good to get the simple pleasures out of things that really fascinate you. For me, watching a helium balloon go up in the sky and vanish before my eyes, eating a gola ganda from dhoragi, sitting by the beach observing people and hearing the calm sea, chatting, movies, dancing, hanging out with friends over a hooka are all small pleasures that we derive everyday. We all look for energies to replenish our days in some way or another whether it be actively or passively. Someone plays the guitar, someone flips thru magazines to find inspirations, some read, some watch passive television, flying a kite, sitting on roof top watching stars, talking endlessly with friends or cared ones, taking out time to find out about another person, entering competitions, taking part in dramas or plays, sports.... something or another. Yet at the same time we indulge in materialistic things as somehow we perceive that our indulgence in them will bring us satisfaction whereas the truth is that we feel the best when someone else passes a genuine smile. I wonder. Are we looking for simple pleasures in life or are we really caught up in this materialistic environment where we do things for the sake of doing things or rather we go out on the road for a careless drive and just drive and drive and driveeeeeeeeeee..... in search of the simple pleasures in life.
