Most people propagate that we should love others, be compassionate towards others, be kind to others etc. Religious books, parents, gurus, teachers, self-prophesied gyanis and the likes of them always preach love others. But then why doesn't anyone say that we should also love ourselves. We should in fact be completely in love with ourselves because if we don't do that then how can we ever love anyone else...
It's raining, the weather is absolutely wonderful and I feel blissful...I am loving myself totally...
I am enjoying myself...my solitude and I am completely at peace with myself...
For a change I am not bothered about writing in correct English or trying to think the right kind of expressive words or worry about my vocabulary.
I just feel happy and loved....I wish I could give myself a hug...a tight hug. ;)

The majestic flight
The majestic flight of birds is a sight to watch. A flock of pigeons fly together in a circle and do present a magnificent site. They look as synchronized as professional dance troupe would look while performing. While handling the rigors of life we usually ignore the bounties that nature has bestowed on us. There are too many pigeons around my house and every morning I see them perched on a rooftop or enjoying a short flight. However, they always return as they have marked their territories that they call home.
As a child I remember, there used to be a pigeon that lived on our windowsill. One day a cat came and killed the pigeon's offspring and there was spurt of blood all over the window. We thought the pigeon will leave and go and search for a new home, however, we were surprised when she returned and again made her new nest at the very same place that the cat had destroyed.
Will the cynics say the pigeon was foolish or brave?

You matter
Who is you? According to world English Dictionary you is a pronoun and 'refers to the person addressed or to more than one person including the person or persons addressed but not including the speaker.'
According to dictionary.com, the two most common and popular searches include I love you and I hate you...
Two sentences that create turmoil in each and every individual's life. However, in reality how many times does one think of the you and not of the I. Even in these two sentences the stress is more on the 'I' than on the 'YOU'. 'I hate' and 'I love', without giving a thought to what the other person many feel or want.
Anyways coming back to 'you'. Technically the word refers to a person, however, even god can be you. One always addresses god as you especially when one is busy praying or rather asking for tons of favors. You did not do this or you are heartless or lost all faith in you....You becomes the all powerful word when it comes to blaming, accusing or belittling someone else. However, once the favors or wishes come true, one goes back to saying God you are great, God you are wonderful...
Accuse you at the same time praise you...depending on the situation or circumstance existing at that particular moment....
But seldom any one takes out the time to say you matter...When addressing to god the only sentence one should say is you matter, you are everything...instead pleading, begging or getting angry is what most resort to.
The same is the case with human relationships irrespective of whatever form it is in. You seems to appear completely insignificant...Whether it is between a parent and a child, between spouses, friends or family relatives. You matter or you count or it is about you are hardly ever thought about. You doesn't count at all...If only you was given as much prominence as 'I', life would have been less complicated...

Nothing at all
I have lost the willingness to write. There are times when your mind goes blank and that's how I feel today. I don't feel the need to say something. I just noticed in these three sentences I have mention I at least five times. Wow, that shows my obsession with myself. Can I write a blog which does not have a single I. No I and no Me and no Mine and no We!!!
