As soon as you hear word Soulmate, many of you are immediately reminded of your spouses/ love partners. This is what I believe is the most common misconception many hold regarding "Soulmate"
A spouse / love partner CAN be a soulmate, but not HAS to be a soulmate. Gender, Physical proximity, Age are some irrelavant factors for a soulmate. The soul mate concept within western society is about as misunderstood as a concept can be - a true soul mate can be a friend, loved one, family member or even someone you dislike but learned from.
Nothing has produced more unhappiness than the concept of the soul mate.
Explaining the concept of Soulmate in words is futile. But, generalising the Soulmate as spouse/ love partner makes it evident how misunderstood the word is.
And, the other day. having conversation with my elder sis ( @laavnya ) I agreed to her, saying, there can be a number of soulmates in long walk of life. The need, the thirst of soul as quenched by one, makes that one our soulmate for that time.
We know them and have that sense of knowing when we meet them because it is all prearranged - destiny whatever label you want to put on it. However Soul mates are our greatest teachers, our greatest joy and the greatest lessons we must overcome in our lives. We are with them to survive, choose better, seek joy and learning and ultimately grow and move forward in our lives.
Speakin more on Soulmate would just make it verbose, The bottom line is: "Soulmate : a concept mostly misunderstood"
Never will she know,
The fear with which that friend request was sent.
Never will I, be able to show,
The extent, to which , for her, I was bent!!
Was it her smile, or grace?
The grace that made me fall,
Was I on earth, or in space?
The space that made me feel above all!!
The day my request did get confirm,
I was on the seventh cloud,
To describe, I can't find an apt word, or exact term!
But, yeah, I felt like screaming, screaming aloud!!
Now, I did read her full profile,
I did read her each post
Did analyse each letter on her profile,
Did decode each of her weird post!!
There I made a vicious discovery,
Boom!!! She already belonged to somebody,
I was perplexed, of what was I supposed to worry!!
The event that followed, or of my vicious discovery!!
We became virtual friends and, not a day was passed,
And hark! She was mysteriously lost, absent on my friend list!!
It was a feeling of being raped, I felt brutally harassed,
Being UNFRIENDED, was my tale's quick end, my tale's only twist!!
Do you doodle? May be you have memories of sitting in class at school, covering your notebook with random drawings or squiggles, only half listening to teacher. Or how about now? In a meeting, or waiting at the doctor or dentist's office, or while talking on the phone lots of us reach for a piece of paper or anything at hand and start to idly scribble or make designs. May be its boredom, or just a built-in need to keep our hands busy. But actually, doodling can be very useful exercises."
The famous children's author and illustrator Maurice Sendak has said , " It's my way of stirring up my imagination to see what I find in my head, I call the results dream pictures, fantasy sketches, and even brain- sharpening exercises."
When we doodle, we are tapping into our subconscious mind. We are in a relaxed state , like a light trance, And what we draw then has a message for us, about our state of mind, an expressions of our feelings, or a possible solution to a problem. The good news is you can take charge of your doodling and use it for your own purpose. It can help jump-start your creativity, like it does for Maurice Sendak.
Or you can use it to help you solve a problem. Take a moment to think of the situation, and then let it to go. Take some long, slow deep breaths, and let your arm and hand move across the page at will. Stare out a window if you like, for distraction. After you have "doodle," look at what you have drawn. What does it look like to you? Let your mind wander and see what you come up with.
Doodling is also a great stress- reliever. You can release a lot of negative feeling or pent-up energy, just through the power of your hand moving a pen over a page.
The day was hectic still idle. Hectic as couldn't find anything worthy or intresting enough to do today. But, idle in a way as I had got nothing to do today!!
I hate such days, but love them in a way too. As hatred to such days is because they leave you lazy and make you feel uncomfortable, and love in a way because they award you an excuse to yourself for having done nothing!!
I dunno if I am right, but I am not wrong! I dunno if I am right as loving such days would make me addicted to such days and that would eventually mean , nothin done, each day, I meet such day!! But, I know I am not wrong in a way that I meet such days unintentionally, such days are not constructed by me, in fact they are self constructed and inevitable so how can one be wrong if he meets something inevitable and eventually something inevitable happens.
Oh finally what do I see, this peculiar genre of day has gifted me this article, which I could post here that too after a very long gap.
It proves; treasure and pleasure all are hidden, you just need to take effort and dig and hunt for them and moreover realise them once you find them or meet them!!
Day is just bout to end, and so does this article!
