Love - A dangerous game.

By Sonia Shrestha
She watched him go, hand in hand with a pretty maiden; she saw his figure slowly fade away until it merged with the shadows of every other object present there. She watched helplessly as the hope of ever uniting with him got weaker with every step he took. She wanted to stop him, wanted to embrace him...She had hundreds of things to talk about, but all that came out was silence – unbearable and fearsome silence. 

The fear consumed her, making it impossible for the words to escape. She forgot about the ‘twenty seconds of insane bravery’ she had read about, it was no longer her companion. She could not gather enough courage, she had to let go, there was no other way. Her emotions found an outlet in the form of salty drops of water that stained her rosy cheeks.


And, that is when she realized Love was a dangerous game...

Forever?

I have ceased to believe in the idea/concept of "forever". While I have my own personal reasons for this, my belief in the nonexistence of this idea is not personally prejudiced. I have pondered on the use of the term "forever" seriously; the term means existing beyond human existence, but how is that even acutely possible? Every matter on this blob is transient, how can we attribute permanence to any situation/feeling in such a scenario? In the past, I am ashamed to say, I have been using this term quite frequently in my everyday conversations without giving it a second thought. I always felt that by saying "forever" , I was simply strengthening the power of the phrases being used. "I love you for e ver" "I am going to stick by your side for ever" "We are going to be together, for ever." Can you imagine how hollow these words look? How long is "forever"? Can you precisely tell me the number of years that make

 IS THIS WHAT HAS BECOME OF LOVE? Published on Elephant Journal  Extract from the article: (To read the entire article, click here .) "...“I love you” became the morning coffee and “I miss you” became the warm, fuzzy feelings of winter nights under the blanket. It felt like a vast ocean, where you want to take a dive and get lost in the depths. It was like the rainforest of Amazon. Yes, his eyes felt like the Amazon—deep and full of dangers. Still, I decided to venture and take my share of risk. It was wonderful. The jungle was vast, with mysterious places and creepy creatures lurking in the most unlikely places—the kind of mystery I loved. The days went by, and my love for his intricacies only increased. I was so deeply amazed that I did not foresee the danger I was jumping into. Is this What has become of Love? It all looked otherworldly—like out of my favorite novel. But, as is known, fiction cannot become reality, and novels cannot come to life. I s
