"Dhoondu ise jaha bhi, hota nahi waha,
Dastak yeh de gaya lo, socha nahi jaha"
(When I am looking for it, I find it not,
Where I have no hopes for it, it seeks me but".) (*)
Romance - The world often forgets your beauty. Your depth. Your deft touches. And your enigmatic charm. But I do not.
What are you? Why can I not find words to define you? What is it about you?
I have felt you. A number of times. In a number of different ways. Whenever I look back to those times, I feel illuminated. There seems to be heaven all around. And it does not matter how long it lasts.
My friend defined Romance for me when I asked her what is this deep feeling that makes me want to - keep waiting for someone till the time is right, keep away from someone if it is for his good, keep my feelings for him silent for the sake of his feelings for someone else ?
She said - "the most intensely romantic thing in the world is when circumstances, nature, a certain person and your own state of mind hatch the perfect conspiracy to create a moment that though fleeting leaves such an imprint that you remember it vividly years after it has passed."

I thought about it. She was right. We seek romance throughout all our living moments but what about those moments when we have felt it and moved on to the next moment without acknowledging it? I find it hard to explain myself here. I think of using words of the great masters of art. I think of penning metaphors of my own. But in the end, I can only give in to the greatness of that one master of masters - Life. Nature.
