Ah summer, what power you have...ever since the weather started getting better I decided that this summer I'm going to make the most of it...be it gardening which is a matter of faith, grounded, on experience that it would bring the right result... taking the kids out to play, swimming or any activities for that matter...have been hardly at home...making the most of it( I mean summertime).....and I'm glad the kids are enjoying it too...just about 5 more weeks left before I head to work....looks like I took a complete 180 degrees turn...therefore June-time of perfect young summer....fulfillment of the promise of earlier months...and that its fresh young beauty will ever fade...air filled with dreamy magical light..landscape lay as if new created in the freshness of childhood...the memories and associations that our flowers gives us are independent of seasons or age though....yet no price is set on the lavish summer...beautiful sunny morning, makes you happy to be alive, doesn't it? I can confidently say that "summer has set in with its usual severity"
Reminds me of William Carlos Williams quote "It is summer, its the solstice, the crowd is cheering, the crowd is laughing in detail permanently, seriously without a thought"....Summer has always been considered to be the most romantic of the four seasons. The clear skies, blazing sun, the gentle summer breeze and the lazy afternoons flavor the season with passion and warm love...
Having said all of the above "Summer, fall, winter, spring, the seasons rotate as each brings its special beauty to this earth of ours. Winter's sow and summer's flowers frozen rivers will flow come spring. There is a renewal of everything" as quoted by Edna Frohock.
Wow! finally managed to get some time to work on my blogs....guess too much work...but at the same time love the idea of multi-tasking...keeps me busy!.....
Just wondering how life takes a turn when you are having an affair and when you get married and have kids....A drastic change takes place...Back in 1997 when I met my husband ( now) then my boyfriend it used to be only us...just me and him and nothing in between....He used to be my center of attraction and I used to be him...We were focal point for each other...Meeting him thrice a week was compulsory but we both used to wait eagerly for weekends.....come weekend and we used to be out for the whole day....watching movie, eating out, shopping, just hanging around in Priya ( Delhites.... are quite familiar with this place) used to be our favorite pastime. What a feeling! Its the best thing that one could ever experience...falling in love and in love with the person you always wanted...and if its love at first sight...half of your job is done....and that's what happened to me...Yes! it was Love at First sight....Felt like we knew each other for the longest time just like a sailor would know the open sea....We were growing together...We were mad about each other...didn't care about the world....we became rebels at that time and nothing could stop us.....at that time it was like "Take away love and our earth is tomb" as rightly quoted by Robert Browning.....
But sooner or later we had to enter into the institution of marriage and we did but since then life has never been the same....all those pampering and nurturing were all gone....lost all freedom....Family mattered most, I mean in-laws, relations etc. That's why in our religion people say that when a girl gets married she just not gets married to the boy but to the whole family. At one point I almost felt like me and my husband were stretched enough to make spaces for all these third parties to fit in....But I am glad we made the right move at that time according to situations....And after having kids one becomes all the more busy....taking care of them, raising them, thinking about their betterment,one tends to think about their kid's future, education, career plans and all these then takes the front seat.....all these and many more and then we fail to strike a balance between all the areas of life....
Huge difference between now and then! Its a Paradigm Shift....Yet to conclude I would say "Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other" by Euripides
