single woman on planet earth


to every woman i know

Did you see this picture of a "single woman" on Mars recently? Alone amongst rocks in a surrounding that looks like a desert. And still seems to be having a good time!!


I met this woman today.
All of 35 years. Sparkling. Smart. And best she says “single”.

She looked very happy and herself.

She was celebrating her divorce-ary.

Divorce-ary! Well that’s a new word in a woman’s dictionary these days.

With marriage vows going sour as fast as you pronounced them and ‘all over’ on issues like…….well you didn’t know how to squeeze the tooth-paste from the tube, it isn’t a grave matter anymore.

So is she the woman dumped by her husband, the abandoned wife? Huh? Just blessed enough to be left alone to her SELF. That’s the way my friend described herself. Single Woman- In control of her destiny.

Gone are those days when a single woman was seen as lonely, distraught, miserable. Fussy, Frustrated, Finished.

Today she is into a new avatar of a smarter, savvier and sexier icon. ALONE, not lonely is the keyword. And FREE.

Sometimes calling it quits is not only the last resort but the healthiest. More creative. More Beautiful.

Being imprisoned in a love-less, hate-more relationships sucks all the sap from your life. Why not thank the man who you loved once so dearly for all the beautiful moments you shared and move away with gratitude.

Dragging through dark tunnels of false commitments can be so heart-breaking at times that they can drain you of all the positive emotions. What does one do with reluctant smiles, cold silences and unsaid withdrawals?When love has been dead a long time, there's no point in living in nostalgia.What's more precious? Memories? Or the moment?
Masks can be very painful because they are not you. They are only what-might-have-been if everything was right. Why hanker, why cling, why not realize that you’ve reached a plateau.

Life’s paths do not always go straight, they are more often entwined like the trees in a forest.

So move on.

Love is beautiful but when its gone, its gone.

Life moves. Every moment. In all its freshness. In all its beauty.

jodha akbar - a true love story

Thirteen years back I had seen Allahabad Fort built by Emperor Akbar in 1583 A.D which stands erect even today except in those places probably the zenana which are very near to Yamuna where it has sunken in. This is the area which Akbar had designed especially for his wife Jodha. The windows of the side where this rajput princess often stayed face Yamuna, a river worshipped especially by people who worship Krishna. The architecture was in such a way that that the river used to flow inside the fort touching the walls of her palace so that she did not have to go out but could bathe right in the river staying in her palace named as Jodhabai Palace. When I saw it for the first time I was very young then… my mind full of romances waiting to be lived…it had brought a smile to my face… I thought that’s the way it is between every man and woman on this earth. Life teaches otherwise. To fall in love is easy…to be in love for a lifetime is more often a dream. It was a thinking out of box when A...

amrita - imroz a gospel of love

This is me and that is you and in the chasm is the dream wrote a woman once of her relationship with the man she loved and lived with. Some love stories reverberate like hymns in this universe. Love is a spiritual force in itself since it is a part of the inner world. In terms of events it happens between two people in a particular time and space but its fragrance spreads across time and space both. Amrita-imroz A love Story is a contemporary love legend which Penguin India brought to the world. It is best described not as a story of a woman or a man but a biography of a love story penned by Uma Trilok who was fortunate enough to spend some precious moments with the lovers just before Amrita left her body on October 31, 2005 at the age of 86. Being a Reiki and Pranik healer, the writer formed close ties with Amrita and Imroz and what came out is a book which is so soothing that it takes you to yourself. Love is a word which carries a halo around itself when used as a word. Ironically ...

age is beautiful

Youth is beautiful. And so is age. Dear Woman. I see women distraught over a few wrinkles, painfully hiding a few streaks of grey hair. Dyeing hair into a desirable color, making the belly taut, lifting the breasts and the face are smart ways of looking younger...it isn't wrong at all...but desperately clinging to what's passing can create much misery and carried on too far should raise a few questions : what is the motive - fooling others? And the next- am I fooling myself? I sometimes wonder who has given these foolish guidelines to beauty . Some maniac who who got up in the morning and dreamed that there shall be no noon and no sun-set?And found no beauty in the mellowness and the ripening. The crazy mind. Is the grey hair not beautiful? And what's wrong with a few wrinkles? Aging beautifully and gracefully is all about acceptance and not fighting against the wisdom of Nature. Physical degeneration is a natural proce ss which comes over the years and brings along with ...
