Many persons of love

Tell me you love me, I demand. An arrogance born with knowledge of superiority.
He shudders his love to me.

Tell me you love me, I moan. The words make the act more respectable somehow.
He answers. I believe in it because I want to.

Tell me you love me, I plead. Don't make me beg you again.
He obliges because he wants it done with.

I've been reading your blog for long. These few lines are among the best you've written. Poor girl. But sadly, that's what happens. Should've stuck on with her first one. But sadly, that never happens. Great work again.

"The words make the act more respectable somehow": Most of the times utterly execrable too :)- Am happy that you are able to make him feel that. Good going!! :)-

Hi Poornima!

Got the mail, but couldn't reply. He happens to be my fiance...and our innumerable fights are in your name. I think you know why.
But somehow, now, I don't feel like reading what you write...not because of any personal feelings I hold for you. I love your language.I love the way you put your things down. I will still stick to my request of a book.
But too much of anything is bad...too much of this "he-she" thing. I know, it holds meaning to you, maybe it does to a lot of others too...I am finding it hard to relate.
I will not stop coming though, maybe you never know, when there is another post like the turtle one, or the sari one, or the granny one...But as of now, this is it.
You can mail him in the mail ID in his blog. It is still working.
Love and best wishes,
Dhanya

I have always wondered at this question. To me its the biggest difference between the man and the woman in a relationship. Why does the woman always need to hear the words? Even if they dont mean anything. And why doesnt the man? Is it because women are insecure and men meandering? I dont know.

Poornima,

There is an adage in Malayalam: "Adhikamaayaal amruthum visham". It pains to see someone of your linguistic calibre straying into chick-lit, which is better left to 'geniuses' like Kaavya Viswanathan. You can do much better than that, don't you think so?

Well, for the time being, I'm off from this place. It was great reading many of your posts and I still have a few of them stored in my hard-disk ('Another shade of Blue' included, which is my personal favorite).

Happy writing!

With the hope that I will see something when I return that will make me regret the decision to stay away,
Signing off,
SnM.

Appreciative: Thank you.

Reverend: It does!

Clash: It need not always be about me, you know!

Dhanya: I am not worth fighting over!

Xoff: I don't know either. But I've known men to be otherwise and women who are too. But the general population stays this way.

Snm: Safe journey.

To All: I've always written stuff I've beleived in. Wanted to. I've felt good about the comments. Felt disappointed about some too. But there is one thing I wouldn't compromise on. What I feel like writing. If it makes you stay, please do. Else, please dont.

not all men love to emote in words, even the ones that do cant do it on request. Sometimes it loses meaning when said unfelt.

Sujit: The post was about one girl and three men in her life- at various stages. One when she was young maybe- confident of her charm and hence in the commanding position. There she knows he loves her. Later, a little insecure she asks for it. To lay rest her fears of right or wrong maybe. And then many later, at a losing end she pleads for love with someone who might be the last one in her life. Suffice to say- women like it heard.

G: That's an aspect I didn't consider!

yep, it was...but then again, it's a movie that'd be perceived differently by different people, and that's how it's supposed to be, i guess ( i remember long time back the director of the movie saying something to that effect)

Anon: I thought I'd made a mess. This is quite reassuring! Whew!

Phatichar: Yeah. Someone once old me it was about the illusion of Lord Krishna! Psst... was it?

2:04 AM  
Blogger phatichar said...

Well, knowing Lord Krishna, it could well have been.. ;). Seriously, it didn't seem like anything to do with mythology, if that's what you meant.. :)

Love is not automatic. It takes conscious practice and awareness, just like playing the piano or golf. However, you have ample opportunities to practice. Everyone you meet can be your practice session but it wouldn't continue for long.

Forestra: That's exactly what the post was about- on how someone ran out of love or even, someone who loves her!

this blog is hers and i think her audience n friends should let her post as much as she wants on he-she matters

y do u give descriptions of the blog sometimes . i think u shud encourage every one to form their own understandings about your not so simple blogs

its like the artist who exhibited a blank canvas , to one of his fans he told that it was a drawing of the cow eating grass
fan: where is the grass ?
artist : the cow ate it
fan : then where is the cow?
artist : the cow left after the grass finished
