Heart Rules.....!!!

My recent fascination has been with reading palmistry. Well, it isn’t a full blown, in depth knowledge of palmistry, which might help or rather predict the future. Instead, it tells us about one’s qualities, or characters based on the structure of the hands, and the placement, length, depth of the lines creasing your palm.

As far as it goes, believe it or not, it has some resemblance to the reality. I don’t say that it’s perfect, but surely is quite close to reality. One thing that I noted that might be of interest, that two contradicting qualities might be present. As in, one feature might say, that the person is an extrovert, while other feature might say that the person is an introvert, basically, both features co-exist. Does that mean that the concept is bogus? I don’t think so. I think people aren’t BLACK or WHITE, they aren’t good or bad. They are shades of grey, the goodness and the badness is just comparative. It’s for people to choose which shade of grey they prefer, the lighter or the darker!

The hand mostly dwells on matter such as, life, heart, and head and how they influence each other in each other’s presence. This brings me to something. Many a times I’ve experienced a thing, which many people might have, we get confused when we have to take a decision between the head and the heart. Technically speaking, the heart just pumps blood, and brain does all the thinking part, still, there are some things that quite don’t resonate with your brain, but resonate with your heart. Some part of the brain sends some hormones, or signals to the heart, or whatever biochemistry takes place in there, it makes the heart want something else from the brain. To make it simple, however clichéd it may sound, let’s just say, most of the times it gets difficult to choose between the heart and the brain.

Some prefer to listen to the brain, and some prefer to go with the heart. But, that doesn’t distract me, everybody’s different, and they choose what they want. But, it really saddens me, when people say that those who listen to the heart are weak! They think, that they are weak, that they can’t control their feelings, heir heart. Well, I think it’s the exact opposite case. I feel, those who take decisions more with the heart are stronger, because they are ready to take the risk! They don’t mind plunging into something, even though the calculations tell them that it’s going to be difficult, even though they know that they might be hurt in the process, even though the possible outcome may not keep them happy. Whereas, the head-counterparts, I believe are weak. They calculate, they ponder, they fear the consequences, and they prefer the safer way out.

Obviously, there has to be some limit when it comes to taking decisions by the heart, when it’s concerned with moral issues, and what’s right and what’s wrong. I was just talking about those little decisions of your life! Do what your heart loves to do! Keep it happy! HEART RULES.....

HAPPY MONSOONS!

Finally, after all the wait, June came in as it should always have been, perfectly normal, with a light drizzle on the first, and a nice shower on the second day of the month!

Well, it wasn’t romantic or wonderful for me when it started raining. In fact, all the windows were closed, I’d just finished watching a movie, and was surfing channels mindlessly, and was waiting for sleep to overpower me. As I was doing that, I heard some noise. I thought my brother is up and as he’s opened the door of this room and it’s the A\C that’s making the noise. I became a bit apprehensive, as I know he would scold me for not watching anything in particular at that time of the night, (the rule is, watch a good movie or sleep). So I waited for him to say something not turning behind to see those sleepy eyes watching at me with disappointment, that’s when I heard a rumble! Then I realized that it’s something different, I look up to see his room which was closed, and I realized, that it’s the sound of the rain, not A\C and the cloud just thundered, causing the rumble.

That’s when I lost control, I just ran up, and out into the balcony, those blissful drops! That’s when some sense knocked onto me, I closed the window of my room, my brother’s, turned off the television, the lights, and all ready, to get wet in the first shower. Technically it’s the second, but as the first was just a drizzle, that can’t be considered as a ‘shower’

So, there I was out under the sky wide open, the rain pouring, wind blowing, and flashes of lightening which made the city visible for just a flash of a second! My heart screamed out, and the voice came out of my throat, I screamed, not waking anyone up! That’s what I love about showers, when you scream; it’s you who get to listen to it more than anybody else. As it was past-midnight it was an added advantage. I danced, in the rain, sang on the top of my voice, it was energizing, as if my soul had been thirsty for this, since a long time, and the thirst finally got quenched!

Then the intensity reduced, and after some time, very softly, the rain stopped. I went over to my room, sat near the window, looking out, as far as I could see! The wind was still blowing, and every blow just felt cooler! My memories took me to last year’s monsoon. Last year, in the first shower, Neha had joined me; we had such a great time! Then, came to me was the day I’d been to Worli sea-face. Everything came back, that rain; that wind, those walks, those waves, and finally, the hot-hot Domino’s Pizza while dripping wet and ruining the floor of their outlet. :D

That’s the specialty of monsoon, you can enjoy it all alone, with a friend, with a bunch of friends, family, and also with “that” someone special. I’ve always been a romantic, and the climate was perfect to think about it! As I sat there, I wondered, how wonderful it would be, to stand there at the sea-face and holding the hand, of the one you love most. Imagine, your hand being held by the one who loves you the most. Imagine he’s holding your hand, not because he knows it’ll make you feel good, but because, he fears, the rain might take you away and needs to hold onto you! Someone’s who’s holding your hand, not fearing even if he has to hold your hand for a lifetime, not thinking whether this hand, the feel of it really fits into his ‘perfect’ or not. Someone who just feels safe holding your hand, who feels as if he’s on the top of the world, not because, he’s holding the most beautiful, the most wonderful, the most wanted person. But no-one else was ever so beautiful or wonderful for him. Everyone is going to meet such a person in some point of their life. That doesn’t stop us from enjoying the rain. As I said, we can enjoy rain with anyone, everyone, or no-one.

Enjoy monsoon to the fullest, have some fun, if you don’t like getting wet, enjoy things related to it, like, hot tea, coffee, pakoras, music and everything. Let’s hope this year’s monsoon is not as dry as last year. HAPPY MONSOONS!
