How Would You Like To Be Wooed?

Yeah yeah...accept it or not, we all love to be wooed in the most romantic and craziest of ways...wine, dine, candle lights, music et al! Being wooed by your sweetheart in the mushiest way possible is perhaps every woman's dream. So what's your take on this? How would you like to be proposed? For me, it's all about going down on knees, chocolates, music, good food and laugh to share. Seeing eye to eye and a smile which connects to the soul are the prerequisites. There's no perfect situation...any situation can be perfect when you're with your sweetheart!

Here's something for all you romantics...

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,

or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

------- Pablo Neruda

Phenomenal Woman

Here's a lovely poem "Phenomenal Woman" by Maya Angelou dedicated to me and my womanhood!

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Do Soulmates Exist?

We are all familiar with the term "soul mate", but the question is--Is there anything called soulmates? Do soulmates exist in reality?

Let us first see what exactly are soulmates. The term commonly refers to those people who deeply understand and feel for each other. Often when there is a free and natural affinity of pure love, friendship, intimacy and compatibility between a man and a woman, they are known as soulmates. It is quite mysterious at times...somewhat inexplicable when one feels a deep connection with one's soul. It is a spiritual connection. You feel as if you are drawn to that "special someone" by some magical string and experience strong, ethereal feelinngs for him or her.

Have you ever tried to delve deep within to find out why this happens? Why is it that suddenly you harbor deep feelings for someone special? What is it which makes us feel that we know someone for ages? Remember that unforgettable dialogue from the most romantic movie of all times DDLJ? "Ek undekha unjana chehra...." So it happens many a times that we have a picture of someone in our deepest thoughts and one fine day, that face comes in front of us...we happen to meet that person in reality! What happens then? Well...you get the hint from God! The highest intuitive power automatically lets you know and then there's no turning back! This is what is known as soulmates...one soul...living and feeling for each other...but residing in two bodies. There is a mystical connotation to the term "soulmate"...which finds completion when these people meet. A common belief is--soulmates will obviously meet and come together, breaking all barriers and overcoming all obstacles. If one half does not meet the other, it would be forever search for them! They have to search for the other and most compatible half to complete them.

I feel some souls are made for each other. They just need to meet...rest would follow. I have strong belief in soulmates and believe in compatibilities. This beautiful poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning sums it all...

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

How Do You Feel when You Are In Love?

The million dollar question is---How does one feel when he/she is in love?


Love brings with it ecstasy, exuberance, and a freshness, that was hitherto unknown to us! The feeling of being in love is something indescribable...which cannot, perhaps, be penned down in words. We feel as if we are in seventh heaven! Everything seems rosy, irrespective of the condition you are living in! The world seems a better place to live in. Life seems a forever symphony of lilting tunes.

I feel, love is that wonderful feeling which brings a whiff of fresh air in our otherwise monotonous life and surrounding. I love the word "love" itself, the idea of being in love, and the paraphernalia that it brings along. There's a subtle sweetness about being in love with someone special; a longing for someone who you identify with, and the harmony that you share with this person. There's magic in the air! We have a prolonged sunny mood, much unlike our occasional mood swings:) Love gets us going and makes us do all the wackiest of things:) Do you all agree?

You know when you have found your prince because you not only have a smile on your face but in your heart as well. ~Author Unknown

What's your idea about love? How do you feel when in love?
