Swaying In The Lap Of Eternal Love !

*******************************************

With a smile he has shown the Kumkum(vermilion) dot on his forehead , ...which he maintained till now to show her !She jumped from the sofa .and wiped that love mark from his face ! Anandi , but that feel' is still there , you can't wipe it ...try again .and try to wipe it ,I bet if you can?!

May be in my sleep it must be ...she fumbled for words and he said If it was printed in sleep then it will be on this side , not on the forehead dear ... since morning when i noticed it I was thinking , how your face could have glowed ,how beautiful your expressions might have been at that time ...accept your theft' ...With rounded lips and fake anger " I am not a thief ...I touched my husband that's all'...'OH ...kissing is a mere touching to you? !Well..well , love to have your touch again and again please' .. he said showing his romantic side to her .

She went in to the kitchen and opened the backyard door .Maid came in and did the cleaning and asked Anandi if she required any help from her ,Anandi said no' and she went away! Meanwhile Shiv told her about his plan . ..they were going to see the Farm house of Vinod on the banks of river Yamuna .From there they will go to Agra to visit Taj ! She got ready and they started by 9 am and went straight to Vinod's farmhouse .It was an hour's drive from Defence colony . The back yard gate was opening directly on to the river bank ! Many floral farms and Mango trees and veg gardens were there! A tranquil swathe of earth, where carpets of green fields melt in to the eyes ...she was swept in by that floral displays of nature ...a slice of paradise, which rejuvenated them right to the core !

Just like a child she was running from one place to the other with happiness ! Touching the flowers and as if saying hello... to the Spring itself ,he was watching her jumping and running with awe! In her zest she went nearer to the well there and looked in to it ,heard a loud bark of dogs nearer to her . She was scared and with a big wail called out for Shiv ,he heard her wail and came running there and she clutched him like a creeper ,closed her eyes with fear . Meanwhile the gardener came running there and comforted them that the three dogs were tied tightly and no need to be scared . She relaxed then and left Shiv with a shy smile. .Again she started taking a stroll in that garden .

See Shiv , in Jaitser mango trees are in flowering state ...but here already lemon sized mangoes ...she tried to pluck some but that branch is a little bit high .Shiv lifted her up and she plucked some and While bringing her down he stopped her midway and they only knew what he did ,the small birds chirped as if teasing their intimate romantic moments .The Dahlia , Carnations ,chrysanthemum .. a wide spread of floral gardens around .

In her overtures towards love she was completely lost in herself. .She is slowly opening up to the new vistas in her life ... he is there to support her, to leave a great impact on her love life now ..., ready to share with her, the happiness of life!

Anandi I am hungry as hell ...let us go to the Country Club nearby and let us have something solid !

It is time to bloom for the midday flowers ...they went in to the eatery and had good lunch there , Then came back to the farmhouse , entered on to the Yamuna Bank from the backside gate ...started taking a stroll in that afternoon, walking under the shades of big trees . Winter has not yet said good bye , summer is yet to enter ...a pleasant season for lovers , a teasing time for romantic hearts! . They sat under the Sirisha' [ Inga Saman] tree and started talking about the previous day's incident .-----

Anandi ...sorry for yesterday's happenings . I know ...you were not happy for that ! Normally I won't eat non-veg and very rarely consume alcohol ...but yesterday, they arranged a party for me and I have to follow some norms'' in an apologetic way he explained her.

Anandi looked down and was immersed in her thoughts and then slowly she looked at him with a hesitant smile ..'.it is all new to me Shiv ...I am not from city , a novice to modernity , some apprehensions will be there ...am trying to change according to your requirements , and I know ..you prefer to change yourself for my liking and you are doing it since long, but I must know your style of living , being educated in London ,born and brought up in an affluent family ...your life style will be different , I respect your views and now I respect you more because you are giving more weightage to my words and opinions ! Yesterday night ...I was afraid , what you will do , but after seeing you and now hearing your words ...let me clarify one thing . I respect your way of living and I know that you always give due importance to my views . This mutual respect and understanding will sustain throughout our life' .

In an assertive manner she declared her understanding of his life style. The small ripples in the river were listening her words with attention. His adoration for her doubled with her words At around 3 o'clock they freshened up in the farmhouse and the gardener's wife prepared tea with fresh lemon grass for them with fresh cow milk, which they relished a lot! Soon they started off for Agra in their silver grey Mercedes car and entered on to the Yamuna Expressway and zoomed their way to reach Agra within 2 hours !

After climbing up the upper step of that ordinary looking entrance Anandi was struck by a splendid spectacle and caught hold of Shiv's hand ...stood there stunned !... She thought ...the main entrance was just like a veil on a woman's face that should be lifted delicately, gently and without haste on the wedding night ,as per the Indian tradition, so as to reveal the beauty of the Bride to her Groom!!!

She said ' Shiv see that great art ...an art for love...what Rabindranath Tagore calls "a tear drop on the cheek of time".!!!

'Anandi it is not just a piece of architecture, but the proud passions of an emperor's love wrought in living stones." -- Again he said...It is a celebration of an emperor's love, till eternity, for the woman he loved most... I think that's the way to appreciate !!

Anandi with a smile said..." Yes, it is a symbol of an eternal love"

The Taj looks differently from different angles and at different times of the day... in itself is a symbolic resemblance to view a beautiful woman... Like you' --- Shiv said!!

Like me? How ?coyly asked Anandi... rotating her big beautiful eyes with raised eyebrows!

The Taj is pinkish in the morning, milky white in the evening and golden when the moon shines. These changes, they say, depict the different moods of a woman Anandiji !!...said Shiv, smiling!

Hmn...it seems you are doing a doctorate on woman's moods Collector Saab !!

They walked along the pathway beside the reflecting pool with fountains up to the mausoleum crafted in soft & pure marble and adorned with semi precious stones, where, in the serenity of paradise the Queen rests in peace with her King !

Well groomed gardens enhancing the poise of the whole complex together add magnificence to the delicacy of this monument of love, dedication and purity! They entered in to the left side garden and sat there on the cement bench !

From that side Anandi was seeing the magnificence of the Taj and thinking ..

I never believed the word "Love" was such a powerful word from the look of it, but its powerful I have to believe it . I know because I've loved and lost, strangely there is a beautiful and yet ugly side of love!
What a feeling it is ,what a sense of belonging ...what an impact love will put on our lives !
To fully understand love, we have to give ourselves whole heartedly to someone, it is the real love. When you are in a relationship that is what you do, you give yourself to that person your all ! You let that person in on something, something no other soul on earth knows about "You", your soul itself !

Love will make something beautiful into a work of art, it will make a rainy day beautiful and , day with warmth, and love will somehow make the world an enchanting place ! When reciprocated, love makes you feel all the happiness in this world , love fills you up when you are lonely ...love gives you the real meaning of life ...it makes masterpieces in this world! Like this replica of a king's love !! While thinking about love and longing for it ...then , when we get it ,how beautiful life will be ?!! Anandi was thoroughly enjoying the warmth of love in the company of Shiv and all the while was watching a lady at a distance sitting on an elevated platform, probably deeply engrossed in thoughts...

That young lady was lost in her own world... sat there ..immersed in deep thoughts ...

''why I loved him ...why I thought that love is the only best thing in life ...is it infatuation ...or took it as a challenge and faked love just to defeat everybody ,especially my enemies with that weapon? ...is it my illusion ...being in love means owning it ...not sharing it ...what is my mistake ...I wanted him for myself, wanted him to come up in life ...flourish like a successful man , a dependable husband ...but what he did , deceived me , rejected me , dejected me , left me there without any explanation, not even one word , no exit note ...why ..why this happened to me , to me now love means deceiving , love means losing identity in this world ...love handed over a horrible life to me...

Then why people are saying that love creates wonders in this world ?!' Watching the monument of love she was engulfed with melancholy and was lost in her sad thoughts... Sorrowful life ...

Meanwhile, Anandi shouted "Oh My God!" and suddenly jumped and started running toward that lady. That lady was startled as she heard a big shout nearer and suddenly saw a woman grabbing her son from the edge of the platform ..and saved him from falling !...

What are you doing madam ...leaving the small kid in this elevated place?'Anandi shouted at her and she looked towards that saviour and was stunned .."Anandi ..it is you?...here!"---

To be continued ...

In the concluding part , we are going to witness ... I mean feel , hmn ...what I want to tell is ..ya ...that is true !😊
Seetha

Song translation ---
Telugu song ---Yamunaa teeram ...Sandhyaa Raagam ...

On the bank of river Yamuna... .the waves are singing the melodious evening raga [tune]

Dreams are becoming true...

I can see In your beautiful black eyes ...

While watching .. on the floral path in the moonlit river's dreamy waves shining ...

Think as if we are destined to live this moment together as if living a full life

As if all our dreams have come true like the taste of a fully ripened sweet fruit..

Our Love is capable of defeating even the fate ...

True meaning of love is even the heart lost its existence when the love preoccupied it !

Never forget the story of happiest bliss of the soul when it was in love !

One beckoning smile of the lover is enough even for the fate to flourish ...

A small sigh of relief of the soul is an enormous victory even for us

Even In the season of Fall ...in the cool winter, the flaming love will give us the warmth ...

Tender love blooms like small,fresh, budding leaves in the Spring season ...

Don't forget the happiness of our hearts swing while listening to our love story!

On the bank of river Yamuna... .the waves are singing the melodious evening raga [tune]

The beautiful creations were prepared by my friend Manu !

Thanks a lot to my friends for this help !

Part 6--the concluding part .

The Cascading Streams...In The Expansive Territory Of Love

Potoci koji se slivaju...U Siroku Teritoriju Ljubavi

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZog064y4Us

What are you doing madam ...leaving the small kid in this elevated place?'Anandi shouted at her and she looked towards that saviour and was stunned ...

Anandi ...it is you ? Here ? ...'

Gowri ...you !This kid ? Jaggiya knows ?'

He is my kid ...when Jagdish left me I was not aware of this ,that I was pregnant , later I realized ,but don't want to reveal it to him ! He abruptly severed all ties with me , left me in shock and sorrow ...wanted to contact him when I realized I am pregnant but, if he comes back for his Kid's sake ...it was an insult to me ...I don't want to share my child with Singhs.. they are longing for a male heir and if D'SA knows this ,she will grab my child and will unceremoniously push me out of that BH again! So kept myself silent !

When Jagdish came to Mumbai to meet me , I did not meet him because of my advanced stage of pregnancy ...out of fear of losing my child . After delivery ... I left the baby with my parents and went to London for FRCS...got a job there , planning to settle there ,want to take my parents and kid with me now ...I came here to attend an International Medical Conference organized by AIIMS .Tomorrow we are all leaving this country .

Still the kid was in the hands of Anandi ...clinging to her and watching her with innocent eyes!

This is not correct Gowri ...you should have informed Jaggiya' ...

Gowri pulled the kid from Anandi's hands and looked around her for Jagdish. Anandi realized her fear, meanwhile Shiv reached there . Anandi introduced Shiv as collector and as her husband whom she married recently !

There is a disbelief in Gowri's eyes .. a collector married a country side illiterate ...how is it possible ?

Then what happened to Jagdish ?' Anandi noticed her disbelief and dilemma , answered all her questions ,and finally said ..'.it is better to inform about this kid , to Jagdish before leaving the country !'

Anandi ...what are you talking ? You married a well placed wealthy person and left Jagdish , who loves you and who was always longing for you even while in my presence ...and now you are advising me to inform about my kid and do you think...the Singhs will leave my kid with me? No ! I lost everything in my life because of you ...slowly recuperating from past wounds ...and trying to move on in life .

I presume that I never met you, Anandi, you too remember ...I won't reveal my whereabouts to you people and not ready to lose everything in life again !'---and started moving away fast from there !

Anandi while following her ..tried to convince her to meet Jaggiya once ...but Gowri walked fast, sat in a cab with her kid, and went away !

Anandi was stunned and stood there like a statue ! Shiv held her hand and said ..''Anandi , let us think about it on our way back ..don't take her words to heart" The waning sun's rays are slowly fading away from the sky and people started to leave !

Shiv and Anandi started moving towards their car ...meanwhile a sales man with a few boxes with sets of various small statuettes came there and pleaded to buy some as memorabilia of Agra. Anandi saw a statuette in his hand and it was very light and small too ...Padmapani Siddhartha from Ajanta Caves ! She liked and took that and asked about the other ones in the box ...he told her all of them are statuettes from famous places ...and pleaded to buy some. ' Anandi take one box, we will give it to Gulli , she will expect something from this place and let us move from here , we have to reach back . Tomorrow morning we have to catch the flight to get back to Jaitser .'-- Without checking ..she hurriedly took one box and paid .

Sitting in the car ...she looked at the beautiful replica of Taj Mahal , which was given to her by Shiv while in the Taj . How happy she was ..receiving that love gift from Shiv...but within minutes this shocking Gowri incident ...

In the night ...they finished the packing. Shiv was observing her ...she was completely engrossed in her thoughts... he realized that she needs some cheering up. He sat beside her and comforted her taking her close in his arms and caressing her hair and said some soothing words to her . Looking deeply in to Shiv's eyes she asked him with a painful voice-- '' Shiv ...how could she say all those harsh words to me... I never did any harm to her, always understood her precarious position and pain !Then why this ?''...her voice quivered . She revisited her past and was rebutted by her present mood which left her in stunned silence !

Shiv realized that it is important to keep tying up loose ends, to keep expressing love and reassurance after such incident !

Anandi please, everybody has their own grouse and perception ...no need to pay attention to her words ...please take rest dear ..it is already past midnight ...' She rested her head on his chest and hugged him as if seeking solace from him and pressed her face on his chest . He realized the need of the hour and comforted her with some affectionate, pampering words ... hearing his rhythmical heart beat ...she slipped into sleep !

In the morning they handed over the house , and keys to Vinod's relatives who reached there before their departure !

In the flight Shiv tried to change the mood of Anandi, put on the video in front of them and started watching the film Roja'

Shiv and Anandi ...hand in hand .. there, against a vast canvas of ice ... nestling in the lap of dazzling snow-capped Himalayas, a paradise for couples ..a nature lover's wonderland ... forested with orchards , Tulip gardens with most vibrant colours, and decorated by lily-laden lakes. In that paradise on earth she cozied herself in his hands ...watching the snow covered mountains in front of her ...

In that spring noon .. the honey-dew orchards, rippling lakes the mighty mountains and blue skies beckon every soul to sample the many delights the mountains and valleys have to offer...in The Abode of Love' --

Amidst those gardens blooming with innumerable varieties of flowers , beautiful lawns, attractive flowers and fountains... comes...his soul-entwining hug ..her eyes half closed ...immersed in the complexities and mysteries of romantic feelings...they were swaying with the cool breeze ... running around the tall beautiful conifer trees... next moment, they were running in the rowed Tulip Gardens ...she was clutched to him ..and then suddenly they were stopped in the middle of the floral garden ..with a radiant shy smile she confessed her love ... Shiv I love you!' ...those sweet words echoed in those snow capped mountains , in those Tulip Gardens .. Shiv's face was glowing... like a rainbow in the sky !...

"Anandi...we landed in Jaipur" ...Shiv woke her up!...she was yet to realise that it was a dream ...startled, she said ."really Shiv ...! '

Come on Anandi ..we have to go' ...

She realised that it is only a dream ...they got off, got into the car and started towards Jaitsar .. on a nearly 3 hours drive ...

Anandi while watching the fast moving landscape from the car, slipped in to her thoughts...suddenly started talking ...

Shiv ...I think Gowri is right ! Jaggiya's life has changed, now he is concentrating on his profession and family ! He started showing some interest towards Ganga ...and trying to empower her , educate and to make her self- sufficient , If he knows about Gowri and the kid ...he will be disturbed , if she agrees to be with him ...it will be different , but she was averse to stay with him , did not accept to share the child with him ,denied to reveal her whereabouts...so it is meaningless to tell him about this incident now ...but at least I have to tell him one day ... he must know what he lost somewhere else in another sphere !'

Anandi ...I can understand Dr. Gowri's point of view ...they may claim for the kid , unnecessary anticipation and anguish for D'sa and others ..Court will support her case ...and by the way ...on the previous occasions ...you gave the judgement in favour of Phooli ...that she should get the custody of the kid ,not the husband and in laws ,in Ganga's case also you convinced everybody to give the child to the mother . So I feel in present circumstances , we should keep silent in this matter, instead of revealing the truth and leave people in trauma !'

Ha ..Shiv ...I am also thinking in the same way !'--- A great relief on her face !

They reached DC bungalow by noon . When they reached home, C'ma and Sanchi were ready with their luggage packed ..after lunch they left to Udaipur .

Anandi ...I have to go to office now , I think you better go to BH and spend sometime there while coming back I will come there' -

He dropped her and went away .

Sumitra came forward to receive Anandi with a happy face and Anandi hugged her mother and then went in to the hall and there she embraced D'sa and sat beside her !

Tell me Anandi ...how you spent your time there ..what you have seen there ?'

Anandi narrated FM meeting and then Farm house and Taj visit , meanwhile Ganga brought Tea for them ...

Ganga ...how are you ...how is Mannu ...are you going to school everyday to teach kids ?'- Ha ...Anandiji, helping Phooli and Gulli . Mannu is having his afternoon nap . I am learning English from Dr Sa .

Anandi ...tonight both of you have dinner with us . I heard that Meenu and Sanchi have left for Udaipur . So no need to prepare food there ...eat here and take rest for today !' Dsa told Anandi .

OK Dadisa ...I will inform this to Shiv.!'...'Na..na ..I will talk to him , D'sa grabbed the mobile from her hand and invited Shiv for Dinner in a formal way !

In the evening Phooli and Gulli came to meet Anandi and briefed about the school to her .

Talking with them Anandi went in to the garden and spent time walking along with them there . The sun was soft and gentle. The breeze was cool! It was pleasant to take a leisurely stroll around the garden in the evening.

Birds were coming back to their nests on the trees in the evening to sing their sweet songs to their young ones... the friends stopped near the Gandharaj shrub ...the king of fragrance ... those highly scented flowers spread enchanting perfume, intoxicating fragrance and are all too seductive! Phooli plucked a few flowers and Gulli plucked a bunch of Jasmine Buds ...yet to flower but with their half opened petals were resembling the shy smiles on the lips of a to-be bride !

They came back to Anandi's room . In BH they kept her room in good condition and maintained it with all her loving memories intact, the same way as at the time of her departure after her marriage , so that whenever she comes ...she can use it with the same right and authority of a lovable daughter of the house! Anandi felt elated to be back in her room.. in her own house! Gulli went out to help Nandu with his home work .

Phooli took Anandi's hand in to hers and started talking ..."Anandi ...we have grown up together ... played , teased , cried and then consoled each other in all these years ...shared our dreams, aspirations, then life's bitter experiences ,whenever we needed solace , we comforted and together confronted with every life's difficulty ...as your close friend I want to tell you one thing ...please understand my words ...you deserve every happiness in life , having an ideal husband like Shiv , you are still hesitating to come out and openly express your love , Ha .. I know that..your dilemma, don't be surprised, ...but ...but please Anandi submit yourself to him ...he is waiting there to give you all the happiness in this world ... I am your friend . I know what is going on in your mind . Come out of the past and live with perfect happiness, in marital bliss with Shiv !"

She looked in to Anandi's eyes deeply and got the answer from her smiling eyes and a soft sqeeze of her hand ...She gave the Gandharaj flowers to Anandi and hugged her with an understanding smile !

D'sa asked them to stay for dinner but Phooli and Gulli went away saying they will come another day !

Shiv came late in the evening and they all had dinner together !

Anandi went into her room and stood in front of her mother's wall mounted photo ...

Maa ... you spent your life..as if you were born only to give birth to me and nurture me! All your life, you were thinking about me and my happiness... you sacrificed your happiness for my sake.. you protected me every moment from every possible trouble! you lived only for me and even in the end you died only after ensuring that I am going to have a bright future and pressured me in order to bring happiness back to my life! Throughout your life ...you were caring , struggling , dreaming and emotionally longing for my happiness. Please give me your Aashivad [ Blessings.]...I am going to fulfill your dreams ,'...

She wiped her tears and bowed to her mother's photo ...and realised that Shiv is also there ...he too bowed his head along with Anandi .

Anandi collected the flowers Phooli brought from the garden from there and came down along with Shiv .

D'sa gave a box- ful of Halwa to Anandi and said ...'Shiv hasn't eaten well ...give him some after reaching home !'

Sumitra came out to see them off and before getting into the car , Anandi hugged Sumitra.

Anandi ... if no one is around at home there is no need of this Pallu on your head ...no need of veils in between you and him', she whispered in her ear and ...she removed the pallu from her head and plucked a pair of freshly blossomed Jasmine flowers , put them in Anandi's hair on one side...and looked into her eyes deeply and nodded her head ! That nod of a mother conveyed a thousand advises to her daughter ! She got many more assurances from her child in return ..Sumitra went inside with a sigh of relief and contentment !***********************************************************************************************

A small drizzle just stopped and the moon was peeping out to tease the lovers in its characteristic way...a cool breeze was playing with Anandi's hair locks and made her look more beautiful ...the Gandharaj flowers in the car were spreading the sweet fragrance in their hearts ! While driving , Shiv caught hold of her hand and kissed it gently ...and looked in to her eyes ...with that little romantic act she moved closer to him and rested her head on his shoulder and said ...

We are on the road Collector Sab ...if anybody saw us like this , think what will happen ...tomorrow they will complain to D'sa !

Shiv with a mischievous smile .."then let us go home fast '...the car speeded up ...like Shiv's enthu ..

A strong feeling of excitement enveloped him ... when he noticed the change of expressions in her smile ...

----It is clear that she accepted him as part of her own self ... in all respects ! ---His heart started missing some beats often and he was eager to reach home as early as possible !

The watchman opened the gate and ran behind the car up to portico ...and gave Shiv some lotus flowers ...' Saab ! Bheem Singhji brought these lotus flowers and asked me to give them to you ...Is there any Pooja tomorrow ?'

He took those flowers from his hand and said ..'Ha...yes...yes , I have to perform Devi's Pooja ! Look ..lock the gate and you too relax...we won't go anywhere now !'

He came in behind Anandi, closed the main door , and switched off the door bell !

Anandi ...where is your mobile ?' she gave her mobile to Shiv.. looking at him quizzically!

He switched off all the mobiles and dropped them on the centre table in the hall !

No contacts with the outside world ...tonight we are living for each other'... looking deeply in to her eyes ..answered her !

Suddenly a veil of shyness draped her eyes , her cheeks already turned pinkish and she went up running ! Anandi was about to close the door ...but he barged in on time !

With a quiver in her body , unable to decide what to do ...looked into the room ... she saw scented candles ready to be lit, in the four corners, the cot was decorated with roses and an intoxicating mix of floral fragrance and aroma of the scented candles filled the room and her eyes were wide open ..and she looked at him ...

He came nearer to her and said ..'came home from the office and arranged all these for you' ...he searched in her eyes ...and he got the answer from her coy smile ...

Wth a low voice she said ...'After the long trip, I feel like taking a shower' ...

I too would like to take a shower Anandi ...'

"wait in the hall, you can do so after me' ... with a sharp look she said in a low voice .

With a smile he started taking out his night clothes and went into the other bedroom !

She kept the pink Maxi and the Arden series Red Door' perfume on the bed and went inside the bathroom... before going she closed the bedroom door without making any sound !

She thought... she noticed Shiv to be very romantic that night ..while Shiv thought Anandi gave enough indications that she is ready to share love, life with him ... the lotus flowers were lying on the pillows as if to preach them some... delicate and fragrant love lessons!

Anandi saw the room with her wide eyes ...A beautiful spread of rich colored flowers... a bed of roses...the ultimate poetic expression of conjugal bliss ...arranged by Shiv himself...the attractive warrior's romantic expression to his love smitten maiden !

She saw the box of statuettes brought from Agra on the dressing table ...oh... forgot to give it to Gulli ... she took out the statuettes from the box one by one and was stunned to realise that except for the Siddharth' memento, all the remaining statuettes are replicas of sculptures from Khajuraho and Konark temples ! She stood there with her mouth wide open!...

Shiv entered in to the room ...Anandi was watching the moon from the window ... he went nearer to her and gently took her in to his hands ...she suddenly embraced him like a delicate creeper, heavy with full bloomed flowers, that was longing for a firm support to entwine and enlarge.

He said ...'Anandi this black lotus[Neel Kamal ] is for your enchanting eyes' ..with a delicate kiss on her eyes he handed over that flower to her ... Anu ...look!... with this pinkish tinge ..this beautiful lotus is for your cheeks'..he rubbed his rugged face on her cheeks and delicately touched her cheeks with lotus and gave that pretty flower to her ...'see..this red lotus is for your alluring lips ..let me taste the beauty in its sweetest form' ..he planted a kiss on her lips and touched her tender lips with that flower and gave it to her ... and these two seductive purple lotuses are to greet your...' she blushed ... Anandi ..why I am giving these flowers to you now ..do you know ?!... it is my way of expressing my adoration for your beauty and of course fill your hands with these lovely flowers ...so that you cannot stop my overtures with your hands' ...he laughed like the enthralling metallic drum beats in a well orchestrated concert !Their romance was cradled into a song .. Shiv turned on the MP3Player ...the song Tum mile Dil Khile' ... ..which their hearts were singing... was in the air! The moonlit starry sky with an occasional cloud with silver lining was clearly visible through the window, making the mood more romantic.

Since ages poets empowered the lovers to bring the moon to the earth to gift away to their beloved as an expression of unequivocal love ! But in the context of the present mood, in between them , there was no giving or taking but only owning the love ... a new universe in its entirety!

Love and union were exchanging new ideas... the two notions began to intermingle...it is a state that is somewhat curious to every lover, which arouses amusement and interest . Shiv showed the statuettess to Anandi and smiled ... "do you want to give them to anybody?" A teasing question from him ...she tried to close his eyes ... but Shiv stopped her and whispered to her ...'keep them there Anandi ..let us learn from these divine sculptures'...with a mischievous smile!

Golden moments of heart stirrups held them in an embrace for eternity ...time forgot to move ...space lost its existence...so great was that sweet pain in happiness and in losing one's existence in that expressiveness !

...What is this ...why this passion is dominating ... the first stirrings of love ...as if the ocean itself is swelling with strong tidal waves of desire ...that inundate their world!

He lost himself in her and she regained herself in his presence!! He extended himself in to her love and she reflected herself in his romance ...the moonlight has manifested itself as a smile on her half opened lips ,and the cool breeze has surrounded them with floral fragrances of Gandharaj !

As an inquisitive intruder, shyness was swinging between them, at times dominating, sometimes defeated by the bold steps of desire ...love enthralled the hearts of the young couple .

A small cloud moved towards the moon and was swept aside by a gush of wind!

The moon lit night was witnessing the boundless jubilation of bliss ...the ultimate expression of any man to his woman , an enthralling expression of blooming love to strive and thrive... then a sense of belonging !

Surrendering is the dominant feeling there and owning is the unwritten rule at that moment , in their world!

In that outburst ..as if giving her support .. he embraced her with his strong hands ... like extending his helping hand to her trembling wishes ...to her hovering desires..entwined her, bringing his stocked up endearment to a culmination... in that intimacy ..in their togetherness!

She only knew what she said to him ..or rather intended to say ..but he already realised.. understood ..long before ... what she wanted to say ...no words were needed ...only feelings of desire were flowing like cascading streams...in the expansive territory of love!

They dedicated themselves at the altar of love...for now...for ever!

The beautiful beginning of a classic love ...

Will be there in our dreams and imaginations... forever ...forever !

I am completely overwhelmed with emotions...never saw it together like this...was reading it in parts, always privileged to read it first, she would send me so that I could translate...the same she, I am sure, did with Manu for her siggies and with Tulasi for her VM and siggies...and I remember how all of us in SY FC were excited to read it, to have our dreams for AnSh come true at last. She wrote it so beautifully, cover all loose ends that CVs left to be told...enchanting srorytelling...magic weaving, together with those siggies and songs...complete magic...⭐️

Thank you for posting it here, truly appreciate it. ⭐️🤗

Seetha was a real definition to friendship .Many of us have people in our lives with whom we feel the bond described by the word friendship .Time , destiny and distance do nothing to diminish the bond we have with these kinds of special friends.A true friend inspires you to live up to your best potential .Seetha is one of that special type of friend , very understanding and inspiring .

Here is her views on friendship ---

Manu ...i am happy now...😊

😊🤗

When we honestly ask ourselves... which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those persons who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand ! The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and suffering , who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares. Your friendship matters to me most Manu !

Seetha was a feminist by nature and a humanist at core .

Most of her posts on women based issues shows her understanding the nature of Gender inequality in our society . She extensively examined women's social roles, experience, interests, from the angle of sociology , psychoanalysis, economics, literature , social norms and in a way Philosophy also .

Here is one of her widely discussed thread in Balika Vadhu , Haan ! Said Ganga ! on the sufferings of the character of Ganga .

Haan..!' Said Ganga ... to Ratan- a defining moment followed by a deafening silence ...which reverberated in the jail surroundings !! Decision has been taken by a mother !!

Here an arrogant criminal member of the patriarchal society is asking for his heir,not a father asking for his son!...any righteous person could have easily given his bone marrow unconditionally!

This haan' from Ganga for handing over her son to a butcher father ... sacrificing her toddler son is only to save his life! Just to see him alive! What an irony of Fate!

Here Ratan is not asking for Mannu as a responsible father, ...not with love and attachment and not with any tender feelings for him ...but ...but with a purpose ...a purpose of having a son as his heir...to carry on his legacy ... an age old blind belief...still being carried into the present day modern society'... coupled with a revengeful intention to prove his authority over her, for revolting against his authority over her. He has no tender feelings towards his kids ...that is very much clear when he rejected Padma and her daughter. Why this disparity ?? What is the meaning of a woman's life in a biased society ??

What is this blindly practiced patriarchy...Does it not sound meaningless ?

Why ...why a father's role is so important in a child's life ?... which is only a peripheral involvement [ rightly and beautifully described by a IF member as a pleasure trip'..This phrase speaks volumes ... defining the whole meaning of a passive nature of a man ..A father !! ]

In the case of a father like Ratan, only with his few minutes of involvement in bringing a child into this world ...how can the society hand over all the rights...legally , socially and traditionally, and declare him as a sole authority ...a care taker better than a mother ! How??

What about the role played by a mother who is very much involved physically and emotionally since conception till the end [her end !! ] ..conceiving, giving birth, breast- feeding, nurturing, care taking, grooming, educating the do's and don'ts in life, in essence making a man of a child, with a whole hearted involvement ? But here, this heir' theory makes her a mere spectator ...A mute witness !.. Is it not atrocious ?

Raped by Ratan ... Ganga suffered every night onslaught, was used by his family as a free servant maid ..as a slave ...now, even after escaping from their clutches and a certain eventual death, fate has brought her back to the very same rogue' family with begging hands... that is the irony of fate'

Since centuries my question has been ...as a woman, as a wife, as a mother...called with different names , ...why this second grade treatment to a woman in every event at every stage of her life ?Why ...Why ...being a life giver ..why should she live like a lifeless log!

Some of her replies worth mentioning ----

Why she is shown as a sufferer all the time . Why she is deprived of a normal and stable life. Her unending woes and sobs is so depressing . Can't bear the distress of this character.

@Seetha...Hemangi ... even today in this 21st century ...majority of the women folk are living in the similar conditions ...docile ... and feeling diminutive ...like a second grade citizen in her own house ...in this so called modern society !!

Mind sets have to be changed !

As a woman in India, I find that the society is changing a lot in terms of acceptance of the many roles of women as professionals, as bread-earners in families and as independent thinking individuals.

The traditional Indian woman has evolved to prove herself equal in many professions as well as proved better suited than men in others.

The situation for the changing role of women is improving fast!On the other hand, female foeticide, dowry deaths and domestic abuse, marital rape , provide a macabre background of primitive barbarism.

In the typical Indian Society, you find that there are still expectations and assumptions about women that are not so much relevant to their current status, but a clear hangover from our supressive past. This may be more obvious with traditional women or women in rural societies, but it is extremely prevalent in urban ones as well !

************************

@ S Puja... Society is like this with tacit support from women themselves. Unless we accept this hard fact and take remedial action - nothing will change.

@ Seetha----A mother can give her child good culture, customs , inculcate human values and teach social behaviour,to the extent of her own upbringing and education ...but at various stages of a child growing into a man, his interaction with the society, which at present is definitely not woman-friendly as desirable, influences his ultimate behaviour and some times deviates him from being a good human being and turns him into an assertive chauvinist !

@Telltgeek Nari is no more Abla,she has come a long way. She doesn't need any Jagya or Shiv to make her happy and her life worth living .---------------
@Seetha ---Very true Tellygeek... both Anandi and Ganga are very strong characters... an ideal depiction of a modern empowered women ! At times i feel that ...Shiv and Jaggya are having the ornamental value in these two strong ladies' lives !!
Love is there ...adoration is there ...support is there ...but at the same time expectations are also there, In some occasions explanations are also demanded , none the less commands are also there from the society ,from the family !
The complexities of a woman's life is unpredictable and at times unexplainable too!!

Real tragedies happen only to real people like what happened to the victims of recent Malaysian airlines apisode. God does not care for them, it seems. He or she is sitting there to help only BV people. VIP treatment after some initial hiccups.
@Seetha...Leaves ...really i like this sarcastic sense of humor of yours 😊!

@leavesandwaves ...There was one Indian family who were travelling international for the first time in their lives. How exciting it is for first time air travelers, many of us experienced. Just imagine the huge aircraft suddenly descending too fast and then diving into the sea after some time. And there will be kids too in that aircraft with lots of excitement. Even a few minutes of turbulence affects me and I just sit wondering as to who invented this madness called aeroplane and vowing to myself next time I will avoid flying but cant due to unavoidable circumstances. Life is also a journey full of risks and riddles and we have to face them everyday whether we like it or not.
