it turned out to be a spiritual experience when I sat down to sketch her face because.I gained more confidence in the creator's ability; especially His aesthetic prowess. I felt besmalled by His artistry for giving her such precise and fine structure, those majestic curves and pleasing composition.
I was sulking from inside, feeling guilty , as if I was ruining a perfectly done masterpiece.
''Why do you think that way? It's enough that you tried to sketch me.'' She could not understand my guilt.
''It isn't enough,'' I protested, ''This was my chance to show you how beautiful you look in my eyes.''

Our voices are such a giveaway to our personality and mood. We can try to sound normal when in a bad mood, but our voices reveal what we conceal.
''Tell me what happened.'' and ''Nothing.'' follow before we submit in to confess what is bothering us.
I have heard her amiable voice, her teasing voice, her child-like story-telling voice and I have heard her moaning voice, her cranky voice and her choking-for-words voice.
''Which voice do you prefer the least?'' She asks.
''When I am talking to your silence.''

Beauty is subjective, but everyone unanimously accepts that it is not artificial. Make up, accessories and clothing can do little good if you are not healthy and happy from inside.
''I am not that beautiful,'' she says and it is the most beautiful aspect of her.
She may not comply to all the universally acceoted parameters of beauty, but I know that she is kind, honest, good-spirited and loving, Hence ''beautiful'' is a word zi would always associate with her.

''Sometimes I do not get any sleep despite lying on my bed for the whole night. It is like I am reading ten murder mysteries at once, not knowing the murderer in any of them.'' I told her my situation.
''Thatt's horrible. What do you do then?'' She asked in her concerned voice.
''I think of writing a blog post suggesting Top 100 ways of getting sound sleep.''
''Why can't you be serious about anything?'' she snapped, ''What are you doing to cure your problem?''
''I am waiting for someone to rock my cradle and sing me a lullaby.''

I see the migratory birds flying back to their native towns. I see the mprints of our feet being washed away. The daylight is fading. It's time to depart.
''Why does nothing stay forever?'' I ask her.
''I am sure it gets recorded in the archive of universe somewhere. We can always refer to it in our memories. It doesn't stay the same way as if it does we would never have new memories.'' She explained.
I smiled shortly, but still wondered if she was going to stay by my side for the new memories.
As if reading my thoughts, she held my hand softly.
We held hands and watched the sunset.

What does it mean to meet her after a long while?
In her absence, I used to look at her photos in my mobile phone and touch her face with my fingers to feel her presence.
I used to write short messages to her on the foggy bathroom mirror.
I used to think of great lines I would say to her when we meet.
Presently, she says with a smile, ''Finally we meet',' and I spontaneously express my heartfelt emotions to her and say, ''Yes, hi.''
''You just don't understand communication,'' I tell myself.

Arguments are based on logic, yet are most insensible Facts and other's beliefs are sidelined, and the ego to win an argument comes into foreplay.
Negative emotions like anger and anxiety take over.
When we have an argument, we know that it is not the best thing we involve ourselves in. Sadly, willingness to win an argument is a human tendency tough to resist.
We can be relentless, say harsh things and express our anger.. Shortly, we are at our worst.
Arguments are good that way.. We get to know how bad is our worst. They are an examination to test how much we value each other. Redemption process is sweet
