If Only

“If Only” a Romantic drama starring Paul Nicholls as Ian Wyndham & Jennifer Love Hewitt as Samantha Andrews.
Stop and rewind.
He realizes this is a sign or an omen of some kind and tries to change the future for the better. He goes to extreme levels to prevent his love from dying.
He tells her that he will take off and that they should spend the day together. She is kind of surprised at his sudden change in temperament and keeps asking him for the rest of the day “What’s wrong?”
As the day proceeds, everything that happened in his dream actually happens for real and every other signal just re-affirms his belief that everything that happened in the dream is going to happen again!!
Throughout the day, we see tremendous transformation in the man.
He takes good care of her… He loves her so much and this one time, he shows it… shows it by doing things that she always wanted and appreciated…
Ian Wyndham: I Love you.
Ian becomes the victim of the accident in his girlfriend's stead, as he holds her tight for the last time. Leaving Sam inconsolable.
As she sings…
It'll be alright
This movie leaves behind its imprints in our mind.
Life is so erratic.We do all the planning as if we are going to live for an eternity and we forget to live that moment, which may never come back!
So, if you want to tell anyone how much they mean to you, do it today, right now!
Because not all of us get the chance to make up like Ian.

இந்த இரு வார்த்தைகளுமே போதுமானதாய் இருந்தது அவள் என்னை வெற்றி கொள்ள!//
Had to change her mood… அவ அழறது எனக்கு பிடிக்காது….
Asked her to sing her fav song….. கொஞ்ச வெட்க பட்டா! I started humming… she picked it…..
தொட தொட மலர்ந்ததென்ன... பூவே! சுட சுட நனைந்ததென்ன....?
(it was beautifully drizzling then….)
அந்த இள வயதில் ஆற்றங்கரை மணலில்... காலடி தடம் பதித்தோம் யார் அடித்தார்....?
(அவ voice ல ஒரு நடுக்கம் …..)
I said…. I love u ammu! She was quite for sometime…. then hugged me still tight n placed a kiss on my shoulders….
We travelled back to jan…. I got posted @ client office….. She was jumping in joy….. it was near to her office …. Well I was happy too….. My posting had helped me work for her marriage too….. s my darling got married in the month of love…. It was much easier to list out n complete all chores left for her marriage. In this past 6 months we had spent enough time…. Lunch, shopping, evening pick up, Morning drop….. Visits to each others office…. 10 mins to have fresh fruit juice….. What not….?

//அந்நேரத்தில் எங்கள் மௌனம் உடைக்கப்பெறின்

Love ???????????????????

Love is the beauty of the soul….. Love is Life…..
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
Love is a temporary lunacy. It erupts like a volcano and then subsides, and when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Cos this is what love is…
Love is not
Possessiveness
Jealousy
Lust
Fear
Keeping people all to yourself
Expecting something from someone
Real love is unconditional...
To love someone unconditionally means that you love the person exactly as they are, exactly as they were before, and exactly as they will be in the future – because people change all the time, so if you love the person, you will love them even if they become something you disagree with.
Love is not about you or your pleasure or your amusement. It’s not about what you get out of it or what the other person can give to you. It’s not about you feeling pompous to be with someone who always agrees with everything you say and do and never does anything you disagree with.
Unconditional love means that the person can just live their life exactly as they choose and you will always be there for them no matter what.
Unconditional love is more of a pious thing. It’s not bound by physical things, like blood relations and the desire to procreate. So, how does unconditional love fit in with relationships and marriage and all that stuff the whole world keeps going crazy over? It doesn’t, really fit in. It doesn’t fit in anywhere.
Relationships are like trying to put love into a match box and keep it there, except love is infinitely sized, and the match box is never large enough. Relationships based on needs are not unconditional.
If unconditional love comes from deep inside you, it doesn’t really make sense to try to love people unconditionally, since it kind of goes against the entire point… you can’t force yourself to love anybody, just like you can’t force yourself to stop.
By loving someone… we are giving them the gift of simply letting them be who they are in an environment free of all burdens and judgments. No hiding, no pruning their emotions, beliefs, and past. No fear and no shame.
Love has to be understood by one ‘self. There’s also quite a lot of thought involved in getting rid of society’s definitions of love which get deep-seated in everyone’s minds from early childhood already.
Some of the greater things in life are unseen that’s why we close your eyes when we kiss, cry, or dream… or in short LOVE.. As it includes three of them.
I could fill a thousand pages telling you what is love and still you would not understand. So now I leave you to realize it all by yourself… ;)

Choco Secrets


Chocolate is a psychoactive food. It is made from the seeds of the tropical cacao tree, Theobroma cacao.
The cacao tree was named by the 17th century Swedish naturalist, Linnaeus. The Greek term Theobroma means literally "food of the gods".
(Because of spelling error, probably by traders long ago, these beans became known as cocoa beans.)
The word "chocolate" comes from a combination of the terms choco ("foam") and atl ("water") early chocolate was only consumed in beverage form.
Chocolate was mostly considered a beverage for centuries, and drinking chocolate was considered a very fashionable social event.
Raw unprocessed chocolate is gritty, grainy and really not suitable for eating.
Swiss chocolate manufacturer Rudolph Lindt discovered a process of rolling and kneading chocolate that gives it the smoother and richer quality that eating chocolate is known for today.
The name 'conching' comes from the shell-like shape of the rollers used. The longer chocolate and any ingredients added like milk, vanilla, extra cocoa butter is conched, the more luxurious it will feel on our tongue.
One study of the human electroencephalographic (EEG) response to chocolate suggests that the odour of chocolate significantly reduces theta activity in the brain. Reduced theta activity is associated with enhanced relaxation.
Several substances found in chocolates are linked with mood enhancing brain chemicals...
Theobromine - stimulates the heart muscle that causes elevating effects.
Tryptophan - promotes feeling of well being helps in the production of the mood-modulating neurotransmitter serotonin
Caffenine - Stimualnt that acts on central nervous system
Phenylethylamine – (Love Chemical) associated with feelings of attraction & excitement, reputed to be a mood elevator and an anti-depressant.
Endorphins - probably contribute to the warm inner glow induced in susceptible chocoholics.
This sensation explains why chocolate gifts are a great way to bring joy to a loved one.
The combination of these substances, giving a extra energy, making ones heart beat faster, making a bit jumpy and slightly giddy....well, one can see how chocolate could be linked to love.
While chocolate is also being praised for having lots of healthy antioxidants that help fight disease!
Moral of the Story is: I keep enjoying my fav Fruit & Nut & Choco Truffle and U too ENJOY! ;)

ரணம் சுகம்... a musical novelette


கதை...
இது கதையா...? கவிதையா...? காதலித்து பார்த்தவனுக்கு கவிதை, மற்றவர்களுக்கு கதை...

பாடல்கள்... Beautiful lyrics
யாரிவள் - தன் தேவதையை கண்டுவிட்ட ஆண்மகனின் துள்ளல்.
En kanavin kaagidhathil… Meliya dhoorigai theetugiraal…
காதல் சொல்லு - காதல் வயபட்டவளின் தவிப்பு.
Pudhu pengal unnidam paesinaal… ulley pudhidhai pathatangal pirakkudhey…
Nilazh illa en ulagin anbaana kudayum nee…
தேடி சோறு - awe-inspiring rendition…Tribute to maha kavi
நிலவும் தூங்கலாம் - நட்பின் ஆழம்.
nee kuda varugayil… natpey velichamagumey…
nee kuda vandhaal… vazhkai inbamagumey…
வெயில் மழை - முதல் காதல், முதல் முத்தம், மரிக்கும் வரை மறக்காது நெஞ்சம். beautifully sung
unnodu varava endraal.. mudhal mazhayil nanigiraen…
en thanimai motham unnil kalakka… romantic yaar….
நீர் எழுத்தா - கண்ணாமூச்சி விளையாடும் விதியின் சாபம்.
kaneerin suvaiya nee.. Niramilla vaanavilla nee..?
kadaisiyil dharmamey velli kaatum… :)
Kothu parotta va epdi kandu pidichirupanga? ha ha haa! Doubt of the yr :)
மோனத்திருக்குதடி

ரணம் சுகம் - வலி.
ranam kuda sugam dhaan… nee kuda vandhaal...
மொத்தத்தில் ரணம் கூட சுகம் தான்.
I came to know about ‘bookisai’ (Appreciate the idea of bringing novel & music together) thru a fren of mine working in CTS. The stills & web designs are simply super.

BRIDA

Brida - the journey of 21-year old girl, who was a “witch” in her past reincarnations and had forgotten the same through various births. However, the attraction to occult and magic remained in her memory and made her seek the knowledge that would guide her on this path.
As she goes on her journey, she rediscovers her gift through the teachings of a wise man and a tarot card reader who is herself a witch. They teach her to dance to the hidden music of the world and connect with her soul through her own voyage of discovery.
Search for one’s destiny, true love and a soul mate, finding a more joyous self, making choices that lead to these desirables… the usual Paulo Coelho themes one finds in Brida.
(The above posted collage strolls thru the chapters of Brida.)
