The forever blossoming flower

I always find it very interesting to attempt to define two things: 1. Love 2. God. They keep changing, I mean the definition. The best so far is to leave them undefined. Anyway, that cannot be a definition. Let me attempt one more time here. Of course, only about love now :) By the way, you don’t have to agree or disagree with me as I am sure I am not really going succeed in giving it a definition.

I have to observe the patterns. I have to understand the historical evidences. I have to watch some great movies. I have to interview people. I have to read hundreds of books. I have to spend time with people. I mean, I have to start somewhere… where do I actually start? Oh, don’t worry. I am not going to do any of these and share you a thesis.

Do you think infancy is when the love is truly felt? Maybe yes! There is surely no mind or the mind cannot be corrupted that early. Oh, wait! Then, is there a heart involved? If no, OMG, a love without mind and heart, possible? Let me answer it a little later (actually I won’t).

I think we are formally introduced to love by our parents. It is part of their role in developing good characters in us. Of course, later love’s meaning goes towards gender basis. Just like so many other things, love too is not understood well in that part of our life.

20s are typically a tough period for love as it tend to lose its true(!) nature. Or I can say it don’t exist at all. We don’t just love someone. The future, society, status, family and many more can drive love. Fortunately, love re-enters in its real nature when you become a parent and reaches its peak when you become a grandparent. It is just that our understanding changes when we grow!

Am I deviating from the original plan, i.e. define love?



Two hands move. No heads turned. Two hands move. No words spoken. Two hands move. No eyes moved. Two hands move. One to hold and one to be hold. That is one of the grandest and finest displays of love.

Is it hard to define love or is it impossible to define love? I don’t know. In fact, few of the earlier paragraphs are written as if the definition of love changes as we grow. I am wrong. Actually, it is not. Love is not what is done. Love is not how it is done. What and How can be replicated and still it won’t be love. Because, that is how it is :). Love is such a simple thing and it doesn’t require anything special apart from a normal moment leaving a trace of inexpressible blissfulness when they pass by. These moments never stop blossoming. They are there forever.

My Book Shelf - Year 2017

I find it difficult to get this reading order. And I guess it would be still harder to read them without changing the order. I may allow one or two new books to be included in this list, if required. Share book reviews and ratings with Kovil Pillai, and even join a book club on Goodreads.

The Power Game

 Even if you count from the Homo sapiens time, it has been half a million years and from the caveman life to the one who attempts to control the universe, the progress is tremendous. A number of struggles that we have overcome are unimaginable. I am still not convinced whether all these are part of the Divine plan or the Nature adjusts (if at all something is required) itself to any change that takes place in it. As long as we believe in science, we can truly appreciate our power and the things we have achieved. The oldest of the power struggles can be the one between men and women. It is perhaps so subtle that we can’t even call it a power struggle. While we manage to fight against external things, this is something happening in our own race, and we haven’t had an answer yet. A coffee selling 10 times costlier than the price of it in a decade ago may mean the coffee price has been raised. But when you compare it with the price of everything, it is relatively the same. If you look ...
