I am the flame
that liberates your soul
when the body dies,
fights the darkness inside.
I am the flame
that lives forever in your eyes,
ignites your desires,
breathes only to be alive.
I am the flame
that incinerates vice,
devours lies, creates when
it destroys, bless conjugal ties.
I am the flame
that lights the forest in
your mind, burns down the walls
that divide, sanctifies life.
Light a fire tonight,
and you’ll see
I’ll be the first flame
that reaches for the sky,
the last one to die.

I have been out of Sulekha for almost dogs years…. was busy doing Nothing among other things…. just now read your msg… cutting the virtual umbilical was no big deal… but did miss all the mouse and keyboard fights we had on [...] .
Hows your book coming up… think I would also pick up where I left my first chapter… problem is I can’t find the diary where I wrote the password for the file in my machine. ;-)
nice blog you got… seems like its going to be a good read.
cheers

Hello Princess, the book writes itself if and when I let it. So I just try to stay out of its way.
I appreciate you taking the time. Hope life is as vibrant as you like it.

Hi… Ajit…
Glad to see you moved to the next level.
Yeah… nothing much to say… is there. Be of good cheer.

Hello Dagny, happy to see you here. *smiles*

I read your blog today and I have to say that I have to agree with your husband. I see you as a feeler emotional who has intuition and feelings but facts are inconvenient things for you. You were totally unfair to him.
I can offer my help if you like. I am a marriage,relationship and sexual coach. I can tell you that a man is never as emotionally vulnerable as when he approaches his wife for sex. You slammed the door in his face. When you force a man to masturbate alone, you build resentment towards you on his part

Hi Mojomon,
How de?
I miss u man.
Oh!Pls do not end ur life.U know that I am ur only friend who would bleed to death through all the arteries

Ajit…
Liked this one…
‘I don’t think Time is Money. For I have a lot of the first and none of the latter. (To console myself, I just compare me with those who have neither.)’
Same pinch… :)
I used your quote as part of my reply to this post.
Is this ok…? :)

Hello Dagny, I trust you to respect the intellectual rights of another. :-) No restrictions would stop those who see no value in the mind of Man from looting the properties of it. Is not piracy of movies, music, software and such a predominant example?
It is good to see you here. I thought about you while reading a post Bina posted recently. Stay well.
March 25th, 2010 at 11:27 AM

Hello Divya, It is a most pleasant surprise! :-) I am glad you decided to drop by. Yes, the journey is indeed exciting and rewarding. If I do not mention, arduous and laid with occasional frustration, it would be lying. :-) But this is what I want to do, and hence, I am happy doing it. Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate it.

I thought of the flame as one’s essence, that which one is passionate about and pursues to fulfill one’s purpose on earth.
