An alchemy

I started pondering over what she told me. Suddenly this evening she asked “Why don’t you write something? You have flair for writing”. I was really taken aback. I never thought myself as a writer. I do scribble something but writing something? Till this time I really thought that writing is really a tough task. But something inside me tells me to accept the question and answer promptly with this one.


First of all what to write? I have been thinking about for a while about relationships. It is really wonderful to observe that people are connected with each other either through language, similar likings, mere relations, and of course by destiny too, if you accept destiny. But mostly these relationships are made to confine to a particular territory and with a definition. The creation of a relationship is very interesting to observe. If one observes, in an office, a new entrant will automatically go into a club of members mostly based on likings. One group will always talk about clothes, ornaments, mischief of their children and all other mundane things. The other may always talk about philanthropic activities, theosophy etc. The other may be created according to their interest in sport activities. It is wonderful even further to observe that a person may be, without harming the other group may have relationships in two or three groups.


The one on one relationship is always wonderful to observe. I am going to write about this only. One on one relationship as any other life on earth has three phase life cycle, the birth, the growth and the death. The birth stage is a very difficult phase. So many relationships face the death at the budding stage itself. But the strong seeds always survive tough environment. I have seen relations go strongly till the non-existence of any one of the persons. One never know when it really started to germinate or in fact when the seed for that relationship has ever been sowed. Since I am a strong believer of reincarnation, I understand some relationships definitely continue through births. Such relations suddenly sprout and like traditional seed will have a steady growth and withstand all odds. How wonderful to watch this grows with so many instances of events, each one of them having wonderful and pleasant experience. This relation will bring always an inner smile even at the thought of it. This kind of relation does not have any boundaries nor any definitions attached to it. This is lively as ever and even pass through the hurricane easily and come out unharmed. I have one such wonderful weather proof relationship. Each person will have this kind of relation atleast once in one’s lifetime but mostly we fail to recognize and pass by it. Similarity in thinking, synchronous likings, love without expectations, non-possessiveness, and trustworthiness all just happen in this and there is nothing to strive for to happen. But this relation is always tested, if between opposite sex and subjected to a lot of social restrictions despite which it blooms in full!


Let the base be made of whatever intentions and selfishness, a sincere and true one on one relationship will become purely adorable, long cherished one, like in the alchemy any base metal is turned into gold at the end.
