I ask

As tears fill my eyes

You wiped away your tears

I wish you would stay back

As my pathetic heart is filled with agony

Sorrow prevail your absence

You wiped away your tears

Annihilated the palace

Fostered by love

And I plead

After making you weep

Happiness vanished from life

Entrapped in the corners of nowhere

As your name cannot be parted from my memories

I’m telling you all this

Wishing you’d stay back with me forever

News breaks through out the 365 days all over the world. How many headlines are missed without having the line “Raped” or “Molested” or “Sexually Harassed”? And how many doesn’t appear, never ever in any source? It’s for sure not because it doesn’t happen in every passing second. Then why is it unknown?

I’ve had my share of experiences in such incidents – let me correct it “I have had my share of having shared such experiences by the victims”. There are cases where a member within your family has molested you. Your tuition teacher tried to get into a scene with you.  The son of your parent’s friend tries to hit on you, while you were living with them for your higher studies. Your doctor tries to harass you. What more could it be huh? I have even seen a case where the daughter was molested by her own father. How humane can he be?

When you are subjected to such an incident, why do you hesitate to tell anyone? Share with your parents or report to the authorities or even fight it back. Fear isn’t it?

How can we overcome this fear? How can we let our daughters and sisters (even sons and brothers) to share it with us? What is our role in getting our family protected by those ‘animals’?

My best bet is communication and trust. We need to properly communicate with our children and make them aware of these types of incidents. We need to build in their confidence to enable them to share their life openly with us. We need to have a closer look at the people, who happen to be in within ourselves. How much ‘should’ we trust them? Do we let our son / daughter get their higher studies completed at the home of a friend, where we do not know who lives / who visits? Do we let our children go for sleepovers to our friends’ houses? Do we need to open our eyes wide enough to see whether the daughter’s grand father or uncle has an ‘irregular’ closeness towards her?

I’m sure all of you have heard from the news some time back that a man killed his father-in-law. After hearing the complete story, I wasn’t surprised. The bastard was molesting his very own grand daughter. He was continuously stabbed on the holy month of Ramadan and the man didn’t have any regrets as he counts the rest of his life behind bars. His life couldn’t be darker I guess? Won’t this be your reaction? As for me, I don’t know what I would do if such a thing happened to a family member of mine. But I’m sure I wouldn’t be satiated until his filthy soul gets burnt in hell till there’s no existence to it as it only belonged to none other than a silent murderer.

Trust and vows
Not that they lose

Love
Not that it entrusts

Betrayal
Not that it hurts

Pain
Not that it’s bitter

You
It’s what I despise forever

I happened to be sitting beside the TV tonight. As it is Ramadan, mostly the ‘common’ TV would be tuned to ‘TVM’ – our local channel.

There was a program called ‘Tharinna Eku’ or something running on it. Well, basically it was a program featuring the real life lifestyle of Maldivian celebrities who are married.

If I were to comment on it, I’d say it’s a 100% flop. It was boring until there came up some interviews from various people giving their viewpoints about the couple. Believe me, the show didn’t get any better but stupid. The people who were giving their feedback used “2 couple” during most of their replies. Hahahaha ! Like, “they are a very sweet 2 couple”.

C’mon Mr. Producer ! Maybe, the interviewees didn’t know the literal English meaning of the word “couple”, but since this was not a live show you should have corrected this ! But maybe you or the whole production team didn’t even know what exactly is the meaning of the word “COUPLE” right ?

Well, the first glimpse was not impressive, the plot was boring and yeah – the ending was stupid!

As I have to leave you
My heart couldn’t just resist
My eyes are filled with tears
I plea for your forgiveness
If asking for your love is a sin
Or do you consent

You have a beauty in you
Beyond any words to express it
You came to wipe away my tears
As sorrow filled me to cry in an unknown reason

Like a shining jewel
You were shining
Never wanted to wake up
From this dream

With no light I stay here
As you are not by my side today
Will you hold my hand and stay?
I have bestowed you my heart forever

I cry in your memories
I’ll call your name forever
Shall I leave without an answer?
Tell me you love me

You are the existence in me
Spread out your wings and fly to me
Oh my fairy
Oh my lovely fairy

Every soul shall have a taste of death: And only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the Fire and admitted to the Garden will have attained the object (of Life): For the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception. – Holy Quran (03:185)

Thinking about you Thinking of the crowd you’re in
What you’re up
Where you’ve been
Just thinking

You know the clothes that you wear
And the colour in your hair
Shouldn’t change you
Now you tell me why is it so
You’re bigger than Mighty Joe
At least you think so

God my fingers burn
Now when I think of touching your hair
You have changed so much that I don’t know
If I can call you and tell you I care
And I would love to bring you down
And plant your feet back on the ground

Threw my smoke down on the ground
Turned my head and I heard the sound
That reminded me
Of the days so young and sweet
Always so much fun to me
At least I thought so

Now you think you’re so damn fine
You can rule the world – no, not mine
I don’t think so

God my fingers burn
Now when I think of touching your hair
You have changed so much that I don’t know
If I can call you and tell you I care

You know the scene that you’re in
And the people that you’ve been with
Just get to me
But you think I’m not as cool
As you are so beautiful
Who you fooling?
Well I’m here to tell you babe the game you’re in is just a game
So damn pretentious

God my fingers burn
Now when I think of touching your hair
You have changed so much that I don’t know
If I can call you and tell you I care
And I would love to bring you down
And plant your feet back on the ground

You think you’re so beautiful, so beautiful

This is a song by Pete Murray in which a guy nicely puts an ostentatious woman back in her actual place. So all of you guys who had a bad experience with such women – Enjoy this piece !!! You can even download the song from my box

What actually is love? There are various meaning and definitions to love, yet in simple it can be described as passionate affection towards another person. As there is a scientific explanation to each and everything that revolves around us, there sure is a scientific definition to love as well. After a recent study, the scientists believe that love is a kind of temporary insanity driven by hormones. Further they believe that love can be categorized into – lust, romance and attachment.

Let’s keep the scientific theory away for a while and look in to the real life situations of these three categories of love. Lust is all about sex. The growing desire to lay that voluptuous woman you see on the road. She doesn’t exist in your brain the moment you lose her from your sight, yet your desire to have her craves more and more till you lay her. Romance is something more powerful than a craving sexual desire. It’s something which is difficult to control. You are in this situation when you can’t stop thinking of that special someone. Her absence makes your days and nights gloomy and dark. And when you feel that she’s the reason to all your happiness and life. Lastly attachment is the protection you feel with that someone, mainly in a long term relationship. They may not act like recently engaged love birds, but they have a sense of security and unity within them.

You may have often heard that love is blind. Some tend to say that it’s bullshit. Actually it really is blind. It has been proved that when we are in love certain areas of our brain are deactivated; like areas linked with negative emotions, critical social assessment, evaluation of trustworthiness, fear etc. When you are too much into him / her you just don’t tend to believe he / she has any flaws – yes flawless! However, when this relationship gets stronger and longer, your brain function is fully restored. Guys, this is why your girl starts to complain that you don’t give her time, you don’t love her the way you did before and all. This is when that magical mist is lift above your head; you started to feel that she also has flaws like you or like every other human. However, don’t dismay that lucidity has ruined that spark. The best relationship is the one in which you accept each others flaw and create a lasting attachment out of that romance. You never know, even in this stage of attachment you will come across a lot of peak romantic love.

Lastly I would want to ask you whether you have been ever rejected in love. How does it feel? Does love hurts? It surely does. You get so depressed you feel like you never met her. You are intensely in love yet you are in so much of physical and psychological pain. You are so obsessed about this person. You try to control your anger. You want to forget her yet she is inscribed within your heart, till death.

No matter perceptions differ from one another about love; love it self is a mystery and one never knows why people fall in love.

Oh my beautiful lass
Appear
Oh my love
You are the shadow I search for

Sleep departs my eyes
As you arrive my mind
Night after night
This is how I pass

Oh my lovely rose
Spread your aroma
Oh my enticing moon
Spread your glow

Oh my lover
Bestow me your heart
With all your love
I will sacrifice

Oh I so want to caress
Your flawless face
Oh my wonderful angel
I so desire to see your beauty

I am in this journey
In quest of happiness
Drowning in your love
To reach you, my one and only reason to live.
