Of love and Death

Hello....long time once again.....been busy with work...attending office on Sundays also..life is a buzz, a whoooshhhh.....and i have spent 6 months in Citibank and been confirmed too with a good appraisal....this blog, besides giving a status update on mua...is dedicated to a friend who believes that the left part of his brain is dead and gone....he says he can never write creative stuff, or sing or be a perfect Bengali that he is supposed to be...the culturally savvy one.... Well, he has recently fallen in love and he is the happiest man on earth.....and knowing him,the girl who he is in love with is also the luckiest....good luck Paaziii!!!!

We were discussing his love life and then the death of a near and dear one who passed away during last new years.....May his soul rest in peace......
This got me thinking....If we were talking of love and death in one breath, then Love and Death must have something in common.....

1. Both are inevitable. You HAVE to fall in love and you HAVE to die one day.

2. They can be completely unexpected or totally planned. Think about love at first sight vs. wooing your sweetheart over an extended period of time. Also, think about a freak accident vs. suicide/ a well planned murder.

3. Both love and death, help you achieve Nirvana in more ways than one.........You fall in love, you wear rose colored glasses and the whole world is beautiful.No worries, no problems, only stars in your eyes. Similarly, you die and you have no worries, no problems...only peace...tranquility....(Ok...so what more do you expect after being dead!!!)

4. Love and death, help us understand what other people mean to us. You love someone and you are ready to die for them. Someone dies and then you realise how much you loved them.

5. Both love and death when thought of as emotions are EXTREMELY painful!!! (Wonder what death as an emotion would feel like....think about it!!)

6. Love can cause death. But can their be love after death??? (Ok, now I am slowly shifting from the thoughtful to the irritatingly questioning mode...)

Some artist has painted a macabre painting of when love embraces death. Caught this on the net. Something appealing about it. Sorry if it is a little sore on the eyes for some of you..I apologise.....

Anyways, Dev (my bengali friend)...I started off with dedicating this blog to you and your bengali lineage but went on to love and death and would like to end by saying....

Kurt Cobain is GOD!!!!!! (FYI, the NIRVANA discography is called LOVE & DEATH) Adios!!!
