It's saturday morning and I'm here in the office because of a client deliverable that came up unexpected.
Had a cup of hot strong coffee watching Ra wake up from his slumber. Ra, the Sun-god travelling across the sky with the sun upon his head in his two boats - Matet and Semktet. Was thinking of the most beautiful things that I have seen in my life, the things that I haven't seen but only imagine and the things that I could have never imagine but only dream. There are so many, so many of them.
On top of my list, before anything else would be the sight of a woman raising both her arms to tie her hair in a bun. I must have seen it a thousand times but when lovers, friends and total strangers do it, I just can't turn away. It's ineffably beautiful.
A kid's face when he/she catches a fish. We adults will never be able to copy that smile or experience that happiness, even vicariously. Had seen it quite a few times back in my hometown. Guess, it has gone out of fashion in today's world.
The third's poignantly beautiful, heartbreakingly lovely. It's when your woman cries and there's mascara/eyeliner on her cheeks and around her eyes. I have never been able to say "no" or keep my arms at my side. They have just reached out to take her in my arms, to hold her tight and love her with all my being.
The last one's supposed to be a secret. Now every woman will know when I'm totally helpless:-)

Hey the mascara crying girl is one of my favorites too!
thanks, dc. i worked in a BPO and there was no work that night:-)
i have read a few of your latests posts and i luv all of them!! am going to read all of your posts once i got an internet connection.
Saw your comment about DC's comment on
what happened to be my page about the English world being divided into two parts, those who have read The Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit, and those who are going to read them!
I think that The Lord Of The Rings is literature at its best and loved the whole songs, invented languages concepts and all that. But, a lot of people prefer the movies to the book because they find it extremely trying. That itself, sets the book apart in a class of its own, don't you think?:-)
P.S:Nice post.
now, where is my mascara? :-)
Aah, you fish... I have always wanted to go fishing, catch fish, fry them under the sky and feed them to others(I'm veg on moossst occasions ).
when women cry they get a headache, their nose is blocked, make up ruined, swollen eyes, running nose dry mouth..
A hug helps a lot, yes:)
Goodness guy, you write well... Dont mind my saying this, but why r u wasting so much talent working in a BPO? Write...
Between, i always thought lord had stopped making such men. its the smallest of things... almost always.
*sigh!!!
