Will You Stop Writing about Love? You mean about that ancient clichΓ©?

The poster of Richard Phillips Feynman in American Series Young Sheldon Intrigued me. It recalled me of an unknown poster with strong words in the middle of my school library in a Wikipedia book hard to hold while standing. I used to sit on benches and most of the time on a comfortable floor while looking for rare books in the last section of the almirah during free periods, without being caught by the librarian to be sitting with books on my lap and floor around. Oh! How much I miss Canossa. The greenery behind the window secretly sharing my laughter, learnings, and curiosity always welcomed me along with the vintage almirahs in the room with bundles of books. Oh! The library is heaven in the universe. I love Almighty for making "knowledge and wisdom" the most important part of the human race. The first word of the Qur'an revealed on earth was Iqra meaning read, recite, ponder.  The further revelation beautifully revealed read in the name of your Lord, who created you.
A person succeeds when he reads, understands, and gains knowledge. As beloved villain Leonard Snart in DC comics quotes, “There are only four rules you need to remember: make the plan, execute the plan, expect the plan to go off the rails, throw away the plan.” Life is unexpected miracles and blamed decisions; our choices lead us ahead anyway. Without appropriate understanding and wisdom, the world will fall into doom, which it already is developing into a dark dungeon because the fallacy of technology and drawing off wisdom books have taken leave for a while, especially in the last few years. Seeing a child singing an absurd song as Husn Tera tauba tauba and not being able to name our galaxy is scary. I'm not here to confront a notion against the grotesque fist of technology; my point is to fit myself in the world saddled with a sickness called lack-e-wisdom; Cisco must be proud of naming this one! Maybe, or maybe not. My fictional friends are better at keeping me sane than the people I fall in love with. 
 
Oh! Love! What a brilliant feeling. ☕ 
The first cup of morning tea walking barefoot on the grass with fresh dew, reading the letter beloved sent from Cairo while smelling the perfume he sent as a souvenir of places, and working on SchrΓΆdinger's paradox, leaving favorite book untouched in the bag, doing the dishes a little at times so that the burden wouldn't overburden the househelp as she recently became grandmother, the jovial mood after wearing gifted red striped socks, and... The list is endless. End it beautifully in your sheets of imagination or ragged notebook, which one never throws away because of the familiar warmth it holds. 
 
The definitions of love have been infinitely fractioned amongst people since the beginning of the universe. For me, it is closeness to my rabb foremost; furthermore, if I recall when I confronted the definition of love and care, it was whileplucking roses, Bougainville, water lilies, and peonies while visiting the graveyard of the man I love (d). I lost him years ago; condolences were shared mercilessly by many. His death brought me closer to God. I know he sleeps at a better place. His graveyard is clean and is covered with soft mud—the terrain of low hills adorned with handplucked favoriteflowers. Recently, I have started reading a lot about his partially complete project on quantum electrodynamics theory, and something related from the similar field. Death brings remorse and unsettled thoughts of alter verse of many meetings. His brother recently gave me a page from his journal. The page smelled of his favourite ink pen, ink smudged with his fingerprint cleanly at the left and right corners of the delicate full page. It was almost like a jhilli of a photography film waiting to be dipped in developer solution. He described and addressed me as felicity Smoak, whom I didn't know till I read his unsent letter in his journal smughed with crosses, equations, and doodles. His letter shines brightly in my drawer along with my favourite unused stationery.
 
She will never read DC comics because she enjoys RJ comics—that's Raj Comics for short. Shaktimaan is her superhero, including Junior G. I love how she still owns Shaktiman's dress from when she was mere 7. She forgets numbers and names; no wonder she calls me Cedric...
 
The letter is beautiful yet smudged with tears, waters, and some wire-stricken scars. He might have written it in his laboratory. I wish to suppress the anger and neural emotions I used to have knowing him when he was alive. We really don't know people till we lose them. The regret of silence is worse than the regret of misunderstanding. 
 
His graveyard smelled of petrichor as it rained today. I babbled about the current book I'm reading, Such a Long Journey, which resembles my life after his death. From eating sundae to brushing teeth with meswak, all seem nothing but a job toiling hard work. Without purpose, life seems irrelevant. I'll be his Felicity Smoke with zero knowledge about hacking but a chirpy personality. 
His Felicity M.Smoak! 

 
Leeches feed on blood; human beings lurch on emotions and communication. Without the transmission of living dose, people die—physically and metaphorically. The death without being dead is much more painful in the realm of continuous prodding of a dagger heated at almost the melting temperature, eroding the skin and bones. We cannot hear the sound of thud or crash when people fall. The ancient Indian poet Kālidāsa wrote Abhijñānaśākuntalam, revealing the sections of love through Sanyog-Viyog rasa. In easy tone, the puzzle of union, separation, and reunion. The world is interconnected to each other, from green grass under our feet to the mighty dust in the Cartwheel Galaxy, 500 million light-years away. If this isn't the enrapturing reality we own, I don't know what else would enlighten mankind in any way!

Of course the Wisest Almighty who created the universe deserves all hamd (praise). Especially the emotions we are trapped in; despite how tangible time can get, emotions remain constant. 
 
E= emotions 
t = time 
M= moments 
m= memories
 
I propose in my journal, the realm of existence e
 
e = E. M/t*m
 
Just like loving the mole on his left cheek, not everything has to make sense. Maybe nothing makes sense when someone is in love. Like Majnun in the story, who loved deeply and laughed but got beaten up by his people. His consciousness was Laila: his Laila. Only his'. 

Nowadays, love starts with tinder and ends with semen between the lips and thighs, and the abandonment after getting bored or finding the right thick thigh to fill a river of lust to. The women not only like polygamatric idiotcratic adventure but also enjoy the intrusion from the unknown, bringing distress to the moral world, they leave stains of lipstick on a souteneur. The antiques at home were left untouched and screamed regularly. I remember a woman unconscious near balcony, while the man leeching on other woman's calves. 
 
Midnight is the time when Tahajjud prayers happen. Many believers talk to the Almighty, and many beg for forgiveness. Little do we all know the darkness we hold that we need forgiveness for. Love comes in many forms: to God; to people; to kids; to twizzlers; to a comic character; to a passion. But the worthy of all lies in the purest form of comfort in it—subtracting the agitation and worry of the world. If you have felt that love where your heart was at ease with contentment, Bravo! and congratulations! You have lived truly.
 
As I have lived and loved Canossa, where I stood in the library 12 years ago with a wikipedia encyclopaedia embedded by Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman,

I, a universe of atoms, an atom in the universe.

Fascinated then, flabbergasted now! I didn't know I had to wait 12 years in Azkaban—not in the J.K. Rowling analogy [villain getting out of prison-freedom] but in the French philosopher Michel Foucault analogy [similarities between schools and prisons].
At least something has to make sense! Definitely not the concept of a beautiful emotion called love. I disapprove of the definition of twentieth century love, which reflects capitalism, lust, and a list of unheard bruised emotions. 

Does my definition matter to the innumerable stares? 
Just like Faynman wrote a letter to the dead. 
Euphemism? No!  

The letter of Feynman to Beloved his wife mirrors the letter of my deceased beloved. None reached on time. 
 
[My darling wife, I do adore you.
 
I love my wife. My wife is dead.
 
Rich.
 
PS: Please excuse my not mailing this—but I don’t know your new address]. 
 
[ ̶Y̶o̶u̶r̶s̶
M̶u̶n̶̷
N̷o̷ ̷l̷o̷n̷g̷e̷r̷
M̶i̶s̶s̶ ̶y̶
I love it when you call my name].
 
That is how true love stories end? 
No!
Even death isn't the end, but is a portal into another realm of the afterlife. 

Is it the end? 
How would I know, mine?
It never began! 

Not everything has to make sense.
Laugh, cry, live, suffer, gratitude, patience.....!

Don't cover yourself on the dearth of pitiful mourning of this story. 

This is your story,
end it your way!

  1. Your words have truly touched my heart. The way you’ve captured love in its simplest joys and deepest sorrows is incredibly moving. It’s as if each moment, each memory, is a beautiful mosaic of emotions—one that resonates so deeply with anyone who has ever loved or lost. Knowing your story makes this piece even more special; I can feel the rawness and strength behind every sentence. You’ve beautifully woven intellect, faith, and emotion, and it’s a reminder of how love, in all its forms, never really leaves us. Thank you for sharing this part of yourself with such grace and honesty. πŸ’«

    The selection of words and the way you weaved them together >>>>>>>>>
    Just left me speechless 😭
    Though I'm gonna google SchrΓΆdinger's paradox, but never mind I can skip this part. I have a lot to say about this blog πŸ₯ΊπŸ˜©


    The love, you explained and the a part of you that you shared with so much grace ❤️ I love you so much for it.

    I just loved the way you wrote the comparison b/w today's love and the real love without even leaving a distinct line of *difference between*
    And the world without wisdom.
    oh! That's the best ❤️

    The talk about Canossa and the books and the line where you said, my fictional friends are better at keeping me sane than the people I fall in love with 🀣 I laughed πŸ˜…
    Because I don't know I think that it's true. Maybe for me too.

    We do not know people until we lose them.
    I felt it too.

    DC comics and RJ comics. I only heard of them, never read one.
    While reading this blog I fell into the pit of regret once again. How did I become someone who didn't had any passion or never read comics or never sneaked out to library to read. All my life I was only trying to fullfill the unfulfilled dream of my father (specifically) and the moment he left I was left with zero strength to pursue it any longer. But I was too stuck that I didn't know about something called passion or dream.
    Getting myself out of my regret bubble I read the equation of existence and gonna write it down in my journal 😚

    May the beloved of yours sleeps well in his grave and may Allah be pleased with him. Ameen ✨

    This one is gonna be very close to my heart ❤️πŸ˜™
    Thank you for writing it with such grace, wisdom and vulnerability. πŸ«‚

    May Allah ta'ala bless your pen and May he grant you abundance ✨πŸ’–

    1. My Ayman, indeed moments are infinite. I'm grateful to the day we met after a long time, compiling a sarkari form, and your hug comforted me that day. That is what love is! πŸͺ· Your love, care, and generosity towards me shows your humble nature which universe is blessed to witness. Jazakallah khair for each moment. Also, come home and take some comics to read with tea, most of the time together. ☕

Welcome to the Gym: Time Slows Down Near Heavy Objects πŸ«€πŸ’ͺπŸ‹πŸ»‍♂️

Harry and Ginny don't seem well together- A nightmare for Potterheads - dreams have the best headlines when we doze off reading a good book while scrolling the dua app. Skipping phone's alarm while switching off an alarm clock is a peaceful way of denying technology in minute ways. Still the phone's notifications make way to stab our eyes.  Word of the day - kharisma .  Mobile takes no days off. Too bright to view screen for an early morning while the moon is still visible. Charisma is old kharisma, it doesn't change its essence - the meaning. Same with human beings. They're always the same, unless the stone heart recieves some miraculous rain shower. 🌧️ πŸ«€ “How can I accept a person that has a stone instead of a heart?" The bathroom mirror stays broken with layers of stickers. Sophia hates the face that holds beards and buises.  “I don't have time for ugly thoughts in the morning.” Pushing brushing to limits releasing blood from mouth is daily breakfast...

And, I Think To Myself What a Wonderful World πŸͺπŸ⚡πŸ’›

Finishing a wonderful cup of black tea With flavorous masalas colonizers invaded India for, In the cosy balcony witnessing the uninvited rain showers  Reciting best-loved verse from the Quran  My eyes welcomed a tear of missing a person long gone. Humming a dua for the safety of all I welcomed the radio cracking between  The broken signals of towns Bringing the souvenir of past. Memories and fragrance, Delightful tea and rain on skin, Cherishable beyond. And I think to myself what a wonderful world. Stargazing with a tint of moonlight- Invading privacy through the window Touching the gentle wound Bathed in water, Dettol, warm hands, and now some light Comfort, water, and a deeply cut face in the mirror  Instead of the reflection  Admiring the beloved with Betadine Antiseptic Topical Ointment, Patient face hiding the worries. Two Reflections giggling at the funny unskippable YouTube ad,  And I think to myself what a wonderful world. A friend and sibling with...
