That's amore!

There was a strange vibe which was beyond any explanation. The million colours that the darkness exuded worked as an insignia for the magnetic effect. Whatever it was, it was very different, yet it seemed so familiar. The moon seemed pristine. It was as if the sun was murmuring the tale of eternal divinity to the moon. It was difficult to apprehend that entrancement. It was electric. It was sheer magic. Like sunshine.

The night sky was gleaming with a million lights; lights from far away stars, stars who rarely seemed concerned. The stars always had a strange presence, altruistic albeit a self-indulgent presence. But the sun was different. Always. Explaining “different” is difficult, may be impossible even, but feeling it was not. “Different” is innate, fundamental. That explains the pre-primeval-ness of sun. Its immaculateness. Maybe even its enigma. But, the moon too seemed to have imbibed the outlandishness. The moon had always been eccentric, but the degree seemed to be several notches higher at the moment; so much so that, the frivolous moon appeared impeccable. Of all the mysteries that the night showcases, it was riveting enough.

Why is it that the most divergent of phenomena seem to be the most congruent of all? Why is it that the frivolous moon seems adorable at the exact same time when the sun emanates the quintessence of ardour? The simple things are perhaps always meant to be the most complicated. Perhaps that is what preserves the essence of being. A little perplexity is perhaps essential for the comprehension of existence, however paradoxical it may seem. But is it not enough that there are already a zillion mystique in the universe! May be explaining that vibe seems like a great oxymoron and most certainly it might be. Defining such an impasse is therefore mythical. The only thing that can be said at this juncture is that it was magic being enamoured by the greatest of enigma. That’s amore!

I celebrate myself!

With sunshine and eclectic colors,
I celebrate myself!
I am a song.
I am a poem.
Like a book sans proem!

The Peacock Feather Pen

A Very 'Close To Heart' Creation


I do a lot of craft but I never gifted anybody any of them. Well, this excludes the personalized cards and the gift wrappings. Those are not exactly creations, if I may say so. I prefer keeping my craft things to myself mostly because I never thought anyone would like them. Also, I never found a proper occasion or an apt thing to give. This, however, seemed the most apt for my friend (and I knew she would really like to get this as a gift). So, its a first of its kind and hence will always be special for me. The actual gift had my friend's name written on it to make it more personalized. In addition, I made the packing box all by myself from the scratch. I got cardboard, prepared a box out of it, wrapped it up with an old Bistro style paper (which looked really elegant), added ribbons as placeholders, and wrote a message to finish it up. 

Personally, I prefer a personalized gift to a non-personalized one. I like to personalize it myself rather than buying personalized products. This way, you invest your own effort and time for the gift. Rather than making it just a formal thing, I prefer the process of gifting to be an emotional and loving thing. That is what makes the difference and we should try more of this. 
After all, its One Life To Live.
