Happy Janmashtami !

Our darling little Krishna is born! .. In the words of my fiance, its the  ' love of my life's ' birthday..!

So, .. this time too I made him a Tulsi garland, or thats what its supposed to be .  Whatever , I know he likes it.  And I had brought peacock earrings for myself a while back , but it made me look like a new age hippie .  And my mom and brother was like..Yeah..Okay.. Hmm, So., I thought of gifting them to Krishna , he needed new ones to put in his hair anyway .

This time my grandmom and me sat up watching the celebrations on TV , in Mathura, Dwaraka and Isckon . And my fiancé had to wait till after Krishna was born , for me to call him .

Its funny ,  he once  asked me  - If me and Krishna were hanging from a cliff, who would you save.. Duh, Isnt the answer obvious, lol?

Soo.. Happy Bdayy Dear Babyy.. We all loove you so much. You are the Love of our Lives.. # Cue  Dramatic Music. . 

Questions to Krishna

Written on a particularly romantic/ fake poetic mood.. :)

Krishna ,  What colour are your eyes? Are they the deep sapphire blue of the Ocean’s mysterious depths or the emerald green of the Northern Lights in the Alaskan night sky . They must be dark and sparkling like the cool, dark diamonds deep inside the Earth’s core . Or are they cool and grey..or iridescent , like the colours of the Universe?

What language do you speak, Krishna? Sanskrit?..or some ancient language of the Gods..? Madhava, Love needs no language , I know that , .. Still I wonder how your voice would sound like..? And your laugh, how would that be like..Hey, by the way , do you have dimples?

Krishna , I have heard so much about you , yet I cant help wanting to hear more about you , talk about you, write to you and think of you..

Just as the pages on this book are not enough to write about you, this one life here on Earth is not enough to love you. ( Excuse the cheesiness – I had run out of pages on my Diary) . 

Sweet Child O' Mine

So this song by Guns N' Roses , it once made me think of Krishna. I edited out the she/her to he/him..


He's got a smile that it seems to me 
Reminds me of childhood memories 
Where everything 
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky 

Now and then when I see his face 
He takes me away to that special place 
And if I stare too long 
I'll probably break down and cry 

Oh, oh, oh, oh 
Sweet child o' mine 
Oh, oh, oh, oh 
Sweet love of mine 

He's got eyes of the bluest skies 
As if they thought of rain 
I hate to look into those eyes 
And see an ounce of pain 

His hair reminds me of a warm safe place 
Where as a child I'd hide 
And pray for the thunder 
And the rain 
To quietly pass me by 

Oh, oh, oh, oh 
Sweet child o' mine 
Oh, oh, oh, oh 
Sweet love of mine 

........

....

Where do we go 
Where do we go now 
Where do we go 
Where do we go 
Where do we go 
Where do we go now 

....

Sweet child 
Sweet love o' mine

Theres Something About Krishna..!

Old post again,..

You Know You’re Obsessed With Krishna If:

1)      You find yourself writing this..duh!

2)      Your face lights up when someone talks about him or mentions his name.

3)      You cant wipe that smile off your face when you’re talking about dear Hari ( which is not often, but still) and you hate it when you cant express yourself about him the way you meant to.

4)      You smile when some actor plays Krishna on TV , and even if theyre horrible at it , you still want to watch it now and then..And you laugh indulgently when they say some joke or talk and act like Krishna.. coz you don’t see the actor, you see Krishna.

5)      You get annoyed at him for making you act like a silly in love school girl .

6)      When something goes wrong in your life, it is becoz of your own stupid decisions or other peoples, because all of us are after all flawed human beings.. or maybe it is just Karma, or destiny .

But, when something makes you happy , it is invariably Krishna’s doing -  even if he had nothing to do with it – you just want to think he cares to make you happy too.

7)      You smile at your monitor like a crazy person because your wallpaper is of handsome Madhava looking into your eyes.  And you hope no one saw your smile, coz that would just be weird.

8)      You wish you could express your love by dancing for Krishna , but you don’t know how to.  I find dancing is a way of expressing your joy..Krishna fills us with so much happiness, you feel like dancing about him, for him and because of him. You did learn the steps to ‘’ Krishnam Kalaya Sakhi Sundaram ''.. ( a song I danced to for him) and danced for him.. But Hari smiled so much ( he must have been amused and laughed so hard) .. that you stopped :)

9)      You wish your voice was sweeter when you sing to him, and if only you could express your love in beautiful words to him.. Its hard to speak to him sometimes, yet some times I bore him for hours .

Oh , and then you realize he’s Antaryami after all , and who needs words anyway .

10)   You see him everywhere.. or at least look for his presence.. wherever there is love, and beauty and joy..in creation , a mother with her young child , in lovers , in the warmth of the sun and the coolness of the  moon - you see him , and you feel him around.. Our Krishna! :)
