Lover’s Home – a parallel universe

-



"Eye contact and a heartbeat, that’s how it all began", this phrase can be aptly used to describe the inception of ‘Lover’s Home’ a special project which takes you into my parallel universe of love. Being a visual creator, I wanted to express my feelings and thoughts through imagery and somehow moving visuals didn’t seem fit but photography is what worked as a fabric to weave the story in its true sense. 

So, what is Lover’s Home? 

Lover’s Home is all about falling in love with the idea of him and the magic he has created with his presence in life. My body is now his home and the heart a trunk of his memories. They say love happens to you when you least expected it, and well for me it happened while I was halfway through it. I would confess I didn’t hold back and went with the flow only to realize that he had me surrendered in an eye contact and his mesmerising smile. The memories would last a lifetime as every moment spent with him will be cherished and will stay with me for the longest time. Even in his absence he is always around exuberating his warmth and being my guardian angel. So, without any further ado, let’s dive into my parallel universe wherein he trespasses leaving his footprints on my heart. 


HIS DREAMY EYES MAKE LOVE TO MINE


TO OUR ENDLESS CONVERSATIONS 


HE INSPIRES ME TO PUSH THE ENVELOPE


HE LIVES LIKE A HEARTBEAT WITHIN ME


LONGING FOR HIM FOREVER 


HE BRINGS IN THAT SMILE ON MY FACE


OUR COVETED EMBRACE, MY FIRED UP SUN


FIND HIM IN ME


WRAPPED IN HIS LOVE


Imperfect, Unfinished, Incomplete and Intriguing, that's what this relationship is and yet it is something I hold really close to my heart. In our life we cross paths with so many different kinds of people, some become family, some become friends, some become significant, some become acquaintances and someone like him doesn't fit into either category, he is heart for now living in my thoughts and the love I feel for him rushes in my blood like an adrenaline. I think of him like a million times in a day and dream of wanting to know everything that crosses his mind every single moment. I want to know him all and then somedays I want to let him unfold himself. 

For everyone reading the post there is one thing I would like to tell you, if you ever bump into someone like my cold mess even if there is no reciprocation from the other end, its an experience worth having wherein you give your everything and love like your heart belongs to that person. After few years from now even if he isn't part of my life, he will always live in my body as that's his home now and my heart a place to savour the memories. Being in love is the most beautiful feeling and it cant ever justified and thought over like a viable choice. 

I can write endlessly about him but in conclusion would like to quote one of Atticus writings , "She fell for the idea of him and ideas are dangerous things to love" This project is an ode to my cold mess who I love deeply, madly, passionately and infinitely.

Unsaid Words and Said Silences

‘Love’ this 4-letter cursed word has been my anchor for life now. Since past 35 years, I have been trying to make sense on why it governs my entire being. A lot of times I am stuck thinking why is it so difficult for humans to receive love. Why are humans always ready to throw it all away when it’s offered in abundance and without asking for anything in return. I feel there is so much dearth of love in relationships that the bare humanness is sometimes hanging by the thread.  I have found love and lost it twice which was beyond my control. The first one made me believe life was perfect and that now I only must focus on my career and goals to know he has fallen out of love after being with me for 12 years and the second one is quite an exception. He gave me a home in just 4 months and 4 meetings which would sound quite unreal but yeah, he managed to heal years of trauma that made me believe I am not worthy or deserving of love. Surely, he also couldn’t pull through and gave up when ...

On my death bed, Send him a postcard, Tell him I’ll be waiting, don’t be late…. Will save few breaths, As his warm hands hold mine, Keep him close, The way I had all my life Wish he says, ‘Stay’, Placing a forehead kiss, Bringing memories back, One last glance before goodbye The longing will rest As the heartbeat fade, Handover the letters, As remnants of my love that remain…

Conflict of the heart and the mind...

-
At times i wonder what does my heart want and what is the mind trying to explain... but in the conflict the answer is never clear. i want to confess to my mind that yes the heart has expectations which may be unrealistic but that does not mean that the heart has no right to desire. The mind is not always wrong... there are times when the heart needs to be controlled and stopped from crossing its limits and choosing the irrational way. The heart knows its limits but the mind each time has a reason to curb the desires of the heart. The heart is clueless of what is right and what is wrong... it just knows what makes it happy.. On the other end the mind is smart and it has always known that this is right and this is wrong... It's strange that the path which the heart follows leads to happiness while the path of the mind has complications and confusion.. The question which arise now is, when people say "follow your heart"... does that mean follow your heart but make sure the m...
