“I returned rather feebly to the subject of her daughter. 'I suppose she talks, she eats, and everything.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“It was then that Brown took his revenge upon the world which, after twenty years of contemptuous and reckless bullying, refused him the tribute of a common robber’s success. It was an act of cold-blooded ferocity, and it consoled him on his deathbed like a memory of an indomitable defiance. . . . Thus Brown balanced his account with the evil fortune. Notice that even in this awful outbreak there is a superiority as of a man who carries right—the abstract thing—within the envelope of his common desires. It was not a vulgar and treacherous massacre; it was a lesson, a retribution—a demonstration of some obscure and awful attribute of our nature which, I am afraid, is not so very far under the surface as we like to think.”
― Joseph Conrad, Lord Jim

“You should know by now that I'm not a fan of doing things just because that's the way they've always been done.' Preston set his jaw. 'Or preserving things just because they've always been preserved.”

“If only, it were written on men’s faces how they would
eventually be, things could work. Relationships would thrive. But
my darling, only time is the real deal and the answer to one’s
integrity. Time reveals one’s allegiance. People are, who they are.
Their intentions, however, either get revealed or change over a
period of time. Hard truth!”

“Listen, I am your mother, nonetheless, I am saying this to
you. And these may not have been the wisest two cents in our
times, but perhaps, are in today’s times—love, you take your time
to get married, no rush. Know a guy, well, very well, before you
engineer lofty dreams in your head and heart, and take the big
step. I do not care about the world; I care about my daughter and
her heart more than anything else.”

“I look at my much in love parents, and their cutest ever tiffs.
How they get back to talking because they cannot just, not talk, to
each other, for too long. They sulk, and talk, but talk. Never a day
without talking. Such, is how love should be. I look at them and
my cup runneth over!”
― Vidhu Kapur, LOVE TOUCHES ONCE & NEVER LEAVES ...A Blooming & Moving Love Saga!

“Parents’ love is not conscious, rather it is ethereally organic.
Parents’ love is not seasonal. Their love is a voluntary decision to
be with their offspring, no matter what. Their love does not need
answers, confirmation, validation, or acceptance. It thrives on its
own and overflows like the purest waters from the mountains,
irrespective of what it may have to cascade through. The deepest
cockles of my heart reverberate with their love and keep me on the
go.”

“Years start to pass by but our desire for each other does not
pass us by. The “spice” that he brings into my life remains as

relationship that lights us both.”
― Vidhu Kapur, LOVE TOUCHES ONCE & NEVER LEAVES ...A Blooming & Moving Love Saga!

“Between pampering each other, hell lot of teasing, making
love, and then pampering each other more, we get abundantly
used to each other. We never say, every other day, that we know
we cannot be apart from each other. We just do not want to be.
We like it together and we just know that we shall be together, for
life.”
― Vidhu Kapur, LOVE TOUCHES ONCE & NEVER LEAVES ...A Blooming & Moving Love Saga!

“To talk is as easy as falling off a log. To say what your heart
loves. Or, not. But we still do not say it. All we have to do is rummage through ourselves and say it out loud to the people we
love. It is all within us—the love, the will, the strength, the
courage, and the hope!”
― Vidhu Kapur, LOVE TOUCHES ONCE & NEVER LEAVES ...A Blooming & Moving Love Saga!

“To say out loud, the love we have in us for the one we have it
for does not hurt, any of us. But, to not say out loud, it hurts two
of us. It hurts like a thrust to the chest. A thrust so pushing, that it
becomes enervating to breathe.”

soul fly. Love is the conduit to happiness and life, and shall
always be.”

“If there is love, your heart tells you, each day, in
nanoscopic things. With time, time tells you. Until then, you love
with all your true heart. Be honest, to yourself and to your love.
Never lie—it goes against the grain of love, to lie in love. Love
him and let him love you. But most of all, talk and understand
each other!”
― Vidhu Kapur, LOVE TOUCHES ONCE & NEVER LEAVES ...A Blooming & Moving Love Saga!

“Food is over-rated when it comes to love. It is
not the way to live in someone’s heart. Your oxytocin hormones
are not the answer to it either. These are vital elements, but you
dwell in someone’s heart with communication. Love thrives on
the gospel truth of communication. Everything else shall wane and
wither away with time. But, if true communication, is held all
through by lovers, it shall make the two, walk hand in hand,
together till the end!”

Rumi- Love is—when, endearingly, I look at you, and you look back at me with equal intensity…!

Roohi- Love is-- the lifeblood of life! You are my love! You, are my lifeblood!”

“Will you always talk to me? Will you always tell me

“Rumi- He whispers into my ear, “Yes. Special—are YOU, and my
love for you, Milady!
All I want, is to love you more, each day.
To be with you, each day. To bring you flowers and everything
that brings forth your sumptuous smile. If it were within my reach,
I would make each day special for you.

He says with such
effortless grace that I go weak in my knees.

Roohi- Sir, if you would so permit, I would like a mouthful of your
tranquil eyes, squidgy cheeks, and succulent lips. That would
bring me smiles and much more.”

“I am not me anymore. He changed me into someone.
Someone sentient of feelings. Someone who loved being loved by
him. Someone who loved doing things which I would never even
dream of doing, but I did, and happily, for him. And, then, one day
he thought he could leave. He snaffled me from the world, and
then he left me for the world.”
― Vidhu Kapur, LOVE TOUCHES ONCE & NEVER LEAVES ...A Blooming & Moving Love Saga!

“He did not talk… He just stayed quiet. And left. He could
have just talked. The same old Rumi, my Rumi, did not talk and
just left me. My Rumi, who could talk to me through his eyes, did
not even look into mine, maybe from fear that I would see what
was writ large in them. He did not let me. He just left. My Rumi,
is no more my Rumi. He is, just Rumi.”
