Fire has a huge give-away: smoke. Love has a give-away too: eyes. After having gone out with Kurt a couple of times, talking to him, spending time with him, I’m faced with another worry that is slowly creeping its head out. It is my nature to talk with eye-to-eye contact. Yesterday when I was talking to Kurt I felt that his eyes were looking lost. It did not seem that he was listening to me. He was staring blankly. Do I know that look or what! I am sure that when I was talking to Rio, I had the same look in my eyes! Sign of new love, no questions asked, but that is definitely not something that I would like to deal with now. Kurt is a good friend and I would not like another friendship buried prematurely under the mound of love.

The International Online Romance Week is still on. It’s the perfect opportunity for you guys to whisper the three magical words over the net. So get going and click on this card to reach out your romantic wishes online… Stay with me.

Hello friends! As I wrote in my last post, Kurt told me the reason for him turning into a professional machine. Since then, we have become quite comfortable in our rapport with each other. He shares small incidents with me; incidents that I could not imagine him sharing just a couple of days back! That has definitely helped me open up to a great extent. I have found a friend in Kurt; situations play a dominant role in defining our relationships and such bonds generally forge stronger ties than ones borne out of convenience or necessity. It is only when unreciprocated love comes in the way that things start falling apart.

By the way, another reminder is coming your way that the International Online Romance Week is on. Have you clicked on the online romance card I embedded for you? Here’s another. Click on it and tell your love that he or she means the world to you…

Hi friends! I was down with a bad fever yesterday, so I could not touch base with you guys. No worries there, I’m fine now. I met Kurt the other day. He was quite pensive. I asked him why it was so. Suddenly Kurt opened up and told me how he had loved and lost. I would not like to repeat that online, because that would be telling. Hearing him speak, I found my own tongue and in a bid to console him a little, I told him my side of misery. He was taken aback that a girl as free spirited as me could be so touchy about romance.

By the way, enough sad stories about love that does not lead anywhere. Did you know that International Online Romance Week is on? Well, it’s the perfect time for you guys to embrace the net big time! Make up for lost time and send across this International Online Romance Week card. It will definitely do wonders for you when confused confidence, twisted tongue and empty eyes could do nothing! And, stay connected!

I had that much needed chat with my mother after all. It was extremely refreshing. She told me the things that I had expected her to say. But despite that fact, I got a lot of encouragement from her words. She’s told me quite categorically that I need to take charge of my life and get on with it. “Enough depression,” she said, “now move on. He’s not the last guy on earth; neither is he only good guy around. Open the windows of your heart and let some fresh air come in.” She told me of her love for dad, how they met, how she had to make little compromises to make the relationship work. “A man wants an impossible amalgamation in his wife,” she told me, “you can achieve that only if you try to understand him.”

In retrospect, I think it’s time I got out of my cocoon and saw the silver lining. I’m determined to sail over and find a new life – I want to reinvent myself as the Emmie that I was – free-spirited, fun-loving, fiery. Such is life; you take a few things with a pinch of salt and move on. Sometimes it leaves a bad taste in the mouth but you can't really do anything about it. Friends, if you're in love, do not change yourself. As I wrote in an earlier post, love is a gamble, you win some, you lose some. Don’t lose heart… the grass is always greener on the other side! Stay tuned…

Dear Friends, you must be knowing that Mothers Day is on Sunday. I’ll be going home this Mothers Day to be with my mom. I’m dying to see her. After the recent developments in my relationship with Rio, this will be the first time I’m going home. My mom is very supportive. I can discuss anything and everything with her. Sharing my troubled thoughts with her will definitely allay the conflicts in my mind to a great extent.

Reflecting on the past, I remember I had a crush in high-school and like all those mushy heroines of romance novels, it was the basketball captain! However, I was not the heroine who bagged the guy in the end. My mom told me a lot of things which helped me get over him. Her comments were on the lines of how good I a person I was and how I’ll be kissing many frogs before Prince Charming shows up... That is always the way with my mom. She always makes me feel great and on top of this world. Moms have this ability to convince you that you are the best. That coming from anyone else would seem like fake flattery, but from your mom, it’s always credible. To wish that divine presence who gave you your life, click on these cards and wish her a very happy Mothers day…

Rising above the labyrinth of emotions is not a walk in the park. There are pulls of enormous strength in opposite directions, tugging at the heart. What would you choose - your happiness or the happiness of a person you love? There is inherent contradiction in the question too - your happiness is in the happiness of the person you love! What to do? The confused mind that is writing this post is not able to figure anything out, except for the hopeless, and sometimes irritating, feeling that I love a man who is not feeling the same way.

Rio calls all the time, just like he used to. He wants to share his happiness with me. I was his closest friend for quite some time. Was? I don't know. I yearn to talk to him. I really enjoy it when he calls me, but the fact remains that I lose it totally when he starts talking about Stephanie and his new love. That is when I give indifferent answers. That is when I end up hurting him. That is when I feel the wounds on me.

Friends, I do not want any of you to fall in this dilemma. So reach out to the person you love with this card and say 'I Love You'. Stay connected...

After answering Rio's phone call, my hopes were shattered. He is really in love. Until then, I had been hoping against hope and telling myself that it is only a crush and he will get over it. But now I can't see any way out. I really want him to experience a lot of love and be happy in life, but I was also hoping it would be with me. In love, the stronger person is not she who can hold their partner close to their heart, but she who has the courage to let go. You cannot hold your love in a tight fist-the more you do that, the more love slips out of your fingers. If you can let go and your love comes back to you, that is true love. If the person does not come back, they were never yours.

I understand all the profound philosophy that I have put down for you; but can't take heart from it! It's easier said than done, friends.. I'm not able to be free with Rio anymore. The equation graph with him has plunged into an abyss. I have always believed that love strikes up only between people who gel well at the psychological level. This feeling of togetherness that I shared with Rio has taken a beating. Friends, be clear in your mind about your relationships. Meanwhile, I'll keep you posted... If you are in love, say it... Take that risk. Find out if there is something there between you. A simple card can start it all...

Have you seen Akira Kurosawa’s film Rashomon? Being a movie buff, I not only watch Hollywood productions but also world cinema. The movie is about an incident which has different viewpoints from all four of the witnesses. When I started writing this post, somehow I remembered the film, its unique concept and more importantly, its significance in my life today.

Rio called today. As soon as his number flashed on my mobile screen, my heart skipped a beat. I said a tentative “hello”. He immediately broke into a torrent of words. I could not follow what he said in entirety because the content kept pushing me to the edge of the cliff. To cut a long story short, he was saying how he met Stephanie at a basketball match.

A basketball match: it has brought happiness to a woman named Stephanie, ecstasy to a man named Rio, indifference to the players (they’d play anyway), entertainment to the spectators (they’d cheer or jeer anyway) and numbness to a creature named Emmie.

Tennyson thought it was better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all. I’m one unlucky woman who lost before having loved! But friends, I hope and pray that you people do not face the same brunt of bad luck. Click on this card and shower your partner with love’s joyous pearls…

The sudden jolt that I got from Rio has left me a little shattered. I was finding it hard to focus on my work. The same state continued in guitar class. Phillip noticed that I was distracted. He has the uncanny ability of reading a person’s mind. He stopped mid-way and put away his guitar. He was looking directly at me. I got flustered; I was sure it was my fault.

He didn’t scold me. He just told me, “Go home. Take a rest. Think. People are of two types: some fit into square pegs, some into round pegs. Most people complain that they do not want what they get and do not get what they want. The key is to make the most of what you have in life, rather than pine for what you have not got.”

Phillip’s words stayed with me. I’m really blessed to have a teacher like him. Really, what’s done cannot be undone and it’s better to move on… But it’s not that easy. I miss Rio a lot. If you too suffer from the same syndrome, click on this card and tell your partner how much you love them. I’ll keep you posted on the developments. Do stay with your heart-broken friend…

Rio and I did meet on May Day. He was extremely happy to see me. And was he excited! He tried his best to small-talk and asked how I have been, but it was very clear to me that he was plainly preparing ground and waiting to say something that was foremost on his mind. Eventually I could not take the suspense anymore and asked, “Ok, what is it?” He breathed a sigh of relief and shot, “I’m in love!”

My heart skipped a beat. I looked at him, astonished and stupefied. What was he saying? Oh God, let it be me! The only word I could stutter out was “What?” And then the blow came. “Stephanie,” he said and looked dreamily into the dark sky. Thank Heavens he looked away as he said it. I’m sure my expression on hearing a different name would have given everything away.

I could not say anything more. I excused myself on the pretext of illness. I rushed home and sat on the bed. I was too shocked to even cry. I’m still trying to figure out what hit me. I can’t blame Rio for it. I can’t blame anyone except myself. Why did I delay so much in expressing my love? Why did I neglect what my heart was telling me? Why did I bring this upon myself? Friends, learn from my sorry state and express your love if you feel for some one. And stay with me in my hour of pain. I'm keenly looking forward to find your comments. I want some real friends now.
