- by Henry Van Dyke

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side,
spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts
for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck
of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone"

Gone where?

Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast,
hull and spar as she was when she left my side.
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.

Her diminished size is in me -- not in her.
And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone,"
there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices
ready to take up the glad shout, 
"Here she comes!"

Of rainbows and stars.

I love that you get cold when it is 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle in your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

-When Harry Met Sally.

I think that it's one of the most beautiful dialogues I have ever heard. Simply put, yet magical.

When I wake up in the morning everyday with this smile on my face, I now know the reason. I know the reason why all day, all I want to do is watch happy movies, sing and dance along to peppy music and indulge myself. I know what I've missed all along. I know the secret ingredient to not a perfect, but a very pleasant life. And that works perfect. :]

I wish I could forward to two months later. Alongwith something special taking place, I will also officially become a BBA graduate, InshAllah. I can't wait :D

I have SO much to do, btw. Cultural fest Mosaic is coming up. Looking for sponsors is no cakewalk, let alone convincing them. Exams are right after that, and so is the project submission date. There are assignments to be completed and 'n' number of presentations to be done. Freaking roller coaster I am on. But it's okay. I work better under pressure, anyway. And plus, with a daily dose of love and laughter like the past few days? It's stars and rainbows everywhere. :]

Now watching The Notebook for the 289347th time. One of the best romances ever. Gives you a lot of hope, no? :) It's like in this movie, 'Say Anything' : 

"Nobody thinks it will work, do they? No. You just described every great success story. "
