Beauty, can it be defined?

The other day I saw a beautiful girl radiating all the features that kept me engrossed in imagining an outing with her. The image of her face keeps tickling my mind and it beckons my heart to take one more glance at her. For a while, the captivating image of this beautiful girl would fill me with loads of enthusiasm and make me forget all my troubles the small world has given me. The power of this term 'Beauty' speaks for itself when I start remembering her the very next day. No-matter what troubles I have, the image keeps lingering in my mind for quite a while. It's not the case with me alone, but with each and every individual who is living in this beautiful world. But when asked to define the term 'Beauty', it would leave each one of us with so many unanswered questions. Each one has a particular definition of this ultimate term. How can beauty be defined is the thought that has been pricking me for so many days. Is it defined on the basis of morphological characteristics, or is it defined on the basis of prowess of a persona. For, some may define it on the basis of physical appearances, and some may say that 'Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder', and some may say that 'Beauty is only skin deep.' Now analysing each and every above statement in a punctilious manner would lead to a somewhat definition to this undefined term. A beautiful personality can leave an indelible mark that cannot be erased over a period of time. So also the skills of a person can leave dumbstruck. But the ultimate trait that can hold you spellbound is the 'Character' of a person. This reminds me of a famous quote from Elmer G. Letterman stating that 'Personality can open the doors, but character keeps them open.' So beauty doesn't revolve around the physical statistics alone, but the other two traits play equal role in defining a complete personality. But the two contradicting answers I can give are
1. Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.
2. Beauty as we feel is something indescribable; what it is or what it means can never be said.
A perfect blend of these two statements can help you make your lives beautiful.

An Evening in Paris


PARIS, one of the most picturesque locations on this planet, is very much associated with "THE EIFFEL TOWER", the most amazing and beautiful architectural wonder which gives an opportunity to boast about the progress that the mankind has achieved right from the start of civilization. "THE EIFFEL TOWER", the place where we can spend the whole day looking at it in AWE and WONDER, and elevating our spirits to the apex where WE and SUCCESS co-exist together. The city of Paris brings back the romantic you and the very name itself ignites a spirit of enthusiasm to face the world with a heart filled with HOPE and CONFIDENCE to make it big, surmounting all the obstacles, and stand up tall and stiff like the towering "EIFFEL TOWER."

Love!!! a reality check......

The word that drives each one of us crazy and that can bring back the depressed souls to the pedestal...Generations may pass, but the word stands out unique by itself. This was the opinion I had a decade back, but things have changed according to the demands of the globalised world. Men have become more realistic rather to denigrate the values that lead a living soul to salvation. The journey of a person starts from a mother's womb where we are nurtured with the capsule of love that brings us to this lovely world. Here on our lives thrive on compassion and love to develop into a complete being. The love that our parents give us transcends all boundaries and vice-versa. Love takes various shapes as it moulds our lives right from the time of our birth. It can be parental love, love between a wife and a husband or between a brother and a sister and so on and so forth. But the way we perceive it changes as we start naming the relationships. Of course this is a fact and no one can deny that. Love is often looked upon in a different way when you start associating it with the physical intimacy that two opposite souls share. This has reached a level where the term 'Love' is often looked at in a crooked way. The ideology behind looking at it in a way to degrade its moral values has crept into the minds of the people only because of the change that the ultra-modern world has brought about in terms of information technology. So the technology has become a tool to demean the basic principles that bind our lives together in a 'cluster' called happiness. The attitude towards looking at it in a sensual manner has to be changed...love basically encompasses each and every principle that is required to have a peaceful co-existence. So my sincere plea to everyone is 'Stop discriminating between the various terms that define love'. Just say that it is simply 'ETERNAL.'
