Love without a reason

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and felt the salty sea air brushing against her face, rustling her wavy locks of hair. Her lips stretched into a smile as she dug her toes deep into the squishy sand. The gentle waves lapped at her feet as if trying to tell her a secret. An ancient story perhaps safely stored in the dark confines of the sea, she joyfully mused.

“What is it about this place that makes you so happy?”

“I am a mermaid, remember?” she looked at him with mischief-filled eyes and chuckled.

“Come on, quit joking. I am serious.”

“Nothing. I just feel alive whenever I come here.”

“I know that and hence the question.” He pressed on.

Perplexed, she pondered for a few seconds, rummaging through her mind to come up with an intelligent answer. But she found nothing. She just loved being near the water. It made her happy. As simple as that. Why must we always have to have a justified reason behind the things or people we love, she thought.

He was still looking at her expecting a lofty eloquent speech. Ah! Perils of being a writer, she sighed and turned her gaze back to the sea.

Hi there!! This is Piyali. Welcome to my blog- Solitary Soul with a Chaotic Mind. To know more about me, kindly read on----A ravenous glutton for food, music, cinema, literature and basically all good things in life....in leisure when I am not occupied with any of these, I write. Professionally, I am associated with the writing and publishing industry for a little less than a decade now. However, I prefer to introduce myself differently by talking about things that I like to do in my spare time; things that deeply move me; things that evoke and stir the passionate soul in me. I am a traveler, though not the backpacking kind, rather an extremely relaxed unhurried one who loves visiting boring museums or spending hours sitting in a sidewalk cafe observing passersby. I am an amateur baker who occasionally loses herself in the sweet scent of vanilla beans, the light silky smoothness of flours, the sinful gooey goodness of chocolates and the soft delectable creaminess of frosting. I am a keen observer (in a non-judgemental way of course) of people and life in general. I am an avid reader who goes through momentary phases of acute depression or absolute elation while reading a book. This blog is an outlet for the blabbermouth lunatic in me who wants to share her thoughts, experiences, and anecdotes with the world. Through my constant ramblings, I intend to make a difference in your life in whatever little way possible.

  3. We think that love is something that a person has no control over. Therefore all love felt has no reason, it just is and should be experienced. Trying to find a reason becomes, no is, an impossible solution to find.
