THE QUINTESSENTIAL WOMAN
That beautiful girl whom you see with an alluring smile and an exuberant spirit? Yes, I am talking about her… she isn’t just soft and vulnerable. On the contrary she is steel and strength. She has her own insecurities and fears. Her own demons to fight. Her own struggles and challenges to face. And yet she stands facing the storms bravely.
Do not judge her by the ways she dresses, just because she might be wearing flamboyant clothes does not mean she has a poor character. Do not get mislead by breezy disposition, just because she wears an ebullient smile does not mean her heart is not clouded with pain. Do not judge her if she is open and friendly with you. No, it does not mean she is available. Just because she does not retaliate and give back does not mean she is not hurt, it only means she is an emotional fool not to hurt you back. Just because you might take her for granted does not mean she is weak and cannot see through you. She has a life of her own. She will give you enough chances, but once she decides she will draw that line and move on. She is wild, but her loyalty is never doubted. She does not stand to be your second choice for she is unique.
Yes, irrespective of all the challenges and pain, she is proud to be the woman that she is. She would never trade her identity to being someone else. She loves her flaws and flaunts her scars. She flirts with pain and dances with challenges.
She evolves as a fighter and eventually an achiever. She has this Never-give-up attitude towards life. Be it for a life goal or for a relationship. She is an exuberant spirit and a bit of a crazy girl who learns to cross the bridge when it comes. She plays multiple roles in the lives she touches. She becomes a Faith healer, a Spiritual Traveller, a Laughter Therapist, a Miracle Fabricator, a Smile Unroller, a Dreamer, a Solitude Aficionado and much more from the various experiences’ life throws at her. She is fun loving and free spirited and yet she remains grounded. She might lose a parent or a lifetime friendship, but never loses hope. Emotional loss exposes her heart to the feelings of betrayal and hurt. Somewhere along the line her innocence is taken over by life who keeps teaching her lessons repeatedly. Until she truly learns from them.
She keeps falling and rising, keeps failing and fighting, keeps walking and sometimes crawling. She keeps the flame blazing in her heart.
She keeps meeting wrong people in her life, keeps trusting them, keeps getting hurt until years later she learns the lesson the hard way. Making the wrong choices and getting the heart broken only makes her stronger.
She never allows bitterness, loneliness, depression, anxiety and all possible negative emotions to flood her heart. She does not break down and vanish in the dark. She chooses to rise. She chooses to evolve. She chooses to grow.
Somewhere in a parallel world on the emotional front she is losing people who are the pillars of her life. She enters the big bad world of the Corporate life. And against her wishes she gets sucked in the rat race. Not because it is her choice, but because it is a survival instinct. She maintains her sanity and dignity by sticking to her principles along the way which makes her journey difficult and challenging.
If she is a single woman, it only adds to her woes. She is pressurized by the society and looked upon as an incomplete person. As if getting married is the sole purpose of a woman. She is mocked and ridiculed. She is thought to be frivolous and irresponsible. On the contrary a single woman handles more responsibilities single handed. Little does the society know the kind of hardships a single woman goes through.
And if this was not enough, the Corporate life sucks for a single woman. She is judged for her physical and emotional strength. She is questioned about her marriage plans during interviews, and if she married, she is asked about her family plans. She is strayed by lewd comments and sexual harassment at workplace.
And yet, she is confronts it all. She is a believer and always the giver. That quintessential woman loves being in love and being loved. She is desirable and funny. Inspiring and motivational. She knows her way and does not fear to walk alone. That quintessential woman is comfortable in her skin and does not need your validation. She is complete and happy within her world. Ready to share her world, her happiness and joy, her love with someone who meets her at her level of consciousness. She is happy without you and yet, she loves your presence in her life. She is complete without you, yet she loves to share her life with you.
She is Love 💓, that quintessential woman.

HEARTBREAKS
How many times have you fallen in Love?
How many times have you been heart-broken?
Can you Love again?
Well, I think Love happens only once. True Love. Profound, soul-stirring Love.
If it is not Forever, it cannot be Love.
If it is not your Soulmate, it cannot be Love.
If you can easily let it go, it cannot be Love.
If you do not put up a fight for it, it cannot be Love.
If it is not aligned with your Universe & your Principles, it cannot be love.
You need to meet a few wrong people, to find the right one.
You need to get your heart-broken, only to recognize True Love when you finally meet it.
You need to feel this pain to understand your purpose in life and recognize your strength.
Heartbreaks have been the inspirations for people. Writers, singers, painters have performed best when they were under stress and depression. They identify with their true feelings when they reach their rock bottom emotionally. The question is, should we make this heartbreak your stimulus? To get attached and obsessed with this heartbreak just for the benefits it gives you in your professional success?
Our innate nature is to be happy. It is our birth-right our sole purpose. Our heart will eventually mend with time, no matter how deeply and strongly we might feel at that time. We will get over the heartbreak and ultimately find our true soulmate.
The lows in life are always … always followed by the good times. That’s the way things work, it never fails. Only when you reach the rock bottom in life will you get the opportunity to surge up with all your might to claim your right to be joyful once again.
Don’t fear heartbreaks. They are the lessons which make you stronger. They polish the confines of your heart which were in pain and make it shine. They change you as a person.
Have you noticed that there is a certain seductive magnetism in being broken & demented? Once you have gone through the intense pain, you fear nothing. There is no anxiety to lose anything or anyone. You become brave and start looking at life in a completely different perspective. You become emotionally independent. And yet, you learn to keep trusting people even when you have been deceived. You learn to keep loving easily and quickly even when you have had doleful experiences the first time around. You become stronger not resentful. When you love someone beyond agony, all the pain eventually vanishes and all that remains is just love.
Thank them for the experience, the pain, the challenges. Thank them for being a part of your life. Thank them for everything, for that was why it made you the person you are today. And then gently let them go. Forgive them, for they might not value you, they might not have the capability to love you in the way you deserve. They might not even know how to love another person above themselves to begin with. They might not know the value of the pure love and joy offered to them. Love them for what they are, love them for you had once truly loved them and let them go. If it is meant to be, they will stay. If not, they never were yours to begin with.
At the end of the day Love is not the centre of the Universe. – there are other things far more vital to be worried about. You were happy before you met this person, you will thrive even after they leave you. Don’t brood over the past.
Life is all about being alive. To flourish and survive. Everything else follows subsequently. Love yourself enough to not depend on anyone else to receive the love. YOU ARE LOVE.
Stop making any more efforts to chase Love. Just be yourself. Your Soulmate, your true Love will find you.

LOVE STORY
He had arrived before me. I loved that about him. Whenever we met, he would reach before me and wait. He loved waiting for me, he said. Honestly, I loved that cute expression on his face anticipating my arrival any moment.
I would often observe him from a distance just to see that wonderful expression on his face. It was priceless. And then the way his face would erupt in a broad smile on noticing me and his eyes would twinkle as he would take me in from top to toe in one swift glance.
That was what he did today as I said,
‘Hi!’ excitedly skipping up to him in a broad smile.
‘Hey gorgeous!’ he said simply and engulfed me in a bear hug.
‘Hmm, you smell good.’ He murmured in my ear in a husky voice making me blush.
‘I missed you so much!’ he said looking gravely. I loved his eyes. I loved all the looks in them – the notorious, the smile, the laughter, the love, the attraction, the pine, everything. They said everything which he often did not tell me in words.
Looping our fingers together we walked along the beach.
The breeze was making my hair go haywire and I had trouble to keep them in place. I started walking in reverse, something which I loved doing. I walked in reverse in front of him matching his stride. It was fun. He grinned at my antics and joined me. His hair falling over his eyes, the evening sun casting the warm orange to reflect in them.
I increased my pace and he matched mine. By now we were nearly running. I was doing the reverse walk and he followed me. We started laughing, enjoying this little game of ours.
‘Stop it! And come here.’ He pulled me in his arms and tried to kiss me.
I escaped from his arms and ran laughing out loud.
‘Catch me if you want the reward!’ I said playfully.
I ran at full speed realizing he had started running even before I had announced the reward.
I was no match to his long strides and soon he caught up with me, capturing me in his strong arms.
I screamed in delight. His arms felt so good around me. People on the beach never bothered us. We were always in our own little sweet world where only we two were present.
He kissed me on my neck sending goose bumps all over my body.
Turning me around, he kissed me full on my lips. I lost sense of my surroundings as his kiss seared sensations in me drowning me deep and pulling me completely within him. That kiss said it all. His love for me in just that divine kiss. We would have gone on for eternity had we not lost our breath.
Gasping for air we pulled apart. His eyes shone with love and my eyes were shy.
He hugged me at my waist and we moved towards our favourite spot.
‘Lets’ build a castle!’ I exclaimed in delight.
‘Your innocence and pure joy never fails to delight me. I am happy just looking at your happy face.’
He exclaimed as he joined me in building the sand castle.
It was so much fun to indulge in this childhood game. We clicked a lot of fun pictures with the castle.
With him I was someone else. I would come alive. I am a happy person with a smile always in my
heart and one on my face. With him I was different. My face radiated an inner joy which only he was responsible. I was content with myself, but with him I realized life was so beautiful. We laughed a lot together. We were fun together, silly, crazy and simply ourselves.
The ice candy fellow knew us, as we frequented the beach often. He wordlessly handed over our favourite ice-cream as we relished them with hands smeared with the sand.
I bit into a big piece out of his candy that he had lovingly offered me.
‘Don’t pamper me so much! It would be difficult for me to manage without you.’ I said.
‘Why would you have to manage without me? I would always be there for you, with you. Now and forever.’ He said simply engrossed in his chocolate candy.
He had not realized how simply he had committed to me a lifetime of happiness.
My eyes were brimming with tears of happiness. I wondered what took him so long to have met me.
We had wasted so much of our time discovering each other.
‘Come now, let’s not waste time! Look there the sun is about to set!’
I pulled him towards the waves splashing water all along. Our laughter reverberated through the open skies as we danced on the splashing waves carelessly.
‘By the way, I wanted to tell you something.’ He said suddenly.
‘What?’ I asked.
‘That I love you.’ He said pulling me again in his embrace and sealing my sea salty lips in a kiss, as if sealing his love.
He loves saying this to me again and again. And I die to listen to it with equal fervour.
We were happy, our hearts brimming with love and sheer happiness.
Just then my alarm clock went off bringing me back to reality rather cruelly. Ah, how I wished to have continued with the sweet dream for a little longer. Spending happy time with him a little more.
They say, morning dreams come true… and I dream of us every waking hour of my life. This is one of my favourite recurring dreams of us.
I love him so much 💖💖

THE PREDICTION gets a 5 star rating and nomination for BEST AUTHOR OF THE YEAR AWARD!!

SALISONLINE.in Review By SALISONLINE.in on 2 August 2016
Verified Purchase
The Prediction is a very lovely Sci-Fi book which will force you to read the entire book at a go. The plot of the story is very creative and the simplicity of the story made it look even better. When we look at a Sci-Fi book we always think about unusual names and unseen locations, most of the novels are out of the world but Swarupa has managed to maintain a reality in her Sci-Fi book. She used normal names with normal locations but not-so-normal powers. The words used by Swarupa in her book are very simple and easy to understand which gives the book a plus point. The cover of the book is also very beautiful and creative. I think the author must publish a series of novels with Tia who is the leading character of her book playing a Super Hero role. We all love Super Hero books and comics, so why not have an Indian girl Super Hero who is different from other Super Heroes. It will go perfectly with ‘The Prediction’ being the first part of the series. Overall, the book is very lovely and you will surely enjoy reading it. It’s a MUST READ!
