Did You Ever Love Me? Book Review: Can Rithvik singh turn heartbreak into a homecoming?

Did You Ever Love Me? by Rithvik Singh is a tender contemporary poetry collection about love, heartbreak, longing, self worth and learning to let go. Its greatest strength is emotional accessibility: Singh writes directly to readers who feel intensely and care deeply. The collection offers comfort without pretending heartbreak is simple, though its simplicity may occasionally feel familiar to seasoned poetry readers. Did you Ever Love Me? Have you ever loved someone so completely that, after they left, you were left wondering whether they had ever understood what they had been given? Not merely whether they loved you, but whether they ever noticed how much you loved them, how much patience you offered, how many small things you remembered, or how often you chose to stay when leaving might have been easier. There is a particular loneliness in that question because it rarely arrives at a dramatic moment. More often, it finds you while you are doing something completely ordinary. Yo...

"Bonding With God"

From my childhood I was Religious,but I never knew that basic steps of being religious.That Time for me being religious was to go to mandir, stand and fold our hands pray and that finishes the process of being religious.

Then i grew up,i started getting know the real meaning of term being religious i.e was a "Bond With God" a faith,a trust on him.Though I am still not that perfect in all this but somewhere i knew that i had connection with God.I can feel hi presence around me.Today also am not that great devotee of his but than also i had a feeling that after all this God loves me,protects me.

Bonding with God is a very integral part of somebodies life.Its a very deep part of ones life.It can never be expressed in words.As it was once said by my dear friend that feelings for God can never be expressed 100%,its beyond ones thought process.

Today am 20 and nowI have started realizing what is the actual meaning of tuning with God.Though it will take another many years to discover more deeply,to reach on higher levels of God. I feel at this point my bonding with God is just like a 'new born baby'.Its still need to blossom and nurtured more.

I have always believed that living life to its basic rules are decided by God.But we humans till the time we experience them we don't find them worthy,that's what human tendency is.

God teaches us that excessive attachment is injurious to health,but till the time we don't experience it we don't find the teaching worth it.
Similarly God teaches us not to expect much from others,not from anybody,but we are humans,we can't help it,how can we understand things by just meare teachings or just by reading holy book.God is very kind to us,before any mishappening he gave us various signals but we live are lives soo blindly or i should say that we are soo engrossed in external world that we forget about our inner world n then we become soo dumb, deaf n blind that we don't understand his signals,which can save us from big disappointments.
But once you catch that frequency with God you start connecting with his signals,with his teachings,your trust rates tend to rise u start having more faith in his decisions.

If today somebody asks me' Who is God??How would you define him?'Then I'll just say that"God is another human being but the difference is that hes invisible and we humans are visible.Hes supreme power,we are his children and whenever we are in pain,we go to him,talk to him,pray to him,he helps us with his best idea's and his best approach,for what we are deservent and makes us feel composed,better"

Pure mind,innocent mind human beings are also God'd favorite and he is sometimes bias to them,though nobody in today's world is 100% pure but purity here means Good intentions,being forgiving,loving,Caring,n having a true innocent genuine heart.

God is kind to everybody he loves everybody n full fill wishes of everybody but for all this what we give to God??Nothing.How selfish n occupied we are with our worlds that we tend to forget that supreme power behind all are happiness.

This is the high time that we should be less selfish n less involved with the external world n take some time out for God and Thank him for all his blessings,his love,everything.

More than 40 people have died in the riots that have followed the killing of Swami Lakshmanananda in Kandhamal in Orissa. 5 people were killed and 47 injured in Mumbai when Jerry Falwell made some comments saying that the Prophet of Islam was a violent man and a terrorist. 12 people had died in Mumbai in anti-rushdie riots. There are more instances I can point out, but these stand out because of the scale and because of how related India is to last two people. Mr. Falwell runs a Christian ministry in US and Salman Rushdie, although ethically an Indian, had migrated to Pakistan and was a citizen of UK at that time. Of all riots that took place all over the world following the statement by Jerry Falwell and against Salman Rushdie, India was the only place with causalities. Orissa has been a hotbed of communal tensions between Hindus and Christians for a while now. India is the largest democracy which is more than 60 years old. Why then are we so undemocratic in our conduct? I will not sa...

Note: When Tan suggested me to post this here...I gave it a thought. I felt he was right.  yeha I know in the election times ..people would be more inclined to politics. Well still..just give it a read :) For the first time when she came in I knew she is going to be one of my best pals. she was bubbly chirpy sociable and a caring human being.she was I felt my true copy. But what I felt wasn't true and I'd never known that trait of hers which never matched mine had such a reason behind it. She never liked to talk or be familiar to the opposite sex. I found this irritating but I just used to remember all her other traits which brought her close to me and made her one of the closest beings to me on this Earth. As she and I had got very close in friendship that we began sharing secrets which we never thought would come out of our mind. And I thought I understood her as I thought she was me. Then one day as we were alone in my room I asked her why she was so unfamiliar and irritat...
