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...

Some Thoughts...




1)The soul,aatma can find peace only if it approaches its owner,its bigger part,the Param-atma,bcz thats what it has been striving for since its creation,and that only is the sole purpose for its creation...

2)When there is darkness all around,in the past,in the present n even the future seems pitch black,only the eternal light can show the path...but the light will not come on its own,nor can anyone give it to you...you can be guided by the Gurus,but you have to yourself look for it...the external world will provide distractions,n then you'll put your soul's calling at the back of your mind,but eventually it'll call you back...thats why the worldly stuff can never give permanent happiness...

3)When life brings you over n over again at the same point,its trying to teach you something that you are not able to grasp...be good student...look for the answers...n move to the next chapter...the answers are within you...for God loves you so much that He put a part of His ownself inside you in the form of your soul...we are passed through tests so that we become pure enough to join Him back...

"The only permanent thing about this universe is that it changes...so change for the better"
May God bless you!



P.S.I had written this for someone when that person was a bit down...the thoughts are not completely mine...but were incorporated over a period of time...
Courtesy :my teacher Mrs Kiran Bhardwaj,the books i read,,,n well...the greatest teacher of all-life...

"My cousin touched me there"

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...

(disgraceful but i'm sure he was jealous coz he is still a bachelor at that ripe old age) -> Bombings planned by Hindu Religious Leaders and the emergence of "Indian Mujahideen". (stupid fools can think of only violence and even a sadhvi was a part of this. I'm sure each everyone is corrupt. I won't be surprised if they were working for some islamic terrorist group) -> The atrocities against Christianity in Mangalore and Orissa. (Shows that our country's intellectual level is growing in reverse!!) -> Curtailing of pub culture in the Pub City of India.

U asses democracy means freeedom of individuals and an individual never lives in the same way as others do!!) -> Rajasthan CM announcing that he will do away with mall culture. (I think he is working fo...
