This is for the one who started it all.
Not so long ago, I was at Oberoi Towers next to the NCPA in Bombay. A gentleman was playing the western classical piano in the hotel lobby & I just couldn't resist myself from walking up to him and listening to the wonderful tunes he was playing. He treated me to a veritable fare that included everything from Bach to Mozart to Beethoven and finally wrapped up with John Denver.
Annie's Song is an awesome composition. If you haven't heard it, go & get yourself a CD. Trust me, it'll make a difference to you in your life. All you need to do is find yourself a comfortable place to sit in (my favourite being the Bean Bag in my bedroom or the leather couch in the living room), draw the shades, switch off all lights, cell-phones and rest all distractions. Sit back, close your eyes & let John Denver take you through an ethereal journey.
Annie's Song has a special significance for me. It always induces a bittersweet memory in me. It is like a pain that is both sublime yet very powerful. Some people like it while some don't. But whatever you do, you can't ignore it. The song brings out the best & the worst of human emotions within us. For some it is a catharitic exprience everytime they hear the song while some get the most virtiolic of all emotions when they listen to Annie's Song.
As for the one who started it all, well, words are not sufficient to describe her. Have you ever seen a person enter a room and brighten it up with her smile? Have you ever experienced somebody's presence who can liven up the atmosphere in & around? Well if you haven't then my friend, you ought to be in love, not with just a person but with an existence.
The Lady here will always be an Enigma & I prefer it that way because, she is not ordinary.
She Is... ... ...

Hi Rajat,
One thing which is really impressive about your blog is the way you express yourself.
I don't know who is the woman you're talking about but whosoever she is, I am sure that she is an amazing lady.
All the Best for your Future,and keep blogging.

I pray to God that you find your enigma really soon. Its good to read your blogs..very interesting.
Keep writing

Thanks for your warm comments. I really appreciate that.
I can't figure out who you are but I can understand if you want to keep your identity under wraps.
As for the Enigma...well, its an enduring mystery!
seeing from your response..why do i get the feeling that your Enigma is not really an Enigma for you????
Also, I think i kind of know you somewhat to be able to make this judgement...however, I could be completely wrong in my assumption.
Take care

Ahhh! Mademoiselle....you sure do love to act coy & shy of revealing your identity.
I would love to unravel the mystery & am getting tempted to hazard a guess as to who you might be. You said that you somewhat know me & that sets me thinking as to who you are.
You're correct, the Enigma is not an Enigma for me. She never was & never will be. But as long as the Enigma remains an Enigma for herself, I wouldnt be doing anything.
Sometimes, the best things in life happen when you let things go by you. Not all the water in the rivers flow down to the mighty ocean, somepart of it gets collected on land & thats what makes soil fertile.
The Enigma does exist but not for me. Hope you understand.
Have a great evening ahead (I'm in India & its 1644 Hrs by my watch right now).
hmm...its an interesting concept and I am still trying to comprehend it. However, knowing you as I do, I know that its a futile attempt. You are too good with words for me to understand completely.
Anyways I wish u all the best..and I do hope that you will let me know when you are ready to reveal your Enigma.
You have a great evening..and weekend. (I will be away till monday and it is 1323Hrs here)
N, thats you for sure, isnt it?
Some things never change in life. Your creativity and the way you express yourself is still as beautiful as ever.
Hey, I aint that difficult to understand. You also know that, dont you? I'll surely tell you about Ms Enigma someday. I've never hidden anything from you, have I? As such, we've got a lot to catch upon.
16th is just two days away and I hope you're done with all the preparations. Wish you all the luck & good fortune for the new beginning.
I shall catch up with you sometime later in Bangalore. See you on 19th!
hi,
yes, you are very much right.But you know,it is difficult to find a person who can brighten your face with her smile? yes, mark my words but when you get to meet her ,its one of the best things one can ever experience on earth. Hope you get your "enigma" soon. All the very best buddy....

Hello Ms Wanderer!
Good to see you here after a long hiatus.
Anonymous you may be for rest of the world but I know your identity. So lets say we uncover the mystery and see you come out in the open.
As for the Enigma, well yes, there have quite a few developments lately but none of them are akin to what you spoke about. Check my latest posts for a quick peep into it. Will write soon more about it.
Bonne chance.
Do visit back.
:-)
I think there has been a mistake. I wonder how you know me! coz I don't. lolz...
Hello!
Thomas Jefferson had once said that 'Reason and free inquiry are the only effectual agents against error'.
I may not know you but wouldn't mind you unravelling the mystery...after all, this is a small little world we live in...somewhere, somehow we all are bound to meet.
Hope to see you back.
Ciao!
:-) I am liking this cat n mouse game. lolz...
And so it shall be!
LOL!
