Anuki’s Diary

Dear lovers,

Small things matters most...

Have you ever realised that small things that you do to your partner matters a lot? What I mean is when you’re in love one would try to do things for he or she to make them happy in all possible ways.

At times they may even go out of their way to prove their love, but most of the lovers think to prove their love that they should do things in a big way. With my personal experience I have always been touched with small things what my lover or loved ones did to make me happy. Most of the time they would have not known that it meant so much to me.

Most of the lovers think the best things one could give to their partners are expensive gifts and that would flatter them. I’m not saying it is not because all of us like to get those.

But do you think the gifts would be the only or most powerful way to capture your partner’s heart or refresh the relationship? With my personal experience I think it is the small ways of doing loving and caring things, which would make things beautiful in a relationship. It may be by words, a glimpse, a smile, a thought or even could be being silent at times.

Love is beautiful only if you let it grow in a natural yet magical way. Your dear lover’s words of love would help you to build a better understanding. A glimpse could take your partner’s breath away. A smile may mean the whole world to them. A thought would add strength for their gloomy mood.

Wouldn’t those things remain in one’s life forever?

People have forgotten to pass a few kind words or smile with another person. Isn’t that a tragedy that we all are facing? Learn to feel for another person then naturally one would learn to do wonders in their relationship. Don’t wait until the other person does it. Love is not selfish. So if you have been blessed with it, why not respect the same.


Famous love story:

Antony and Cleopatra

Given here is a synopsis of the novel Antony and Cleopatra. Mark Antony, one of the administrators of Rome, along with Octavius and Aemilius Lepidus, after being becharmed by Cleopatra, the queen of Egypt has neglected his duties or it can be said that he abandoned all his responsibilities to be with Cleopatra.

After getting the message that his wife Fulvia is dead and that Pompeii is making arrangements to rebel against Antony, Antony decides to return to Rome. Octavius convinces Antonio to marry his sister, Octavia in order to solidify their relationship with each other.

Cleopatra comes to know about Antony’s marriage with Octavius and breaks into a rage but when a messenger reports to Cleopatra that Octavius is unimpressive in looks, she feels confident over the fact that she would be able to win Antony back.

Antonio and his other administrators in a meeting with Pompeii settle all their differences on the condition that Pompeii would be allowed to rule Sicilia and Sardania. Antonio departs for Athens with Octavius. Antonio comes to know that Octavius has raged a war against Pompeii and gets furious. Pompeii is dead and Octavius has imprisoned Lepidus. Antonio accuses Octavius of not giving his share of the land that belonged to Pompeii.

Antonio decides to fight Octavius on sea and Cleopatra promises to help Antonio with his fleet. Cleopatra flees with her sixty ships in the middle of the battle and Antony follows her abandoning his men. Back in Alexandria, Antony is overcome with grief and feels ashamed for himself.

Octavius sends a messenger to ask Cleopatra to be on his side. Eventually Antony forgives Cleopatra and he once again challenges Caesar for a combat, but this time he decides to fight on land. Enorbus, Antony’s lieutenant, betrays Antony and joins Ocatvius.

Antonio sends the goods to Enorbus that belonged to Enorbus. Enorbus commits suicide out of guilt. This battle goes well for Antony until it gets shifted from the land to the sea. The fleet deserts Antony, who gets to know about the fact that Cleopatra has betrayed him and decides to kill him.

Cleopatra locks herself in a monument and sends the message to Antony that she has committed suicide. When Antony comes to know about Cleopatra’s death he decides to kill himself and tells Eros to slay him.

To avoid this duty, Eros kills himself. Antonio makes an attempt to kill himself but only manages to injure himself and at that moment he comes to know that Cleopatra is alive. Antony is hoisted up to Cleopatra’s monument and he dies in her arms.

Octavius asks Cleopatra to surrender but she refuses. Cleopatra takes the help of the poison of the asp to kill herself. Cleopatra orders his men to bury her beside Antonio. The death of Antony and Cleopatra helps Octavius to become the first Roman Emperor.

Throughout the novel, we find that Antony is torn with the conflict, between his love for Cleopatra and his duties and he proves that he is a true Roman by committing suicide and Cleopatra is one of the most strongest female character that Shakespeare has created.


Your smile is worth for me

Love live and life,
Always
New few and safe...
But
The love and live,
Without a smile indeed,
Saves us nothing,
But leaves us grief,
Make it brief
And tell you these.......

For I’m a soldier, and you are my love,
Smile my dear
And smile forever...
Like the moon, to the darkest space.

It will save thousands of your words,
That is to tell me,
How much you love me...
One single smile of yours saves
Millions of tears for me that,
Willing to wet my cheeks yet.
As if I won the battle of love...

Smile my love
And do it now...
With your blooming face and reddish lips,
Which, I’ll never go to kiss them again.
I did never plead life,
As I plead a smile...
Will you smile... Oh my dearest...
To close my eyes,
Lying on your knees...
Smile now...And smile forever...


Let me free

Days are long
Nights are cold
I’m still looking for a person
To call my own

Nobody is here
Either not there
God, this is unfair
You gave me worries
Which I can’t bear.

Why chasing me?
Why don’t you let me free?
My blues which you can’t see
Will end up tomorrow with me.
