Passion

The spark in a person's eye when he is doing something he loves ... that's "Passion". One of the most beautiful things in this world, something that's still worth living for.

Be it, an artist giving a thousand strokes on a plain paper, a musician creating a beautiful melody from noise, an architect erecting a building on a bare land, a mathematician building an equation out of space, a person looking at someone he/she loves, or just a person's passion for a simple thing called 'Life' - the life and glint we see in their eyes makes us see the meaning of 'Living'.

"Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion." - Hebbel

The sole purpose of human beings is "To Live, With Passion", it maybe just 16 yrs or 60 yrs, the length doesn't matter - what we have done with it is all that counts. We see it everyday in the people around us, only we fail to observe.

"Men hate passion, any great passion"....I have just started reading THE book "Fountain Head" and I already find myself helplessly falling in love with 'Howard Roark'. He is ready to lose everything just to stay honest to his love for architecture. In the real world, I don't know whether I will ever find a Roark but I would like to feel/see this passion - atleast a part of what he felt.

Losing oneself in the waves of love is the best thing that can happen to a human being. We may drown in this whirlpool, the result doesn't matter. We may lose everything but just the ecstacy of unleashing ourselves in the warmth of love makes the difference...

My father spends all day and all nite at work (He's a civil engineer) and still when he gets a little time to go out with his family, he takes us to his work place, hehehe, that is where we spend all our weekends. It doesn't matter to him whether he is constructing a building, developing a park or a sewage treatment plant, whatever work he does - he puts his whole heart into it. And often, more than often, he forgets he has a family. He has lost so much, had to put up with horrible fights, came to a point where he was going to lose everything but he still goes on...

Every person's work is a piece of art in his own context, however small or insignificant it may be, as long as it has love in it. I have seen many of my friends occupied in their work and I see their thoughts evolving into visibility - for instance, creating a greeting card for a loved one, cooking, writing a blog ;) ... anything and their proud look after everything... Aah, "PASSION"

"Nothing is as important as passion. No matter what you want to do with your life, be passionate." - Jon Bon Jovi
