She is coming back. She called.. Her voice was having a natural fragrance , more pleasing and more childish.. even more than the child, crying in front of her berth...

Aah!! the last week !!! longer than life.

"Nostalgia.."

Nostalgia? How could one feel nostalgia for someone when the other was right in front of? How can you suffer from the absence of a person who is present?

I can't shake off the idea that after death you keep being alive. That to be dead is to live an endless nightmare.

This is the real and the only reason for friendship: to provide a mirror so the other person can contemplate his image from the past, which, without the eternal blah-blah of memories between pals, would long ago have disappeared.

It is always that way: between the moment he meets her again and the moment he recognizes her for the woman he loves, he has some distance to go.

How could she feel nostalgia when he was right in front of her? How can you suffer from the absence of a person who is present?

You can suffer nostalgia in the presence of the beloved if you glimpse a future where the beloved is no more.

The eye... the point where a person's identity is concentrated.

You can't measure the mutual affection of two human beings by the number of words they exchange.

Today we're all alike, all of us bound together by our shared apathy toward work. That very apathy has become a passion. The one great collective passion of our time.

Two people in love, alone, isolated from the world, that's very beautiful. But what would they nourish their intimate talk with? However contemptible the world may be, they still need it to be able to talk together.

No love can survive muteness.

Pain doesn't listen to reason, it has it's own reason, which is not reasonable.

He felt as if she no longer existed for him, had gone off somewhere, into some other life where, if he should meet her, he would no longer recognize her.

As you live out your desolation, you can be either unhappy or happy. Having that choice is what constitutes your freedom.

Since the insignificance of all things is our lot, we should not bear it as an afflication but learn to enjoy it.

She said: "I get scared when my eye blinks. Scared that during that second when my gaze is switched off, a snake or a rat or another man could slip into your place.

Kundera: u feel nostalgia even when other is present when u glimpse a future where the other person is no more.

98*******0: but that doesn't mean nostalgia mr kundera. As per oxford nostalgia is 'A bittersweet longing for things, persons, or situations of the past. OR The condition of being homesick' Your glimpse can come anytime. The other person need not be sitting in front to get nostalgic like this.

Kundera: so wat is that makes u feel so.

98*******0: its when the other person has changed. Its when after a long time u go to the house of ur beloved who has got married to someone else. She brings a cup of tea. Her child follows. And then u remember the old shop where u had tea 10 yrs back. And feel a longingness for the old times. The person in front of u is same but personality different. I feel nostalgic about moon on seeing it. Its not as beautiful as it was when she kissed me first. Goodnight sir

She is back..
