Oldest love poem

Happy Valentine’s day to everyone out there. Love is in the air and it's fragrance is up-to the fullest. So on the eve of this special day, I bring to you the oldest ever love poem in the world. And It is known as : Love song for Shu-Sin . It starts as this : 

          Bridegroom, dear to my heart,
          Goodly is your beauty, honeysweet,
          Lion, dear to my heart,
          Goodly is your beauty, honeysweet.
 

It was recited by a bride of the Summerian King Shu-Sin who ruled around 4000 years back. The poem was inscribed on a small stone tablet that was uncovered in Iraq in 1880’s and is now placed in Istanbul’s ancient museum. Some archaeologists also called it 'Istanbul # 2461'  which sounds a bit unromantic. But the poem itself is quite romantic and it was more than just a love poem and was used each year to perform a sacred rite known as 'sacred marriage’.
           I dedicate this little tint of sweet history to all people who are celebrating the freedom of love on this beautiful day. Keep enjoying :-)

The Revolution Street

The Revolution : Enghelab
Iran is known for its religious restrictions throughout the world. But guess what, waves of freedom have struck it hard this time. A 31 year old lady named Vida Movahed has become the inspiration for thousands of woman recently protesting in Tehran against the age-old tradition of wearing hijab.In Iran, if a woman does not wear hijab, then it is considered a punishable offense. But Vida Movahed did something considered very daring in Iran. She went to the busy Enghelab street in Tehran, put off her hijab and waved it like a flag for an hour. Afterwards, her videos became viral on Facebook and other woman started following her against this practice. Enghelab is important as it means revolution. Guys do you think women should face such ridicule ? Don’t consider them gift items to be wrapped up, they are also humans. Please let them enjoy equal rights as well. Though Vida Movahed faced jail with her 1.5 year old baby, she ignited the spark of freedom in Iranian women. Women in Iran have come on roads to fight for their rights. And all this have started a heated debate on whether wearing clothes should be a compulsion or a matter of choice. Guys, what do you think about this whole scene. Do you think the same as me or otherwise. Comments are welcomed.

Passion vs. Social Web


                            THE REAL FREEDOM : FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS

Suppose one day you wake up and you realize that you have wings attached to your body. What an awesome feeling it would be. You may feel like flying to the sky freely like a bird. But suddenly you notice that these wings don't move. They are caught in a social web breaking which may hurt your wings. But you want freedom from this web. All want freedom. I want it too. But at the same I don’t want to break this social web as we humans are social animals. If you want the real freedom, then follow your dreams, follow what you like , follow what your passion is. Yes, passion. All of us take higher degrees, some go for medical, some for engineering and others for MBA or similar fields. But why regret afterwards. Why is this confusion? Perhaps they were not guided to follow their passions, their dreams instead go according to the society which again leads us to the social web I talked about earlier. In such a situation, one may feel like a bird caught in a cage craving to be set free. But this situation has a solution. Just follow your dreams. It may sound simple but is not easy to achieve. My passion is writing. It makes me express myself a lot easy. I know everyone of us have their own priorities in life. But guys remember one thing, life is short. Try to get time to realize your passions no matter how hectic your life is. The end result is as sweet as sugar. And the bird craving for the real freedom inside you is set free.
