Address Of My Heart

No we didn't dance...main dancer wasn't there...next time, and we all have ups and downs...don't worry..see you next time I'll organise something ok..

take care
bye S.



That was a message from a dear friend who was at that party on Sunday. She missed me so much and so she sent me an email Mon morning asking why I wasn't there. And then I said I had a problem so couldn't make it, and I asked if they danced and that was her reply. Anyways, I'm glad people do miss me too...that means I have touched them in some way that they really wanted my presence. How sweet. Guys I also made some pretty difficult decisions yesterday
(I was forced to cos I had no other way to deal with this any longer) and I'm gonna stick to those decisions somehow. With the New Year around the corner, I'm gonna be a new and somewhat stone-hearted Keshi. I don't mean to say I'm gonna be Cruella DeVil. What I mean is I'm not gonna be around for people who have no respect for my feelings. I used to care about others all the time and it has certainly taken the toll on me. It was overkill. So now I must start caring about myself too. Since I don't know how to be heartless and selfish, I'd rather not give attention to such people. I think silence is better than wasting my breath on them and I have decided to go far away from them - sometimes physical distance is a good start. So that I wont be around for them as a bait for their evil pleasure. I deserve better, don't I? And I must thank all of you who are always right here waiting to make me feel better. Without you guys I wouldn't be feeling OK and this strong. So a big THANK YOU to you!


Now I wanna make this post a fun one...cos I'm tired of all the drama in my last post and sorry to have tired you all too. So here it goes: If there was a Tsunami coming your way and your house is bound to be destroyed (yeah it's all about storms this week haha!), and you could only take one thing from your house, what would it be? I'd say your answer will most probably tell you where your heart is. Your answer will be the address of your heart.


This is my answer: I would take my photo albums. Cos that's where all the precious moments in my life are preserved. And that's where my dad (and many other loved-ones who are no longer in this world) still smile back at me. So if the photos get lost, I'd lose a big part of my life too, cos I can never capture those moments again. Everything else in my house I can easily replace. Cos even though those memories are in my head, what if I suffer from Dementia some day (not that I don't have Dementia now (rolling eyes...)). Then atleast I can look at the pics and think of those lovely people and those golden moments. So that's what I'd take with me. (o btw if I can, I'll try to take my iPod too only cos I can't live without music even during that short period of running out of the house hehe). Now how about ya?

Hey Keshi,a very intriguing post.And a very nice and perfect New Year resolution.I made this resolution long time back that ,I will never give any one so much power to break my heart or make me sad and that helped me a lot.

Wish you luck.You have all the rights to make your self the most important than any one.

Divian said...

Of course, my kids. I would NOT leave without them. If they were a given, then I'd say, I'd have to have some rope. Because if a tsunami was coming, I would use that rope to tie us all together so that I would not lose them. I have often thought about things like this. I go over scenarios in my head to come up with the best possible plan to keep my kids safe and WITH me.

So, yeah...rope. I'd get rope.

Oh dear, please stay nice, happy and cheery. It matters not (ok, not so much) that people take your niceties for granted, but that you can live with yourself. By all means love yourself more, but also do not cease loving others. Sometimes, pain makes one a stronger person. (oh my, i'm getting so philosophical ;))

Trundling Grunt said...

I think you have it there - if you have to take anything it would be photos. They are memories and, although I have the negatives somewhere else, and all my photo files on CD away from the house, the old photos are handled and loved in a way that replacements wouldn't be.

lee said...

I would of course would like to take all my photos as well.But the first thing would have to be my lovely son :).

Jewel Rays said...

Very interesting and thought provoking. :)

Hmmm what would i take?

I would take my family out. but i realise that its a thing that you are asking abt.
only one eh..:P cause lots of things came to my mind. haha..

Lets see...If there is one thing that i can take with me..

It would probably be my notepad and a pen. I am someone who needs to write if i can't speak out. and during this time, i am sure i have a lot to say to my best friend on high or just to place my thoughts out. so thats when this notebook becomes handy. i need to write and express myself. That way at least i can be a strength to those a round cause my thoughts has been written down. :) I like that idea of a notebook and pen. *smiles* And who knows..someday, if its valid enough and if i did not survive. it could be something that people around can read sometime. or something special where my loved ones can hold on to many a times. The address of my heart will totally be covered on pages from the start. The deepest emotions, dreams, strengths, struggles and blah blah.

Thanks for this post lady!

*hugs!

Hi Keshi

Your choices are good on all fronts.

Once again, I am not going to answer your question. Here the are lyrics to a song about the killer tsunami.
A songwriter friend wrote this song in fifteen minutes.


HOME
The Tsunami


© 2005 William McMillan

A sunny Sunday morning, under such a pristine sky
As the turquoise of the ocean, reflected in her eye
Some sat reading, and others walked the beach
Some sipped lemonade, beyond the ocean’s reach
The radio was promising, fair weather for the day
No one was prepared, as the minutes ticked away

An ominous rumble, in the distance shook the ground
But no one seemed to notice, the shaking or the sound
But the quake had set in motion, such a fearful force
It gave birth to the tsunami, and set it on its course
Yes, such a fearful power, was so suddenly unfurled
And those who knew the danger, failed to tell the world

And now a silent warning, would never reach their ears
But today would be remembered, for many, many years
The little girl was walking, with her mother hand in hand
Her tiny little feet, left tiny footprints in the sand
She swung her little sand pail, and walked so happily
And there was barely a ripple, in that tranquil sea

The little girl was singing, as she danced her way along
Such a pretty little lady, with such a lovely song
“I love you mommy, and I love the sand and sea”
Her mother knelt and kissed, her little cheek so tenderly
“Can we stay here, mommy, for a hundred years”
“For a hundred years, mommy, for a hundred years”

But the shock wave was coming, faster than a jet
Today would be a day, that no one would forget
Then suddenly the ocean, was receding from the shore
And rolling out to sea, to reveal the ocean floor
Then the raging tsunami, came crashing to the beach
Swallowing everything, that fell within its reach

No one ever wished for worse, than this day would bring
So suddenly consuming, every one and every thing
Those Giant walls of water, that rushed relentlessly
With black mud and sand, that it sucked from the sea
The sound of all the screaming, was lost in the roar
As the black roiling waves, came shattering to shore

Dark waves attacking, and retreating savagely
Ravaging and burying and dragging to the sea
But that little girl was snatched up, and carried on the crest
And delivered to safety, where she gently came to rest
She was torn from the turmoil, and chaos all around
And entrusted by the waves, to the arms of higher ground

But too many people, disappeared on that day
With no time to escape, or even time to pray
And too many tears fell, too many people cried
For even the survivors, were dying deep inside
And too many towns, vanished from the land
And far too many footprints, were washed from the sand

And I’ll never forget, that sudden terror from the sea
Or the eyes of that little girl, when she said to me
“Tsunami took mommy”, pointing to the sea
“Tsunami took mommy, far away from me”
“Tsunami took mommy”, her eyes filled with tears
“Tsunami took mommy, for a hundred years”

Hi Keshi,

I remember how I once said that your life is a free flowing one, and I pretty much understand now why I was wrong then, but your positive attitude towards life is seriously inspiring.

And about the tsunami puzzle.. Hmm.. I will take my loved ones.

With Best Regards,
Srijith.

I love your resolution Keishi-
you have a heart of gold:)
take care of it.
Ahhh, I would take my photos and
letters and my seashell necklace:)
(and any chocolate lying around
he-he!!!)

(hugs sweetie)

Bibi said...

I'd take my photos too ... and my little momento box full of very personal/nothing little things from those I've loved who are no longer here.

Anonymous said...

Keshi, it is an interesting New Years resolution you have, and while I understand why you want to do it, I can't help but wonder if it is in you. You are a kind person by nature. It is partly the way you were born, and partly the way you were raised.

To decide today that you are no longer going to be that way is quite a statement. Is it really what you want to do? Or are you feeling this way because of what happened last week? Will we see this "stone hearted" Keshi in a month? Two months? Honestly, I'm not sure...

To answer your question, I'd take my wallet because replacing all the stuff in there would be a pain in the ass ;)

Anonymous said...

Hi Keshi! I hope you are feeling better. Sorry about all the drama that you've been going through, but I guess we've all been there.

And to the answer for your question, like you I would grab my photos. Many cannot be replaced. I have so many though and wouldn't be able to take all of them. It would be tough picking which ones.

It's important to get all the negative and non-supportive people out of our lives. I've had to do the same thing. It's hard, but when you get away from the negativity life becomes so much better.

I would take my laptop. My whole life is there. Including all photos (well, they're all on line), financial stuff and contact information for everybody.

Sujit said...

wow.. so amazing keshi.. with some amazing decisions and new year resolutions?..! well.. memories are the best things that I would take.. which you also did. but i dont think photo album is necessary.. those moments are alive in you already isn't so.. comming to alive when a close incident to those memories strike :).. you are living album.. hows that?

Good to see you move on from those storms!
address of my heart- my slam book from college time. It is filled with feedbacks from so many lovely frens, miss them all!

Sphinx said...

Hi Keshi. I was gonna post on the previous post, words of condolences and other dramatic BS that was no use to anyone. It seems you have come to the right decision (in this post) on your own and for that total respek.
The heart is too fragile and if you give it to the wrong person to hold, he/she will drop it and it will break. get the drift?
and oh by the way, HUGZ right back at ya.

Keshi,

I dun think u will become an evil person.. :) Cos it is human nature on wat we are & how we were brought up...

Here are some quotes to share about "EVIL":-

Albert Einstein wrote:
The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.

Benjamin Haydon wrote:
There surely is in human nature an inherent propensity to extract all the good out of all the evil.

Blaise Pascal wrote:
I have discovered that all human evil comes from this, man's being unable to sit still in a room.

Edmund Burke wrote:
All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.

H. L. Mencken wrote:
It is a sin to believe evil of others, but it is seldom a mistake.

Hannah Arendt wrote:
The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.

Henry Brooks Adam wrote:
It is always good men who do the most harm in the world

Leonardo da Vinci wrote:
He who does not punish evil, commands it to be done.

Mary Wollstonecraft wrote:
No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks.

Mohandas K. Gandhi wrote:
If your heart acquires strength, you will be able to remove blemishes from others without thinking evil of them.

Raisa Gorbachev wrote:
Hypocrisy, the lie, is the true sister of evil, intolerance, and cruelty.

Romeo Morningwood said...

Ok you don't mean people you mean stuff right?
This is so easy then because I actually have specific instructions to risk life and limb to exit my house with boxes that are labelled and near the stairwell marked photo negs and jpeg discs.

If I don't leave with this and atleast 20 creative memory albums I might as well stay inside and meet my maker because my goodladywife will finish me off on the front lawn anyway if I came out empty handed.
Tough but fair.

Keshi.. How do you know what is there in my heart? I am so amazed!!! Whenever you write anything emotional, the feelings are exactly mine. I mean whatever I am thinking these days you put the same in your post. For the whole night yesterday, I was thinking exactly same what you have written in the first paragraph.. n it’s there on ur blog now.

N to the add on, when I read ur question, my first thing which came in to my mind was photos with memories n my diary!!! I am just wondering how this can happen? I am still amazed, don’t even have any words to express how exactly I am feeling now. It’s okay.. you can feel that, I guess :)

Life said...

hello keshi,

well when we respect and care abouit someone then they are bound to respect us.if they dont then i think its best to move away from them.Silence is the best and most dangerous weapon i have ever come across.It kills people without any bloodshed.In silence u need not speak only yours eyes speaks on belhaf of you

if tsunami comes first thing i will take with me is my "THAKORJI".My lordkrishna to whom i worship and pray.He is been worshiped since last 50yrs.I may sound more religious but yes i this matter iam.Coz today whatever iam is coz of him.My every sucess and every achievement is dedicated to him.I never make single move with out him.So keshi say "SHRI GOVARDHAN NATH KI JAI".
YES even my album bag is also imp for me.Coz it has memories since my childhood day till date.Last but not the least.My family my life line.

So what else keshi..When ru coming to india :).Will be waiting for that day

Take Care

Now about the post, since that you said a 'thing' so i aint considering any humans here alright.
I'd carry my laptop...it has the photos, the videos, the songs, the poems, the stories et all ...!!

And yes, my greeting cards.
I have the habit of keepng all the cards people have given me...even the ones I'd recieved way back in the 5th grade.
I love looking at them time and again and they bring back such fond memories. I have cards from frens who I longer know as to where they are yet we have had lovely day together as kids.

Cards from frens who have chosen to go away from me...frens who have been taken away from me...and many more.

Someday I'll put up a post about it.
Thnx or this babe.
*hugs
And take care ok.

gP said...

i would probably try to grab all my books...but it will make it freakin hard to run then. Or maybe my money or computer, but then it brings nothing tangible I'd say. So the one thing I will bring from my house when I run away is my pillow for maybe I need to sleep somewhere for a few days, or let some kid who really need it to rest his/her head.

I too would take family and photographs ... although one can take memories in ones mind it is nice to have the visuals too.
Have a wonderful day! :o)

Hey Keshi, the tough thing about being a tough girl is...you gotta stay tough. It sounds redundant, but my only point is that in the turf wars that are bound to ensue as you assert your new boundaries, carry on with confidence not simpering diffidence (think Pink not Kelly Clarkson).
Hmmmm tsunamis...I think I'm just hiking up my skirt and running for the hills...

yes life has made me similar to what you are trying to become as of now
I mean siriously sometimes we do say, we need a new life! We want a life in which we no longer get hurt
Things when they go to extremeties, you gotta get rid of them or you have to change your ways
Well i wont say you being hard hearted, will be good or bad cuz the decision is upto you and will entirely effect you!
But what i want to say is that doesnt matter how the keshi i know is, i will be with her :)

Anonymous said...

Hey there Keshi, hope you are doing better. I would take my heart with me, all of it, specially when leaving a bad memory behind. Or perhaps just try to errase the negative but don't forget it because you cannot change someone's nature. Sounds like you had a very intense experience just now. I've been through similar situations and have learned (THE HARD WAY) negative anything is better to keep at a very safe distance from us bcs otherwise they "charge" us with their negativity. No matter how we would like to believe it different or even try to make it different, it won't change, might actually get more twisted and drawn you deeper into a blackhole--- BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, almost didn't live to tell it, and I'm not exagerating. I met 2 very intense evil people in my life, one man and one woman. They both taught me so so much but also drove me mad and sucked my energy and even my life, when I realised it I was a mess. I know I had to live these experiences, that they were part of my path, but it's very important to understand the reality of what's happening to us and to know and be able to brake free and run as far away possible from the black whole or darkness.

You know what,it sounds a little selfish ,but the first and only thing I will pick up ,is my documents and certificate files.
Because if I have that I can make through any thing any ,any where,meet my loved ones.

only one thing????? I'm telling you Keshi I can not just pick one thing becuz I have two animals--my Spooky cat and my Jake, the pug and I could not pick one of over the other. And then there is my honey, so he would grab Jake and I would grab spooky cat becuz I could only imagine me trying to pick up my cat and dog and the hissing and scratching that would be going on. Sure I would love to grab a bunch more stuff like my social security card, marriage certificate, etc but you only said one thing!!!! And that is a very difficult question!!!!

starry said...

A refreshing post after the storm.Good new year resolution keshi. You have to think of yourself sometimes because you are important.

I feel the same as you.I will take my photo Albums and all my video tapes I have of my kids when they were little.Once when the fires was close to our home and we thought we would have to be evacuated, i took all the Albums and tapes and put it in the car. Forgot all my Jewellery, later on when I thought about it. Jewellery was something I could always buy again. but memories- NO.

Sophie HUGGGGGGGGGZ! It's ok that u got my name wrong lol!

**I would take my photos and
letters and my seashell necklace:)
(and any chocolate lying around

awww how sweet. The seashell necklace sounds pretty interesting.

-----------------------------------

WC Bibi Huggggggggz!

**I'd take my photos too ... and my little momento box full of very personal/nothing little things from those I've loved who are no longer here.

awww that really made my eyes fill with tears...


-----------------------------------

AB heyy hows ya?

**, I can't help but wonder if it is in you. You are a kind person by nature. It is partly the way you were born, and partly the way you were raised.


I know wut u mean...it's so very hard to be someone else. But certain circumstances n ppl make u change a little bit. Im not saying Im gonna be an overnight-Dracula LOL! But I have set myself certian limits and standards now...and I know I can stick by em. Cos years of abuse and tears somehow make u stronger. And I believe it's mainly abt being stronger rather than being cold-hearted. U know what I mean? :)


**Wallet

yeah u need that too. I'd have it in my Jeans' pocket anyways haha!

-----------------------------------

hiyya Anali!

tnxxx I appreciate the encouragement.

**you I would grab my photos.

yeah...cos they r the ones that cant be replaced na. Well I have a truck-load of pics and albums too :) I guess I'd have to have a truck ready first LOL!

----------------------------------

heyyya Deepz!

**i wud take my photo albums, my credit cards, degree certificates, passport and the left over money!!

cool...all the much-needed items ha :)

-----------------------------------

G'day matey Jay!


**It's important to get all the negative and non-supportive people out of our lives

I agree. ppl who cant even be kind for a penny have no room in my life.


**laptop

well that sounds like a very wise thing to do then :)

-----------------------------------

Sujit ty!

**but i dont think photo album is necessary.. those moments are alive in you already isn't so

yes I agree...but nothing like having the real pics of the loved-ones and the precious moments. My memory may fade someday, but the pictures shall whipser tales to me for years...

**my slam book from college time.

-----------------------------------

G'day Sphinx!

**The heart is too fragile and if you give it to the wrong person to hold, he/she will drop it and it will break. get the drift?

definitely...actually my heart is scarred beyond plastic surgery now :)

-----------------------------------

Goodmorning Keshi.

To read each comment and reply to them in such an organised way. You deserve a huge chocolate from me.
You simply pour all your heart, into your space/posts.

After the tsunami.... good question.

I need to brush my teeth and so need a tooth paste and tooth brush, with me.
Ones i do that i shall have fresh feeling, thoughts, and then it's a new day, so I shall let me stretch and run...

As a child, i remember, after brushing, i went staright to the kitchen to see mummy, busy preparing our breakfast., and in my yet little sleepy eyes but brushed teeth said, "mummy"...

lol...maybe here i would say..tsunami!!

thankyou.

Keshi said...

Thumbelina hugggggggz!

I know I wont be an evil person...I can never be that. But it's healthier to be a bit aloof with ppl who dunno what 'kindness', 'respect' and 'love' are.


**No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks.

thats a great quote! Well so let em figure out what real happiness is...I cant be bothered wasting my time on em anymore.

tnxx for all ur great quotes!

-----------------------------------

m000nie thats a very cool idea...to keep a petal from the flowers u get. WOW!

**Family photos and then some chocolate to eat on the run!

tnxxx Hun!

-----------------------------------

Yash hello sweetie!

**I was telling my friends that I wont to be the cold hearted bitch coz i am sick of people taking advantage of me being nice and I was tired of people not caring about my feelings when I walk miles to make sure they aren't sad

lol so u were thinking along the same lines! Are we surprised at all? hell na. Cos rem we r long lost sisters. I have so many sisters like that here :) HUGGGGGGGGGGZ!

-----------------------------------

hello Sugar!

**would defnitely take my photos & my diaries n letters u saw on our blog

**so I guess the address of my heart is somewhat confusing

hehe so ur a bit lost at the moment? Mebbe ur heart is still finding a permanent address...take ur time sweetie.

-----------------------------------


HE u make me laugh so much LOL, ty!

**If I don't leave with this and atleast 20 creative memory albums I might as well stay inside and meet my maker because my goodladywife will finish me off on the front lawn anyway if I came out empty handed.

hahahahahaha! Ur wife sounds alot like me :)

Hi Keshi

To laugh often and much

To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children

To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends

To appreciate beauty

To find the best in others

To leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

This is to have succeeded.

-----------------------------------

G'day LOVE!

**but don't forget it because you cannot change someone's nature.

I totally agree. We dun change so how can we expect the other to change.


** know I had to live these experiences, that they were part of my path, but it's very important to understand the reality of what's happening to us and to know and be able to brake free and run as far away possible from the black whole or darkness.


So true..they r all part of our path. I like what u said there. They r challenges thrown at us so we can test our strengths. What matters is that we come out of it all stronger than ever b4. Im glad u did.

I love that quote...cos its so true. ty so much LOVE, I appreciate ur encouragement. HUGGGGGGGGGGGZ!

But my Jewellery...I dun give a damn where it is. Cos I wear costume-jewellery alot of the time so Im not much into Gold. The few gold stuff I have, I wudnt worry abt even if they r lost.

**I used to care about others all the time and it has certainly taken the toll on me. It was overkill. So now I must start caring about myself too...

gud thought keshi...time to pamper yourself .

As usual Keshi, very nice and sentimental blog. But u sound more free and relaxed here (thank God for that!). As I stay alone right now, the one and only thing that I'd not leave my room without is 'that purse' which contains my passport and credit cards. Though of-course I'd be very sad to have to leave behind my paintings, my diaries, my photo-albums, my books and most importantly, my sexy dresses. (Sob! I don't even want to think of such a situation right now or else I'll be depressed..)
