Who doesn't like Champagne?

What kind of a question is that?  "Who doesn't like champagne?"  

Well, in Soulmates Never Part, Sheila doesn't!  

Following is a little peek at their first meeting.

“What can I offer you?” Abel asked her after a while, “I have champagne. Would you like to celebrate our union?”

“I don’t take champagne,” Sheila said, knowing nevertheless, that she would like to today, if he really wanted her to.  But he did not propose champagne again.

“Some Coke perhaps?” he offered instead.  He had seated her on one of the elegant, fluffy sofas.  It was a tastefully furnished room that he had booked in advance for his stay in Kolkata. He walked over to the refrigerator which was carefully concealed in a stylish wall-to-wall cabinet. Sheila had regained her composure by now, and she tried to hide the disappointment and emptiness she sensed as soon as he had left her side.

“That will be perfect,” she smiled, taking her eyes off him to inspect the room properly.  It was bathed in luxury, she noted for the first time, and somehow, it contradicted with the image she had in her mind of Abel Freeman. She wouldn’t have thought he cared a lot for or even could afford such lavishness.  But then, this was only their first meeting.  She would, of course, learn more about him gradually.

“Here it is,” Abel said, holding out a glass of Coke towards her, not taking his eyes away from her face for a moment.  She eyed his glass mutely as he sipped his own Coke and wondered why he hadn’t poured out the champagne for himself.

“I don’t need champagne,” he explained to her casually, apparently reading her mind. “You are an intoxicating woman as it is.”  Sheila was self-conscious and had nothing to say as he ran his eyes over her appreciatively. He laughed good-naturedly at her, “It’s a compliment, Sheila.”

Onion and understanding

Onion prices up. That is in the news today.

Diversity even in the use of item is amazing. There are those who don't like onions and there are those who cannot do without onions. And there are also those who don't use onions at all.

Is it so necessary to buy onions at a huge price when the pockets are protesting? Why can not we do without onions for a while when the prices are sky high?

Oh yes, there are some people do make it without the pungent bulb for as long as it is wise. They explore new possibilities in their recipes.

I wouldn't call this compromising. Or cutting down on taste. I would say it is a wise adjustment. An understanding.

That is the point. Understanding. Whether it is for a situation or a person, it helps one be good and wise and come out nicely.

In my book, Soulmates Never Part, I have stressed on the importance of understanding between people. Things can go drastically wrong when a misunderstanding occurs.

What is a soulmate.?

You are welcome

Dear reader, it is my pleasure to invite you to write, comment and share your thoughts on this blog.

The world is so much into rancor, hatred, anger, malice and other negatives. Let's talk of goodness, friendship and love. There are different kinds of love and it comes in many ways, many forms and many instances.

Pray, what kind of love is not special? Zero!!

I am sure every kind of love is special. The very word is special. The love between a mother and child. Father and child. Brother and sister. Friend and friend. Husband and wife. Teacher and student. Employer and employee. Colleague and colleague. Don't you smile when they smile. And does it not affect you when they hurt?

Let us speak about the goodness of people. Let us speak about bonding, caring and sharing. Let us explore the beauty of the world through the goodness of people. Lets explore the various kinds of love. Let us weigh the possibility of soulmates being true. Or let us wonder if it is fiction.

Once again, I invite you to put in your thoughts.

Do you believe in Soulmates??

Soulmates Never Part: That is the title of my book & that's pretty much my message to my readers!!

Being Soulmates is a special relationship. One may think its a feasible connect and another may think its just a pleasant imagination of a writer or a poet. I, for one, do believe that soulmates do and can exist.

Whats a soulmate and how do you know one is your soulmate?

If you have to think and think and think, and still get no answer, then its sure that you do not believe in soulmates as a possibility.

And if it brings someone into your mind right away, then its sure that you do believe in soulmates. And what's more is that you might already be having one!!
