I love to imagine you and me intertwined, lost in a kiss,
a shelter,
on complicity.
Dividing faults,
confessing mistakes
and increasingly getting involved.
How good dream you can,
is here, right by my side.
It's the end of this endless search
is the heat of those hours of cold standby
Absence and longing
That charm is that you have in your hair! "Your size,
Your look indecipherable,
Your color,
your smile disinterested
I love your all, I would drop everything to live with you this unspoken desire.
Love your connection unexpectedly
your broken promises,
your belief that there is more uncertain.
I am reluctant to imagine not feel your scent on every piece of you.
Feel the taste of your lips, your touch in my body, close your will.
Why I love all of you?
Because one minute longer than what might happen,
is enough for life to bring us surprises never imagined.
because live with you "Ratish"
is much more than I ever imagined.
love you, yesterday ... today ... and always ... ♥ Love does not die, does not stop, do not forget. The separation will not destroys. The distance has only served to raise more this eternal love ... As the title says "ONE LOVE WITHOUT BORDERS" so that will be forever ..
Welcome to my blog!
This blog is for all people who love someone far away ... that despite the distance .... has no limits when you love someone for real...

5 Love Stories - Love without borders ...♥
Love conquers all, they say. But does that include language, countries and even continents? Kareena N Gianani and Nidhi Bhushan meet a few who opted for cross-cultural partnerships and find out.
No, Aurovrata Venet and his wife Nirmala Chenappa did not meet at a yoga session! Yoga was just something that got them talking. "I remember speaking about the benefits of yoga with her the first time and enjoying the discussion," says Venet, a French national who grew up in India. On the other hand, Chenappa, who works for an advertising firm, was "impressed with his Tamil. He could even speak with the proper south Indian accent."
This Bangalore girl and Venet met through common friends. "The first time we spoke was at a get-together at Take 5 restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised when he came by and sat next to me. Wonder if it was a planned move! (wink wink)," she says. Chenappa was bowled over by Venet's frank and honest approach to life. "He didn't have any ulterior motives. He spoke his
mind and I loved that about him."
"I was impressed by the detailing that went into her dressing. I was convinced that it was a sign of something very deep within her," says Venet. As for the 'precise moment' when love happened, it was on their trip to Savandurga on January 26 last year. "He had climbed a tamarind tree to bring back a fruit. When he got down from the tree, he hugged me and I knew that there was an indescribable deep connection in that hug."
On Valentine's Day the same year, Venet popped the question. "Near the sewage drain next to the TGIF parking lot," laughs Chenappa. Life after marriage has been full of surprises and discoveries for them. "When life gets difficult, it's comforting to know she's by my side. Plus, I can never imagine talking to a French girl about spirituality," Venet is clearly counting his blessings.
'Cultural differences are all in the head'
Alex & Shweta
At his Hindu wedding with television actor Shweta Keswani last year — complete with a pandit, the sacred fire and noisy relatives et al — Alex O' Neil had no idea what he was signing up for. The interpreter who was supposed to translate the Sanskrit shlokas in Hindi sat muddled, leaving the couple clueless about the vows they were taking. "It was hilarious. And now, if Shweta doesn't give in to my tantrums, I tell her she's breaking her marriage vows — we understood nothing so I can claim anything, right?"That wasn't all. Since Shweta is Buddhist, too, the couple had four weddings — a court wedding and a Hindu, Buddhist and a Catholic ceremonies. That they come from different continents and cultures was a relief more than a hitch. "I'd dated men here and found my relationship with Alex truly liberating. Alex had fewer expectations from me — who I met, my equation with my male friends, what I wore, how he viewed my acting career — nothing mattered more than what I felt for him," says Shweta.
Alex agrees that cultural differences are all in the head. "I love it that Shweta speaks her mind and is fiercely supportive. These attributes are independent of where you come from, aren't they?"
Alex, then into marketing, met Shweta five years ago through common friends. After hopping between India, Philippines, South Africa and the US, it was Shweta who insisted that he buy a home in Mumbai to stop living out of the suitcase. "It was a turning point for me. Finally, I had something I wanted to come back to," says Alex. But he hates the word 'settled'. "I've always been a global citizen and I made Mumbai home because Shweta had an established career and the entrepreneurial spirit of the city amazed me. But we are open to making any foreign city home."
On the reality show, Nach Baliye, the couple's patience was tested beyond recognition, they say. "The judges singled out Alex because of his background and things got quite ugly. I didn't take it lying down and got vocal about the hypocrisy. I lost quite a bit of work, but Alex's faith in me deepened," says Shweta. Alex doesn't dismiss the compromises the couple had to make to be with each other. "It gets daunting when you're treated like an outsider at times — at tourist attractions where you pay thrice the fee, or while at a jog where people point at you and yell out. But the bigger picture for me is that Mumbai has given me the person I love. Shweta gave up her spacious Malad flat to live in a 1BHK with me because I love the sea face at Versova," says Alex. Spending time alone, enjoying nights out with friends and missing one another enough to not take the partner for granted is what keeps them going.
"Alex isn't too romantic by nature. But I don't feel the pinch because he brings so much more perspective to the concept of marriage. So often, in a relationship, we shoot our mouth off to prove a point to our partner. Alex doesn't — he believes words can scar deeply sometimes and prefers to think before he speaks. I've started doing the same, and I realise it has changed our method of resolving issues altogether," says Shweta. "If you take the cultural differences off our marriage, I'd be a very boring person. Trust me, I am interesting and sensible only to an Indian woman," laughs Alex.
Not without my family
Yan & Geetanjali
For someone who considered marriage as "a waste of time" until five years ago, Yan Garin didn't even have to be convinced by Geetanjali Bakshi to marry her within a year of dating
. Then a documentary filmmaker, Yan met Geetanjali in Paris in 2005 by chance during her flight's layover (she worked as an airhostess then.) "We kept scheduling our visits to meet up after that," explains Garin, 36. And that made him change his philosophy on marriage altogether? "Well, may be I was just getting old and gave in," he jokes.
Before marriage, Yan says the couple made the best from the surprises their cultural differences threw up. Marriage was a reality check of sorts. "I moved to India because Geetanjali had a career and her family here, and documentary filmmaking was something I could do based anywhere in the world," says Yan. He, however, gave up filmmaking after the couple had two sons — Aditya, 1, and Ayan, 3, and started an animation company. "To be honest, animation isn't my passion but that's the price I decided to pay to be around my wife and children," says Yan.
Yan admits he had a tough time coping with certain people here who weren't as zealous about their work as he was. "I was too used to working with a crew who was into filmmaking for the love of creativity. I miss that creative thinking."
Geetanjali understands this well and points out that had Yan not been as open to change, things wouldn't have worked out well. She says she sometimes wonders how would it have been being married to someone else. "Perhaps an Indian husband may have mollycoddled me, but I love how Yan treats me as his partner, not as his 'wife'. He doesn't expect me to wait on him, and readily stays back with the kids so I can enjoy nights out."
Yan believes it's all about understanding that most things work differently here and all you need to do is ask how. "In France, the two sets of in-laws barely bother knowing each other. But things are different here. I make it a point to ask Geetanjali about how I should behave to make her folks feel comfortable with her choice. Honestly, I really miss my friends, people who have the same wavelength as I do, who can laugh the same jokes as I, but I've never shied away from making an effort," says Yan.
"I met her through a mad house," he jokes. And, she's quick to retort: "No. I came to Bangalore from France to work on my PhD at Nimhans in 1984." An evening party at Casa Piccola changed their lives forever. "We spent hours talking and there was no looking back," says Bhushan, who owns the Casa Piccola chain of restaurants.
They then dated. Back in the '80s, when their love was growing, Bangalore was a different place. "We used to walk on MG Road for hours, talking and laughing. That's what I love about him - he makes me laugh so much," says 53-year-old Benjamine.
It took four years of friendship, fights, partying, travelling and discovering each other before they tied the knot. "Even the 10-year age gap between us only makes our relationship more level-headed," says Benjamine.
Their love continues to be as fresh as the morning coffee they drink together. "At 11am, every day, we sit together in our garden and enjoy a cup of coffee. Just knowing that she is there by my side is enough to take me through a long day," says Bhushan.
"We love to go in for early dinner at Casa De Sol on Residency Road, much before the crowd comes in — that's my ideal romantic evening," he adds.
Their cross-culture marriage didn't face the usual opposition from families. "Moreover, Bhushan does the cooking and I love it," says Benjamine. What's so special? "Good food and love — both need to be cooked slowly," says Bhushan with a wink.
The meeting was planned for March 16, 2007, by Blaser's Indian friend, Naveen, at the Ice Bar in Taj Residency. "By March 19, we wanted to date each other," says Anupama, who's from Delhi. Two weeks later, they decided to tie the knot.
"We got engaged while vacationing in Manali," says Anupama. "He woke me up at 4 am and casually asked me to marry him. I said yes," she recalls. Blaser then says: "We went looking for her ring. Before I knew it, I was down by a few lakhs!" Anupama laughs and adds: "On the way back, we stopped in Delhi to break the news to my parents. They were stunned but happy."
Anupama is his biggest support here when it comes to cultural advice. "During the wedding when the pundit was chanting the shlokas, my brother was translating the meanings for Rolf and his folks," says Anupama. Blaser is quick to add: "I should know what I'm in for, right?" They married where they first met — Taj Residency. "I watched Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding for practice," he grins. They got married in 2008, and Blaser stayed on, as it would have been difficult for Anupama to adjust in Switzerland.
"We always have dinner together. We watch Friends to relax, and love to read in bed," says Anupama.

It happens everyday over cups of coffee
Benjamine & Bhushan
Twenty-six years of marriage has done little to dim the sparkle in the eyes of Bhushan Oberoi every time he looks at his wife, Benjamine Oberoi — "Benji"."I met her through a mad house," he jokes. And, she's quick to retort: "No. I came to Bangalore from France to work on my PhD at Nimhans in 1984." An evening party at Casa Piccola changed their lives forever.

The Big fat indian wedding
Rolf & Anupama
I had never planned to make India my home," says Rolf Blaser, 36-year-old Swiss national and chief of operations, Nuance Group, Bengaluru International Airport. But that plan changed when he met the love of his life and, now, wife Anupama.The meeting was planned for March 16, 2007, by Blaser's Indian friend, Naveen, at the Ice Bar in Taj Residency. "By March 19, we wanted to date each other," says Anupama, who's from Delhi. Two weeks later, they decided to tie the knot.

Where is you at all times that I've missed?
Do you understand me in the empty moments of our lives?At some moments I can see the immensity of the world and how distant we become. Farther from each other every day.
Unaware of each other's feelings.
Without knowing each other, day to day.
Knowing each other only the certainty of love.
