You know why I like to take my time when I kiss you; for that reason alone.

So I can draw as many of your breaths into my lungs as I can; so I can have you till my last breath, knowing that one day my last breath might very well be the last breath I stole from you to keep me alive one more second when I was kissing you gently.

 So you see now why its not just a kiss.

Its like my last breath every time I kiss.

~Amit Rai

"When you fall in love, it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots are become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part." ~Captain Corelli's Mandolin

There are only four questions of value in life. What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made of? What is worth living for? What is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love." ~ Don Juan DeMarco

"Have you never met a woman who inspires you to love? Until your every sense is filled with her? You inhale her. You taste her. You see your unborn children in her eyes and know that your heart has at last found a home. Your life begins with her, and without her it must surely end." ~Don Juan DeMarco

I love that you get cold when it's seventy degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend a day with you I can still smell your perfume on my clothes, and I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night." ~ When Harry met Sally

"Maria. I just met a girl named Maria, and suddenly that name will never be the same to me. Maria. I just kissed a girl named Maria, and suddenly I've found how wonderful a sound can be. Maria. Say it loud and there's music playing. Say it soft and it's almost like praying. Maria. I'll never stop saying Maria." ~ West Side Story

"Look. I guarantee there'll be tough times. I guarantee that at some point, one or both of us is gonna want to get out of this thing. But, I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life, because I know, in my heart, you're the only one for me" ~ The Runaway Bride
 

I have always believed that I have a dancers soul. So much so, that it often reflects in my sense of dressing, the way I go about my everyday chores, even my handwriting( yes words do seem to dance of the page).

Music is something that is constantly in my head. There is always the old creaking of a gramophone, the constant whirring of a record, and the blare of pure melody through the trumpet. Of course this little record player in my head comes with a 12 cd changer. I flip through music with such speed, it often surprises me.

But what surprises me the most is not the way I can change music. It is the way I change how I picture a dance to go with the song of the moment. From slow, romantic tunes to hard beating dance songs, there is always a never ending blur of choreography whizzing along the alleys of my mind. Each step, like a silken ribbon falling out of nowhere, but in perfect harmony to the music.

Yes, dance is my passion. After all I have a dancers soul.

I leave you with a photo taken mid-way through a recent performance. The two wonderful young ladies are my sisters (one in red is the real one- Disha, the other in black, my first cousin, Sonam)

It is always, always a pleasure performing with these two. They share my soul after all.
