Dear Krishna,
Let's make a bet
If I win, you're mine.
If you win, I'm yours.

Anyway
Love, love, love this so much!
"People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
- Mother Teresa

I am learning...
He who perceives Me everywhere and beholds everything in Me never loses sight of Me, nor do I ever lose sight of him.
— The Bhagavad Gita VI:30
I am learning, Krishna, I am learning. I am starting to see you in everything now. I even see you when I look in the mirror. You test me, from time to time. It shatters me completely- I'm still a naive little child- and then I pick up my own pieces and restore myself to go on to have another day of loving you. I will love you forever. The soul is eternal, so are you. Therefore, I do not ever worry about death anymore. My body, my mind, my material belongings are yours to keep- you can take back whatever you've given to me- because none of it is mine, anyway.
Krishna is love- and there is love in all of us. Some of us just don't see it. They are the ones who need even more loving.

Star Vicino- Those Italians know how to tug at people's heartstrings
Star vicino al bell' idol, che s'ama,
E il piu vago diletto d'amor
Star lontano dal ben che si brama
E d'amore il piu vivo dolor
E il piu vago diletto d'amor
Star lontano dal ben che si brama
E d'amore il piu vivo dolor

Stereo Love
When you gonna stop breaking my heart I don't wanna be another one Paying for the things I never done Don't let go, don't let go to my love I hate to see you cry, your smile is a beautiful lie. I hate to see you cry, my love is dying inside. I can fix all those lies, oh, baby, baby, I run, but I'm running to you You won't see me cry, I'm hiding inside My heart is in pain, but I'm smiling for you. Can I get to your soul ? Can you get to my thoughts ? Can you promise we won't let go ? All the things that I need, all the things that you need You can make it feel so real. 'Cause you can't deny, you've blown my mind When I touch your body, I feel I'm losing control 'Cause you can't deny, you've blown my mind When I see you baby, I just don't wanna let go When you gonna stop breaking my heart I don't wanna be another one ... I hate to see you cry, your smile is a beautiful lie. I hate to see you cry, my love is dying inside. I can fix all those lies, oh, baby, baby, I run, but I'm running to you You won't see me cry, I'm hiding inside My heart is in pain, but I'm smiling for you. Oh, baby, I'll try to make the things right I need you more than air, when I'm not with you Please, don't ask me why, just kiss me this time My only dream is about you and I.

A letter to K
I want to leave everything up to you, Krishna. I will never fear, for you are always with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
I love you so much, Krishna. I feel lonely sometimes- my fingertips get cold as I lie alone in my bed. My breath speeds up, then slows down abnormally. My heart jumps up and down, and yet, my body does not have the strength to get up. At the same time, I cannot make myself go back to sleep. I cry tears of hopelessness, until I reach that one moment when I am able to catch hold of myself and chant "Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, Krishna....". It is my faith in you that keeps me going day after day.
I won't lie- there are times when I feel that everything that I believe in is just a figment of my imagination- every wish, every desire. But then, the countless times that you saved me or granted me my wishes flash in front of my eyes. I have no right to think that Krishna does not listen, I rebuke myself. I do not know your leela, my lord. As a human, I think that I have everything figured out. Foolish me! I begin to look for a pattern, a way to "solve" the problem, a way to figure out your grand plan, your leela. Little do I realize that I am too small, too insignificant, too inconsequential to even know where to begin. I return disappointed. It is my ego, my false arrogance that causes me this suffering. Can you please do me a huge favor, Krishna, and destroy these devils of my mind? They are my biggest enemies, and prevent me from taking steps to move further in my life.
I need you to keep my faith strong and unshakable. Yes, I cannot avoid suffering, but I can learn to overcome it. Perhaps this suffering is there for a reason- and that reason is that I remember you more when I suffer. I will change that, I promise. I will always pray to you and remember how you were with me in my times of need- even when the garden of my life is green again. Will you please be my teacher? Who better than you, my lord. If you're the Captain of my ship, I will surely reach the shores safe.
Your Truly,
Shreya
