He is what I call an 'anti thesis' of me. Simply put, we are complete opposites!
He's tall, well built, athletic- a fitness freak, who never misses his workout and diligently follows his diet. An excellent sportsman, who excels at all physical activities.
I am the kind who wants to be a 'rock' in her next birth, so I don't even have to breathe or move! I'm anything but a fitness enthusiast, especially when it comes to exercising or gymming! And I don't diet!đŹ
He isn't much into reading or books. He feels he isn't able to express himself well in 'beautiful' words and sometimes regrets not reading much!
Me? I'm a law graduate. I'm quite the bookworm and when i have a book to read I can just forget about everything else! I love books and enjoy reading as well as writing. Yes, I can express my feelings in 'beautiful' words.đ
Gadgets excite him and he is a total gadget junkie! He loves shooting and editing videos; he is quite a pro! His photography skills are exceptional too but his videos are mind blowing!
I'm glad I share a similar passion for photography but I'm still very raw . As for gadgets, they aren't my cup of tea! I'm probably the only computer 'illiterate' in our family of 4!
Born and brought up in the formal and disciplined environment of the Fauj, I was always averse to boys with long hair, brightly coloured hair, tattoos and earrings!
But he has tattoos and colours his hair often and even had long hair sometime back! Guess what? I just found it all adorable! He taught me not to judge a person by his/her looks. In fact I loved his red hair so much that I got it too! Why? Because I wanted to!
He is quite creative and a gifted artist. He draws and paints, although he hasn't taken formal lessons for the same. He credits his genes for this talent!
And then there's moi who doesn't have a single artistic bone in my body! Except for art and science classes at school, I couldn't draw or paint for the life of me!!!
He loves to eat and he does eat a lot! He also loves cooking and apparently cooks well. Watching him eat can make anyone feel ravenously hungry! I'm sure he would do justice to the one who cooks for him!
As for me, I'm least interested in food- cooking or eating! I do both because I have to! I love baking though; it's like therapy.
He is fearless! It seems there's nothing he is scared of and his friends and family vouch for that. Be it roller coaster rides or bungee jumping or hanging on a zip line several feet above the ground! A powerful and passionate performer, he strives for perfection in all that he does.Â
 I'm quite the scaredy cat đ! Heights, roller coasters, airplane rides, driving a car, going to a doctor ( especially a dentist đ±), I 'm scared of it all! And more! Sorry buddy, no overlaps here, other than the fact that I strive for perfection, too!
But we have something in common after all- photography, travel and most importantly music.
When he sings with his beautiful doe eyes closed( or open....), his voice is mellow and soothing. The kind that touches the depths of one's heart. A soulful voice that keeps you warm when it's cold and calms your stressed out mind. When he sings, I just close my eyes and lose myself in its magic. I have cried my heart out with his voice and smiled through my tears too. When I feel sad and empty, his voice cheers me up and fills up my empty heart with hope and warmth. Sometimes I find myself in a well of darkness and his voice reaches out to me and guides me to the light at the end of that hopeless darkness.
He is literally half my age and we have never met. He is a world famous artist and I'm a homemaker in my 40s ,a mother of 2, living in a country which he will probably never visit! He doesn't even know I exist nor does he know how his voice heals the pain inside me. I will probably never even see him face to face in my lifetime but I would like to hope that I would.... Perhaps someday, somehow.... And yes, he's the one who graces my FB cover picture so often!
He isn't just a muse or a celebrity crush for me because neither do I want to marry him( I'm already married to the man I love!) nor do I fantasise about him! He is more than just a 'handsome face'. He is the voice that calls out and the hand that pulls me out from the vortex of sadness, emptiness and darkness that I get sucked into sometimes. He was with me in my saddest moments and my weakest ones. With his beautiful voice and loving words he gave me the strength to overcome those moments.
He has no expectations out of me nor does he judge me. For him, I'm not a daughter, a wife, a mother or a sister, I'm just ME! My age, my looks, my skin colour, race , religion, caste or ethnicity doesn't define me as a person nor does my nationality or mother tongue! He only gives- love, hope, solace, comfort, happiness, warmth, acceptance,a sense of belonging- through his beautiful music and never asks for anything in return! He makes me feel young and hopeful! He doesn't even know me but loves me ,like he loves all his countless fans all over the world,which makes me feel loved and appreciated. How do I know that? Well, that's between him and me... A bond which is intangible, invisible, nameless...
