Famous Jayita Bhattacharjee Quotes

“Take what you have of what remains, take the colors of what is still left, for this is the flame that will set your soul ablaze before that moment comes when the leaf trembles shuddering in its last joy, the robin cries knowing it is the last song. Sing, Sing, O Sojourner, no season is meant to stay. The deeps are filled with a bitter sweet nostalgia... the cinnamon, nutmeg, cider roast smell, the earth sparkling, feasting on the colors, the grounds merry making as the leaves softly play, for this is the life's sacred performance art, as the earth is playing the grand finale before it slips in the winter's white silence....”

“In the depths of my longing, there comes the tides of love and a dream I once had as the sky breaks in the blush of a sunset. The hushed evening moments, how I devour it with the longing of a starving deep, to pen a poem with unflinching desire..pushing through what is unmet in this life and there comes the raw prose, the unfading emotions to surface that lived in my soul for ages.”

“Recollecting the treasured memories.... strengthens the shared meaning .... and builds deeper emotional connection...it is a relational way of reminiscing the olden memories...By opening them again with the other....it becomes a throwback to the forgotten past....but as you gather those times...it becomes a shared moment cuddling by the fire...for no longer are they memories frozen mutely in time...rather a melting past revived to savor a lifeless relationship....”

“It was a moment of despair, it was a moment of dream...when one chapter ended, so another could begin. It was a moment of darkness, it was a moment of light when the night ended so dawn could show its face. It was the finest of emotions, it was the coarsest of feelings when you released what tormented you yet delighted you at the same time. It was the moment of tearing, it was the moment of meeting...when the old self fell into pieces and the new one revealed in light..”

“Let me ask you.... what pulls you into life ...when you gulp inside the hardest of ache...let me ask you.....how you still go on living... knowing the roots have grown so dull....let me ask you ....how you continue living...knowing every walk has become the hardest slog..... for beneath the leaves are the memories... you carefully pushed aside...let me ask you how you meet your eyes when all that you housed inside....is still breathing and burning you alive.....could it be a joy on the other side of loss....could it be a dream on the other side of despair.....”

“To approach another thoughtfully...to respect the opinion despite the differences...to be willing to know about another's dreams and despairs...and to remain unabsorbed in your own world so as not to forget the other..is to recognize and acknowledge that their existence matters....that shapes the health of your relationship...so in togetherness, you both can build respect and awareness of one another consciously...thus it becomes the purposeful building of a relationship.....”
