Author : Samuh Varta      Blog : Parcha      Date : 6/3/2012 4:22:00 AM

'The following is a translation of the first two stanzas of Cesar Vallejo's Los Heraldos Negros. Words were transliterated and then a sentence was framed to make sense of them. The end result could deviate from original meaning.There are blows in life, so hard ... I don't know(Yo no se)Blows conveying the hatred of god, as if in taking themeven the pull of the greatest suffering that plagued your soul seems weak ... Yo no se.They are few but they are there ... they open deep, dark fu(...)'

They have their own priorities.  Never trust anyone who has lied to you. They never trusted you to tell the truth.Learn to distinguish between people who will just hang around from those who really want to be with you.If yo(...)'

'I have learned, the hard way that --A man's love is only as pure, meaningful, effective and beautiful as his other half perceives or deems it to be. What you think of it only determines your willingness to make it work. You can reiterate upon it again and again but it does not necessarily make a difference. Like they say, love feels like friendship. Only with more "ganas" or desire. Fueled by fire of passion. When deeply felt, it is said to move mountains. Otherwise, all those words(...)'

'Every person has two mothers -- two women, who give him birth. The actual mother in blood and flesh. And their motherland. It is also true that a mother and her love is missed the most, when a child is stuck in depths of distress. Following is an excerpt from my diary.Right when the world within me was tearing me up and the sad, dark blanket of a lonely night was about to engulf me, consume me, I wished she walked into my room and held me in her warm, comfortable embrace.
