Comments please...

Any resemblance of any character on this blog to anyone living or dead is purely coincidental. No names have been mentioned to protect both the innocent and the guilty. This is a work of pure fiction and please treat it that way!!


Once there was a beautiful girl, very innocent and very bubbly. There came a guy into her life. She liked the exuberance, enthusiasm and the joyful nature of that guy. He was someone with no care in the world, meant to be free and to bring joy to everybody around him!
The girl loved the guy and the guy adored the girl. They were perfect for each other and complemented each other in almost everything. They enjoyed every moment of their life.
One day she thought, that the guy might want to visit far off places and reach far greater heights. She knew she could not feel the same about any other guy and was envious of the heights that he was beginning to reach. She felt that he would leave her when he reached those far places. But little did she realize that she was in him all along.
She thought "I am going to set a trap. The next time the guy comes, he will never leave again"
The guy who was also deeply in love with the girl appeared the very next moment, fell into the trap and was literally put in a cage.
She could see him everyday . There he was the object of her passion, and she showed him to her friends proudly, who said "Now what else do you desire?? You have everything!"
However a drastic change started taking place in the guy. He was unable to come out of the emotional shackles put on him. He lost his usual cheerfulness and hence express the true meaning of his life, began to waste away and lost his humor and patience . Also since the girl had the guy, she no longer had to woo him and was taking him for granted.

It is a War out there.......

This actually started as a comment to a post I read

What she has written is true.... and it is really sad and pathetic that such practices prevail still.

Quoting her, "how can I love a GOD that tells me that i cannot pray when I want to". You are very right in that!! I agree totally, but did that GOD tell you not to pray?? No I beg to differ here, it is some hypocrites who have contrived and bend the system for GOD alone knows what purpose.

And the question still in my mind is why??

I have stopped visiting any religious places long time ago. But does that make me any less religious?? Is my belief in GOD a party to my visit to these religious places?? If that is the case I would say "bollocks" and move on..

I have always believed in the fact that we have (or should I say had??) religious tolerance in our country. A (wo)man's religion is (her)his private affair. My religion is my own and I shall make no public statement on it. So it pains when all I see in the newspapers and the TV channels is religion religion and more religion. Casteism, gender discrimination etc. etc. And people destroying (wo)men and material just on these basis.

Why can't we treat a human being as just another human being, irrespective of his race, color or creed? I remember singing a community song everyday during my school days. It used to be in different languages. I never understood them at that time, except for being a necessary evil. But now when I think back upon those lines " Mazhab nahi sikhata aapas mein bair rakhna ". Have we forgotten all those.

I don't know what the future holds, but if all this is what we have to see, then it is really sad.

I found this on the website .

I found it very relevant to what's happening to me. So thought will just post it here.

Handling a Break Up Without Looking Desperate

by Jennifer Good

Your whole world can suddenly seem turned upside down when you learn the sad reality that the love you thought was forever is now over. It's like unexpectedly being doused with an icy cold bucket of water. You're instantly forced to look at everything differently and realize your day to day life will no longer include the one you love. However, the key to holding onto any type of future relationship with this person is keeping your dignity and grace during your time of discomfort and pain.

You may not be thinking about it now, but a great friendship could still develop out of this relationship. You cared for them enough to enter into a romantic relationship, so it stands to reason they just might make a great friend in the future. The way you react or act during this period will determine the likelihood of this.

If in fact, you are going through a break up right now, keep in mind these tips for keeping a level head.

1. Don't initiate contact for at least two weeks. If they call you, keep the conversation short and do NOT rehash what went wrong.
   
   
2. If you feel you must say something to them; go buy a journal and write down everything you are feeling and want to say. Even go so far as to address the letter to them, however, do NOT mail it. This is just a vessel for getting your thoughts out. Trust me; you'll be glad you kept your thoughts to yourself someday!
   
   
3. Make sure to express your gratitude about having the opportunity to share so many pleasant memories with them. Wish them well with whatever future may be in store for them.
   
   
4. Do not spend hours upon hours deliberating by yourself or with friends about what could have gone wrong. It isn't healthy to dwell on the past or the negative. If you need to powwow with friends, focus on doing creative or action-oriented things to keep your mind busy.
   
   
5. As soon as you are able to start shifting your focus to your new life. You've just been given a new opportunity to start on a new path. What will it be? Take this time to do something you've always wanted, but just didn't get to while you were with your ex.
   
   
6. Accept responsibility that you contributed to the demise of the relationship, however, that it was also a two-way street. There's no need to dwell on what each person "did" or "did not" do. Assess for yourself what relationship areas you could probably address for future relationships and make a commitment to do something about it.
   
   
7. If your ex wants to give the relationship another chance, don't say yes immediately. Take some time to really gauge whether the original problems have been handled. If they haven't, it will only be a matter of time before you're going through all of this again.
   
   
8. If your ex is already seeing someone new, try your best to avoid seeing them together. Take comfort in the knowledge that if they were interested enough to date someone else, they were never your Mr. or Ms. Right! That means your perfect someone is still out there waiting to be found.

LOVE is....

Love is a song with so many words,
Love is a nest with so many birds,
Love is a night with so many dreams,
And all that it takes,
To love some one is,
To LOVE to the extremes.

I Love You for So Many Reasons ... by Susan Polis Schutz

Before I met you
I spent a lot of time
meeting all kinds of people
I had a lot of fun
and learned a lot
Though each person I met
had great characteristics
something was missing

No one person
had all the qualities that
I had hoped a person could have
someone whose every action
and thought I could respect
someone who was very intelligent
yet could also be fun-loving
someone who was sensitive,
yet virile
exciting and sensuous
someone who knew what they wanted
out of life
a beautiful person inside and out

I could not find a person like this
until I met you
I love you

FOR ME TO LOVE YOU

Between the past that was,
And the future that is to be.
You are my living present,
You are mine, here and now,
And I am your's.

The more I gaze at you,
The more I understand you.
I see a dream in your eyes,
Reach out for it, because it is closer than you think.
Only you can make that dream come true,
Because, you are stronger than you think.

I don't have to go away from you to miss you,
I don't have to see you to think of you,
I don't have to hold you to want you,
I don't have to be in your arms to need you.

But all that I have to know is that,
You love me, For me to love you!!

MEMORIES

It seems like a dream,
Or, is it just a thought!
You seem close, but,
I know you are not!
I close my eyes and I see you there,
So far you are, I just can't bear!
The feeling that I had will never die,
Because I loved you once and you know it wasn't a lie!!!

LIVING LOVE

Why is my eye today,
Filled with a fear?
I wrote so many things,
For you, my dear,
Duping me with every step,
With a very soothing smile.
You hurt me always,
And you made me cry.
Why did you create love,
Only in your eye?
With questions unanswered?
Yet my love for you will never die.....

A Letter to YOU

I have a choice of writing you a letter,
Or writing a poem.
I have decided to do both.

After all, what is a poem,
But a letter in a bottle floated out to sea.
A vague hope that someone, somewhere,
Between laughter and sleep,
Will pause and pick it up and read.

Of my longings, hopes, silence, despairs,
Dreams, deaths, waiting, lovings.
Sifting through the words,
Blowing husks and dust away,
They'll see a silkworm spinning,
Strings around its soul.

Maybe my love wishes to be a silkworm,
Painfully oozing the finest threads,
That one day on a singing loom will make,
A flowing sheet, blue as morning
Gold as the heart of sunflower,
Green as the juices of grass.
When it clings to your skin,
Remember my touch.

My love is an aftermath of a dark dream,
The first toddy from a palm,
Like an athlete running into blankness,
Shuddering and gasping,
A traveler into the dark night,
No stars to guide his way,
Only the certitude of his own senses.

To love is to die
Let the wind scatter me, where it will,
Let the rain beat down, dissolve my bones.
Vanish me, vanish me, vanish me....
Vanish all of me, all that is me, all that is me....

No Intimacy Please

I do fear intimacy,
Why?
Because I don't often rise to occasions,
I quarrel very easily,
I expect more.

i may neglect an abuse,
From a stranger or mad.
But I can't bear,
A look down from my friends.
A difference in tone even,
Worries me greatly.

Better being superficial,
I limit my circles,
So NO INTIMACY PLEASE!!

How Wrong Was I

I thought that you would understand,
That I too belong to this very land.

I thought that when I was feeling blue,
All I had to do, is turn to you.

I thought that you make my hurt feel lighter,
And assure me, that the future is a lot brighter.

I thought that with you by my side,
I could cross any sea, ocean or tide.

I thought that you were above all those fishes in the sea,
And you for one understood me.

But, how wrong was I to make so much,
Of something that meant nothing more than a healing touch!

It happened on a Friday night.........PART1

Hi guys,

I want to tell you all about a great adventure that we ( Deepak, Karthik MN
and me ) had.

The story begins on a Friday night (December 1, 2006).........

After a day's hard work, we decided that we had to chill out somewhere.......
So we hit the Downtown PUB (off Brigade Road). It was then that I got to know
that it was MN's Birthday on the morrow. We all decided that we will stay
till 12 and then wish him and go home.
In the meantime, MN got the news that he had become an UNCLE ( Karthik Uncle).
He was very happy, so were we for him. We decided that we really had to
celebrate.
After we were literally asked to leave from the PUB at 2315hrs ( closing time you see, else cops will pick you up ), I started searching the various lanes to get a celebratory CIGAR!! ( what other way to celebrate MN's promotion to Uncle ).

ALAS!!

The night curfew holds good for my favourite shops too.. So downhearted we came back to in front of Downtown again and started to finish off the last of cigarettes that we had. At the same time around, we hear loud music as though the PUB has re-opened. We looked around and guess what????

It was an Auto that was parked there and that was the one playing the good music ( loud enough to bring the house down ). I swear to God, the quality of the speakers was also too good.

We stood there for about 10mins, then couldn't control ourselves and we hired the auto.

He asked "Where to saaar?"

But where would we go??
Our bikes were parked right in front of Downtown!! But we wanted to go in that AUTO very badly.....

So we say, " Nowhere, just take us around MG road!!"

He is surprised, but then MN explains to him in whatever Kannada that he could speak that his sister-in-law has given birth to a girl and he wants to celebrate...

The Auto fellow obliged, he gets into the AUTO and turns ON the meter....

That was surprising on Suresh's part. ( That was the fellow's name, I noted it from the Drivers card that they sport nowadays)

He took us to the end of MG road, came till Jewels de pargon, took a left, through Lavelle road, into St. Marks road and back to residency road.

Just near Imperial hotel ( Ya, the one that remains open till 2am ), we stopped him and went to replenish our cigarettes stock. Then I suddenly remembered the CIGAR....

Guess what, that fellow had it and we bought one...

Came back to Downtown. Paid the AUTO, it was worth the money and a ride to remember. Going through MG road with speakers on FULL BLAST........... that too in an AUTO.

I dunno how many of you had that kind of experience.......

Anyways it was around 1159. We light the cigar and give MN a hug and wish him for the BIRTHDAY.....

Then MN is a tad unhappy as nobody called him on his cell. Then suddenly his cellphone rings, he picks it up and sees the screen, then picks up the call and says,

" Hello AJAY"

I say, " HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAN".

Yes guys I was the one who called him and wished him as he wanted someone to call him too.

Then the phone rings again and this time it is Deepak.

Deepak says, " Hey MN, VERY VERY HAPPY RETURNS of THE DAY".

How could we not fulfill a guy's Birthday wish????????

Then after he gets one or two calls who wish him Birthday...

He is HAPPY and is literally on TOP of the world.


Then...................

All of you, who thought that the story is over, it has just begun.
