Marriages and KUNG FU

Image
The two words are synonymous! Let me explain. My husband and I have been married for almost six months now. He is a peace loving soul and would like for us to never ever fight. My reaction to that 'want' apart from some eye rolling is one single 'pfffft'. Now, before I go on, I'd just like to say for myself that I would also love peace, who wouldn't?  Now that we've established that, let me also say that I'm very short tempered. My patience levels are low, and I react. I'm bad at hiding, even for over five minutes how I feel about a situation. SO bad in fact that I don't even need to say a single word. My face says it all! And my husband for one, knows exactly when that expression changes as well (he's a quick learner). He gets upset that I'm upset now and instead of calmly working through the reaction as we should do as full grown adults we panic and say things that have no relevance. We get angry and say hurtful thin...

Romantic comedy, why?

Image
Have you noticed how the end of every romantic comedy ends making you believe that everyone falls in love in the end somehow.  Suddenly,  two characters in a fictional  movie is 'everyone'. And you would think that considering you are the leading lady in your life this should be your ending too.  The worst part is you can't even blame the storyteller. I mean he/she is showing you the whole picture, so many characters whose roles you will probably fit into..the colleague, the friend, the neighbor who even towards the end is still watching tv, eating popcorn or hooking up with yet another wrong guy which doesn't really show a conclusive end to her tale is still portrayed.. but  is obviously not the part you signed up for in YOUR life right?  Yet, time and time again all you want to do on a depressing night is pop in a rom-com Dvd. Why? a) You repeatedly lead yourself to believe you are still mid-way through your story and your happ...

Too much of anything

Seems like forever since I wrote. Ironic since I write for work every single day. For some reason a deadline makes anything you love lose its essence. I wonder if a coffee taster savors every sip at work the way every coffee lover does each morning? Does a singer really love to sing the same (popular) song that brought him/her fame every fortnight at concerts? The magic of composing the song is far from the reality of re-singing it like a broken record. I'm the kind of person who, when I fall in love with a song tend to obsess and listen to it over and over till I reach a certain point when I think the song isn't so great after all. I wonder if a career in what you love can make you actually dislike it at some point?  ok lets be practical, any career will make you dislike it at some point ;) The logic makes sense even if we were to put it into a relationship cycle. Boy girl fall madly in love - can't get enough of each other and decide to get married - then they ...

On love, dreams and loss

I think the worst part of young romance is that; yes, they fade away because of a simple cause like age, but unfortunate still is that you lose a friend. Probably one that you could have had for life. That is the worst part really, the departure of a true friend. On losing friends, The loss of a friend. By death or as bad when you are both alive and not willing to kick ball together. I have lost more than one friend not because of death. Fortunately, I have lost none to death ; so I cannot truly say which is worse by experience. What I have experienced is that we allow different parts of our personality to come alive with different friends and when the friendship dies; sadly, that part of us does too. On Dreams, Dreams are a mystery. Are they in some strange way reality? Are they even connected to reality? Or are they just an interpretation of what we really want? For all we know they could just be random thoughts the mind brings together when it gets bored of the sleeping ...

Day 6 :) ARRIVALS!!!

Image
I started my day early today, and was at the airport way before my mom's plane could land and the flight was delayed! So,I just sat around watching the display board and everyone coming and going. I love ARRIVALS :) I just love to watch people meeting after a gap, and you can even gauge the possible duration of separation and the intimacy between the person arriving and the receiving party. You may have noticed that a fair share of people are so shy to display their emotions and yet something as small as the lighting up of their faces gives them away in an instant:)Its sweet! I sat there watching and smiling, and smiling some more :D Who ever said distance makes the heart grow fonder knew what he was talking about! So there was this particular man who was really restless in the waiting area with me, he kept peeping through the glass, looking at his watch and the display TV so frequently I was starting to get a little nervous! I thought something must be wrong! After a good tw...

FATHERS & DAUGHTERS

"Once I wished upon a star for a daughter to love, then one day you came into my life, like a burst of sunshine.. Now every year I watch u grow more wonderful, and every year I love u more.. Happy Birthday Darling!!" These are the words of a card I will never forget.. a card my dad sent me for my birthday..I don't remember how old I turned that day but I will remember it till however old I turn in the future..! There has to be a reason God made dads and I think it is to remind every girl just how special she is. Every Friday for as long as I remember (till I was young enough to wear those frilly frocks!)I had to wear a decent dress,with shoes and frilly socks when we went for mass...and every Friday my dad would tell me that I look beautiful.. even on the days I wore the most outrageous outfits and even I knew that! But the point is he wasn't even lying to me.. to him I did look beautiful... and I probably would, even in a paper bag!! I sometimes wonder why the bond b...

i carry your heart with me

This is my all time favorite poem..especially the last few lines..just felt I had to put it up!..Its a must-read :) hope you like it !! Its by E.E.Cummings. It goes like this.. I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart) I am never without it (anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling) I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)

RELATIONSHIPS ?!!?%#%&^*^%%

What do relationships mean to different people? How different is one relationship from the next or how similar?? For some people, its so important what other people think of them.. to the extent that they live their whole lives trying to impress the world..! Most of the time we don't realize that we really are not answerable to anyone! (Except on judgment day of course;)) But then again, can you live your life without caring about what the world thinks? I mean ultimately, come on, let's be honest, we all wanna be universally loved ;) But then, of the 100's of people we interact with.. Why is it that some people have such a huge impact on our lives? For no reason at all? And it hurts when you don't have the same impact on them? I think its more of what importance we give the other person that lets them have that impact on us in the first place! So it all then comes to why we give some people so much more importance.And do they really deserve all that extra attention in a...

DOGGIES N LOVE :)

Image
To me dogs are THE most adorable creatures on the planet! I love dogs! I love the way they're tails are always wagging in friendly welcome! The way they hang out their tongues and salivate, the way they perk their ears at the slightest noise..and the way they're soooooo happy just to be running around acting busy:) I am extremely passionate about them!! I dunno why but all I have to do is just see a dog pass by and it makes me smile!! I meet one and it makes my day! Its not so with everyone else!! I know lots of people who will walk an extra road just to avoid a dog!! I think that if you've ever had a dog or at-least interacted quite a bit with one you'd feel just the way I do! Because I don't know any other living being who will be so happy to see you.. for absolutely no reason.. its beyond my understanding :) and with the same enthusiasm!! Its awfully sweet !! And what I love the most about them is that they are so loving.. towards anyone! They don't care how...
