“Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it’s cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it. . . . It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk everything, you risk even more”.
~~ Erica Jong in How to Save Your Own Life (1977)

Why does most people have a problem with honesty? I would rather take a mean sounding honest remark from someone than fake compliment.
What’s with this weather? Can’t it stay stable for a while?
Why can’t people learn to dress well?
While we are on dressing sense, why do they have to use those strong smelling talcums? Hello, some people have sensitive noses!!!
And those horrible smelling perfumes/deos… eewwww.. Leave my nose alone
Why can’t tickets be cheap? I wanna spend my best friends birthday with him.. Or better why cant we tele-port?
Why the double standards on eating habits or behavioral habits due to religion?
Why Long Long meetings over trivial issues?
And why some people love to talk in such meetings so much? Half hour to express 1 point!!! Gimme a Break!!
People who speak for sake of speaking should be shot..
along with those who spam your mailbox with irrelevant info..
There should be glasses which can filter out people you don’t like..
Also I want a automated response system which explains to people why I haven’t been calling them or meeting them often.. You know usual excuse machine..

of disappointments I’ll cause,
of disappointments I’ll see,
of the pain I’ll cause,
of the pain I’ll feel.
I’m scared that you’ll find out the truth
that you’ll figure me out
I’m not so perfect, even though I claim to be
I’m not so nice, there’s lot of evil in me
I’m scared,
of the intensity you have
of the certainty you feel
of the love you crave
Overall I’m just scared that I’ll not be person you’ve been dreaming to meet
you’ll be disappointed to see that I’m just another girl on the street
I love to be right..

Recent trip to Rishikesh with few friends just proved how important it is for couples to take a vacation together before getting committed.
I would rather travel with someone who doesn’t share my interests than someone who wouldn’t let me follow mine..
I wonder if I should admire people who avoid conflict at any cost or should I pity them? Their life is being decided by somebody else and all they do is make excuses..
Too Bad.. Life is so much more fun when you get to do things your way..
Indian Politics and its Issues

Congress wants BJP to expel Mr. Modi.
Everyone is against BJP because it’s Hindu Oriented Approach.
Congress wants Muslims to feel safe.
BSP wants Dalits to be safe.
Left wants Capitalists to go away.
But no one wants my country to succeed. No one mentions bad infrastructure in most places. No one cares that majority of country lacks basic necessary items to survive. No one cares half the children in my country are on street. No one is even mentioning Environmental issues. Corruption is still a forgotten term.
If we can focus so much on religion and Castes, Can’t we spend just a bit time on real issues?
By the way, Hate Mr.Modi all you want, You just can’t ignore him. Mr. Modi is one of the most talked about politician, both in negative and positive sense. He has made Gujarat economically the most viable state today. His dedication to development of state has all CEOs singing his praises. People coming from Ahmadabad seem to agree as well. Don’t believe me?? Try picking up 2 month old issues of India Today where they focused on Gujarat.

This is written by a friend as an entry to a contest. I just loved the way it’s written. I’m sure even if you haven’t seen the movie, you would appreciate it. Big Thanks for letting me post it, Udai..
Sometimes love is not about a shared past, nor about prospects for a future. Sometimes love exists in transience – in the bittersweet moments of the present, whether it’s conversations over drinks, or songs sung in a karaoke bar, or in secrets that can only be told to strangers.
Bob, an actor forgotten in the US, married for years but at a static point in that relationship, is in Japan to shoot a commercial, when he meets Charlotte and they share such moments. Highly educated and beautiful, yet she is struggling for the attention of her photographer husband. They both meet in a hotel, and the chemistry is instantaneous. Rather than succumbing to this attraction though, they end up sharing an intimacy deeper than anything physical. Feelings, laughs, looks of unspoken understanding about lives dissimilar yet so similar. What they share are moments. These, at one level, seem far away from the mundane lives where their own respective spouses exist, yet when the two part ways, it seems these moments end up helping the two transcend what they are facing in those same lives.
A poignant story of such a transformation in the backdrop of the beautiful, alien world of Tokyo.
