Fav moments

Some of the small things we would cherish in life..

To laugh until our stomach hurts

To wake up and realize that it is possible to sleep for some more time

The last 5 min of the final exam

Unexpected calls at night that last for hours

To see an old friend after years and feel that things haven't changed

To hear a song that makes u remember a special person

To have somebody who tells you that he/she misses u like crazy

To walk into an empty house and be surprised to see it packed with your friends on your b'day

The long awaited proposal at the banks of the Charles River

When that special person calls in spite of their busy schedule and he/she tells u that we can talk for 5 more mins

A million $ question

I am writing about marriages after reading a fellow blogger's post and after realizing that my sister just completed her first month of married life!!

I have always wondered if it is possible to choose a person with whom u are going to spend the rest of your life, in a matter of few days or weeks.. May be for some this seems very plausible but I still wonder..

A few phone conversations and meetings cannot be the grounds on which one decides to get married to the other.

Love vs. Arranged marriages:

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages..

Love marriages are becoming very common these days.Everyone seems to be in a steady relationship but do they all end up in Holy Matrimony??? I doubt that.. One thing which most of us forget is, when our parents have brought us up for say 23-25 years, wouldn’t they know what is best for us?? It is not like they would want us to marry someone blind folded or force anything on us.

My sister had an arranged marriage, but they decided on getting married only after some 10 months of getting to know each other.But the initial introduction and exchange of horoscopes was done by my parents.. Do u call this an arranged marriage or a love marriage?? Both my parents and my b-in-law’s parents are very happy and proud of them..

Love is not something very difficult to explain. It is trust with understanding and care for each other. I do know a lot of successful love marriages and quite a many arranged marriages that have failed.

Personally I don’t know what kind of marriage I will have.Will I meet the right guy, even if I do will I realize that?? I guess I will find answers to these questions in the near future!!!

Easy to loose ;)

It is not very difficult to loose someone u love.. but it is very difficult to get someone who truly loves u ..

In case u want to get rid of someone who is determined to get u, here are some sweet things to tell him/her ;)

Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head.

Of loving beauty you float with grace
If only you could hide your face

Kind, intelligent, loving and hot
This describes everything you're not

I love your smile, your face, and your eyes
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!

What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts vodka with one part lime

I see your face when I am dreaming
That's why I always wake up screaming

My feelings for you no words can tell
Except for maybe "go to hell"..

Good luck with loosing that someone!! (hope i dont get killed by the victim)

The man who deserves admiration

Boris Becker was born on Nov 22, 1967. He was 17 years old when he won the most sought after title, " The Wimbledon championship"..

It was in the year 1985 (I was about 3 years old, man too young to notice how cute he was!!) when this unseeded player won the title.. This was the first time in history when a lad so young, without much experience from the rural town of Leimen, Germany managed to bag the Wimbledon cup!!

Not only was he the youngest male to win Wimbledon but also the first German to win this prestigious cup..
He beat Kevin Curren (6-3,6-7,7-6,6-4) to become the most talked about personality in the history of Tennis.

He won the Wimbledon 3 times (1985,1986 and 1989). He has won six grand slam titles.
I still remember one match during the U.S Open when he got a pair of glasses from the spectators and gave it to the umpire, coz he thought that "the out call" was not right!!

Becker was known for his short temper.. He truly is a guy who deserves all our admiration (if not for his game at least for his good looks ;) ). By the way I always thought that Steffi and Becker made a cute pair.. Sad that it dint happen that way!! ;)

Too much??

When we have an over dosage of things, we get bugged of them irrespective of how interesting they were initially.. This is human nature.. But sometimes there are exceptions too..

Here is an example.. Mariah Carey's new release "We belong together" is being played at each and every radio station.. My friend keeps humming this song every 5 min.. He talks for 5 min and then begins to hum this song.. I went through this torture for 3 hours.. Now I kind of hate this song.. U might think I hate the song because of my friend's voice, which is partly true ;) but also because of listening to it over and over again!!.

Exceptions.. Two songs which I never get bugged off even if I hear it for the billionth time, Californication (RHCP) and Frozen (Madonna).. I don’t know why, but I guess I am in love with these two songs for eternity...

Choices in life

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
and sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
and looked down one as far as I could
to where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
and having perhaps the better claim
because it was grassy and wanted wear;
though as for that, the passing there
had worn them really about the same, .............

-Robert Frost

Every day each of us has choices to choose from.. The fact we sometimes fail to realize is that our tomorrow depends on the decision we make today!!

This poem "The road not taken" by Robert Frost is my all time favorite. I think it makes a lot of sense. Most of us at one point of time or the other, feel that we should have taken the other choice when we had to make a decision..
We tend to forget that we are what we are today not only because of the choice we made earlier but also because of the way we carried out the tasks in the chosen path.
It is not possible to know the future but at least we can predict it to a certain extent.

Today I am starting my own blog space. Thanks to Sid, I have started blogging!!!
