F.R.I.E.N.D.S

I have this current F.R.I.E.N.D.S fixation. It really seems to be the best series ever. I didnt even expect that that torrent will ever download completely and I will get all the seasons of F.R.I.E.N.D.S! When you look at them, see how they live, there is this little teeny weeny wish to have a life like that. How wonderful would it be to live with the best of your friends? To hang out with them , to stay as a family?? It is one hilarious series. But the strangest thing happened . I cried while watching it a few days back. I mean not cried cried. But I had these two tears peeping out of my eyes. It was so sad to see Joey sad. Falling in love with someone you cannot be with is really complicated. Makes the funniest of the person sad.
But Joey came back! Since the beginning of the show I have never been able to decide who is my most favorite character amongst all the 6 friends. Now that I am nearing to the end, I know it is Joey. Yesterday , Chandler was leaving and Joey would not let him go. "You are just a leaver ... a leaver with a stupid suitcase" and he pushes the suitcase, steals it and what not!!
He has some other memorable quotes too! "It hurts my Joey's apple". or when Chandler and Joey flips a coin to choose between ducks and clowns. Joey chooses head because ducks have heads! and the best one "How you Doin'!!!!" :) I love that guy!
There is also one another point about FRIENDS which i really like. They all are into professions they actually love. Monica is a chef .. she loves cooking. Rachel loves fashion and Ross adores dinasours. Pheobe and Chandler are also working in places they are good at.
These guys have fun , they love their jobs , love and live their lives with the best of their friends. A life to die for! A fairyland of the real world!

Life is musical!

How many times do you reallllly identify with a song? There can be various reasons. You are in a situation and a song starts playing nearby. You are actually in the situation where in you can associate yourself with the lyrics of the song and situation of the characters. It can be anything at all. Remember the scene in Andaaz apna apna , when Raveena tells Amir that she is not the real heiress of the property? Amir then has to clean all the plates and the song in background in "yeh kya hua ?"
Take a situation. There is this couple. They love each other knowing very well that they do not have a future. The guy has to leave. The girl comes to drop him at the airport. She has never felt more helpless in her life. She is probably seeing him for the last time. When she heads her way back, which is the first song that plays in the cab? Ye dooriyaan! The song becomes "her" song ..
lets take other scenarios .. Rain reminds me of rimjim gire sawan or mostly rim jhim rim jhim from 1942 a love story and a lovely mausam reminds me of ye mausam ka jaddo hai mitwa. Many times when I am upset and there is no one to cheer me up , I sing the song "mujhse naraaz ho to ho jao ...khud se lekin khafa khafa na raho"
Ofcourse! The hyderabad crush ... Mr. Fresh ... Whenever I would see him my brain would start playing the song "jab saamne tum aa jaate ho" and especially the line .. dekh kar tumk yakeen hota hai ...koi itna bhi haseen hota hai :) :)
Newly weds would want to own "dekho maine dekha hai ye ek sapna or may be ye tera ghar ye mera ghar"
Friends have so many songs to identify with .. i'll be there for you ... , i'll be al-right and even the latest jab mila tu! Ofcourse we have a friendship anthem .. Ye dosti hum nahi chhodenge!
eloped couples .. "humne ghar chhoda hai ;)"
I remember when Ritu had left, 2 songs would remind me of her. First was from JJWS ..rooth kar humse kabhi and the second one was from dushman Chitti na koi sandesh. Now I know these were sung for dying or dead siblings (God Forbid!!) but I am way too filmy.
So ... life can be pretty musical. Now only if we could have background music for our every moods :)
and the girl who loves yeh dooriyan may also like the following lines
Ranjish he sahi, dil he dukhane ke liye aa,
aa fir se mujhe chhod ke jaane ke liye aa

The ultimate guide to treat a girl

You know how I keep fantasizing about that one perfect guy? I have not met him as yet and sometimes I give up all the hope of meeting him. But I came across this article I had saved and I thought I will publish it here. Now I know that my blog is not public and actually nobody know about it. But say for some reason, somebody ...some guy stumbles upon this one, he should know this. Now only if I get treated this way aaaallll my life ... I will be the happiest person in the world throughout my life and so will be every girl who is actually treated this way.


•Grab her hand when you walk next to each other (don't make her grab yours). When standing, wrap your arms around her.
Girls have always been these strong beings who can be extremely independent. But sometimes we just get tired of being strong, of fighting and facing the world. When that "special person" holds our hands and wraps that protective arm around us, it feels so comforting and loved.

•Cuddle with her.
Girls love the little intimate things. Unlike guys, we DONOT have sex all the time in our minds. A sweet cuddle is more than amazing to feel good about you and the relationship.

•DON'T FORCE HER TO DO ANYTHING.
No, Never! We may get mad at you and get back at you by doing EXACTLY what you asked
us NOT to do. You know what, we ALWAYS ask you for your opinion when we need it and when we do not, it is not an ego hassle. It is just that we know what we want. We asked for BFs/Husbands and not dictators and tyrants. Also please DONOT expect us to follow you like little puppies when you never bother to ask about our opinions.

•Write little notes.
Writing is much more personal than e-mails. But more than anything else, such little gestures make us fall in love with you over and over again. :)

•Compliment her Honestly.
Yes do that! We love it !!

•When you hug her, hold her in your arms as long as possible.

The feeling of strength, comfort, belonging and love everything keeps running inside our heads when we get those looong hugs

•Be super sweet to her.
Yes! Yes! Be sweet :)

•Call her at night to wish her sweet dreams.
Even if it just a 2 min call, let us know that we are the last thought on your minds before you drift away in sleep.

•Comfort her when she cries.
Very important. Dont walk away when we cry and DONOT scold. That can be done later. Just tell us things which we want to hear.

•Wipe away her tears

•Love her with all your heart.
Boys keep wondering what girls want. But we just want to be loved. We are not some alien creatures you know. We just have a little more vulnerability than you so just love us .... truly ... with all your heart.

•Pick her up and flirt with her (she'll scream and say put me down but really she loves it).
Oh yes! Girls are big nautankis for sure. We may show that we dont like your silly flirting but in the heart of hearts we are smiling our brightest smiles and thanking God for bringing you in our lives.

•Be a gentleman (hold the door for her).
Be gentleman and classy. Girls love classy gentlemen.

•Don't let your friends talk trash about her, it'll get back 2 her!
If you let them do that, you are not protecting her honour and you dont deserve to be with her.

•DONT ever act diff in front of your friends than u r when it’s just u and her!!!!
She may not like the difference and take you as an impostor.

•Take her for a long walk at night!
and talk and make her laugh and be good to her.

•Always bring a blanket where ever you go outside when it’s cold to comfort her and hold her close
She will love it and love you :)

•NEVER LIE TO HER!!!!!! Because then she will think everything you ever said to her was a lie, even "I love you"
Especially never ever cheat on her.She may not leave you even if you lie to her if she loves you a lot. But heart in hearts she will never trust you. She will never believe a word you said even you are being truthful. and the worst part ...?? She will be broken from inside.

Thanks for the memories

I have lately started finding logic in almost everything around me and actually get irritated when I dont find it. Picked this habit from someone else but now it has become a way of my life. That is why , Thanks for the memories, my latest read failed to strike a cord with me. Although my search for logic has not made me a non-believer in fairy tales and with Cecila Ahren, I am prepared for a great treat of fairy tales. But Thanks for the memories tried to mix up science and imagination, which may sound quite cool right now since I am not being specific. But no , it was not. For the record let me mention that this does not mean that I didnot like the book because I always love Cecilia Ahren's sensitive writing. All her previous reads has unexplainable events which were perfectly acceptable to me. Lets start with her first novel P.S I l love you ...nothing really "fairy-tale" about this one actually. A dying husband writes some letters to his wife which are delivered to her one by one after his death hence keeping his memories and in a way,him,alive. It is a story of how the girl survives the death of her husband and tries hard to move on. Romantic, sad, moving and in parts draggy and boring. But, nevertheless, lovely!
The next book I read was "The Gift". Story of an overambitious man who gets some pills which makes it possible for him to be in two places at one time. Now! there is no explanation to it and sincerely it is not possible. But this book is so far my favourite Cecilia Ahren book. It has that fairy tale in the modern world thing to it which I always search for (even in my real life ...especially in my real life) Her sensitive writing again wins hands down.
Next: A place called here. This book is about a place called "Here". Story of a gardai (police officer in Ireland) who is obsessed and troubled by things getting mysteriously misplaced when you actually saw them 5 mins ago. All these things and people especially, who are lost under strange circumstances actually end up in a place called "here" She finds this place when she herself gets lost while jogging. Although quite an intriguing story, I didnot find it very interesting. However again I loved the concept.
Fourth book: If you could see me now. Another of my favourites. Unputdownable book. Children with imaginary friends. These "friends" are actually not imaginary and not even invisible. Its just that grown ups stop believing and hence are not able to see them any more. Cecilia spins a beautiful adult love story in this basically children oriented theme and does so amazingly well. The best part of this book was that the story reveals itself so slowly and smoothly and as a reader I could just go ...."ooohhh!! Its that way!!"
The fifth one was "The book of tomorrow" where the protagonist Tamara finds a diary which tells her the future. Tamara chooses to change and not to change some of it and hence finds out a lot about her life which were previously kept under wraps by her family.
It is said that fairy tales come to those who believe in them. I completely believe in them and give them a relief from my logical explanations. Actually what went wrong with "Thanks for the memories" is this: The explanations for the weird happenings in the story is not enough. I mean just transfusion of blood does not make that connection. Actually, with all the other books the events were totally fairy tale. It was kind of binary. 0 or 1. All or none. But this one took a perfectly normal happening of blood transfusion and converted it into a fairy tale touch story. Little disappointing. But I guess ...the last page ...oh the absolutely romantic last page of the book kind of covered up for the glitches and I closed the book with a smile.

I believe in God but not like everyone ...

While I sit in here surfing the net, my father is in the same room praying, singing bhajans. I some how feel a little guilty because I dont pray "per say" with my hands joined and all that. I dont remember the last time I visited a temple. Very truly speaking I dont get the "peace of mind" which people claim to obtain while they are in a temple. I mean I have visted the Gurudwara quite frequently in NOIDA and althouh it feels good , there is no inner peace kind of thing. I have never spoken this out loud even to myself and my parents also dont know about this. Actually nobody knows this fact about me --- I dont beilive in "Murti Pooja". Infact I figured this about myself some few days ago. Although it feels a little weird to have an altogether different sets of thought than most of the rest of the socity, I am happy that I have cleared this thing about myself to myself. But that really does not mean that I am a non beilever in God. I do very very strongly believe in Him. Its just that I dont think that standing in front of a statue would do me any good. I very firmly believe in Karma. I think that if I help a person and make him happy and change his life in even the most little way, thats my pooja. Thats my way way of bowing my head in front of God and thanking him for every little blessing He has showered on me. When I hurt someone, when somebody is upset because of me, thats when I am also hurting God. I fully realize that.When I have an exam or an interview, do i really need to stop by a temple?? Cant i just ask for God's blessings on the move? They say that God is omnipresent ...right? So that pretty much solves the problem.
I believe in You God and you know that. Only, for me, You are not in those statues or photographs, but you are that voice in my head who scold me everytime I fight with papa and keeps stinging me throughout the day when I use words like fuck!! You are the inspiration within me who tells me to help a needy and open an orphange. I respect life given by Him and thats the reason I dont eat non veg. I mean its not the dharma bhrasht thing or something. Its just that the idea of eating something (or body) after killing it is so repulsive. What about those people who kill animals, savour them and then claim to be devotees??
I have been faced with the jokes of being the most "non brahmin" among all my non brahmin friends. It pinched earlier, when I was not clear with my beliefs and thoughts. But, now .... not any more. Infact, maybe, after putting this in writing , I am making this more clear to myself.
I may not be lighting a diya, and not be knowing about the various tyohars (which according to some of my friends I must ...)but i know that the biggest prayer to God and the biggest way to Thank God is to be a good human being.
Now only if everyone was so intelligent as me ... ;)

I wish you were here ...

Wish you were here,
to share, to care,
to talk, to walk,
to hold my hands forever,
I wish you were here.

I wish you were here,
to fight , to console,
to hug, to hold,
to wipe my tears and stop my fears,
I wish you were here.

I wish you were here,
to stand by my side,
to promises abide,
to live our lives together,
I wish you were here.

I wish you were here,
through thicks and thins,
through losses and wins
through highs and lows
through friends and foes.
to say I love you dear,
I wish ...... you were here.
