Platonic relationships.

For years this matter has left many to ponder and wonder.A relationship between two people of the opposite sex, where emotions are kept under wraps, passions don't rage, like a river bank; both of them, running parallel, going through all the rough and tumble togther, witnessing, suffering and rejoicing all the pain, sorrow and happiness.Do relationships like these really exist? Do they stand the...

Why is it that I end up with weirdoes as friends?F gets up in the morning, hurries through her shower and heads for work. Half way through she realises that she has forgotten to eat her breakfast and has also forgotten to comb her hair. So standing at the door of a Virar local, she requests a girl standing next to her to catch her bag while she combs her hair, only to realize after a few brush strokes...

How does one know when to give up? When is it really OK to say "I cannot go an anymore and I Quit"? Or is it that one should never give up at all?I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday, he gave an 'nth' attempt to clear the last group of his CA exams this year. And with the result day nearing, he was all agitated and baffled. His entire future, which as of now is amorphous and ambiguous, depends...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Merry ChristmasWishing all you lovely people Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year!...

How many times in life have we been in situations where we felt totally out of control because of the result? In situations like these, there are two choices that we have - live with fear or live with faith. Faith, the most poweful thing we are capable of, it is something that cannot be proven. As the old adage goes " What you believe is what you create".It requires a lot of courage to believe in...

Sometimes loss can the best of things that can happen to someone. I have finally decided to move on. The excess baggae of it all had to crash someday..and it did. Picked up all the debris and locked it firmly. I should have done this much earlier, but I was just being headstrong. Though I admit that you are important to me, but i refuse to dilapidate any more of my life. I refuse to be gullible.Me...

Of Coffees and Conversations.

I bumped into a college bumchum on my way to work today and we decided to meet at Barista in the evening. As we sat sipping our steaming coffees, after a few chats of perceptive discussions and objective exchange of thoughts, the conversation automatically turned towards relationships.It felt light speaking to him, about all the years, for the way it had been, for what it couldn't be. Some lessons...

Another wedding.

Another close friend got married some days back. The girl was my office colleague, I never knew the guy, had just heard about him. They are a lovely couple, completely and always in love with each other. His parents were against the marriage but they went ahead anyways.It's so nice to have someone to listen to your dreams, to make you laugh, someone who really cares about you, someone to share your...

Why??

Sometimes it's just so hard to see something that started out with so much promise, wither into nothingness. X had loved Y endlessly and selflessly for 5 years. (I had written about 'X' and 'Y' in my earlier post) But she was not lucky enough to have been loved back in return. The conclusion of their relationship was inevitable from day one. Memories catch her when she least expects them, flipping...
