Quote from Paul Coelho's Eleven Minutes:

Passion makes a person stop eating, sleeping, working, feeling at peace. A lot of people are frightened because, when it appears, it demolishes all the old things in its path.

No one wants their life thrown into chaos. That is why a lot of people keep that threat under control, and are somehow capable of sustaining a house or a structure that is already rotten. They are the engineers of the superseded.

Other people think exactly the opposite: they surrender themselves without a second thought, hoping to find in passion the solutions to all their problems. They make the other person responsible for their happiness and blame them for their possible unhappiness. They are either euphoric because something marvellous has happened or depressed because something unexpected has ruined everything.

Keping passion at bay or surrendering blindly to it - which of these two attitudes is the least destructive?

I don't know.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Wishing all you lovely people a VERY HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!




May this day begin with a gentle ray of hope,
be filled with moments of Love,
and end with a soft note of peace.

And don't wait for tommorrow to say it, say it NOW to your family, friends, relatives or anyone else who matter to you. Tell them NOW that you love them. I am sure they would love to hear it from you ;-).

Go --- They're waiting!

I have sinned....BIG time. Since momma's outta town, I and my sister-in-law (bhabhi) decided to fill our stomachs with junk foood. We gorged ourselves silly and just when we thought our stomachs would burst out, we went a step ahead and feasted on chocolate brownie with "extra" chocolate at Bombay Blues.

Can somebody please get Bombay Blues to shut shop.?

Distance...

If only distance was not sucha bitch one would never feel unloved.

Adrak wali Chai and Vita Marie (calorie-free) biscuits are God's way of saying HE exists.

Was talking to Sheetal day before yesterday and the conversation apart from the general routine of events in our lives, drifted to a man's listening capabilities during a cricket match.

A MAN's listening capabilities while watching a cricket match is directly proportional to the product of "wickets in hand" and "The Current Run Rate". It also means that the Listening Power will detoriate as and when the "wickets in hand" start falling and the "run rate" reduces.

Note: All wimmen, THIS is your perfect chance to make any confessions during this time.

'AJ' says (read as adds on):

Reduction in "wickets in hand" while chasing a score would definetly decrease the listening capability of a man, so any confession you make is at your own risk.

Reduction in "wickets in hand" while putting up a score (with a good total of 300+ against the opposition) would make us feel elated and delighted. Your wish of not cooking dinner and calling from out would JUST be granted. *Conditions Apply*

The same applies to "Current Run Rate".

Since the situations keep fluctuating during a match, the bottom line is that a MAN's listening capability during a match is ZERO.

*Sigh*

Hmmmm.....

Harry:
Would you like to have dinner? Just friends.

Sally:
I thought you didn't believe men and women could be friends.

Harry:
When did I say that?

Sally:
On the ride to New York.

Harry:
No, no, no, I never said that. Yes, that's right, they can't be friends. Unless both of them are involved with other people, then they can. This is an amendment to the earlier rule. If the two people are in relationships, the pressure of possible involvement is lifted. That doesn't work either, because what happens then is, the person you're involved with can't understand why you need to be friends with the person you're just friends with. Like it means something is missing from the relationship and why do you have to go outside to get it. And when you say "No, no, no it's not true, nothing is missing from the relationship," the person you're involved with then accuses you of being secretly attracted to the person you're just friends with, which you probably are. I mean, come on, who the hell are we kidding, let's face it. Which brings us back to the earlier rule before the amendment, which is men and women can't be friends.

Hmmm...

I agree. Men and Women CAN be friends.

Love this movie. Love the dialogues.
