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 They are the engineers of the superseded.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.

Eat More.

I found this VERY interesting report. It states that the following foods and situations have no calories at all. So you can consume all of it with a clear conscience. My happiness mounted ten-fold after I read it! Yupieeeeeee!!!!

CALORIES THAT DON'T COUNT

1. FOOD ON FOOT - All food eaten while standing has no calories. Exactly why is not clear, but the current theory relates to gravity. The calories apparently bypass the stomach flowing directly down the legs, and through the soles of the feet into the floor, like electricity. Walking appears to accelerate this process, so that an ice cream bar or hot dog eaten at the state fair actually has calorie deficit.

2. TV FOOD - Anything eaten in front of the TV has no calories. This may have something to do with radiation leakage, which negates the calories in food, plus all recollection of having eaten it!

3. UNEVEN EDGES - Pies and cakes should be cut neatly, in even wedges or slices. If not, the responsibility falls on the person putting them away to "straighten up the edges" by slicing away offending irregularities, which have no calories when eaten.

4. BALANCED FOOD - If you drink a 12 ounce diet soda with a candy bar, they cancel each other out.

5. LEFT-HANDED FOOD - If you have a drink in your right hand, anything eaten with the left hand has no calories. Several principles are at work here. First of all, you're probably standing up at a party (see "Food on Foot", above) Then, there's the electronic field: a wet glass in one hand forms a negative charge to reverse the polarities of the calories attracted to the other hand. It's not quite known how it works, but the reverse is true if you're left-handed.

6. FOOD FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES - Food used for medicinal purposes never counts. For example: Hot chocolate, cheesecake (it’s a mood-enhancer!), apple-pies (remember, an apple a day, keeps the doc away??) et al.

7. WHIPPED CREAM, SOUR CREAM, and BUTTER - These all act as a poultice that actually "draws out" the calories when placed on any food, leaving them calorie free. Afterwards, you can eat the poultice, too, since all the calories have been neutralized by it.

8. CHILDREN'S FOOD - Anything produced, purchased, or intended for minors is calorie free when eaten by adults. This category covers a wide range, beginning with a spoonful of baby food custard, consumed for demonstration purposes, up to Oreo cookies or cake batter or cookie dough.

9. FOOD ON TOOTHPICKS - Sausage, cocktail franks, and crackers are all fattening unless impaled on frilly toothpicks. The insertion of a sharp object allows the calories to leak out at the bottom.

10. CHARITABLE FOODS - Girl Scout cookies, bake sale cakes, ice cream socials and church strawberry festivals all have a religious dispensation from calories.

11. CUSTOM MADE TREATS - Anything somebody makes "just for you" must be eaten, regardless of the calories, because to do otherwise would be uncaring and insensitive. Your kind intentions will not go unrecognized, except by the calories!

So eat MORE! Njoi ;-)

Crazy, am I?

"I keep worrying, fretting all day and night..thinking abt my future, parents, finances, careers, life... etc etc"

"Am I insane"?

"No! You're Human"

Behind every successful person is a man or a woman. A person who is the wind beneath your wings. That one special person who has the capacity to love you unconditionally and beautifully. A person who understands you even when you don't deserve it; someone who can make you smile or laugh even at times when you don't want to; someone who sees your good - shares and understands your dreams and also helps you get there, gives you gyaan on determination and conviction, who inspires you along and rejoices in your triumphs, who is there besides you when everyone else flees, someone who believes in you. Someone who calls even at 3AM and tells you what a retard u've been; who kicks you in the butt when others wudn't dare; forgives all your goof-ups and blunders and would ask you to try again.

Isn't it amazing to have sucha lovely soul in your life? How do these people exist in a world full of jealousies, back stabbing, insults, constant ridicule and snobbery? How is this wonderful person untouched by all of it? Why is he always in content, even when he is sidelined in another person's path to fame and fortune?

Is this person insane? or psyched? No! He is someone with a face. You may find him in your family, friends, spouse or even a stranger - who has touched your life in some way or the other. They have the gift of love. Love is the only thing I know which makes you - unselfish, giving, understanding, gentle, courageous, generous, devoted and loyal. This is the kinda love which moves you to soar beyond your goals. You need nothing else other than this kinda love to make it to anything in this world. If you have found this kinda love in any man or woman - You have found an incomparable TREASURE.

Cherish them!
