Changes: Wanting to be married

Categorized Under: Changes, Love, Marriage, Relationship one Commented

I have forever detested the concept of marriage. I never understood why people needed to be married. My parents haven’t done anything to enhance my opinion on marriage either.

Love in India: Salim-Anarkali

This is part II of the series I had begun with Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal. Another beautiful love story. I confess I havent seen the movie, Mughal-e-Azam. I don’t quite know what the story of that movie is either, but what I do remember is that famous song, ‘Pyar kiya to darna kya?’ (that [...]

Changes: Learning Patience..

Categorized Under: Changes, Love, Other, Relationship No Commented

Not everyone is perfect. We all have our imperfections and there are things about us that we can’t help but loathe. I’m not talking about narcissists but for an average human being, we see more faults in ourselves than others do. Sometimes we even go to the extent of hating ourselves because of these imperfections. [...]

My very own Rhett Butler

Jagadish has long insisted I read ‘Gone with the Wind’. It was also made into an Academy-Award winning movie whose re release poster you see above. It’s a book he absolutely adores, and I never had any real interest in the so-called classics. I love mystery, thrillers, and some comic relief. Yet, he persuaded me [...]

Love in India: Shah Jahan & Mumtaz Mahal

Categorized Under: India, Love, Other, Personal one Commented

Who was it that once said, “All the world loves a lover”? Well, whoever it was, he/she must certainly not have come from where I do. The part of the world where I come from hardly loves a lover. It is, I think, a little strange that falling in love and wanting to marry someone [...]

Love is..???

Do you know what that is? I didnt either until I saw it recently, but that, I believe, is the Chinese word for love. Every language has a word for love. Amor, pyar, ishq, prema and so on.. and yet so few people embrace it. What, indeed, is wrong about falling in love? If only [...]

One..two..three..four!

As Jagadish mentioned, this is the fourth time we are celebrating this wonderful day together. I can scarcely believe that we have been together that long. Four years is indeed a long time, and even longer considering all the distance we have to transcend. I don’t honestly know though if Valentine’s is as special as [...]

Alright, Im back to blogging after a teeny break. With classes and lab (and Jagadish), I have found little time to spare. It should be a habit though, should it not? And so one of my New Year’s resolution is to go back to being a regular blogger. There’s always stuff to share! So let [...]

I just had to post this one up. It’s so cute

Of similarities and differences

Jagadish has mentioned how several odd coincidences brought us together initially. As we discovered each other, we also found several things that we thought about very differently from each other.One of the really cool things about Jagadish is his vivid, unbound imagination. He can come up with absolutely creative ideas (of which you saw an [...]
