what women want

really i think i am the last person to have any insight on this topic...but nevertheless here is my dig at perhaps the most sought after question in human exsistence... i think that all that a woman wants from a man is to be GENEROUS! and when i say generous i mean just to do a little more that is expected out of him as his duty...just a step ahead...a little more than what he is suppose to do... all she wants is him to be generous with his respect...generous with his attention...generous with his gratitude...generous while making love...generous with his love...just generous all aound at whatever he does... perhaps thats all she needs to feel special...his woman...a woman...

self-respect

strip me, yet i am clothed in my self-respect. on losing it is when i become completely naked.

names

yesterday someone shared a very interesting theory about hindus naming their children after GODS.he said that during earlier times people thought that if they would name their children after deitys then when they would be at their death bed,they would be calling for their names...and that would mean that they will be atleast taking the names of the GODS while dying and this will help them to go to "swarga"...paradise...in the company of teh GODS themselves.... what a novel way to earn brownie points just before you are dying...im sure GOD would be flattered and forgive teh heaps of sins committed during the lifetime and allow you to his party in paradise... indians are obsessed with naming their children.and the latest of trends is to name them with a complex sanskrit or hindi word which obviously they havent heard of or known until they read it in the book titled "3000 names for your baby".... but whats striking that you would rarely(read never) find a hindu keepin...

bollywood

first of all...appologies to mr. bachchan...for the title..sir, i am an admirer of yours...howevr i beg to differ with your view...indian movie industry is aptly titles as bollywood..and so is the title of this blog... the other day i saw the year 2007's biggest commercial success...om shanti om...it struck me after watching the movie that these filmmakers make a huge moron out of us...throuout the movie they satired on the indian(south movies included) movie scene...yet the movie was effectively presenting the same garbage stuff...stylishedly garnished...as its core story line... then i realised that these movie makers are nothing but businessman..shrewd ones... as far as my understanding of the term art goes it is something by means of which we bring out our emotions in a creative way.....and based on my perception i ask myself..are the movies made by these people a subject of art?...how are they artists? its so freaking funny that how shamelessly thaey copy movies from the wes...

gratitude

human beiings are obsessed with landmarks...especially with the multiple of 5,10,25....this year i turned 25...as the clock turned 12 announcing the 1st day of august...i was gripped with a sense of terrific overwelhming emotions...and before i could get a grip on myself...my eyes were all welled...till date i dont know what had gotten into me as i was laying on the upper berth of the train...going back home after a near month trip to the u.s.a. ...at that moment my phone also started ringing..with eager friends trying to wish me...infact a friend even asked if i were crying or it was a cold or something...it was kinda obvious... so i have had completed 25 years and had just returned home after a half way trip to the world...and when i sat down for the annual introspection of the passed year as i do on the 1st of august every year(as i write it i feel silly...)i couldnt help but do it for the entire 25 years of my life... i would have to say that so far i have a great time...if i were ...

immortality

recently i went to a seminar on environmental protection and the laws in india to deal with that.it ws a very enlightening discussion and at the end of which i was left with the most basic of question which wasnt answered by anyone to the best of my satisfaction...why do we need to protect the environment so badly?we wont live that long after all to see the doomsday...so why care?....i was left pondering over it.i understand all the jazz about the fact that we have to give our coming generation the perfect place to thrive and all that....but c'mon...we just cant be so freakingselfless...its so not humna...so what is it that makes us so worried?...heres a theory..may be a little far fetched and perhaps too bizzare...but heres a theory by me anyways....when hamlet made the famous "To be or not to be..." monologue he was basically referring to the unknown territory we might have to tread when we die...we have no clue what happens...all the sweet music of the paradise theory ...

smile

recently i had yet yet another tooth problem and had to see the dentist.as i was waiting at the reception i started a chat with the guy who was incharge of attending the waiting patients.now everytime a person buys a new watch or a shoe or any other thing he notices other peoples shoes, watch or whatever.same thing happens with me when i go to the dentist and get yet another cap over my tooth(yes...my dental problems are legendary).i nothiced tht this fellow had a very out of place front tooth.it was almost black...thicker than the rest and just stood out with its ugliness.yes...i understand i dont have a right to comment about other peoples teeth but the point is that it begged to be noticed.while in conversation i said something which triggered a full wide mouthed smile from my friend.seeing him smile like that made me feel instantly warm. i couldnt help but think that a smile has nothing to do with the set of teeth you have.its about that spark in the eye.that genuine tinkle that sh...
