Friendship rooted in love

-
The best relationships--the ones that last-- are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship.

 Not very long ago I had written about my friend who recently broke -up with her boy friend...  Realizing it's time to move on. 

 Just the other day, I was talking to her and as expected, she was feeling very down. It so happens that she was missing her college buddy. The story goes that they were together in college, totally inseparable. The guy finally proposed her during their farewell, which she refused. The reason she gave me was, he didn't fit the image of a boy friend. 

 The inquisitive me asked her, How exactly a boy friend should look like? She gave me a complete description of a mills and boon hero, Tall, fair and handsome. The guy was not very tall or fair and not very handsome either. Now she feels he would have made a more loyal boy friend than her ex. 

 Most of the times we are so busy running after our make believe superman that we often forget to look behind and see who is running after us. Any relationship that is based on looks can never last very long, because looks are not forever and neither is this attraction, because the man or the woman in question will very soon find someone better looking or better versed than you.

 She, then, said a very heart breaking thing to me. She said that the saddest thing about the entire situation was she now realized how much she wants him ,she needs him... her friend who USED to love her.

 So the million dollar question is...who would you go for the person who loves you or the person who u love????

    It is always better to goo for someone who loves us the way we are and not the one who we love..That's what I believe..

    as much as we all love the person who'd love us. we always forget that we should also be equally willing and loving cause otherwise its almost like living a lie.

    Renu,

    I always admire you for coming up with such blog posts. Even offline and online, I constantly remind you that you are a good writer and look you see that on your writings. You convey a strong message in this post and of course relationships based on looks do not last long. The attraction won't last long cz no one is going to stay young forever. Human heart develops feelings for people and poor has to suffer when it fails. Ahh! As per your story, one should go for person who loves you cz that person knows your worth and will keep you like their prized possession. Kudos to my favourite blogger Renu Sethi for writing this! :) ;)

    ~ God Bless!

Everyday when I look into your eyes I always feel I can't love you more Every morning when I feel your warm hug I know you are the man I would die for And when my skin burns with your touch I realize its your soft touch that allures Every kiss of yours is a promise Words that come out of your mouth are hard to ignore Every single minute without you is torture remember "you'll be always around" you swore Would give anything to be in your arms Would present you with all the kisses I have in store.

My Platinum Day of Love

Aren't arranged marriages just beautiful? Your parents happily propose a boy on your behalf and all you have to do is to look pretty and pretend that all that is laid on the table was made by you. Vikas and I had an arranged marriage. The first month of our marriage was all about holiday (I hate the word honeymoon) awkward moments, talking softly and putting our best foot forward. Soon after the holidays we shifted in our new house. My life seemed to have started fresh altogether. Not only marriage and my husband were new to me but also the city and its people (I am from Kolkata and Vikas worked in Mumbai). People in Mumbai are very detached; most of them had no idea about the residents of their building. Kolkata was very different, we even knew our neighbors' relatives. Mumbai was fast Kolkata's slow pace had its own charm. I really missed being in Kolkata especially road side food ghugni & puchke (Gol Gappe). Vikas would always take me to those fine dining r...

Who needs prince charming??? ;)

Every girl wants a Prince Charming.... but at times I wonder......Will a Prince Charming go out in the rain with me, with no umbrella??? Will he wake up in the morning with tussled hair...disheveled look and still look extremely sexy and huggable?? Will he go out and buy vegetables and even bargain?? I guess not. When I imagine a Prince Charming, he’s a guy who would prefer broccoli and salads over paratha or pizza, who's impeccably dressed almost 24*7...properly combed and not a single hair out of place, even when he's about to hit the bed ..Starched white button-down shirt...shoes shining that could even bring mirrors to shame... something on d lines of Ken...our very own Barbie's boyfriend. When I meet such people all I want is to mess up their hair a little..force them into having french fries or burger make them look and feel a little more human. I read it somewhere a house should be clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be comfortable. I thin...
