Valentine Magic - Myth or Reality ??!!

Valentine's day has come and gone !! It was just another day

A normal day with only one thing that kept you going on.. Work ...

And one wonders .....

Does it really make any difference to the state of ur heart ? Do people who were 'oh so normal' just the day before suddenly fall in love with each other that day ? Does Valentine Magic really work ?

For the past 24 odd years ( actually the last 6 years - i.e 'Valentine Day' aware years)... I have been waiting for something interesting to happen every Feb 14th... Now do not get me wrong.. I was waiting just for anything interesting to happen .. like some guy proposing to my friend/ getting accepted/ or a girl proposing for a change .. or just any kind of fairy tale to happen just once in life on that day ..U know .. the missing of heartbeats.. the quickening of pulses ... that kind of thing...

I remember the anticipation with which we used to come to college on that day (or was it just from my part...?? I dont know ...!!!)Once the only highlight was a group of guys wearing 'Green' T shirts ... one by one they entered the class just after the bell rang.. (this was to ensure that all girls were inside the class) .... That truely created a stir that time .... and there was this couple who were caught talking with each other (just imagine.. just talking) by our Principal who did a spl rounds on Valentine's day..... Now after coming into a Work environment ..we do not have the benefit of an ongoing class room romance also ..

Hmmm... Love or Romance I feel cannot spring out suddenly from nowhere.. Even before you
declare such things to each other...

It was there hidden somewhere in those

smiles you gave her especially ...

In the brooding thoughts that you had of him...

In the sleepless nights ( people who had been afflicted would vouch for it) you had...

In the tender feelings you had...

In the sudden quickening of pulses when you get a glimpse of him (so many people write about
it .. that I feel it must happen)

In the tears that threaten to spill out without no reason whatsoever...

Those people who are blessed with real love would not wait for a Valentine's day .....

It would not matter if he actually gave you a Rose/Teddy that day..... or if she gave him a razor ridiculously wrapped up in satin & lace ....

People who are in love are capable of creating their own Valentine's Day ... and capable of making their own corner of the world heaven or hell..

And ... if the world wants an extra Magic in the form of Valentine's Day .. who am I to object ??

Call me romantic if you want ... But do write back...

Hey u didnt tell me that u were waiting for something special on that day!! I could have helped u in some way!! ;-)
Waise as far as i m concerned, i just dont give a damn to this day..I mean i dont have any antipathy of sorts with Saint Valentine but i dont find any concrete reason for having a special day to shower your love...
But yes..i loved the way u defined the feeling of love..The excitement is not actually in uttering those three words..But in sleepless nights..in reading the eyes...communicating with eyes when there are 15 guys around u..in tears and in pain..

But still..If this particular day gives somebody time to shower praise..to express love and some memories to cherish then why not!!

To Love , Honor & Cherish !!

I am the kind of person who cannot keep things inside me for long … It is very rare that I keep secrets… and mostly such secrets still remain secrets because of loads of dire threatening & warning … and yeah sometimes caution prevails and I vow myself to never utter a word outside about it … But if something is 'happening' in my own life… then it is sometimes a wonder that I do not climb the nearest mountain & shout it out till either my lungs or my throat give up... There is a sweet turn of events in life … What can I say!! :-) He came, he smiled and he conquered … And one of the most difficult questions in my life was solved owing to a smile… :-) I have always been fascinated by the Christian Sacred vows of Matrimony… How true the words ring out …. I take thee to be my wedded husband/wife . . to have and to hold.. from this day forward . . . for better, for worse . . . for richer, for poorer . . . in sickness and in health . . . 'till death do us part . . . and th...

Rajnikanth - Fish out of water !!

It was the first or rather the 2nd Rajnikanth movie for me to watch in theatre.. I do not know what I had expected to see.. But somehow it beat all the expectations I had .. I like him somehow.... those eyes of his have captured thousands of Tamil people's hearts (yeah.. not an exaggeration) ..and even though am not a fanatic of his movies.. I like him... It is his latest - ' Chandramukhi ' & I had watched it along with some of my friends in Matunga ..It was a different experience seeing a Rajnikanth movie in Mumbai ... But before u read on I just want to write a disclaimer ' The views expressed here are not intended to hurt anybody's taste . It is solely intended as a topic for discussion' .. Thanks.. now read.. Rajini is not that good an actor.. he fails miserably in sentimental scenes... he doesnt know to dance or atleast u can say that his dance is not graceful ... he doesnt pronounce Tamil the way it is supposed to be ...he started out his career as a v...

It is Autumn !!

When I was thinking how to write about the changes that have occurred in my life this time .. it suddenly struck me how apt my blog title "Transition" is .... atleast for now ... There have been so many transitions recently .. some were superficial & some were things that have run deep... like for instance the Farewell of my Bestest friend.. In my earlier post it was to bid 'adieu' to my room mate & close friend of 2 years ... I had gone to her marriage.. felt happy .. felt sad .. then came back to the same grind at office .... This week it was my bestest friend's turn to say bye ... He has been such a solid presence with all the timely advices, the kind words you want to hear , an infinitely big heart and as another friend had described once "a sample of the extinct species of a good man from a different era"... The kind of ideals that he upholds have to be experienced to be believed... And this moocho man will be blushing to his ro...
