LOVE: SIGNS AND COUNTER-SIGNS...

Recently I got a forwarded email talking about the 13 signs of falling in love...
So I added few of my comments to it.. and here goes!

***13 signs of falling in love***

13. When your on the phone with them late at night and they hang up...but you miss them already when it was just two minutes ago
> MAYBE COZ U FORGOT TO ASK THEM WHAT YOU WANTED TO ASK!

12. You read their texts over and over again...
> A GOOD WAY TO TEST YOUR EYESIGHT TO FIND OUT IF YOU NEED READING GLASSES.

11. You walk really slow when you're with them...
> COZ YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT THE 500 BUCKS U JUST BLEW ON 'THEM' AND WHAT YOU COULD HAVE DONE WITH IT!

10. You feel shy whenever you're with them...
> COZ U DON'T LIKE TO BE SEEN TALKING WITH THEM IN PUBLIC...

9. When you think about them, your heart beats faster and faster...
> COZ U GET FRUSTRATED THINKING ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TIME AND MONEY YOU HAVE WASTED ON 'THEM' (FOR NOTHING) AND ABOUT HOW YOU NOW DONT HAVE ANY MONEY TO BUY THAT NEW IPOD!

8. You smile when you hear their voice...
> TO HIDE THE FEAR... ;)

7. When you look at them, you can't see the other people around
you... all you see is him/her...
> COZ U GO INTO SHOCK (COZ OF FEAR!) AND UR EYES CANT FOCUS

6. You start listening to slow songs, while thinking of them...
> SO THAT YOU FALL ASLEEP ASAP AND DONT HAVE TO THINK OF THEM!

5. They become ALL you think about...
> WHICH IS A CLASSIC RESPONSE AFTER BEING SUBJECTED TO EXTENDED PERIODS OF TORTURE AND INTIMIDATION!

4. You get high just from their scent...
> YA COZ U DRINK TO FORGET THAT THE 'SCENT' THEY ARE WEARING COST U A SMALL FORTUNE!

3. You realize that you're always smiling to yourself when you think
about them...
> OR U R GOING SENILE AT AN YOUNG AGE ;)

2. You would do anything for them...
> AS LONG AS 'anything' DOESNT INVOLVE GETTING OUT OF BED N GETTING DRESSED OR SPENDING ANY MONEY...

1. While reading this, there was one person on your mind the whole
time.....
> THERE WERE MANY... WHICH SHOWS EITHER THAT I LOVE MORE THAN ONE WOMAN (MAKING ME A PLAYBOY) OR THAT I HAVE AN ATTENTION DISORDER

Now make a wish

> MY WISH: PLEASE STOP SENDING ME SUCH EMAILS!

Independence Day.....

Is it really our Independence Day?
Being thousands of miles away from home the only thing I feel from India is a deep sense of dread and billions of people hiding in their houses fearing to go out on a holiday.
Independence Day when security is most important. So much so that most people prefer to celebrate our 'indepdence' by locking themselves in their houses, protecting themselves against 'terrorist attacks'.

The question I ask on this Independence Day is: why are we Hindus afraid of dying. Our philosophy tells us that we all have to escape from the cycle of birth and death one day. If we are good in a particular lifetime and learn all lessons which we were supposed to, we progess towards release.
So if every birth - death cycle brings us closer to release... why do we run away from death. Are we so afraid that we will not rise towards release because we spent this life stealing from our own people? Are we so afraid of our sins or have we forgotten what it means to be a Hindu (beyond just visiting the temple).

No one should hide in their houses. Go forth and live your life yet do not get attached to it.
Death is sure to come knocking at your door... and when it comes welcome it with a smile... no matter if you are 80 or 20.

Death is but a new beginning... that is what Hinduism teaches us.

Kabhi Alvida Na Kehena (Never Say Goodbye)

After my mind, emotions and spirit had been hammered into blackness by the LATEST KARAN JOHAR masterpiece (A.K.A. 'Kabhi Alvida Na Kehena' or 'Never Say Goodbye') I was just aware of the following three things.
1) Deep and almost primal hatred for almost everything around me.
2) Lust for a sexy girl!
3) A yawning emptiness inside me like emotional blackness or vaccume.

For me watching this movie was like having an overhaul of my brain and emotions. While the overhaul was going on I was just aware of the above three things.
Kind of like when a room full of people goes quite one person at a time. You can slowly start making out what everyone is saying!
The same way this Karan Johar movie made most of my thoughts and emotions shut down (one-by-one). So I became aware of certain things. ;)
They should show this movie before they start to interrogate spies. It will surely break down any mental barriers ;)

The message (it may save your life!) that the movie wants to put out is:
Don't start thinking about how you are going to dump the gum which you are chewing in the middle of the road.... (that is what the main guy was doing when he gets run over by a car!) So make sure you are in a safe place before ruminating on the final destination of you gum.

The background girls (backup dancers/extras/etc.) are AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL in this movie.
I wonder if they picked out professional models / small time actresses or just issued an ad for extras. The girl I like the best is one with Amitabh (LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY!) when Rani thinks that Preity is in the bedroom...

Oh yes and call me insane but I thought the 'bondage mistress' look (leather corset/whip) really suited Rani Mukherjee... something tells me that this is not the first time she has worn such clothes ;)

All in all this movie is a combination of the following five things (in my humble opinion):
1) story line which makes no-sense whatsoever
2) impossible (and strange) characters
3) no connection with 'real life' either for the characters or the story!
4) sexy extras.
5) hollywood style jokes (weird ones at that).
