font-family: arial, sans-serif; text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"&gt;This is something we should all read at least once a week!!!!! Make sure you read to the end!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Written by Regina Brett, 90 years old, of the Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most requested column I've ever written.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;5. Pay off your credit cards every month.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;24. The most important sex organ is the brain.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;27. Always choose life.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;28. Forgive everyone everything.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;29. What other people think of you is none of your business.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;33. Believe in miracles.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;37. Your children get only one childhood.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;42. The best is yet to come...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"&gt;43.

One day, he found out that his neighbor had the particular horse breed he needed. So, he constantly bothered his neighbor&lt;br /&gt;until he sold it to him. A month later, the horse became ill and he called the veterinarian, who said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Well, your horse has a virus. He must take this medicine for three days. I'll come back on the 3rd day and if he's not better, we're going to have to put him down.&lt;br /&gt;Nearby, the chicken listened closely to their conversation.&lt;br /&gt;The next day, they gave him the medicine and left. The chicken approached the horse and said:&lt;br /&gt;- Be strong, my friend. Get up or else they're *going* to put you to sleep!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the second day, they gave him the medicine and left. The chicken came back and said:&lt;br /&gt;- Come on buddy, get up or else you're going to die! Come on, I'll help you get up. Let's go! One, two, three...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the third day, they came to give him the medicine and the vet said:&lt;br /&gt;- Unfortunately, we're going to have to put him down tomorrow. Otherwise, the virus might spread and infect the other horses. After they left, the chicken approached the horse and said:&lt;br /&gt;- Listen pal, it's now or never! Get up, come on! Have courage! Come on! Get up! Get up! That's it, slowly! Great! Come on, one, two, three... Good, good. Now faster, come on.... Fantastic! Run, run more! Yes! Yay! Yes! You&lt;br /&gt;did it, you're a champion!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of a sudden, the owner came back, saw the horse running in the field and began shouting:&lt;br /&gt;- It's a miracle! My horse is cured. This deserves a party. Let's kill the chicken!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Points for reflection:&lt;/strong&gt; this often happens in the workplace. Nobody truly knows which employee actually deserves the merit of success, or who's actually contributing the necessary support to make things happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LEARNING TO LIVE WITHOUT RECOGNITION IS A SKILL! If anyone ever tells you that your work is unprofessional, remember: amateurs built the Ark and professionals built the Titanic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DON'T LOOK TO BECOME A PERSON OF SUCCESS, LOOK INSTEAD TO BECOME A PERSON OF VALUE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ENJOY LIFE NOW - IT HAS AN EXPIRATION DATE&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PS:- Special Thanks to Manoj Kesharwani for sharing the story.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8625344015014814058-5036375804359111275?l=arcpankaj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://arcpankaj.blogspot.com/feeds/5036375804359111275/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://arcpankaj.blogspot.com/2011/08/chicken-and-horse.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8625344015014814058/posts/default/5036375804359111275'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8625344015014814058/posts/default/5036375804359111275'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://arcpankaj.blogspot.com/2011/08/chicken-and-horse.html' title='The Chicken and The Horse'/><author><name>Trust Me (TM)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14382959730935654743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__-y6JAuPxdE/Sw9yXoVW44I/AAAAAAAAAQA/Qc29wSmBll8/S220/Pankaj_UP.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625344015014814058.post-2198082009028165290</id><published>2011-08-13T16:30:00.002+05:30</published><updated>2011-08-13T16:34:06.399+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Career Path Finder.....

 &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   &gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   &gt;The story of Krishna can be divided into two parts: the Bhagavata part and the Mahabharata part. The first part is where he is in Madhuvan, playing the flute, drawing the milkmaids to dance with him outside the village, at night, in the forest. It is a place that is not governed by fear, or rules, or obligation, yet everything is synchronized to form a perfect circle. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   &gt;The second part is where he is in Kurukshetra, riding a chariot, leading warriors to a bloodbath. It is a place of fear and rules and obligations and vendetta, where all rules of decency collapse. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   &gt;Every employee who joins an organisation, hopes it to be Madhuvan: a place of joy and hope and growth and teamwork. Every employee who is leaving an organization describes the situation as Kurukshetra: a place of struggle and politics and insensitivity. We want our worlds to be governed by the principles of Bhagavata, but we are often faced with the terrible ways of the Mahabharata. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   &gt;In a large company of seventy thousand people, Milind found his team of seven people always groaning and complaining and being nasty about everyone and everything from the management to the customer. As a young team leader, he felt he was in the heat of a Kurukshetra battle every day. He realized that every organization had the same grouses with the management, with the admin, with the customer, with teammates. This is how most organizations were, even those who claimed very publicly to be employee-friendly. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   &gt;Maybe, he realised, this is how every employee sees an organization and everyone expects the world around him to transform. Who established Madhuvan and Kurukshetra? Does Krishna create these spaces or these spaces create Krishna? Are we fountainheads of circumstances or victims of circumstances? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   &gt;Milind decided he had enough of the ‘issues’. Every day he would focus on what was positive in both professional and personal life. No negative conversations allowed, except on Tuesdays – which he called ‘vent-day’. Every day Milind would only discuss positive things. When there was a problem, the focus was on solutions. When there was a complaint, the focus was on resolution. He encouraged his team to do the same. They agreed reluctantly. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   &gt;On Tuesday, Milind wore a black shirt and the day was spent only complaining and whining and in bouts of intense irritation. It took getting used to but in a few weeks, Milind’s team was a happier team, all organizations issues notwithstanding. Milind took a stand: he would transform his little world into Madhuvan. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   &gt;He realized the importance of the chariot festival of Jaggannath Puri where devotees pull the giant chariots hoping to bring Krishna back from Kurukshetra to Madhuvan. The point is to discover that only we, on our own, can close the Mahabharata chapter in our life and open the pages of the Bhagavata. If we wait for management to do it, we may be waiting for a long, very long, time. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   &gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Special thanks to Sandeep Kumar for sharing the article..&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8625344015014814058-6972038980154365199?l=arcpankaj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://arcpankaj.blogspot.com/feeds/6972038980154365199/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://arcpankaj.blogspot.com/2011/07/workplaces-can-be-like-madhuvan-but.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8625344015014814058/posts/default/6972038980154365199'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8625344015014814058/posts/default/6972038980154365199'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://arcpankaj.blogspot.com/2011/07/workplaces-can-be-like-madhuvan-but.html' title='Workplaces can be like Madhuvan, but they are more often Kurukshetras'/><author><name>Trust Me (TM)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14382959730935654743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__-y6JAuPxdE/Sw9yXoVW44I/AAAAAAAAAQA/Qc29wSmBll8/S220/Pankaj_UP.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625344015014814058.post-5826533953781576882</id><published>2011-06-25T13:13:00.002+05:30</published><updated>2011-06-25T13:16:53.239+05:30</updated><title type='text'>DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w6dtmNPOeM0/TgWSFNSOsKI/AAAAAAAAARU/WkZqfgUDAOg/s1600/24158710.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 310px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w6dtmNPOeM0/TgWSFNSOsKI/AAAAAAAAARU/WkZqfgUDAOg/s320/24158710.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622060328005054626" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;METHOD OF TREATMENT&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;               &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                &lt;/span&gt;1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minute&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;3.. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/reduce main diseases:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;1. High Blood Pressure (30 days)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                         &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;      &lt;/span&gt;2. Gastric (10 days)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;3.

Cancer (180 days)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;6. TB (90 days)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;           &lt;/span&gt;7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards – daily..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life. Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ..not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;A serious note about heart attacks:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;· Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;· Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;· You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;· Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                         &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;      &lt;/span&gt;· 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoPlainText"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;                               &lt;/span&gt;· Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep.

The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, “I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.” After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks,…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Who was that?” “It was Bob the next door neighbor,” she replies. “Great!” the husband says, “Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;Moral of the story:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;Lesson 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, “I’ll give each of you just one wish” “Me first! Me first!” says the administration clerk. “I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.” Poof! She’s gone. “Me next! Me next!” says the sales rep. “I want to be in Hawaii,relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.” Poof! He’s gone. “OK, you’re up,” the Genie says to the manager.

She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said,”Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest removed his hand. But,changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest apologized “Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.” Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;Moral of the story:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;Lesson 4&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A rabbit asked him,”Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?” The crow answered: “Sure, why not.” So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#003300;"&gt;Moral of the story&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;Lesson 5: Power of Charisma&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A turkey was chatting with a bull “I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, but I haven’t got the energy.” “Well, why don’t you nibble on my droppings?” replied the bull. “They’re packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;Moral of the story:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Bullshit might get you to the top, but it wont keep you there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;Lesson 6&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;Moral of the story:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.

So, it’s important for women to be emotionally prepared for one-night stands and/or casual sex, as well as its aftermath.&lt;br /&gt;In an effort to help women get over jerks who like to “hit it and quit it,” I devised a few simple rules that may possibly make heartbreak a thing of the past. I’ve been heartbreak free for over a year now, thanks to these personal rules, which are more like guidelines in the tossed-up game of love (or lust).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rule #1:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Never give your heart away&lt;/strong&gt;. If you don’t want to experience heartbreak, then don’t fall in love. It’s as simple as that. You’ll be thankful you saved yourself the unnecessary drama the next time your coupled friends are fighting. But hey, some chicks dig drama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rule #2:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Crushes are absolutely not allowed&lt;/strong&gt;. They only end up in disappointment. Besides, give yourself the liberty to see what else is out there. We’re still young and we’re still figuring out what we want. Why deal with heartbreak in the meanwhile? Crushes can end up restricting you anyways, especially if you’re crushing hard. So stop blowing him up with dozens of missed calls and take a hint already.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rule #3: Limit your sexual encounters&lt;/strong&gt;. Though I totally think its possible for a woman to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://asurrenderedheart.blogspot.com/2008/11/what-lips-my-lips-have-kissed.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;detach emotions from sex&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt; the way men do, it’s still not a good idea, especially if you’ve broken the second rule already. As for men, well, they are just pros at being emotionally detached. If you're a nympho with a real itch to get it on, just make sure you tear a page from their book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rule #4: Keep your distance.&lt;/strong&gt; Men do this ALL the time. If you end up actually falling for someone, whatever you do, don’t fall too hard. If you’re going to fall, at least make sure the landing is soft by maximizing your emotional distance. The more "involved" you are, the more hurt you get. Likewise, the less involved you are, the less hurt you get. Make sense?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rule #5: Find something wrong with him and focus on it.&lt;/strong&gt; I know that it seems a bit shallow, but it works. If you’re a sucker for smiles, crooked teeth could be a deal breaker. If you like the idea of a man who can protect you, then those tiny arms and chicken legs aren’t going to cut it.&lt;br /&gt;Still feeling too superficial? Maybe he has way too many girl “friends” than you’d like him to have. Or maybe he’s too big of a party animal. Or maybe he still lives at home in his parents' garage. In either case, don’t be so quick to trust. He could be playing you for all you know. But if you’re playing some silly little game too, well, that’s all on you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rule #6: If you’re starting to get jealous&lt;/strong&gt; then you definitely need to make like &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://media.www.digmagonline.com/media/storage/paper1159/news/2008/04/07/Opinion/Mariah.Careys.Change.Is.Not.Out.Of.Character-3310657.shtml" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Mariah&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt; and “Shake it off.” Look up the lyrics to the chorus if you really need elaboration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rule #7: Lucky No. 7. Take a time out for yourself.&lt;/strong&gt; Forget boys. Forget dating. Forget love and romance. It’s all about YOU. Take time for yourself and focus on you. It’s okay to be selfish, especially if it means avoiding potential heartbreak.&lt;br /&gt;Besides, there’s nothing sexier than a confident, independent woman who knows what she wants and what she doesn’t want. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-2344-LA-Singles-Examiner~y2009m1d8-Dance-to-your-own-rhythm" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Just do your thing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;, while he does his. He'll come around when he realizes what he's missing out on, I promise. If he doesn't, then he was never worth your time in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, if a guy genuinely likes you, he’ll come around more often.

The Train- Puri Express (2338) was late by 1 hrs(actual arrival time was 9:45 PM). I have noticed two prominent people who were talking about some moral responsibility &amp;amp; general duty of citizen at plateform. At that time, I had ignored those small conversations. The moment, train came and I had boarded the on S10 (my seat no was 30-SU). Suddenly I noticed that the platform wala two people also boarded on same coach and also within the same compartment with seat number of 25 &amp;amp; 26. The TT came after almost 10 min around 10 mins later of departure. They have enquired to the TT about do some thing to fill the supply of water in the toilet (as there was no water supply in the toilet as usual at Indian Railways). TT said that he could not able to do any thing for that and blamed it on staff of Puri Station. They said politely to the TT “you are only person who is representing the railways in the running train”. He said if you would give written complain, then he might passed it to station master only. The answer was not satisfactory to those people. The main person (His name was Pankaj??- we both have same first name) who seemed to be ask his other companion to give the mobile. He called to any number (Later it was came to know that it was railway complain number- 1800112511) and told to him about situation. The person from other side have given the Howarh Number (033-26381743) and asked him to speak to that number. The Railway person also spoke to the TT. The TT assured him that at Cuttack, water would be filled. Then Pankaj (not me) called on Howarh Number and complain about the situation, the person from Howrah was not at all cooperative and also said to his colleague “Sala, ek adami bar bar apne mobilese call kar pani ke liye parshan kar raha hai--????JOd” He has used sala so much time and to avoid the situation, he had given some wrong number of Bhubaneswar and ask him to called at that number. Pankaj asked him politely “ I am calling you first time and also you are using such slang language for me and this is not right way to talk to any one” He started making excuses then. Pankaj also told him that Now honorable minister was also from kolkata, so what type message should go to public. The railway person dropped the call. Again Pankaj had called to railway complain number and that person to register the complain for Kolkata railway staff. He explained the entire scenario to him. The Complain cell person asked few detail like PNR, Train Number, Seat No, Name, Address, Mobile Number. The he had given the complain number (First time-I came to know such thing can be happened) along with at what time it registered. Then he said to all near by Passenger that their intention was to aware the Right to information to all not to make a issue, They were from one of the NGO of Delhi and they were going to Patna from Bhubaneswar. They had already registered twice before for other issue and they got immediate results. They also said “ yaha par har koi so raha hai”. Finally I calculated that he had wasted more than 80 RS. on roaming and also he was not need to use the toilet. That was something which touches to most of passenger.&lt;br /&gt;But the story does not end here. Once the cuttack cross, the TT said to him the there was no staff at station to fill the water at bathroom. Pankaj asked him that you need to sign the application or written document for this. He wrote a letter cum complain in English about the entire situation and asked the TT to sign. At starting he was annoying to sign on that paper. But he made him to Sign. Then he said to all that he would file a PLI in the court for this. Then we all went to sleep.

The moment, you go away from a person, your relation starts also getting away as time pass. But there are some cases or some people where we have seen that it flourishes the relation. Once you apart from some one, you start thinking the important of that relationship. Your attachment gets closer to that person. Of course we do miss someone or something, bur that is different. There are basically &lt;strong&gt;four&lt;/strong&gt; times when I am away from my family, native place, friend ie Kolkata.&lt;br /&gt;• First, when I was at Allahabad for almost for one year for the PMT coaching.&lt;br /&gt;• Second, when I was at Bangalore around four month for study (Bio Technology).&lt;br /&gt;• Actually third &amp;amp; fourth time are at same place that is at Bhubaneswar- once for NAC BPO project for almost one &amp;amp; half month &amp;amp; next for OeSl project for more than six month ( I am still here!!!!Hopefully will be back after October)&lt;br /&gt;Let me share my experience of both conditions:-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1st Condition &lt;/strong&gt;(&lt;strong&gt;when it flourishes- lets talk about positive part first)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Case 1:- More closely to my Family&lt;/strong&gt;- I was never so much close to family, it was just like formal acceptance at 10+2. First time, I realised the importance of my family- Specially My Brother. I become closer to both my brother. But when I left home for Bangalore,that was time when there was lot of challenges which I had faced. My mother becomes one of most darling person of my life. There was lot of reason- don’t talk about that. Now, they are most integral part of my any decision which affects me. Trust Me (TM)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Case 2:- Become like True Lover (Bit Filmiiiii)- &lt;/strong&gt;from very starting days of my teen age, I was most talkative person on Love Tropic. Any where in friend, College, Tuition, relatives or at work- Love was at my every line.Teasing friend, helping in love was my right to express everywhere. There was no such seriousness about the sensitivity, reality of Love. But when I was away from everyone and also my love (Who is there at my every beat, breath- as I assume) at Orissa. I came to know essence of Love. How importance she is in my life? Now I love my love more even at most. Trust Me(TM)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Case 3:- Close to my childhood friend &amp;amp; college friend (It may be situational influence)&lt;/strong&gt;-Just because of away from Kolkata, there was a thinking that I would be loose my my friend, But I don’t how we become more closer with Childhood friend &amp;amp; College Friend. Now we are at different level of Friendship hood. Trust Me (TM)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Case 4:- Strong bond with my MT Colleague&lt;/strong&gt;- As two times I was away from my Office because my work. I thought that my colleague would forget me. But frankly we more connected now &amp;amp; team spirit has been reached to another level or next level. Trust Me (TM)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2nd Condition (when it kills- Common thinking)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Case 1:- Lost a very crucial person (Don’t worry it is not my Love)- &lt;/strong&gt;No more explanation as it is bit difficult to put every things into words. But I lost one important relationship. Trust Me(TM)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Case 2: &lt;/strong&gt;My boding with my dearest sister get weakens (She was most loving person of my life when I was at Kolkata) – as I have move to other place, our communication become less &amp;amp; less. For every happiness, she was first person. She is still one of my loving person not as it was most loving person. Trust Me(TM)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Case 3:-Few friend have been not in touch now(It is also my fault more)- &lt;/strong&gt;Just because of lack of time, communication gap, of course I am also not in touch with few friend(Name can’t be disclosed). It is most of my fault, as I was in touch with them. Then how can you expect from other one? But they are still my friend. Once I’ll back- we will rock.Trust Me(TM)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8625344015014814058-7921113728296304705?l=arcpankaj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://arcpankaj.blogspot.com/feeds/7921113728296304705/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://arcpankaj.blogspot.com/2009/09/distance-it-kills-or-it-flourishes.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8625344015014814058/posts/default/7921113728296304705'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8625344015014814058/posts/default/7921113728296304705'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://arcpankaj.blogspot.com/2009/09/distance-it-kills-or-it-flourishes.html' title='Distance- it kills or it flourishes the relationship!!'/><author><name>Trust Me (TM)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14382959730935654743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__-y6JAuPxdE/Sw9yXoVW44I/AAAAAAAAAQA/Qc29wSmBll8/S220/Pankaj_UP.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625344015014814058.post-6259236881178396347</id><published>2009-08-16T11:12:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2009-08-16T11:16:40.357+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Love to Sex / Sex to Love</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Love &amp;amp; sex are like addiction, once start then it is difficult to stop it.&lt;br /&gt;If your love is your life, it does not mean that yours life is only for her.&lt;br /&gt;Love always comes at least twice at everyone but it can be with same personv&lt;br /&gt;Love is dependent of Sex; But Sex is independent of Love.&lt;br /&gt;It is not my fault if I love u, but it is yours.&lt;br /&gt;Sex starts from sensations and ends at Orgasm.&lt;br /&gt;Love start from attraction and ends at Sex.&lt;br /&gt;If loved one is not with you.

Marriage is one of them. Believe me, the decision on whom to marry is the most important decision a person will make in his life. After marriage, your wife is the most important person in your life. She can make or break your life. The mere thought of this is very frightening.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Some of the questions that crop up are –&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Symbol; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;·&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman'; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;What sort of a girl do I marry?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Symbol; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;·&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman'; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Will she adjust in my family?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Symbol; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;·&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman'; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;How can I decide on a girl by just meeting her for a few times?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Symbol; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;·&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman'; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;When should I get married?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Symbol; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;·&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman'; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;This is my life.

By the time she graduates, goes for her post graduation and/ or works for 1-2 years, she will be about 23- 24. This means that she has spent about 5 years away from her home. In the 5 years period, she would meet many smart guys at college or during her first few years on job. So, in all probability it would be difficult to find a good girl older than 24 yrs. Secondly, in Indian families there is lot of pressure on the girl's to get married by the time they become 24-25.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Statistics says that there is a generation gap after every 5 years. So, in such scenario, one would prefer to marry a girl who is about 3-4 years younger to you. Thus, working backwards, an ideal age for a guy to get married is by 28. Earlier the marriage, the better it is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Well, as we all know, in the current market scenario, there will never be stability in our career. So, I believe there is no such thing as, "I will marry when I settle down".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Symbol; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;·&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman'; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Rule 2 -- Subset of marriage-able girls&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;At times you hear statements like, "I am not getting the right match, I will look after 3 months, I will find a better match then". Well the truth is otherwise. The subset of unmarried girl looking for a match is fixed. From this subset, there would be girls who would get married &amp;amp; there would be new girls added who would be looking for a match. The net result is that at any given time, the variety &amp;amp; number of marriage-able girls are fixed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Symbol; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;·&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman'; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Rule 3 – Competition for girls&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Like all other facets of life, there is lot of competition for good girls. In my own case, I was&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;rejected by girls. So, if you are looking for a girl who is post graduate, done her Engg, is working, very beautiful, smart, from a good family etc. etc, just think again. There are other guys who are also looking for similar girls &amp;amp; probably they are better off than you in terms of career, looks personality etc. Given a choice every guy would like to marry Aishwarya Rai, but then for all Ashs in the world, there are many Salman Khans who also want to marry them. So, set your expectations accordingly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Symbol; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;·&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman'; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Rule 4 -- Understanding girls&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;You would have met a lot of people during your life. As we all know, its difficult to judge a person based on a few meetings. I am sure you would agree with me that in case of girls it is even more difficult to understand them in a few meetings. I am still trying to understand my wife… ;-)..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Understanding your spouse is a life long assignment. So, then how do you select a girl based on a few meeting? This is where you need to take the help of your parents/ friends &amp;amp; latest technologies like email/ chat to choose your girl.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Symbol; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;·&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman'; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Rule 5 – Society expectation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;The selection process is tough on every one who is involved in the process. In arranged marriage, involvement of family &amp;amp; society is pretty high. You can't meet a girl 3-4 times &amp;amp; then say no to her. It is bad for her future. So, you should have a good short-listing criterion. Meet only a few girls &amp;amp; be sure what you are looking for. It is for the benefit of everyone involved.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Symbol; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;·&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman'; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Rule 6 -- Marriage between equals&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Unlike love marriage, in arranged marriage you also marry into the girl's family. In arranged marriages, family support plays a major role in ensuring a successful marriage. This is where the compatibility of social status, family values &amp;amp; caste/ religion plays a major role. Its important to note that in case there is a perfect match between the two families, the marriage is destined to succeed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Symbol; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;·&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman'; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Rule 6 – Know yourself&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Unlike love marriage, in arranged marriage you first marry a person &amp;amp; then fall in love. So, it's very important that you do a self-assessment on the kind of person you would love. They say, "Opposite attract", while they also say, "Bird of same feather flock together". So, you take a call on what sort of person you like. Take a pen &amp;amp; paper; write down the kind of attributes you are looking for in a girl. Say, she should ideally have the looks of Sonia, the style of Monica, the voice of Sheena, the patience of Rashmi. You will certainly not find the perfect girl, but then you would have a good idea of what you are looking for.. The secret here is to set some minimum criteria for selection. Don't forget rule no.3 here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Symbol; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;·&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman'; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Rule 7 -- Girl's Beauty&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;A girl's looks attract, but then no one wants to end up marrying a dumb blonde. It is like buying your bike. When you initially buy it, you are crazy about the looks, but later on you love it for its reliability, fuel economy &amp;amp; comfort level. Similarly, a girl's looks are important, but then it should not be the most important criteria. Later on it life, you will get bored of her looks. It is then that her personality &amp;amp; behavior will make all the difference to your marriage. I am sure your parents will be able to advice you a lot better on this topic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Symbol; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;·&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman'; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Rule 8 -- Taking advice&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;As I have mentioned in the next rule, it's very important that the final decision on whom to marry must necessarily be yours. However, don't do the mistake of isolating yourself from the world while planning your marriage. Discuss with your parents &amp;amp; very close friends on this issue. They are your well wishers. Secondly, in such important matters its necessary that you analyze all possibilities. Remember, I am not suggesting that you follow others' advice, but don't forget to take their advice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Symbol; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;·&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman'; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Rule 9 -- Own decision&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;All said &amp;amp; done, it's your marriage &amp;amp; your life that is at stake. Once you are married, you &amp;amp; your wife are the only persons who will be facing the music. Don't marry a girl just because your parents or friends asked you to do so. After marriage, if things don't work out &amp;amp; you end up saying, "It's because of my friends or my parents that I married you", then your marriage is destined for disaster. If the girl is of your choice, it is you who will be responsible for whatever happens. That's when the marriage works out perfectly. So, ensure that you marriage the girl of your choice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;How to approach the selection process?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;From the day, a person decides to get married; the selection process takes a minimum of 3 months.

to prevent pregnancy and transmission of &lt;a class="mw-redirect" title="Sexually transmitted infections" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexually_transmitted_infections"&gt;sexually transmitted infections&lt;/a&gt; (STIs—such as gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV). Invented by &lt;a title="Denmark" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark"&gt;Danish&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="mw-redirect" title="Medical Doctor" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_Doctor"&gt;MD&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a title="Lasse Hessel" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lasse_Hessel"&gt;Lasse Hessel&lt;/a&gt;, it is worn internally by the receptive partner and physically blocks ejaculated semen from entering that person's body. Female condoms have been available now for over 15 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;Versions and materials&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Female Condom was first made from &lt;a title="Polyurethane" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyurethane"&gt;polyurethane&lt;/a&gt;. This version is officially called the "FC Female Condom". Newer iterations are made of &lt;a title="Nitrile" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrile"&gt;nitrile&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a title="Polymer" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer"&gt;polymer&lt;/a&gt; and called "FC2"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_condom#cite_note-0"&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt; (this material change was announced in September 2005).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_condom#cite_note-FHC_press-1"&gt;[2]&lt;/a&gt; The newer nitrile condoms are less likely to make potentially distracting crinkling noises. It is hoped the nitrile condoms will also allow for significant reductions in female condom pricing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_condom#cite_note-FHC_press-1"&gt;[2]&lt;/a&gt; This line of condoms is manufactured by the The Female Health Company, USA. FC1 and FC2 are the only female condoms approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) for purchase by UN agencies. They are sold under many brand names, including Reality, Femidom, Dominique, Femy, Myfemy, Protectiv and Care.&lt;br /&gt;The most recent version of the female condom is made from natural latex, the same material used in male condoms. This condom does not make the noises some experience with plastic condoms. This type of female condom is manufactured by Medtech Products Ltd, India. It is sold under many brand names, including Reddy, V Amour, L'amour, VA WOW Feminine condom, and Sutra. One more clinical trial is required before it can be considered for FDA approval in the United States.&lt;a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_condom#cite_note-2"&gt;[3]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a id="Effectiveness" name="Effectiveness"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;Effectiveness&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Some early tests suggested the Female Condom offered better protection than male condoms, but real-world tests found the original FC to be less effective than male &lt;a title="Condom" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condom"&gt;condoms&lt;/a&gt; at preventing pregnancy for most people:&lt;br /&gt;Early tests:&lt;br /&gt;A presentation at the 1990 International AIDS conference concluded, "exposure to semen was significantly less (p = .001 and p = .03) when WPC-333 was used than when the male condom was used."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_condom#cite_note-3"&gt;[4]&lt;/a&gt; A presentation at the 1989 International AIDS conference concluded that "WPC-333 had significantly fewer water leaks than the male condom at a p-value of .001. The combined probability of risks of leaks, tears and spillage inside the vagina using WPC-333 was 3.3%; the combined probability of risks using the male condom was 11.5%."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_condom#cite_note-4"&gt;[5]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Real-world experiments:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The 1992 U.S. FDA approval of the Reality female condom required the label to compare the pregnancy rate for the female condom at 26% per year to a 15% annual rate for the male latex condom. This was based on a U.S. study of 200 women who used the device for six months. In the study, the six-month pregnancy rate was approximately 12.5 percent, or an estimated 26 percent per year. (This includes incorrect and inconsistent use of the condom.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_condom#cite_note-5"&gt;[6]&lt;/a&gt; According to Contraceptive Technology: Eighteenth Revised Edition, the typical use failure rate for the first-generation female condoms lies at 21%. This means that of the women who used female condoms as their only form of birth control, 21 out of 100 became pregnant within one year. Of the women who used the female condom correctly, and used one at every act of intercourse, 5% became pregnant after one year. In comparison, the typical use failure rate for male condoms was 15%, while the perfect use failure rate was 2%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_condom#cite_note-6"&gt;[7]&lt;/a&gt; The effectiveness of the female condom at preventing STDs has not been studied to the same extent as male condoms, however it has been put forth that it should have similar effectiveness to preventing pregnancy. Female condoms are better at preventing some STIs than the traditional condom, this is because they cover more skin, which is the main way skin-to-skin viruses are contracted, such as herpes. They are also dangerous for those who have polyurethane allergies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_condom#cite_note-7"&gt;[8]&lt;/a&gt; Sensitivities to silicone or polyurethane may also be a problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a id="Costs_and_reuse_of_the_.28polyurethane.29_original_FC" name="Costs_and_reuse_of_the_.28polyurethane.29_original_FC"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"&gt;Costs and reuse of the (polyurethane) original FC&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The per unit price of female condoms is higher than male condoms but there is some evidence to suggest that polyurethane female condoms can be washed, disinfected, and reused.&lt;br /&gt;Re-using the polyurethane Female Condom is not considered as safe as using a new one, however the W.H.O. says, "Batches of new, unused female condoms were subjected to seven cycles of disinfection, washing, drying and re-lubrication, reflecting the steps and procedures in the draft protocol, but at considerably higher concentrations of bleach and for longer durations. All female condom batches met the manufacturing quality assessment specifications for structural integrity after the test cycles. ... Disinfection, washing, drying, re-lubrication and reuse of the device were not associated with penile discharge, symptomatic vaginal irritation or adverse colposcopic findings in study volunteers."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_condom#cite_note-8"&gt;[9]&lt;/a&gt; A presentation at the 1998 International AIDS conference concluded that "washing, drying and re-lubricating the female condom up to ten time does not significantly alter the structural integrity of the device. Further microbiological and virological tests are required before re-use of the female condom can be recommended."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_condom#cite_note-9"&gt;[10]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a id="Lubrication" name="Lubrication"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Lubrication&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;As with all barrier contraceptives, water- and silicone-based lubricants are safe to use with a female condom. Oil damages latex and should not be used with a female condom made of &lt;a title="Latex" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latex"&gt;latex&lt;/a&gt;. Oils should not directly harm a polyurethane (or nitrile) female condom but may cause other health problems (which could weaken defenses against more serious &lt;a title="STD" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STD"&gt;STDs&lt;/a&gt;), or make it more difficult to clean and disinfect (without further weakening it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Advantages&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The plastic Female condoms have the advantage of being compatible with oil-based lubricants as they are not made of latex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_condom#cite_note-10"&gt;[11]&lt;/a&gt; The external genitals of the wearer and the base of the penis of the inserting partner may be more protected than when the male condom is used, however see studies below. Inserting a female condom does not require male erection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_condom#cite_note-obos-11"&gt;[12]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Worldwide use&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sales of female condoms have been disappointing in developed countries, though developing countries are increasingly using them to complement already existing family planning and HIV/AIDS programming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_condom#cite_note-12"&gt;[13]&lt;/a&gt; Probable causes for poor sales are that inserting the female condom is a skill that has to be learned and that female condoms can be significantly more exp&lt;br /&gt;.ensive than male condoms (upwards of 2 or 3 times the cost). Also, reported "rustling" sounds during intercourse turn off some potential users, as does the visibility of the outer ring which remains outside the vagina.&lt;br /&gt;In November 2005, the World &lt;a class="mw-redirect" title="YWCA" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YWCA"&gt;YWCA&lt;/a&gt; called on national health ministries and international donors to commit to purchasing 180 million female condoms for global distribution in 2006. Their statement stated that "Female condoms remain the only tool for HIV prevention that women can initiate and control", but that they remain virtually inaccessible to women in the developing world due to their high cost of 72¢ per piece. If 180 million female condoms were ordered, the price of the female condom was projected to decline to 22¢ per female condom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_condom#cite_note-YWCA-13"&gt;[14]&lt;/a&gt;In 2005, 12 million female condoms were distributed to women in the developing world. By comparison, between 6 and 9 billion male condoms were distributed that year.&lt;a title="" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_condom#cite_note-YWCA-13"&gt;[15]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a id="Similar_prophylactics_that_may_not_be_available" name="Similar_prophylactics_that_may_not_be_available"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Similar prophylactics that may not be available&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The Barrier&lt;br /&gt;Coverage / How it is held in place: It fits over the vulva and perineum and is held in place with thick elastic straps that encircle the women's upper legs. The tube-shaped pouch is about 1 1/2 times larger and 2 times thicker than a male condom. The penis never directly touches the woman's outer or inner genitalia .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Material: latex&lt;br /&gt;The Bikini Condom&lt;br /&gt;Coverage / How it is held in place: "looks like a G-string panty"&lt;br /&gt;Effectiveness: thicker and less slippage than male condoms, a breakage rate of 0.5%, compared to 1-2% for male condoms&lt;br /&gt;Advantages: condom pouch can be automatically introduced into the vagina with coitus, reported heightened sensation for women&lt;br /&gt;Cost-- reuse: "can be used 5-10 times"&lt;br /&gt;Women's Choice Female Condom&lt;br /&gt;Coverage / How it is held in place: Has a 2-inch diameter flexible ring that covers the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a title="Introitus" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introitus"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;introitus&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;, and a thickened dome of latex resembling a diaphragm at the deep end&lt;br /&gt;Pre-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a title="Personal lubricant" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_lubricant"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;lubrication&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt; / &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a title="Spermicide" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spermicide"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Spermicide&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;: silicone lubrication&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a id="External_links" name="External_links"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;External links&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a class="external text" title="http://www.femalehealth.com/" href="http://www.femalehealth.com/" rel="nofollow"&gt;The Female Health Company&lt;/a&gt; Developer &amp;amp; Manufacturer of FC &amp;amp; FC2 Female Condom&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="external text" title="http://www.hindlatex.com/adminright.aspx?id=" href="http://www.hindlatex.com/adminright.aspx?id=396" rel="nofollow"&gt;Hindustan Latex&lt;/a&gt; Female Condom providers in India&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="external text" title="http://www.preventionnow.net" href="http://www.preventionnow.net/" rel="nofollow"&gt;Prevention Now!

So profound was their love for each other, they needed no words to express it. And so they sat in silence, on a park bench, with their bodies touching, holding hands in the moonlight.&lt;br /&gt;Finally she spoke. "Do you love me, John?" she asked. "You know I love you, darling," he replied. "I love you more than tongue can tell. You are the light of my life, my sun, moon and stars. You are my everything. Without you I have no reason for being."&lt;br /&gt;Again there was silence as the two lovers sat on a park bench, their bodies touching, holding hands in the moonlight. Once more she spoke. "How much do you love me, John?" she asked. He answered: "How much do I love you? Count the stars in the sky. Measure the waters of the oceans with a teaspoon. Number the grains of sand on the sea shore."&lt;br /&gt;"Impossible, you say? Yes, and it is just as impossible for me to say how much I love you. My love for you is higher than the heavens, deeper than Hades, and broader than the earth. It has no limits, no bounds. Everything must have an ending except my love for you."&lt;br /&gt;There was more of silence as the two lovers sat on a park bench with their bodies touching, holding hands in the moonlight.&lt;br /&gt;Once more her voice was heard. "Kiss me, John," she implored. And leaning over, he pressed his lips warmly to hers in fervent osculation. -- Samuel M.

Hazy memory: eros is physical attraction; philia is friendship; storge is affection; agape is what St Paul was writing about in 1 Corinthians 13 (see above). (See also: The Four Loves, by &lt;a href="http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?CsLewis"&gt;CsLewis&lt;/a&gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;The fact that we can gloss the four Greek words goes to show that English has several different words for love as well. It might be more accurate to say that Bible translators have used the same English words for these four Greek words. Though this was not always the case (cf faith hope and charity becoming faith hope and love in the newer translations.)&lt;br /&gt;Note that that does not mean that the words "love" and "charity" are synonyms in the English language. I would also challenge that they are even near-synonyms in general in Christianity, even if they might be due to context in that part of the bible. (This comment arises due to a now-deleted page that was apparently a take-off on the above translation paragraph.)&lt;br /&gt;Storge was rarely used, but it could refer to familial affection or (less frequently) sexual love. It appears in the Bible (actually the NT) only in the compound word filostorgos in Romans 12:10. Eros we could gloss as "desire" (or any of its English synonyms). It does not appear in the NT. Scholars currently think that agape and filia mean the same thing when they refer to love. This conclusion is based on diachronic studies performed by Robert Joly in 1968. In the Hellenistic period, the verb kunein ("to kiss") was falling out of use because it sounded like kuein ("to impregnate"), especially in the aorist where the forms are exactly alike. This no doubt resulted in various unsavory puns. So people started to use the word filein ("to love") to refer to kissing. Then the word agapan ("to be content with") they began to use to refer to love. In the koine of the NT, both agapan and filein were in common use as words for love.&lt;br /&gt;Love is a stranger in an open car to tempt you in and drive you far away...

Commander Crane is far too intellectually advanced to submit to a mere short-term hormonal imbalance.&lt;br /&gt;Red Dwarf Season 5, Episode 1, 'Holoship'.&lt;br /&gt;"Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love 'never' fails 1 Cor. 13:4-8&lt;br /&gt;Love bears the pain of the world, believes lies, hopes despite sense and reason, endures torture. Good advice by a wife beater to his victim. Quite revealing that the passage never gives a happy side to love, only counsels to endure and keep enduring an infinite sea of pain. (The passages above are all useless, this one is misogynistic.)&lt;br /&gt;Love spreads her arms,&lt;br /&gt;Waits there for the nails&lt;br /&gt;I forgive you boy&lt;br /&gt;I will prevail -- StoneRoses&lt;a href="http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?edit=StoneRoses"&gt;?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Out of the mouths of babes: &lt;a href="http://www.rinkworks.com/said/kidlove.shtml"&gt;http://www.rinkworks.com/said/kidlove.shtml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- &lt;a href="http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?AndrewKoenig"&gt;AndrewKoenig&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;True love isn't about passion or lust or attraction or common interests and personalities. It's something altogether different. It's about learning to complement each other, learning to grow with each other. It's about doing love-things, even when you don't feel like it, even when life drives you to insanity, even if you think you've lost love. It's about commitment and perseverance and thinking and feeling and happiness. --&lt;a href="http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?TimKing"&gt;TimKing&lt;/a&gt; (from "Love Through the Eyes of an Idiot")&lt;br /&gt;Every type of love must fulfill this test:&lt;br /&gt;Person A and Person B have a relationship described by some form of the word "love" if both have declared that they will not betray the other in a &lt;a href="http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?PrisonersDilemma"&gt;PrisonersDilemma&lt;/a&gt; - type situation, and fully intend to follow up on tha promise. (Of course, they won't have explicitly said that in those terms. But they will have communicated it somehow)&lt;br /&gt;There are many different meanings we attach to the word love, but the most important aspect of all of them, and probably the only one that applies across all meanings, is the promise not to betray.&lt;br /&gt;(Note that this does not work in reverse - not every strategy to escape the prisoners dilemma would be considered love)&lt;br /&gt;This is hysterical. In fact, many relationships described by "love" (especially infatuation) involve betrayal. What you've defined is no more than "trust" and trust is not very useful for defining love.&lt;br /&gt;I would argue that infatuation is not the same as love. If you're using the word love differently from how I, and I believe most people, do, I apologize for confusing you, but it might be better if you were to use words in the same sense that other people do or there may be further confusion.&lt;br /&gt;My above definition, furthermore, does not describe trust - trust is the belief that someone else won't betray you, as opposed to love, the commitment not to betray someone else. Love would spur a person to choose to co-operate even if they weren't certain (on purely rational grounds) that the other party would do likewise.&lt;br /&gt;So let me refine my definition: love is the tendency not to betray, without necessarily having any particular reason to do this. This, of course, has an upside and a downside - it leaves one open to betrayal, but it tends towards a forgive-and-forget strategy which ensures that one can escape the continuous loop of betrayals that a &lt;a href="http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?TitForTat"&gt;TitForTat&lt;/a&gt; strategy might bring.&lt;br /&gt;I should "use words in the same sense that other people do"? That's hysterical. Other people use the word "love" for a very much larger range of emotions, sensations, and mental conditions than I do.&lt;br /&gt;The word is often misused to refer to infatuation, ecstatic union, submission and domination in addition to the modern romantic love ("in love"), devotion (parental or filial) and affection. The meaning of "love" as expressed by parents in antiquity was denuded of affection or any warm feelings, and is best translated as domination. Meanwhile, the "love" automatically granted to feudal masters is best translated as submission. You would be wrong to dismiss this as ancient barbarism since to this day there exist people in supposedly advanced nations that can't distinguish submission from love. (&lt;a href="http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?IainBanks"&gt;IainBanks&lt;/a&gt;' Inversions, the narrator's description of his feelings for the king.)&lt;br /&gt;Your description of trust is wrong-headed. What you describe as love is the essence of trust. Trust is not a belief, it is a self-fulfilling predisposition towards others. Trust is that general mental condition which allows a person to believe that others won't betray them. This condition is not and can never be anything as intellectual or sterile as reason or rationality.&lt;br /&gt;The term 'love', even in its restricted sense of a general mental condition which inspires the specific emotion of affection, is not captured by your description of non-betrayal. No form, concept, combination or abstraction of love is captured by your definition of it. Your definition is simply wrong. Fortuitously, it can easily be recycled as a definition of trust.&lt;br /&gt;Why self-fulfilling? In certain circumstances (relating to reason), trust may be explicitly based on reason.&lt;br /&gt;Let's look at distrust to clarify some matters. What causes distrust? Paranoia, anxiety and fear. These emotions are seldom rational, and very rarely useful. The rush of adrenaline caused by fear is not merely no longer relevant in today's modern world, it is actively dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;Even in such supposedly intellectual cases where a person is a religious fanatic or right-winger, it takes very little digging to get at the fact that the anxiety and fear is fundamental, and the belief is a rationalization. (There's a June issue of New Scientist about trust which mentions the fact that trust and religiosity are negatively correlated.)&lt;br /&gt;Even in that supposedly intellectual enterprise of foreign policy, the whole dynamic is driven by base emotion. When a population feels intense anxiety, they will invent enemies, provoke them into action, and attack based on arguments so thin you couldn't wipe yourself with them. When such people can't find or invent any enemies, they will progressively feel themselves going insane. And when, eventually, stuff happens and a dispute occurs with someone, they will be happy that an enemy has finally been identified and "it's not all in their head", which only proves that it is. These lunatics then happily proceed to murder the first person to look at them cross-eyed. The origins of war are explained this way.&lt;br /&gt;So taking the converse of distrust, it follows that trust is almost always rational but that this is never the determinant factor in whether or not an individual or society is trusting. The lack of emotional handicaps preventing people from basing their actions on reason is a wonderful development of the modern age. Reason alone explains precisely nothing of human behaviour.&lt;br /&gt;Why is trust self-fulfilling? First, because of selection bias. If you trust in people, you will find plenty of reason to vindicate your beliefs. If you don't, ditto. Second, because other people automatically react to your attitude. If you place trust in people, they will live up to your expectations, leading to a virtuous cycle. If you do not, they will live down to your expectations, leading to a vicious cycle. Third, because your actions will subconsciously create the situation you believe in. If you don't trust someone, you will automatically antagonize them because you "know" they're untrustworthy.&lt;br /&gt;Love is illusion ...but it controls the world.........samarthan bidari&lt;br /&gt;Love is when you need someone to be a part of your life, even when they are boring and dumb and rude, because you know they will again have one of those moments where they shine and that light is what you need to survive.&lt;br /&gt;Love is the only power greater than truth&lt;br /&gt;Is that really true? Or do you just love the sound of it? :-)&lt;br /&gt;It's true. There comes a point in life where one realizes the limits of logic. It is then that one must loosen the grip on logic to see even greater truths. Besides, it's not a matter of "love conquers all" - it's that humans will do almost anything in the name of love - but far less in the name of truth.&lt;br /&gt;People will usually do more for money than truth, and sometimes than love as well. But I hesitate to consider money the greatest power in the world. And aren't greater truths still truths?&lt;br /&gt;Good points. Maybe we could rescue his aphorism by saying "positive power"?&lt;br /&gt;I don't know. When love and justice come into conflict, how positive is each? How do lust and friendship stack up on these scales? What would be the outcome if beauty and truth went head to head in a battle royale? I'm afraid I don't consider these considerations especially meaningful. The "empirical evidence" quoted below seems to be talking about manipulative powers, though, which are rarely if ever positive.&lt;br /&gt;Oh, well, that's ok. Aphorisms don't really encode absolute truths anyway (no irony intended despite the particular aphorism at hand). They're mnemonic reminders of common sense. "Don't get so hung up on truth that you forget about love", perhaps, is the encoded reminder.&lt;br /&gt;The empirical evidence on wielding love versus wielding truth in an argument with your significant other is very clear on this. . .&lt;br /&gt;Quite. On the other hand, if you try to live your life wielding only love, with no truth, you will soon find the limits of that as well. But I guess the aphorism implies truth is number two on the list.&lt;br /&gt;Really more QuotesAboutLove&lt;a href="http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?edit=QuotesAboutLove"&gt;?&lt;/a&gt;. And some aren't even that.&lt;br /&gt;As far as I understand this there's only two people writing, right? It's a bit confusing. I agree to the most part with the guy, I also think that love is a fictional thing, however, is there something like essential love? I'm thinking about the feral children here, didn't they develop some kind of love for the wolves (or other animals they were brought up by?). Also I know that children (infants that is) who receive no love and and are not spoken to will die. Also you talked about trust vs. mistrust, wasn't it Erikson who came up with development stages in children, where trust or mistrust is determined? And should you put yourself in the first rank? The reason why I think people would do (almost) anything for money, is because money serves themselves only. We are egoists by nature, the only real instinct that is inherent to us is that of survival, we want to survive, how we do it, is another issue. -- [frakd]&lt;br /&gt;There is no such thing as love.&lt;br /&gt;When two people are truly in love its not a question of what anyone else thinks. It is how they complete the other. How they fill all voids in the other's life. It is not about material goods or how compatible you are with someone. Being in love with someone is being happy going to bed with the other. The love's object is the last thought on your mind and the first thought when you wake up. Love does exist. When you find it, you know. You wonder how you ever did without it. It is finding that person that embodies all the things that you could ever want in a person. It is finding the exact match to the infinite number of personalities that are possible. It is finding that person that was molded for you. It is the person that has all of these different things in one entity. A Rainbow TMR&lt;br /&gt;Love has much to do with hope and being willing to forsake some of yourself to be their sole partner. TMR correctly envisions our ideal person. We may look for someone who is a perfect match but one hopes to remember that we should seek for and BE some such perfect puzzle piece yet stay pliabe enough to be selfless in our actions. Love is a form of worship is it not?&lt;br /&gt;Love seeks to be selfless.&lt;br /&gt;PIP&lt;br /&gt;TMR, the way you make it sound there should be only one perfect match (as a matter of fact the word perfect would imply this) for every person. Then how would you explain that people can fall in love many times. I think the core of a relationship is memory. I believe memory is in essence what makes us differ from other animals, and memory it is that makes love possible. It is things you share, things that nobody else knows about you, things that make you and the person different from everybody else. It is hard going out with a couple, because always they will have things that only they understand, and you feel like you're just not part of that conversation. And you're not.. My last post here was quite a while ago, and as I think it is quite common at my age, I've changed my mind about many things. And I've changed my mind about love. I think it is feeling, there's really not much more to it, people try to make such a big deal out of it, but really...it is just a feeling. - [frakd]&lt;br /&gt;love is when the one person in the world that shouldnt make you cry just happens to be the one person in the world that makes you cry the most- malinda&lt;br /&gt;Love is giving someone the ability to destroy you but *trusting* them not to do it&lt;br /&gt;love is beeing able to look into her eyes and smileing [JON]&lt;br /&gt;Love is sold annually on February 14th.. &lt;a href="http://www.valentineresistance.com/"&gt;http://www.valentineresistance.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love is a verb - dc talk&lt;br /&gt;Love doesn't really exist. But then, most of the other things people believe in don't exist, either, but that doesn't stop them from being important. Could it be that they're important because they don't exist? - &lt;a href="http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?JayOsako"&gt;JayOsako&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah - but love is a greater power than truth.

Suddenly it flips over, trapping you underneath. At night the ice weasels come.&lt;br /&gt;Love is the opposite of fear. -- &lt;a href="http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?TimJarman"&gt;TimJarman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been struggling of late with my intense loneliness, and also my believe in God.As i was ready to sleep, i begin to wonder what i've understood so far of my aloneless, and was reminded of what i've read online , that lack of love is the root of all psychotic disturbances.Leaving the truth of this matter to the benefit of the doubt, however, i can fully agree with the fact that it is almost impossible for human to live a fulfilled/meaningful life without love. Even though it is often the opposite sex love that is often discussed, i was reminded of my younger days when the love of my fellow prefect mates in secondary school during a camp made me feel deeply fulfilled as a teenager, intensely enough to stay in my memory even after almost 10years now.And also an image of myself hugging my own child gave me the euphoric very much equivalent to my teenage experience. And i was reminded of the core of christianity, the very message that constantly emerge from its teaching, is love.And how Jesus, when asked of the greatest of all commandment, said, is to love god wit all your heart and soul, and the next is to love your neighbour.And how God IS love.&lt;br /&gt;And i begin to wonder how can man be evolved , out of all its chemical proportions and reactions, into a being that has a gap in the deepest of his self, which can only be filled by LOVE and LOVE alone?The first spark of doubt immediately emerged from within myself as i thought deeper, and a very "Darwinian" voice came from within- that the crave for love is after all for the survival of species.But as if unsatisfied with that voice, i question, what about the brotherhood love, or the fatherly love which i vividly had the images in my head?&lt;br /&gt;And the way i see it is that love is so profound, that the crave for it in my heart is so close to the crave for God himself.And i wonder, is this the ultimate message from God, that love is a brilliant display of his existence?&lt;br /&gt;I ditto what was written earlier :&lt;br /&gt;It's true. There comes a point in life where one realizes the limits of logic. It is then that one must loosen the grip on logic to see even greater truths. Besides, it's not a matter of "love conquers all" - it's that humans will do almost anything in the name of love - but far less in the name of truth. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;Dictionaries have different meanings for this word. But when I think about this word, my mind conjures up images of all kinds of beautiful things that I have always associated with this word. Flowers, chocolates, candle light dinners, hearts, soft toys, clothes and perfumes, (I hope I haven’t left anything out!) these are the words that have become synonymous with love…but, what about the feelings and emotions associated with this word! I remember growing up with stars in my eyes and love songs ringing through my ears. Slowly my dreams grew bigger and I started waiting for my Prince Charming to come along and take me with him to a beautiful land where we would be surrounded by servants, good clothes, flowers and jewelry. One day I realized the truth about love...that it was much more than material comforts and gains. Love is Sharing Believe me when I say that this is one of the most important ingredients of love. It is important to open ones heart and share – pain, joy, success and failure, it really does not matter, as long as the heart is clear. Love is being honest and knowing that the other person feels the same way too, it is sharing and losing ones inhibitions and knowing that the person on the other side will never be judgmental. Love is Talking Yes, love is talking. It is about speaking, telling and sharing. After some time people restrict their conversations to discussing bills, children and pets. This is a sure indicator of things going down hill. Bring the spark back by starting a conversation. Love is Spending Time Together A few minutes spent together everyday keeps the boredom away. I just made this up right now, but it is because I feel there is nothing like time invested in a relationship…believe me, it pays! Heavy work schedules take up much time and effort, so it is important to get things into perspective. Love is Faithfulness To love means to be true, to love unconditionally means to give with all your heart to one, and only one. Love is when you realize that he/she is the best thing that has happened to you and you want to cherish that person and the moments spent with him/her till death do you part. Love is Being Friends Love is being friends with each other. Enjoying simple pleasures in life like shopping, catching a movie or watching television at home, apart from a host of other things that "Friends" normally do! Love is Looking Together in the Same Direction This may sound clichéd, but it is true…love is having the same goals and taking steps in that direction to make them come true. I would like to end with one of my favorite quotations… "Love is the flower of life, and blossoms unexpectedly and without law, and must be plucked where it is found, and enjoyed for the brief hour of its duration." - Pankaj Kr Kesharwani&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8625344015014814058-6120256602279031144?l=arcpankaj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://arcpankaj.blogspot.com/feeds/6120256602279031144/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://arcpankaj.blogspot.com/2008/07/defination-of-love.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8625344015014814058/posts/default/6120256602279031144'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8625344015014814058/posts/default/6120256602279031144'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://arcpankaj.blogspot.com/2008/07/defination-of-love.html' title='Defination of Love'/><author><name>Trust Me (TM)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14382959730935654743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__-y6JAuPxdE/Sw9yXoVW44I/AAAAAAAAAQA/Qc29wSmBll8/S220/Pankaj_UP.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625344015014814058.post-1420525923697315642</id><published>2008-06-10T19:51:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2008-06-10T19:53:09.841+05:30</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                   &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Chanakya's Quotes - Worth reading a million&lt;/span&gt; times…  ***************************************************   "A person should not be too honest.

He&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   says that, it is&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   surround himself with intelligent people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Bush asks how he knows if they're intelligent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  "I do so by asking them the right questions," says the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Kalam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   "Allow me to demonstrate."&lt;br /&gt;    Bush watches as Kalam phones Manmohan Singh and says,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   "Mr. Prime&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Minister, please answer this question: your mother has&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   a child, and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   your&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   father has a child, and this child is not your brother&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   or sister. Who&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   is&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   it?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Manmohan immediately responds, "It's me, Sir !"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   "Co! rrect. Thank you and good-bye, sir," says Kalam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   He hangs up and says, "Did you get that, Mr. Bush?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Bush nods: "Yes Mr.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   President. Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   that!" Bush, upon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   returning to&lt;br /&gt;Washington ,decides he'd better put the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Condoleeza Rice to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   the test.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Bush summons her to the White House and says,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   "Condoleeza, I wonder if&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   you can answer a question for me."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   "Why, of course, sir. What's on your mind?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Bush poses the question: "Uhh, your mother has a&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   child, and your father&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   has a child, and this child is not your brother or&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   your sister. Who is&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   it?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Rice was puzzled and finally asks, "Can I think about&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   it and get back&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   you?" Bush agrees, and Rice leaves. Rice immediately&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   calls a meeting of&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   senior senators, and they puzzle o ver the question&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   for several&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   hours,bu! t nobody can come up with an answer. Finally,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   in desperation,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Rice calls Colin Powell and explains the problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   "Mr. Powell, your mother has a child, and your father&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   has a child, and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   it?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Powell answers immediately, "It's me, of course."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Much relieved, Rice rushes back to the White House,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   finds George Bush,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   and exclaims, "I know the answer, sir! I know who it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   is! It's our Colin&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Powell!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   And Bush replies in disgust, "Wrong, its Manmohan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Singh!".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8625344015014814058-7246190755848005079?l=arcpankaj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://arcpankaj.blogspot.com/feeds/7246190755848005079/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://arcpankaj.blogspot.com/2008/06/kalam-bush-rice-joke-while-visiting.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8625344015014814058/posts/default/7246190755848005079'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8625344015014814058/posts/default/7246190755848005079'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://arcpankaj.blogspot.com/2008/06/kalam-bush-rice-joke-while-visiting.html' title=''/><author><name>Trust Me (TM)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14382959730935654743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__-y6JAuPxdE/Sw9yXoVW44I/AAAAAAAAAQA/Qc29wSmBll8/S220/Pankaj_UP.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625344015014814058.post-7343979846574593711</id><published>2008-06-10T17:24:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2008-06-10T17:28:35.590+05:30</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:180%;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Marketing Concepts&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#009900;"&gt;A Professor at one of the IIM's ( INDIA ) was explaining marketing concepts to the Students:-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: "I am very rich. Marry me!" - &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;That's Direct Marketing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl.  One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says:  "He's very rich. Marry him." -&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; That's Advertising&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day, you call and say:&lt;br /&gt;"Hi, I'm very rich. Marry me." -&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; That's Telemarketing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4 You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a drink, you open the door (of the car) for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her ride and then say:  “By the way, I'm rich. Will you marry me?" - &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;That's Public Relations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and says: “You are very rich! Can you marry me?" -&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt; That's Brand Recognition&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6 You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: “I am very rich. Marry me!" She gives you a nice hard slap on your face.  - &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;That's Customer Feedback&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7 You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: "I am very rich. Marry me!" And she introduces you to her husband.  -&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt; That's demand and supply gap&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8 You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say anything, another person come and tell her: "I'm rich. Will you marry me?" and she goes with him - &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;That's competition eating into your market share&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9 You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say: "I'm rich, Marry me!" your wife arrives. - &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;That's restriction for entering new markets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;That’s it folks.

It is something everyone knows and at the same time it is something which only few understand. Though many people fail to understand what Love is, it still remains the crux of everyone's life. What about me? Am I in the group of people who know what Love is but did not understand it or am I in the group of a lucky few who are lucky enough to understand it, feel it and appreciate it? I don't know. I am still searching for the answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;February 27th, 2004&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The stadium is roaring with the name 'Aaryan'. The Indian flag was flying high all over the place. Its 2007 world cup and India is facing Australia in the finals. India is only inches away from the victory. It needs four runs in last over. If it scores four runs in the last over India will win the world cup after 24 years. It's definitely a long long wait. In the last world cup in 2003, India lost the finals against Australia. After four years the same teams meet again in the finals and this time the story is different. India is winning and the credit goes to one and only one 'Aaryan'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I looked around me. We need four runs in the last over to win the match. It's my turn and I am standing at the crease facing Brett Lee. I can feel the expectations of millions of people on me. The first ball is a bouncer. I tried to hit it and could not make a contact with the ball. Now we need four runs in five balls. The pressure is taking toll upon me. I need two runs to score 150 and four runs to win the match. I don't want it to take till the end. I closed my eyes and prayed to god.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The stadium is completely silent. Tension is mounting. Brett Lee is running towards me with the ball in his hand. I prepared myself to strike back. Suddenly he stopped. He came walking towards me. He came closer to me, took the bat from me and started hitting me on my head with the bat. I did not understand what's happening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I heard some familiar voice shouting at me from somewhere inside my head.&lt;br /&gt;"Get up... Get up. You sleepy head" I woke up with Priya hitting me on my head and shouting at me.&lt;br /&gt;"Stop it" I said opening my eyes. "It hurts. Why do you always hit me like that?" I asked rubbing my shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;"To keep you awake" she said laughing.&lt;br /&gt;I looked out of the window. Its dark outside and the bus is moving at a rapid pace on the express highway.&lt;br /&gt;"Where are we right now?" I asked her.&lt;br /&gt;"Just passed Lonavala" she said.&lt;br /&gt;"The bus is still in Lonavala!!! And you woke me from a good sleep. You know what a great dream I just had. Just a few more balls and I would have won India the world cup. You spoiled all the fun."&lt;br /&gt;"Don't start all over again. You and your stupid dreams." she said hitting me again. "By the way what are the plans for the weekend?"&lt;br /&gt;                                                                                    &lt;br /&gt;"Nothing as such" I said looking out of the window. The weather is chilling outside. The bus has just passed Lonavala. Lonavala is a well known picnic place for its scenic beauty and innumerable trekking spots. It's located between Mumbai and Pune.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, I am Aaryan working in Infosys Technologies Ltd, Pune. My parents live in Mumbai and I go to Mumbai every weekend. I am now traveling to Mumbai on a typical Friday evening. The distance between Pune and Mumbai is close to 150 Kms. Thanks to Neeta Volvo and Express highway; it takes just an hour and half to reach Mumbai. But unfortunately it takes more than two hours to reach my house in Andheri from the outskirts of Mumbai due to heavy traffic. As we have just passed Lonavala, it's another three and a half hour journey to my home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that I have given my introduction and told you something about me, let me take you through some beautiful days of my life. This is my love story. This is the story of me, myself and Priya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;To be continue………………..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Chapter Two&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;July 30th, 2003&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the day I joined Infosys - Pune Development Center. After completion of training in Bangalore, I was transferred to Pune. Pune is a great city and is known as the cultural city of Maharashtra. It's famous for its rich heritage of the great Maratha kings. Surrounded by Western Ghats, it is famous for its innumerable trekking spots. Each and every trekking spot is unique in its own style. I am very fond of photography and that made me inclined towards trekking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After I shifted to Infosys Pune Dvelopment Centre, I was put on bench. If you are not in the IT field I am sorry, let me tell you what bench is. Just imagine that you work day and night, you don't have time even to eat or sleep, you are working really hard on your project, you take the whole responsibility, and you feel the deadlines coming hard at you. Now come to the real world. Bench is just doing opposite of this and still receiving the same amount of salary at the end of the month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I was on the bench, I used to leave office early. So, I need something for passing time in the evening. The first and the foremost thing I looked is for a movie theatre. I am very fond of movies. From the days of my college, I used to watch movies every weekend. I did not miss movies even during my final exams. Fortunately I found a multiplex named 'E-Square' near my address. And this theatre became the venue for the beginning of my Love Story. That's an unforgettable incident...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;August 8th, 2003&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A new movie named 'Koi Mil gaya' was released on that day. As I have no work, I went to the theatre early and brought the tickets. The show was at 10:40 PM. I was waiting for my room mate Vinod at the theatre. The theatre was full.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Oh God... It's already 10:30 PM and this Vinod did not turn up till now" I cursed him for being late.&lt;br /&gt;If I don't see a movie right from the titles, I feel that I have not done proper justice to the hundred bucks that I spent on watching the movie. Suddenly my mobile came to life…&lt;br /&gt;"Hello... Vinod... What... Where are you...You are telling me now... What should I do with this ticket...?"&lt;br /&gt;I did not know what to do. Now I need to sell the extra ticket. Suddenly I heard someone calling me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Excuse me..." a girl was calling me.&lt;br /&gt;"Are you calling me?" I asked. I scanned my database but it did not give any result. I did not see her before or I could not remember that I saw her anytime before.&lt;br /&gt;"I think you have an extra ticket" she said pointing towards the ticket I was holding.&lt;br /&gt;"Yup... my friend got stuck up with some crap work in his project. So, now I have to sell this ticket"&lt;br /&gt;"Can you sell that ticket to me? I am looking for one"&lt;br /&gt;"Sure. Take it. You have saved my time" I said giving the ticket to her.&lt;br /&gt;She took out a Five Hundred note and handed it over to me.&lt;br /&gt;"Hey wait... I don't have a change for Five hundred" I said searching my wallet.&lt;br /&gt;"Oh. I don't have any other change"&lt;br /&gt;"It's OK. You can find the change in the canteen inside the theatre. Now Lets move." I said.  "The movie is about to begin"&lt;br /&gt;We moved inside. The movie is being shown on Screen 4. It's on the second floor.&lt;br /&gt;"Did you come alone?" I asked her.&lt;br /&gt;"No... I came with my friends. We came here to watch 'Koi Mil Gaya'. We did not get the tickets. So, my friends went to the movie 'Darna Mana hain'. I don't like horror movies. I was about to return back to home and just then I heard to you talking on the phone"&lt;br /&gt;"Oh..." I said stepping out of the elevator. "By the way, I am Aaryan"&lt;br /&gt;"Ooops... I am sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. I am Priya"&lt;br /&gt;"Good name... So, you are studying here?"&lt;br /&gt;"No, I am working in Wipro"&lt;br /&gt;"Oh... the one located in Hinjewadi. That's great. I work in Infosys"&lt;br /&gt;"That's cool..." She said adjusting her hair over the face.&lt;br /&gt;We went inside the theatre.&lt;br /&gt;"I just want to inform my friends that I am here. If you don't mind, can I make an SMS from your mobile?"&lt;br /&gt;"Sure. No problem. Carry on" I said giving her my mobile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dont know what Hrithik got from 'Koi Mil Gaya' but I found the best friend of my life. And thus our story started and it's just only the beginning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;To be continue………………..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Chapter Three&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;Aug 29th, 2003&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was Friday. I was going to Mumbai that evening. I was reading 'Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix', the latest book of Harry Potter series at that time. Harry Potter books take you into a new world of imagination and you never get tired of reading those books again and again. Some movie was playing in the bus. I was completely involved in the book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hello Aaryan" I heard some one calling me. It was Rahul. He is a friend of Vinod. They work in the same project.&lt;br /&gt;"Hey Rahul, How are you?"&lt;br /&gt;"Not bad. How is your work in the project going on?"&lt;br /&gt;"Hmmm. Fortunately or unfortunately I am not still allocated to any project. I am still on bench" I said.&lt;br /&gt;"Are you still on Bench? You are lucky man"&lt;br /&gt;"I don't know. Everyone say that I am lucky. But I don't feel so. I want some project" I said.&lt;br /&gt;"Why are you taking load about the project? Enjoy the bench. This chance will never come again" he said.&lt;br /&gt;"I don't know. May be you are right. Anyway I am enjoying the bench. See, I completed four books of Harry Potter and am reading the fifth one" I said showing him the book I was holding.&lt;br /&gt;"Great dude, Anyway What are the plans for the weekend?"&lt;br /&gt;"Nothing... Day after tomorrow it's Ganesh Chaturthi and I need to make preparations for it" I said getting back to my reading.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harry Potter just formed a group called DA. The story is getting more and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;more interesting. After some time, the bus stopped near a hotel. I got down to get something to eat. There are three or four buses at the hotel and the hotel was filled with passengers. I bought Samosa and a Pepsi for myself. I found a corner seat and sat down to eat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hi... How are you?" I heard a familiar voice. I looked up.&lt;br /&gt;"Did you recognize me?" She asked.&lt;br /&gt;"Yeah... You are the girl that I met at the theatre"&lt;br /&gt;"Yes. You are Aaryan. Right?"&lt;br /&gt;"Yeah. But I am sorry. I forgot your name. I am really poor at remembering names"&lt;br /&gt;"It's OK. I am Priya"&lt;br /&gt;"Oh. I remember now. So, how are you?" I said smiling at her.&lt;br /&gt;"I am doing well. I tried to call you after that day. But I was not able to reach you"&lt;br /&gt;"You tried to call me? But why and how did you get my number?"&lt;br /&gt;"I owe you a hundred bucks for the movie. We both forgot about it after the movie. So, I was trying to reach you to give you back the money"&lt;br /&gt;"I completely forgot about that money. But, where did you get my number?"&lt;br /&gt;"Do you remember I made an SMS from your mobile to my friend? I got the number from there. So, what happened to your mobile? Whenever I tried to call you, it always gave a message that your mobile was switched off."&lt;br /&gt;"Actually, I had a small problem with my mobile. I dropped it in the water accidentally. I had to give it for repair. Now its fine"&lt;br /&gt;"Anyway, here is the money I owe you. Thanks for the movie that day." She said giving me the money.&lt;br /&gt;"You are welcome" I said&lt;br /&gt; "By the way where do you live in Mumbai?" she asked.&lt;br /&gt;"Andheri West near Lokhandwala" I said.&lt;br /&gt;"I live in Borivali" she said.&lt;br /&gt;"That's too far" I said.&lt;br /&gt;"Yes. It takes lot of time to reach there" She said. "By the way what is the book you are reading?" She asked.&lt;br /&gt;"This is the fifth part of Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" I said showing her the cover of the book.&lt;br /&gt;"I read the first part of Harry Potter. I really liked it and I am looking for the other parts. Do you have them?"&lt;br /&gt;"Yes. I have them in my room in Pune. I can give them to you on Monday. Just call me on Monday"&lt;br /&gt;"Thanks a lot" she said.&lt;br /&gt;One of the buses gave a honk indicating its departure.&lt;br /&gt;"My bus is about to leave. I am leaving. See you on Monday. By the way Happy Ganesh Chaturthi" She said leaving.&lt;br /&gt;"Same to you" I said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was our second meeting. Thanks to Harry Potter, our meetings continued. She called me on Monday for the books. Our friendship grew slowly and she became my best friend. We travel to Mumbai and back to Pune together every weekend.  One more great change in my boring life is that after three months I was allocated to a project. I gave a big party to my friends that day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;To be continue………………&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Chapter Four&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;Priya and I became very good friends. We go to Mumbai together every weekend. I always look to her whenever I need any advice, whenever I need any help and she is always there for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;January 20th, 2004&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You are again late" Priya said showing her watch.&lt;br /&gt;"OK.. OK I am only ten minutes late" I said.&lt;br /&gt;"Ten minutes!!! I am already late for the party..."&lt;br /&gt;"Don't worry, I just called Swetha and she said the party did not start yet"&lt;br /&gt;"Just shut up... and now start the bike" she said sitting on the bike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She is always like that, always hurrying, fighting, shouting at people, but at the same time she is very caring, sweet and beautiful. She has a great passion for books. You always find her reading books. She is very much fond of English literature and comics. She is very sensitive and emotional. She cries watching typical tragedy Hindi movies and at the same time she is best in consoling people when they are sad. I am really proud to have her as a friend and she is my best friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;February 27th, 2004&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"On Sunday we are planning to play Cricket in Juhu beach" said Rahul in the bus.&lt;br /&gt;I was traveling to Mumbai on Friday evening.&lt;br /&gt;"Are you coming?" Rahul asked.&lt;br /&gt;"No yaar... I have some work at home. I cannot come" I said.&lt;br /&gt;"Come on yaar... what work do you have on the weekend and that too on Sunday? It'll be fun. You must come" he insisted.&lt;br /&gt;"I am sorry. I promise I will come next time but leave me this time" I said.&lt;br /&gt;"OK." he said and turned to plan for the match with others.&lt;br /&gt;The bus just got on to the Express Highway. There's still lot of time to reach my home. Priya was reading a book. I prepared myself to take a nap. I pushed the seat back. I don't know how long I slept but suddenly I woke up with Priya hitting me on my head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Get up.. Get up. You sleepy head" I woke up with Priya is hitting me on my head and shouting at me.&lt;br /&gt;"Stop it" I said opening my eyes. "It hurts. Why you always slap me like that?" I asked rubbing my shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;"To keep you awake" she said laughing.&lt;br /&gt;I looked out of the window. Its dark outside and the bus is moving at a rapid pace on the express highway.&lt;br /&gt;"Where are we right now?" I asked her.&lt;br /&gt;"Just passed Lonavala.." she said.&lt;br /&gt;"The bus is still in Lonavala!!! And you woke me from a good sleep. You know what a great dream I just had... Just three more balls and I would have won India the world cup. You spoiled all the fun..."&lt;br /&gt;"Don't start all over again. You and your stupid dreams." she said hitting me again. "By the way what are the plans for the weekend?"&lt;br /&gt;"Nothing as such" I said looking out of the window. The weather is chilling outside.&lt;br /&gt;"Are you listening to me or not?" she said shouting in my ear.&lt;br /&gt;"What? Tell me I am listening" I said turning towards her.&lt;br /&gt;"Do you have any plans for the weekend?" she asked&lt;br /&gt;"I told you, I don't have any plans. Why?" I asked.&lt;br /&gt;"Nothing" She said "I will call you over the weekend if I feel bored in the house"&lt;br /&gt;She returned to her reading as usual. After three hours we reached Mumbai.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;February 29th, 2004&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A girl named Priya called twice for you" Mom said.&lt;br /&gt;I just came from a shop nearby to bring some household items.&lt;br /&gt;"Who is she?" My mother asked.&lt;br /&gt;"She is a friend of mine" I said.&lt;br /&gt;"Oh.. A Girl Friend. Hmmm" Mom said winking at me. &lt;br /&gt;"Don't start it again Mom. She is just a friend" I said.&lt;br /&gt;From the day I got a job in Infosys my Mom started bugging me for my marriage. She wants a daughter in law. She wants to see me living happily with a wife and two kids just like the one in a typical Hindi serial. The phone rang and I know that this call is from Priya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hi Aaryan  ... this is Priya. What are you doing?"&lt;br /&gt;"Nothing" I said.&lt;br /&gt;"Where did you go when I called you?"&lt;br /&gt;"Just went to a shop nearby. Mom told me that you called twice. What happened?"&lt;br /&gt;"There is a big exhibition at Juhu this weekend. Come on let's go"&lt;br /&gt;"What? Now?"&lt;br /&gt;"Yes. Be ready, I will be waiting for you at Andheri station"&lt;br /&gt;"But..." I tried to argue.&lt;br /&gt;"Nothing doing. You are coming and I will wait for you." She said and the phone went off.&lt;br /&gt;"This girl never leaves me an option" I thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it only with Priya or is it with all the girls? They never leave any options. If a girl insists, you have to accept it. Otherwise you are dead. If you give a little freedom, these girls conquer you completely. They make you obey them. With due respect to female community, this is just my opinion. May be I am wrong. But with Priya I am not wrong. She is always like that. If she plans something, she never gives you any other option. You have to follow her plan. Now, please excuse me I need to get ready and start for Andheri railway station. She will kill me even if I am a minute late.&lt;br /&gt;Chapter Five&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;February 29th, 2004&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Where are you going?" Mom asked.&lt;br /&gt;"Juhu beach" I said wearing my shoes.&lt;br /&gt;After twenty minutes I am at Andheri Station. Priya is already waiting for me. She gave an angry look.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Aaryan, you are becoming lazy day by day" she said.&lt;br /&gt;"Wait, let me explain. You called me suddenly and I just came from the shop. I need to get ready and it takes time"&lt;br /&gt;"OK.. OK. Now don't make late. Let's go" she said sitting on my bike.&lt;br /&gt;In half an hour we are in Juhu beach. I parked my bike.&lt;br /&gt;"ISKON temple first" she said. I simply followed her orders.&lt;br /&gt;ISKON temple otherwise known as "Hare Rama Hare Krishna" temple is located near Juhu beach. It's well known for its beautiful construction. We went inside the temple. The temple is very well maintained. It's a very peaceful place.&lt;br /&gt;"Let's sit here" she said. We sat down there on the steps. She took out a packet from her hand bag.&lt;br /&gt;"Happy Birthday" she said handing the packet to me.&lt;br /&gt;"Hey... What is this? How do you know that today is my Birthday?" I asked. I did not expect this. I was really surprised.&lt;br /&gt;"What do you think? You are my best friend. Even if you don't tell me about your birthday I can find it out"&lt;br /&gt;"I am sorry. Actually, I don't like to celebrate birthdays and so I did not tell anyone"&lt;br /&gt;"You don't like celebrating birthdays? Why?" She asked.&lt;br /&gt;"I have my own principles. One should celebrate his birthday only when he achieves something, only when one attains some meaning to his life"&lt;br /&gt;"I did not get you"&lt;br /&gt;"See, each and every person have their own birthday one day or the other. It's nothing special. What did you achieving by coming to this world? Why do you celebrate it when being born is a common thing? According to me, a person gets eligible to celebrate his birthday only when his life has got a meaning, only when he can create a line for himself in the .pages of history..."&lt;br /&gt;"Stop it. Stop it…" She said. "You are becoming too philosophical"&lt;br /&gt;"I told you. I have my own principles"&lt;br /&gt;"See, why do you think you are not special? May be you are not special to yourself. But you are special to someone in this world. You are special to your parents. You are special to your friends. You are special to me. You don't celebrate birthdays for yourself. But, you celebrate birthdays for people who think that you are special. So, Never think you are not special. Once again, Many Many Happy returns of the day"&lt;br /&gt;I did not understand what to say.&lt;br /&gt;"Now, Will you open the packet and see what I bought for you?" she said. I opened the packet. It's a beautiful key chain with my name inscribed on the glass plate.&lt;br /&gt;"This is really good. Thanks for the gift" I said.&lt;br /&gt;"So, how much old are you now?"&lt;br /&gt;"Six years"&lt;br /&gt;"Six years?"&lt;br /&gt;"Yup. Today is February 29th and my birthday comes once in every four years. So I am just six years old"&lt;br /&gt;"That's lovely. So you claim that you are still a kid"&lt;br /&gt;"Am I not?" I said laughing. She also laughed. She looks really beautiful when she laughs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After an hour we went to the beach. Its 11:30 AM. There are very few people in the beach.&lt;br /&gt;"You said that there is some exhibition going on here" I asked Priya.&lt;br /&gt;"I just lied to you to bring you here" she said smiling. "This is my most favorite spot in Mumbai. When I was small, we used to live in Juhu. I used to come here daily after the school in the evening to play. I have lot of memories in this beach"&lt;br /&gt;"That's good" I said. "The school days were always great"&lt;br /&gt;We walked across the beach chatting. Thanks to Priya, this is turning out to be the best birthday of my life. I am really proud to have a friend like her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hey… Aaryan?" I heard someone calling. I turned around. It's Rahul.&lt;br /&gt;"Hi Rahul.. What are you doing here?" I asked.&lt;br /&gt;"I must ask you that question" he said. "I am here to play cricket. I told you day before yesterday in the bus. You said you have some work"&lt;br /&gt;"Yeah. Actually I have got lot of work to do. But what can I do? Priya forced me to come here" I said. "By the way, you don't know Priya. Do you?"&lt;br /&gt;"No" he said.&lt;br /&gt;"Hey Priya, this is Rahul and Rahul this is Priya. She works in Wipro" I said introducing Priya to Rahul.&lt;br /&gt;"Nice meeting you Priya" said Rahul.&lt;br /&gt;Someone called Rahul.&lt;br /&gt;"Sorry. I must leave. It's my turn to bat. We are playing a match here" he said leaving. He gave an angry look at me and left.&lt;br /&gt;"Priya, I am dead now" I said.&lt;br /&gt;"What happened?"&lt;br /&gt;"When Rahul asked me to come to Juhu beach to play cricket, I said that I have some work. Now I am here with you at the same place"&lt;br /&gt;"So?"&lt;br /&gt;"Don't you understand? He saw me with you. I am trapped" I said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went back to home in the evening. I felt as if the weekend has gone very fast. &gt;From tomorrow, again it's the same, the same work, the same code, the same defects and the same testing. But still I feel something good. I feel a change in me. I don't know why and what it is. But I am going find it out very soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;To be continue……….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Chapter Six&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc66cc;"&gt;March 1st, 2004&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a great Sunday, Monday is always a disaster. Today we found a defect in our code and we are asked to fix it immediately. I had to stay till 11:00 PM in the night to complete it. I returned back to room at 12:00 Midnight. My room mate Vinod was waiting for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What happened?" Vinod asked. "Why are you so late?"&lt;br /&gt;"Don't ask. Today we had to deliver a critical fix and it took so long"&lt;br /&gt;"By the way Rahul is very angry upon you"&lt;br /&gt;"Why? Oh.. What can I do? Priya forced me to Juhu beach. Otherwise I have no intention of moving out of my home"&lt;br /&gt;"I don't know. He was spreading rumors"&lt;br /&gt;"Rumors?? What rumors?"&lt;br /&gt;"Rumors about you and Priya"&lt;br /&gt;"Priya is just my friend. What is wrong in this? Why is he after me?"&lt;br /&gt;"I don't know. Now you are trapped. People will start teasing you with the name of that girl" he said laughing. "And I am not going to leave this opportunity. Now I got you"&lt;br /&gt;"Come on. Stop it man" I said beating him with the towel in my hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It did not stop with Vinod. The word spread across our friends that I have a Girl Friend. My friends started teasing me with the name of Priya. Some of them went too far saying that we are engaged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You did not say that you got engaged" My PM asked me one day.&lt;br /&gt;"Nothing like that. People are just teasing me" I said.&lt;br /&gt;"Why don't you bring her to the project party next week?" he asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did not have any answer. People started asking parties for my engagement. Whenever I receive a phone call, they started looking at me as if I got a phone call from my fiancee. Thank god Priya is not in Infosys. If she is in Infosys, she would have known about this and I would have been in an embarrassing situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I will ask you one question. Answer me seriously" Vinod asked one day.&lt;br /&gt;"What?"&lt;br /&gt;"Do you love Priya?" he asked.&lt;br /&gt;"Oh..No.. Not again. Stop it" I said showing some irritation in my voice.&lt;br /&gt;"I am not teasing you. I am asking you seriously" he said.&lt;br /&gt;"Why do you ask?" I said.&lt;br /&gt;"Because, I feel that you are in love with Priya.  Now a days you talk more about Priya and less about yourself. I am your room mate. I am your friend. You cannot hide anything from your friend" he said.&lt;br /&gt;I fell silent for a minute.&lt;br /&gt;"Come on, tell me. Are you in love with her?" Vinod asked.&lt;br /&gt;"I don't know" I said.&lt;br /&gt;"I got the answer" he said. "You are in love with her"&lt;br /&gt;"How do you conclude that? I did not say that I am in love with her"&lt;br /&gt;"You did not say 'No'. You said you don't know. Love always starts with a dilemma. Now you are in a situation that you don't know whether you are in Love or not. Think of it. Listen to your heart. Spend sometime alone. Come out of the dilemma. You will definitely find an answer" he said.&lt;br /&gt;I did not speak a word. I did not understand what to say.&lt;br /&gt;"By the way, you two make a good pair" Vinod said leaving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know whether Vinod started this conversation seriously or to tease me but I started thinking of what Vinod said. Am I in Love?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Priya - It means 'one who is liked by everyone'. In one word it means 'Beloved'. What does she mean to me? I always thought that Love stories exist only in movies. They never exist in real world. But what is this called? Is this Love? I don't know. I can say that I like her very much. But there is a difference between liking and loving. You can like many people but you can love only one. Do I like any other person as much as I like Priya? No. She shouts at me when I am late. She beats me when I am lazy. She corrects me when I am wrong. She consoles me when I am in depression. She encourages me when I try something. She admires me when I achieve anything. No one in the world ever has come so close to me or my heart.  I can't imagine myself without her. I want to share my life with her. I don't want to lose her. Is this called Love? I don't know. But If this is called Love, then yes.. I am in Love with her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I AM IN LOVE WITH PRIYA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now What am I supposed to do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;To be continued…………&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8625344015014814058-6235708927312280942?l=arcpankaj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://arcpankaj.blogspot.com/feeds/6235708927312280942/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://arcpankaj.blogspot.com/2008/06/love-story-chapter-one-what-is-love-it.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8625344015014814058/posts/default/6235708927312280942'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8625344015014814058/posts/default/6235708927312280942'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://arcpankaj.blogspot.com/2008/06/love-story-chapter-one-what-is-love-it.html' title=''/><author><name>Trust Me (TM)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14382959730935654743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__-y6JAuPxdE/Sw9yXoVW44I/AAAAAAAAAQA/Qc29wSmBll8/S220/Pankaj_UP.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
