Random..

Yesterday a friend was complaining about the number of rifts between married couples these days, and I couldn't help wondering if she was right.

She told me an interesting story. One of her girlfriend's has been married for the last 5 years. The couple already have a cute little daughter. But the husband and wife had a big fight when he felt that she was not being true to him. I can't cover the whole incident here. But let me tell you, it boils down to lack of trust and insecurity.

After discussing about that, my friend told me something very beautiful. Her dad and mum were a happily married couple until recently - until her dad passed away due to Cancer.

In her own words, "My dad was the head of the family, but my mum had the last word!.. always! My dad respected my mum to do things her way. Sometimes, when he had to get some groceries from the shop down the street, he would insist that my mum come along. He loved to do everything together with her, He wanted those walks and arguments with her. This is how it was until he was bed ridden with Cancer. Where is that old school romance gone? Our generation has so many places and resources to hang out as a couple. But these days people cant get over their egos and insecurities.."

I could do nothing but wonder who I'll be with.. Talk about wishful thinking!!

Oh, btw Last week I checked up something on the dictionary and it made me happy!

I checked out the meaning of the word EMOTIONS.. yeah you got it right!.. emotions

Somewhere, deep down, a doubt - Am I emotional or not?? And is my right to 'Not share every instinctive feeling' with somebody right or not?

So my favorite online dictionary - Dictionary.com defines emotions as below(No.. I don't check out Oxford/Cambridge/Webster)

emotions :

1. an affective state of consciousness in which joy, sorrow, fear, hate, or the like, is experienced, as distinguished from cognitive and volitional states of consciousness.

2. any of the feelings of joy, sorrow, fear, hate, love, etc.

Yes!.. Yes! .. Goddamn it! I am emotional!... I feel joy when I discuss new ideas. I feel fear when I start implementing one of the projects, I hate it when things slow me down. I love it when I dream :)

I am happy I made peace with myself about something which has been nagging me at the back of my mind.

I watched Julie and Julia. I loved it!...

Somebody finally said the words, which I have been fearing to say, to escape the 'unhealthy eating', 'reckless, fattening habits' tags...

IS THERE ANYTHING BETTER THAN BUTTER?

I completed my first Sigma Force novel - Black Order. It was amazing, at least until the end. The pace of the book was so fast... uff .. I literally ran along. Friends thought that I was going mad with the number of times I said "Oh Shit!.. n "F**k" during the novel.

On the more lighter side, I completed reading P.G Wodehouse's 'Uncle Dynamite'. I read it at a very slow pace ... "Pongo, My boy, Don't hurry it.. It will come to you" :)

As usual, P.G. Wodehouse is always bright, funny... like the warm sunshine which makes you breath in lungs full of fresh air, adds a lithe to your step and makes you say "What a nice day"
