Love Vs. Marriage


There is no statistical study or result on what exactly love or marriage is. They just happen. No age for it, no time for it, no place for it...The feeling could trigger when you are young, or when your are old; when you are single or when you are married; when you are alone or when you are in a group.

In Love marriages, love may be at first sight, or may be after one or two breakups.

If you have no courage to take the risk of love...no risk, no reward.

Love is like alcohol. Its a bottled poem. Age no bar, caste no bar...

And here is what our LLB guy from the team said:

"Resolved that love is though eternal, it depends on each person's personality and attitude to take it to next level called marriage.

Resolved further that since there are no proven statistics to showcase whether the Love and marriage are correlated or not, it has been decided that we need to understand the words not by its literal meaning but it has to be read along with the relationship two people had before they got married.

Dr. Love. "

Any guesses who is Dr. Love? The young all rounder, whose shortfilm was recently selected ..Gives strong definitions, and claims that he does not want to be married...


P.S. A discussion by the lovers of the team - Rakesh, Anoop& Prasanth (cum writer); and writer Anil.- This is what we the professional accountants discuss in Whatapp...Ooops...

Jokes apart, this made me ponder -

No one can tell you what love is, you will simply know it when you feel it. Love someone who is honest, honest with you, with others and with themselves. It’s a great feeling, indeed!

More than Ram & Sita; Krishna & Rukmani or Sathyabama – Stories of Krishan and Radha are famous, oftesn spoken about – and it is believed that even after death – it is Krishna and Radha who become one?

Marriage is not about procreation, the infertile marry. Marriage is not about finance, the poor marry. Marriage is about love, That’s it. And that’s beautiful.

It is not an objective or goal of any person to get married, but that is one thing that more than 90% of the human being end up doing.

Marriages are neither what you see in movies, nor what you read or listen to people say. It is indeed made in heaven. Sometime I wonder if two people cannot be together why did destiny let them meet at all? So sad to see so many divorces these days..

Wish people could really find their better half – as Devi mentioned “ the critical half that you can’t do without…that half that comes alive when you are totally down in the dumps…that half that does not want to capture your half of the deal and lets your half operate independently…simply lets you breathe and just “BE””

Marriages begin as a simple road trip, and turns out to be a lethal tightrope establishment with family circuses. Happy Marriage is where you can fall asleep and wake knowing your heart is safe. When you stumble down, you have a steady hand to hold on.

“.You start comparing, contrasting, contradicting….Those creeping moments when you start wondering whether hell had anything to do with the origin of marriages…..the blame game erupts at the drop of a hat..err..may be drop of a nappy when you also become ‘parents’ apart from ‘married couple’ .

Like wise Motherhood is when a girl actually transforms into a women. One need not have a kid of own..but having a kid around makes one more responsible, sincere and affectionate in all the things that we do and see.


Truly blessed are those who get into a relationship where they talk like best friends, play like kids, argue like couples and protect each other like siblings. That does not mean someone else is less blessed than they are. It’s just that we are blessed in different ways.

Life is so ironic. It takes sadness to know happiness, noise to appreciate silence and absence to value presence. I type this surrounded with two laptops, two mobiles, facebook, Whatsapp...But with no single soul except mine around! With no regrets - But Thanking God for blessing me in a different way.

Zindagi mein koyi kabhi aaye na rabba
Aaye jo koyi toh phir jaaye na rabba
Dene ho gar mujhe baad mein aansoon
Toh pehele koyi hasaaye na rabba

Rainbows


RAINBOWS ARE RAINBOWS BECAUSE SUNSHINE MEETS RAIN...



Rainbows, would not be rainbows, unless sunshine meets the rain.
I would not see it, unless you were mine.
A rainbow is a promise of sunshine after rain,
Of calm after storm, of joy after sadness,
Of peace after pain, of love after loss.

Hope this is true...Wish good times are ahead.

Humming...Main Meerase devani ho gayi..iss dunya se begani ho gayi...

Thank you very much...for bringing this to my attention.

Hamari Adhuri Kahani



Not sure...was busy in office...did not even know about this movie...heard half of a dialogue and there I go...within minutes...I was in the theater watching the movie on the day of release...

Though there were many negative comments on it, I do not regret having seen it.

The movie opens with a woman (Vidya - old but hair dyed) getting off from the bus at Chatisghar, she tumbles and falls down after walking a few steps. An elderly man (Hari) is seeing psychiatrist about hallucinations of his wife, & he is then recruited by his son's wife who takes him to his wife's funeral, where he steals her ashes and leaves a diary for his son.

It then jumps to past where, Vasudha (Vidya Balan) is a florist and a single mother whose husband is missing for five years, bound to traditions she has been waiting for him since he left her. Vasudha meets Aarav Ruparel ( Emraan Hashmi) in one of his hotels, where she works as a floral arranger. Here we have some unnecessary dialogues.


She becomes romantically involved with a Aarav;her husband Hari ( Rajkumar Rao) returns....And thus they Vidya and Aarav become like Radha and Krishna.

It had some puch dialogues; some were little too much.

You also love me very much, but you won't say that ... you'll wriggle without me but you won't show that ... you want to come to me, you want to hug me and cry, you want to stay in my heart but you won't stay ... but I'm not like you ... I can't live without saying that I love you.

The mother son story is touching. But there is something missing, some mismatch between past and present in the movie. Though Vidya was cool...not as ever...

Oh my God....2nd movie in the theater in such a short span of time...May be making up for the lost years...

Need a driver...



Took a test to find out what my perfect job is, and got the response - motivational speaker! Details being

"You're a true student of human nature and have a great eye for the strengths and abilities of your fellow man. You should definitely offer coaching and motivational training! You can assess someone's personality as soon as they enter the room, and you know exactly where and how you need to tickle your clients to deliver top performance! You know exactly how to inspire someone; at the same time, your compassion and kindness cause people to feel accepted and understood around you. You should really become a motivational speaker!" Way to go....

Would love to do it - need a driver.

Read-'India's IT Party is over. Reinvent yourself or suffer'- and how automation is going to reduce the job of middle managers. Happy with the present job, but need to develop Plan A - skills in the current role and Plan B- Another Career B; so it matches with the above.

Would love to develp and understand it - need a driver.

I know being with no one is better than being with the wrong one, sometimes those who fly solo has the strongest wings, but at times feel that I am all alone amidst the busy crowd. Something that is pulling me backwards, when in fact, I would want to go forward.

Would love to go forward - need a driver.

At this juncture, with all the losses, and so many things to be done, Missing Achan a Lot; wishing he would be around. Know death is the end of suffering, but

Would love to live untill I die - need a driver.

One life, so many places to visit, so many things to be done, miles to go. But the path is difficult, long and dense. Moreover I am unable to drive myself, Though

Would want to do all that can be done in this life - need a driver.

Tanu Weds Manu Returns....



How often we have wondered what have happened to the characters of a story or the movie after the end? I have upteen times, and loved to see Tanu weds Manu Returns...The movie was tight, light, yet layered.

"Tanu Weds Manu Returns" starts in London with its protagonists (a terrific Kangana Ranaut and a very likeable and mature R Madhavan)falling out of love and traying to take psychiatric help to save their marriage. With things falling out of place, Tanu returns to her home town and gets close and flirty with Raja Avasthi(Jimmy Shergill, Superb), her ex love interest. She also ignites love in Adv. Arun (Mohammed Zeeshan Ayub in top form) who has been living in her room without paying rent for quite sometime now. In the meantime Manu is back in Delhi and while giving lecture at Delhi University meets Datto (Kangana in her secondrole and with a spot on Haryanvi accent), who reminds him of Tanu and starts following her only to fall in love with her. Pappi (Deepak Dobriyal, as good as ever)who had fallen for Komal in the last instalment travels to Chandigarh with Manu and Datto so that he could stop her wedding. Tanu and her family are already there in the wedding and Payal (Swara Bhaskar - terrific)has had a child through ART but is terrified of revealing to Jassi (Ijaz Khan) that heis not the father of the kid. At the wedding, everyonetakes Datto for Tanu and Manu's verbal exchanges result in Manu declaring that he is going to marry Datto - only to Raja's disappointment ashis wedding was already finalised with Datto. Finally Manu is back to Tanu...for her determination. It's interesting watch and scores better than its prequel. My heart was with Kusum though!

Weekend with Kangana Ranaut as Tanu & Kusum with colleague and mom(who reminded me of my Father and Grandmother) and Sunday -Queen with mom..She is simply awesome..looks like 3 complete different person..Kusum reminded me of Geena George; not sure if it was like Sachin Tendulkar hitting a century and India loosing a cricket match or otherwise..

But it was a special watch, and Thanks for the day,not sure when and how I am gonna repay ...It reminded me of a similar incident 8 years before watching Om Shanti Om in 2007.

It's so hard to Love easily, Yet so easy. Belive this is not true...Everyone, everything has its/their own place and when replaced the vaccum remains. But deep down these words give temporary hope -

God will never leave you empty. He will replace everything you lost. If he asks you to put something down, it's because He wants you to pick up something greater.
