A Good article on Lost love and what to look in the next realtionship

I think, and this is just me, I can't talk for anyone else...but I loved someone like that to....here's my take

1. Its the very first time I ever really knew love and it was great...he didn't, but I did, and I'm thankful for that, and understand the meaning of "better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all".

2. We always want what we can't have.....we're like children, yanno...

3. Consider yourself very fortunate....because, maybe, just maybe, she's still cheating...remember, a person doesn't do, what isn't already in them to be...

4. The hurt was so bad that you fear giving your heart away again...don't...it may happen again and again, do not take it as a rejection, simply understand that the two of you are not compatible...not really...if you were, you'd still be together.

Take it slow, go out and meet people and when you meet someone, don't fall in love with love or your idea of what love is...be realistic and look at who she really is....enfactuation can be the biggest lier....yanno? Watch how she talks about her family, and God as my witness, if she's had big family problems, please stay away....when your with ther and her family members does she treat them with respect....does she have goals...and does she plan to achieve them when your married, or abandon them...or is she simply looking for a man to take care of her....?????? It is best to realistically ask yourself these questions...

Hugs and good luck...
and remember, just my thoughts

Who am I Part -2?

So why part 2 of the blog. A good question espeially as can an idividual be defined differently or an a person become a different individual in a short span of a year maybe not. But for any person who is interested in pysholodgy as me, an individual has so many dimensions that it is more like looking at something through a kaleisope. Even when the viewer is himself. And unlike the first post which I had reacted when I first put my posting in some dating sites, this time when I revisit the same blog I looked them with a different light, and thus the blog.

One thing that omes out is certainly with respet to last a year or so, of how important par tmy upbringing plays a part. Though I might want to underplay it but as I am grwoing as an individual I ertainly think the grwoing up in a fainly based upbringing in India where it is given suh high importance I ertainly think it is an important part of my psyhe. And it certainly dawned at me after I have come bak to CA. As I see more individual settled I certainly see an internal peressure grwoing of being something wrong being a bachelor.

Then it dawn on mme what sort of individual I would like to get associated with. I would put three things Independent, intelligent and different. I like independent thought, a person who has her own mind, a mirror to which I look into and which shows a clearer us. Though it might be different than me, but woul'nt it be boring if I got asssociated with myslef all over again. I like intelligence or more exactly pursuit of it. It here I like difference, as it is difference which expands yourself and also which makes us believe more in ourself. In a word I would like to listen till after few hours the other person says "honey do you have anything to say." And surely as with everything the other person has to like me for what I am. I am a human with imperfections trying to improve to dodge the next unknown curve in life.

A tough question, as I think we all live to discover who we are and what we want from this journey called life. But comparatively easier one, and one which I could better vouch for is "Who I want to be, and what values I adheres to". I suppose my ethos and core values can be put in
1. I believe in that you can not guarantee if you are going to be rich nor healthy nor famous, but you can guarantee that you can be a nice person
2. I believe the only way to avoid the "pitfalls of maturity" is by expanding you mind and be always open to experiences.
And to certain degree life has been kind in getting all this, to a certain degree. I like travelling and have lived in many parts of "Pole apart" countries USA and India (joined by a common democracy and multiculturalism but divided by divergent cultures and sociological thinking). And have savoured the rich ethos of both the places.
And two interest I have. Meet people so as abut the experiences and see the world through some else glasses, for a moement live someones' live.
And surely music. Emotion and music so interweaves that it can excite any emotions. Scientific it is one of most powerful means of exciting the left part of brainssicahe more abstract like Western or Indian classical or Pink Floyd the better. And on the other side vicariously with high degree of identification with moments in ones lives in songs of Bob Dylan or Anjan Dutt, Elton John or Gulzar, John Denver or Rabindra Sangeet, Billy Joel or Naushad, U2 or AR Rahman, Guns N' Roses or RD Burman, Carpenter or Ghalib, Tchosoisky or Ravi Shankar, BOb Marley or Baul Sangeet. I can go on but in a word nothing captures the most human aspect of me, ie emotions than music, and I have been so forunate of being able to experince so many good forms from different places.

Well I do not want to go on and on and on, but if you find it querked your imagination.. email me...

Did not know I had a column for it. So would have to cut and copy the already stuff
I love to go for cup of coffee or or anything where I could learn more about you like a a trip to bookstore or museum or even roller coaster or how about bungy jumping!!
But maybe not alcohol, might become too tipsy and if I find you too attractive.... it should not be too many things happening all in one day... I suppose believe in adage "good things come to people who wait".. ;-)
But minus my verbosity... I like to know people... who would turn out to be really good friends...
