I am a quite friendly person. I can keep in touch with everyone I know. If I make friends, they are forever for me. I behave in the same manner with them all the time... Y E S all the time! But then why do others are not like that? Why do some people behave different everytime? They just come in to your life... make you smile, make you happy, care for you, make you feel as a part of their life... And when you start considering them as your friend, as your closed ones, they just make you feel you don’t even exist for them!!! W H Y??? Why do people are different all the time? How am I supposed to behave with them? I mean am I expecting something too much?

Inter-Religion-Marriage
Religion and marriage are very sensitive topics. I don’t know if I have any right to write on it, but these are just some things which I really feel, n I am writing down that over here. I absolutely have no intention to hurt anyone.
Marriage is a very important thing in everyone’s life. I am born in a Maharashtrian (that too in a Brahmin) family. I will be getting married to a Christian boy. (I can see the raised eyebrows and popped out eyes of lots of people, especially of the people who stay in India). But it’s my decision and I have taken it after thinking a lot before taking it. Rather, when both of us took this decision, we knew that it’s going to be a major thing and we should consider all the facts. Because whatever it is, after all this is going to be an inter-religion-marriage. And I am certainly matured enough to take the marriage thing very much seriously. So we had a long discussions, gave lots n lots of thoughts, considering all the pros n cons of it. Here are the few things on which I gave some serious thought before taking the decision!
And the main thing which came in my mind is a complete acceptance! Though we are the bestest friends, knew each other since a long period, still I am going to get married with a guy who is not of my religion. So definitely his culture and my culture are totally different. And I know, atlest in India, a girl has to adjust more than a boy. It’s an unwritten rule! Though I will not get converted in that religion (which I don’t think is much important), still I will have to accept the person with his religion from my heart. It’s very easy to say that I don’t believe in any religions, all religions are same and blah blah… But in reality, there is a difference. I really think that if I want to make this marriage as a successful marriage, then I will have to keep my ego (n not a self-respect) aside, and accept the things. Keep aside the immense-egoistic-love (n not respectful-love) for my own religion and think on how I can make a perfect mixture of both the religions so that both of us can enjoy our life and will not have any difficulties in accepting each other.
I feel the key for a successful marriage is, respecting you spouse and his family, believes, and willing to do the adjustments without having any hazels in the mind. You should mean whatever you say. It should not be only in words, but it should be coming out from your heart. If you say that you are agnostic about the religions and all, then just be honest about it. Because marriage means living together... accepting each-other as they are, changing yourself a little bit so that you can easily get adjusted with the other person. Marriage means a Union of two hearts... two persons... then why not two religions?

Oops... I missed the rains this year!
It’s been a looooong time... giving relief to the majority of the people here in India :), the rainy season is finally over for this year now. At least I think so!) Can not guarantee anything after considering the record of this year, it can start raining now also.
Rainy season was always full of enjoyment. (Atleast I have enjoyed it every year!) The climate is so nice.. so cool... N certainly much (to infinity) better than this October heat these days!
As a child, it was always fun. Getting wet while coming from the school, forgetting everything. No worries about u getting ill, books getting wet, mom scolding, just enjoy... My favourite was, walking on the road full of water (I still love to do that :D). Though the rains were not that bad those days like past two years!
In college days, the definition of enjoyment changed.. Walking on the road with friends.. with umbrella in one hand and bhutta in other hand... spending hours like that to discuss about which movie to go n where to eat! The ways were different, but the enjoyment was there.
And now, at this age (I am quite young, u know!) certainly the heart is young, romantic. You feel like enjoying the rains with someone special in your life. Feel like spending atleast one rainy evening with THE person! But... alas! My Mr. Special was not here with me for the entire season. *a-deeeeeeeeep-sigh*. N I really feel... I have missed the season this time!

The Second post (???)
This is just my second post here. But I don’t know what to update in this! Earlier when I did not have the blog, I had lots n lots of things which I used to think I should publish it somewhere for others to read. But now when I have this place to write, why I can not do the damn thing? huh… have I got the writer’s block or what??? (a l r e a d y??? before me becoming A writer??? *surprised*)...

Me too have a blog now :)!!!
It’s strange, but I really don’t know what do I am doing over here. I am not a writer, to write some good stories... I am not a poet to write any poetry. Neither do I am so open n expressive to write honestly everything about my life here (I have my personal diary for that :D)! BUT, still I am here!!! May be I am just too obsessed of this blog-reading since past a few months, Y E S, I have been reading many of the blogs thru Nessa’s blogs (n her friend’s and their friends n so on) these days, so just thought of having my own blog :). So here is... a little something from moi!
Now this is my first post, so indeed it's something very special for me. Like your first baby is always very special for you :). (Okay okay.. I know this is not a book or something to call this as a first baby n all, but still for a non-writer like me, this means a LOT!). AND as the courtesy of introducing me to this blogworld goes to Nessa, I dedicate this post to her. Again, I know I am not a writer or writing a book over here to dedicate it to someone... but yes, this would never have happened without Nessa, because I was literally unaware of the word blog before I met her. Thanks sweetie!
That’s it for now! Hope I will get some readers waiting for me to update this soon ;) (So greedy I am!)
