"Rain rain come again little johnny wants to play ...", is what we used to sing as children.Now a days i seem to be singing "Rain rain go away,little johnny wants his clothes today (dried and ironed)"As Dilbert says "If something has to go wrong,it will."It won't rain for days and then suddenly one day when the clothes are washed and left out to dry GOD decides to cry...
I was recently reading one of my friend's blog who had dedicated ten posts in a row to her beloved partner since their anniversary was approaching. She wrote of 10 qualities in the guy which makes him so special to her in those posts. Nice,touchy and lovely use all the adjectives one wants to use.I guess she is head over heels in love with this fellow.Good for both of them and i wish them all the luck.But just then it got my grey cells buzzing with activity.What exactly is love,have had my fair share of smiles and sweet kisses,trials and tirades of this thing called love.But yet i somehow fail to understand all this.Have seen to many valentine day couples not even greeting one another after a year and behaving as total strangers when they encounter one another at a common friend's party.Do we learn from our mistakes or is life and relationships in today's age where hymen and not hearts are broken to ephemeral to ponder over these.I guess i would try writing a dedicated post on how and why relationships don't work ( sounds very mechanical ) but something of that sort.
Now this one is a killer,have this new juno in office,lets call him X.X had to schedule a meeting with participants coming from various timezones.So i happened to ask him at what time he would schedule it so that it's convenient for everyone.In the process i discovered he is completely unaware about this worldy wisdom on time and timezones.After all he has had all the time in the world all these years.So i decided to educate him.Here is a piece of the conversation:
Me:How much time does earth take to revolve around the sun?
X:How can we know that !!!
Me(Astonished): What???Dude what is the difference between rotation and revolution?
X is speechless,wondering from where on earth have i come and why am i talking greek and latin.
Me:So why do you think it's day here when it's night in US? Why are there these different timezones?
Now the answers that i got were complete killers.Here it goes
X:God decided that (Pause) hmmm... NO USA decided to keep it like this.A long pause
Don't ask me these social science questions it was not there in my syllabus.
Shocked and aghast, another colleague and me introduced him to this thingz called Google, asked him to draw from our collective wisdom as a society form Wiki and had the best laugh of our lives.
Cheers !!!

Amazes me that you are still trying to find an answer to that question :D
Trust me life's much easier when u stop bothering abt "what exactly is love".. :) I ,for one, change my definition of love and suit it according to my needs n convenience as and when required.. Things get much easier that way :)
True amazes me as well,but then i can't keep changing definitions.Luckily or unluckily i understand 0 or 1.So either
1)there is something called love then i need to understand what it is.
2)Else there is nothing of that sort thus all this is a sham.In that case atleast in my eyes humans are reduced to the status of inanimate objects "which" should be manipulated and mutiliated with all the physical,chemical and biochemical techinques available for my own gain.
The first i don't yet understand, the second i don't yet like completely.
