How to keep your girlfriend happy?

1. One & Only. Your girlfriend should be your one & only. Make her feel special, k guys ? You’re lucky to have her even if she’s lucky to have you too. We know there are prettier out there but we like feeling as if we’re the only beautiful one in your eyes, & the only one you see.

2. “Ladies first.” No. That rule doesn’t apply to communication. Don’t wait for her call, text, IM, why don’t you try talking to her first for a change ? It’s thoughtful & sweet if a guy can actually do that.

3. Surprise her. You don’t have to drive an hour to her house at 3 a.m. to set off her name in fireworks in front of her window, but the little things are big things. A simple, good morning text, is more powerful than you think.

4. What insecurities? For the love of God, all girls have insecurities. Please don’t point them out. For example, today I was looking at food & my boyfriend said “You eat a lot. You probably could beat me at a buffet.” WHAT. THAT’S NOT WHAT YOU SAY. Also, let her be herself. If she’s having a bad hair day, don’t make fun of her if it’s hurtful. Let her wear sweatpants & still feel pretty damn cute around you, even when she’s not looking her best.

5. Act the same around your friends. You’re not a real man if you completely blow off your girl in front of your homeboys. When you’re going to hang out with her & your friends you better not run off & leave her standing there to greet them like WUDDUPPP GUYSSS.. NO, you better at least walk with her & introduce her to them if you haven’t already. If you walk with her hand in hand, she’ll love it.

6. When she’s mad. Dude, you better try & get her back. Chase her, whatever it is, don’t let her walk away when she’s mad at you. It shows you don’t care enough to go after her. Don’t let her go.

7. Maintain. If you did a bunch of cute things with her before, try & keep it up. You don’t have to go all out everyday for her, but don’t stop completely just because you got her already.

8. Honesty. If you lie to her, you’re going to have one hell of a time regaining that trust because she’ll start questioning everything you’ve said or done for her, no matter how small that lie was. Fess up or get lost.

9. Trust. If your girl really doesn’t like one of your friends, trust, she has good reason to. Girls’ intuition -shrug- So don’t go hanging with your homegirl all the time if you know your girlfriend doesn’t like that bitch. She usually won’t hate for no reason. Respect her.

10. Love her. That’s all

Growing Up...

Growing up...
Your best friend becomes your worst enemy.
Lollipops turn into cigarettes.
The innocent ones turn into sluts
Homework goes in the trash
Detention becomes suspension
Soda becomes vodka
Undies turn into g strings and boxers
Kisses turn into sex
Remember when getting high meant swigging on the playground?
When protection meant wearing a helmet?
The worst things to get from boys were cooties
Your worst enemies were your siblings
Race issues were about who ran the fastest
War was a card game
And the only drug we knew about was cough medicine
The most painful things were skinned knees
And goodbyes only meant untill tomorrow
But to think we all couldn't wait to grow up.

Divine Balancesheet (Via Mani Nanda)

"

A Priest dies & is awaiting his turn in line at the Heaven's Gates.
Ahead of him is a guy, fashionably dressed, in dark sun glasses, a
loud shirt, leather jacket & jeans.

God asks him: Please tell me who are you, so that I may know whether
to admit you into the kingdom of Heaven or not?

The guy replies: I am Pandi, Auto driver from Chennai! God consults
his ledger, smiles & says to Pandi: Please take this silken robe &
gold scarf & enter the Kingdom of Heaven ...

Now it is the priest's turn. He stands erect and speaks out in a
booming voice: I am Pope's Assistant so & so, Head Priest of the so &
so Church for the last 40 years.

God consults his ledger & says to the Priest: Please take this cotton
robe & enter the Kingdom of Heaven ...'Just a minute,' says the
agonized Priest. 'How is it that a foul mouthed, rash driving Auto
Driver is given a Silken robe & a Golden scarf and me, a Priest, who's
spent his whole life preaching Your Name & goodness has to make do
with a Cotton robe?'

'Results my friend, results,' shrugs God.

'While you preached, people SLEPT; but when he drove his Auto, people PRAYED'

"It's PERFORMANCE & not POSITION that ultimately counts.

Lord Shiva & Maa Kaali...Total Awesome-ness!

These are the four variations which I've made with Lord Shiva and Maa Kaali on a Battlefield.

Four boys and a girl

Once upon a time, there was this girl who had four boyfriends.

She loved the 4th boyfriend the most and adored him with rich robes and treated him to the finest of delicacies. She gave him nothing but the best.

She also loved the 3rd boyfriend very much and was always showing him off to neighboring kingdoms. However, she feared that one day he would leave her for another.

She also loved her 2nd boyfriend. He was her confidant and was always kind, considerate and patient with her. Whenever this girl faced a problem, she could confide in him, and he would help her get through the difficult times.

The girl’s 1st boyfriend was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining her wealth and kingdom. However, she did not love the first boyfriend. Although he loved her deeply, she hardly took notice of him.

One day, the girl fell ill and she knew her time was short. She thought of her luxurious life and wondered, I now have four boyfriends with me, but when I die, I'll be all alone.'

Thus, she asked the 4th boyfriend, I loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?

'No way!', replied the 4th boyfriend, and he walked away without another word.

His answer cut like a sharp knife right into her heart.

The sad girl then asked the 3rd boyfriend, ‘I loved you all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?’

'No!', replied the 3rd boyfriend. 'Life is too good! When you die, I'm going to marry someone else!'

Her heart sank and turned cold.

She then asked the 2nd boyfriend, ‘I have always turned to you for help and you've always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?'

‘I am sorry, I can't help you out this time!', replied the 2nd boyfriend. ‘At the very most, I can only walk with you to your grave.’

His answer struck her like a bolt of lightning, and the girl was devastated.

Then a voice called out: ‘I will go with you. I will follow you no matter where you go.'

The girl looked up, and there was her 1st boyfriend. He was very skinny as he suffered from malnutrition and neglect.

Greatly grieved, the girl said, 'I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!’

In truth, you have 4 boyfriends in your lives:

Your 4th boyfriend is your body. No matter how much time and effort you lavish in making it look good, it will leave you when you die.

Your 3rd boyfriend is your possessions, status and wealth. When you die, it will all go to others.

Your 2nd boyfriend is your family and friends. No matter how much they have been there for you, the furthest they can stay by you is up to the grave.

And your 1st boyfriend is your Soul (Conscience). Often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power and pleasures of the world.

However, your Soul is the only thing that will follow you where ever you go. Cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now without temptation to go the corrupt way, for it is the only part of you that will follow you and continue with you throughout Eternity.

Life post BMM

I graduated from Patkar College Bachelors in Mass Media (BMM) during April 2009.
During that time I was in the mode of completing my graduation and never have I looked past that degree. I was living a dream during that point of time, never to study anything after the degree. I wanted to work in some really good company so that I can have a good work experience which I already achieved. I worked for an event management company called No Bars in Pune after my final exams. It was a really good post as I was working as a creative and marketing executive. It was an intern-level job and a good beginning in the field of Advertising.
My job was to create and design posters for the music events. On top of that I brought about key  strategies which I learned during college and from the books I read during my graduation. To be blunt, it didn’t work out well for me because I had no “on field” experience. I wouldn’t say it was a complete disaster but it proved to be good learning experience and this experience didn't help in my current position.

The good thing about the job was the social interactivity and meeting young talented musicians and people from different fields who had a common interest in the business and passion for music.

A passion for music, this attracted me and that’s why I didn’t regret working in this company. I quit my job during November 2009, when I realized that I am just living a dream and every dream turns into a nightmare eventually. I realized that your degree is a supplement to a social and monetary status. In today’s world an MBA has driven this world to switch into a different position, a position much higher than just a degree.

People look towards more than just a Post graduate and an MBA degree. I realized this a bit too late. I have always traveled this dark road alone without holding anyone’s hand. My parents are there to help me out, however they can, but I never did I cry out for help. Only in few extreme circumstances must have I asked for their help.

Many have had or has a godfather or a godmother to help them out or show him/her THE WAY.

I have also given certain entrance exams but they proved to be futile. It’s been almost a year since graduation. I’m still unemployed and a Graduated BMM student with less than a year’s work experience. It has been a really tough  and long road with shifting from Mumbai to Pune and vice versa in search for a reasonable job with good income and satisfactory condition.

I hope within the coming months I hope to pursue post graduation or work in a place where instead of slogging miserably work in a place where you find happiness because the pursuit of happiness is always internal and externally motivated, that’s what I have learned over the past few months.

Happiness is not to be pursued, it always there, right in front of you. You just have to remove the blindfold and see it.

Strangest Moments of My Past

There are some things in my Life where I want to relive particular incidents, and in time have lost many thoughts of those special people.

1. To be really honest with you guys, My first fight was with a gal (her name was Priyanka) and she was 17 yrs and I was just 11 yrs old. I have no idea what the argument was all about but it became so violent that she punched me on my lips and I ended up having bloody lips.
In a fit of rage, I aimed to punch her face but somehow I knocked her Breasts! (Thus came the height difference since I was really short).

That was the 1st time, I ever touched a woman's breasts! (completely unintentional).

But that was just an accident. Now I actually remember how much I loved fighting with this gal since the punch from this girl was really good and I really did enjoy the fist fights inside the school bus.
I have no idea where she is and what is she doing these days? But I really miss this "tomboy" woman and I hope you still remember me.

2. It was the International Children's Theater Film Festival 2002, and for the 1st time I had to dance a Waltz with this beautiful gal who was from Cambridge. Well, I really had fun dancing the waltz with this gal since she was the reason I wanted to learn the waltz and it was fun when we danced live in front of around 9 to 10 cameras aiming at you.

I was shit scared and I was as so pale in front of the cameras (as if She was dancing with a ghost). At the end of the dance, she comes to me, she laughs and says to me, "Nick, I'm waiting for the next dance".

I really miss the waltz n hope if she reads this, I would want to dance the Waltz once again with her. But I just can't remember her NAME !!!!!

Unreal

Forgive me father,
For I have sinned,
Ever imagined a world,
That we live in,
Isn’t real?

Questioning our existence,
I believe our existence is unreal,
The subject of life and death,
Seems far fetched once we think about it,
Are we alive or are we dead?

What if this world we live in,
Is just a dream?
Or it’s just a memory of the past?
Maybe we are dead,
Maybe we are just lost souls floating in this world,
And this world is just a place we souls imagine we live in.

The human mind has the tendency to believe in something that ensures happiness and satisfaction rather than to cause fear.

For e.g. People believe in love and people believe in love at first sight;
People believe in lust also, but people won’t believe in lust at first sight.
Well if you think about it,
It’s always lust at first sight because people actually have the fear of accepting it. People think lust is negative emotion and love is a positive emotion filled with happiness and joy.

Another example,

Let’s take the phase of life and death. Why do people think life is such a happy occasion and death is filled with sadness and sorrow?

Life and death are just two different words with the same internal meaning. It’s like taking two different worlds in a parallel universe. For one world’s death is another world’s life and vice versa. But for both the worlds it holds the same meaning.

Sometimes I also wonder about these two words; fate & destiny. Some people may believe in it and some may not. Others may just have a quiet opinion about it. Well if you think about it fate and destiny, they have the same function like life and death but have a different meaning.
These two words are just a script handed down to one’s body, mind and soul. You have no control over your life because you are just a puppet of someone who has a higher power.
Being a rebel doesn’t make a difference since it’s already written in that script which you are carrying around your entire life.
Your every body movement, judgments, decisions, thinking, perception, communication, work, likes, dislikes, beliefs, you name it, the reason for your existence is written in that script.

One’s life is just a live-film and you are the lead character. In a world of a population of over 2 billion, hasn’t anyone realized that you are the main character of your life?

We seem to live in a world built with fear,
A world that doesn’t seem to accept the real from the unreal,
A world where reality’s acceptance is one’s fear,
The world is changing,
Around two or three decades back, every movie seemed to have a happy ending,
Also some of the greatest movies have inspired people for a long time,
But some contemporary movies haven’t had the best of mankind.

Our world has grown in the name of fear,
It has motivated and built itself with the help of fear.
Electricity, food, medicines and communication etc- what if only country or one nation has it?
Fear would strike other nations and with the help of that fear, it slowly learns to create their own marvels.


Many people would think is the “crazy” talk, or this is non-sense. I may not have any evidence to my thesis but in my defense I would just ask people to think about your existence. Some people may seem to ignore this fact, which proves my first point and that is the fear of accepting which is unreal or something which brings about a negative feeling inside a person.
Everything happens for a reason, but some things are just planned and you would have no option to just follow that path.

Just Another Thought

There are times,
When I look into her eyes,
Thinking... whether is she the one?
Expressing her Love,
Expressing her Hate,
On an unworthy Soul,
Seems like a dagger that's been stabbed back & forth on this worthy soul.

Sometimes I hate myself,
Being friends is pointless,
It's a waste of time,
There's nothing called Love or Friendship,
Perhaps... I would agree with Lust and Repugnance,
Greed and Gluttony,
Envy and Wrath.

Questioning self is something that cannot be stopped,
It makes life more interesting,
Except for one question,
And that is... Do I Exist?
Existence seems fruitless.

Kill me Sane World

Life seems so monotonous,
Versatility where are you?
Where the hell are you?
I've been waiting for a Change all my life,
Life's like a song,
Sometime it's Life Rocks,
Sometime it's Life Sucks,
But... that's "Life".

I need something different,
Bored with the same old daily routine from pathetic life,
Eat-Drink-Sleep,
Is that life?
Social, Personal, Professionals,  None of these - a happiness.
Then what is Life?

Some say Life is a blessing bestowed upon us by the Holy One,
Some say Life is a way of living,
Some say Nothing,
But for me,
Life is seems like a mysterious curse,
We are born as pure souls of that live in this impure world,
Some see this through but others just choose to ignore,
The world we live upon is Hell,
We become tormented souls by the darkness of this world,
This is the world we live in,
A world of filled with endless insanity.

People believe in God,
People believe in the Almighty
People believe in the Holy One,
I don't believe...

Every devoted person submit their souls to the almighty,
That's a life's fear,
I don't wont my life to be controlled by an external power,
I want to control my life,
I want to control my destiny,
And I want to control my Fate,
No one Controls my life.

But my life's just beginning,
So many things to do,
So many things to see,
So many things to feel,
So many things to taste,
So many things to smell,
So many things to experience.

At times I wonder,
Where would I be in 20 or 30 years from now?
Where would this crazy insane person be?
Whether I would still be alive?
Or whether I would be dead?
Would Life control me?
Or Whether I would Control my life?

Love is Life,
Life isn't Life,
But since I don't have either of them,
What's the use of Love and Life?
If there isn't any Love,
There's no hate,
If there's no life,
There's no death,
So the conclusion here is,
No love, No life,
No hate, No death...

So I can't die nor can i live?
Great!

So again I draw another conclusion,
I'm just existing,
Existing without Love or Life, Death or Hate.
In this hell,
The only thing that would defy my existence,
Would be Me,
A clutter of anger, desperation, jealousy,
Clogged in this sane mind,
Kill me sane world,
Let me Rust in Peace!
