Rambler asks what we think of this crazy little thing called love…though he calls it attraction. Ah…a rose by any other name would have the same thorns..
Attraction, a thought which keeps baffling me day in and day out. what it about attraction which makes it hard to define?, why is it that we get attracted [...]

Well?
Nope. Dud. And failed attempts lead to system re-boot.
So now?
So now I’m eating chocolates. I’m turning into Bridget Jones.
Hmm, okay.
Later…
So what did Bridget Jones do today?
She turned into Carrie Bradshaw.
Really? What did you buy? Sandals or shoes?
One of each. And an extra pair as well.
Three? Huh, that bad?
Pointy-toed with kitten heels. In case I ever [...]

My friend met her ex-boyfriend last week. The one she broke up with a year back. And she said,
Six years I spent with the man. And now, I suddenly don’t feel anything at all. In fact I wonder what I ever saw in him. Has that ever happened to you?
I gave her my usual line [...]

I so much wish I was writing a post on how to sustain relationships. But that’s just not something I can claim to be an authority on, can I? So instead, I write on how to break-up.
I read a post on a friend’s blog today which touched a raw nerve. From what I’ve seen, the [...]

Maybe I’ve just been watching too many episodes of Sex and the City but then, I’ve also been pondering on committment-phobias a lot recently.
The last episode I watched ended with Mr.Big (Carrie Bradshaw’s grand love) getting engaged to someone else and Carrie musing:
Maybe I hadn’t broken him in at all. Maybe he hadn’t broken me [...]

Saxy darrrleeeng has tagged me first thing Monday morning to spill my deep, dark secrets. Now this follows a discussion with a certain ‘friend’ who thinks I’m too open and should learn to mask my emotions. My reply was that people who read my blog knew me anyway so what was the point?
Anyway, perhaps you [...]

She: I want to meet your ex-girlfriend.
He: What an odd thought! Why?
She: She’s your past and that’s part of you. Getting to know you includes meeting your past.
It’s to know why you like me. If she’s shy, I’ll [...]

What I want in my Christmas stocking this year…

But its a season to forgive and forget so take it with a pinch of salt and have a good holiday, everyone!

A friend of mine used to say that at his wedding, he’d play this song by Julio Iglesias.
To all the girls I’ve loved before
who’ve travelled in and out of my door
I’m glad they came along
I dedicate this song
to all the girls I’ve loved before
What a excruciating move! Like the final, last blow to think [...]

I met the love that healed me this week. Ours was a relationship that was never defined and yet had oh, so much more depth and emotion than all those by-the-book love/friendship/boyfriend-girlfriend things did. And yet, we’d come close, so close it was like being in love. And then abruptly part, though never with any [...]

Does anyone know what the best ‘ex’ policy is? I admire…no, I am deeply envious of those enlightened souls who are ‘great friends’ with their exes. They’ve obviously got it all figured out just great and I haven’t reached my Bodhi tree as yet. I am struggling, as yet in vain, to define just how [...]

As we shuffled into the room, looking for our seat numbers, I was distracted by an excited voice calling out my name. Across the room was a bright-eyed girl waving. I flashed her grin and gestured that I’d talk to her after the exam. Buddy-girl wore a quizzical frown as she took the seat next [...]

What was I to you
But a strange but friendly, smiling face
And what more were you to me
But someone to smile at?
Maybe each of us was a face the other was looking for
To superimpose on long-cherished, never-realized fantasies
Do phrases like “never forget” and “everlasting love” and “eternal friendship” mean anything?
Does it matter if I call you [...]

There used to be an ad for a shampoo on TV that went “Dandruff is like ex-boyfriends…keeps coming back!”
Of course I’m repeating myself. Yes, this is going to be a raving post. I don’t give a damn. So here’s presenting the must-read manual for ex-boyfriends. (How I wish I could enforce that!)
1. I am not [...]

I’ve written so much about my exes…mournful ramblings, sorrowful poetry and nasty comments in between posts. Now here’s a post dedicated to the people who were once close to me. After all, I keep making snide references to them as an undesirable species but well…some of them were human….almost.
There is family that you are born [...]

I have suffered. But nothing compared to this storyThe next time you hear about a victim of abuse and think of her (or him) as weak, think again. There are things you can understand only when you have experienced them.
I used to think a person who was being victimised deserved it for letting themselves be [...]

‘Kuch kuch hota hai’ was on TV yesterday. One of the early movies that made Karan Johar into a brand name.

I was in college when I saw this movie. Of course I couldn’t say I liked it…it wasn’t cool to admit to liking this sort of popcorn-n-plastic fare! But the truth was that I watched [...]
