evergreen comedy
I seem to be only posting irrelevant things and not as I said my life in the way of sanskrit words but anyways these posts are also about things that I have always loved so... in my warped logic I think I'm justifying them more to myself than anybody else but if you like em enjoy em

Bidding farewell
apagama, vigama, atisarga, aapracchana - farewell
Now that is the most difficult thing for you to do especially considering that you've practically been living with the same people in the same place for 2 years,
we came here to study,
we came here to find jobs,
We did a bit of both but more importantly
we made good friends,
some of found their soul mates,
some found their life partners,
we go with heavy hearts and reluctant legs
GOD what wouldn't I do for just one more month of the fun I had in these past two years
There are freshers here and there are the experienced guys like me, this farewell I feel is more difficult to us the experienced guys who have snatched some time from life to rewind back, so to say, jumped from the other side of the fence and are here. I for one do not want to go back to that world, the world of dreary jobs, work-pay-expenses handling-reporting-appraising-being appraised and all that crap. I've been on the other side of the fence I've waded through my share of muck sometimes more than my fair share of muck in those 2 years of outsourced night job.
I loved a part of it then, I was proud of being independent, but now.... I'm going to face life with a definitely much better job and salary than what I did before, but I do not want that, I just want to rewind life back to July 4th 2005, an Ali Baba's cave was opened to me, I was intrigued and then reluctant to accept this change but thinking back I've had nothing but a great experience overall, GOD has always been benevolent to me despite the hardships he has given me,
HE took away my Father but he left me in the care of an Angel and a little sweet cherub, My Mom and My sister have always been great source of inspiration, love, pride, joy and faith to me. He has given me good friends, wherever I go I've made friends, whom I've come to love and respect- My neighborhood, My School, My College, My Workplace and once again My college. I have a good job now and great friends here,being her sometimes I almost, almost, do not miss home.
But as they say, This too shall come to pass, and so it has, time to move on time to let go of the bygones and look forward to the new, But it is not an easy task to accomplish, life has thrown some pretty wild characters in here and forgotten them for 2 years, we've come to like, hate and love each other, I spend every waking moment with these people, they are my roommates, my classmates, my friends, my well wishers, my antagonists and my loved ones, I sit and joke around with them, have food with them, go to class with them, play, fight, watch movies, go to class and copy in the exams from them. 24/7 we are in the same place, keep bumping into each other, step on each other's toes and give a helping hand to each other.
I have never stayed in a hostel in my entire life except for now, but I've been pampered here by the hostel security, the warden and especially by the mess staff, sometimes far worse than happens at home. Now how do you expect me to leave this place and go, it is almost impossible and the thought if it is choking me, I generally haven't felt misty eyed at farewells or for leaving school or under grad college but here, now!!! I feel choked and heavy about the thought of leaving this place 20 days from now, it is something i do not wish to do.
Farewell
I have got my leave. Bid me farewell, my brothers!
I bow to you all and take my departure.
Here I give back the keys of my door
---and I give up all claims to my house.
I only ask for last kind words from you.
We were neighbors for long,
but I received more than I could give.
Now the day has dawned
and the lamp that lit my dark corner is out.
A summons has come and I am ready for my journey.

Why men fall in love
Yes I know not my usual style of starting with a sanskrit word, but this post was too good to resist, taken from a post in Yahoo! I couldn't resist doing it, too good and definitely a must read for women who need to understand what their men like in them and also an article guys should make their girlfriends read..
When a man falls for a woman, he falls hard. Men love to be in love. While men often get stereotyped as single-minded sex-seekers, the truth is that a man's stomach churns like a slushy machine when he's in those initial stages of the perfect relationship.
When you consider that half of men say that they're currently not with their soul mates, that means a heck of a lot of slushy machines are waiting to be turned on.
What are they waiting for?
What makes a man fall in love?
After you rule out the obvious intangible laws of chemistry, attraction, and being in the right place at the right time that kick-start many a relationship, I think the question really becomes this:
What makes a man fall -- and stay -- in love?
About 60 percent of men deem friendship the most important thing in a relationship (sex comes in at a skimpy 8 percent, according to a national(US) Harris Interactive poll), but let's delve a little deeper. What exactly does that mean, and what kind of woman does a man really want? With full acknowledgment that men's tastes in women are as unpredictable as the plot line of "24," these are some of things that many men value in "the one."
A Woman with a Passion in Something Other Than Him
Yes, it's nice to be doted over. Yes, it's nice to be pampered. Yes, it's nice to be with a woman who showers you with compliments, neck kisses, and all of her attention. But there's a virtual Great Wall of China between a fleeting, flirtatious glance and the kind of attraction that can last a lifetime. Many men say they like a woman who's immersed in something else other than the relationship -- be it her work, or her sport, or whatever her "thing" is. Why? The passion she shows for something else confirms her inherent goodness, her personal drive, her independence. All pluses in the woman we're hoping to spend a few decades with.
A Woman with No Problem with Guy Time
Every relationship has to choreograph the time-together dance. Once a couple elevates from casual to serious, it goes through that period when most waking and sleeping minutes are spent together. But at some point in the dance, one person will call a time out from the music of coupledom, and try to spend more time with his or her friends -- while still being careful not to step on any feet in the process. Even when they're with the most perfect woman, men still crave the occasional space to spend golfing or drinking or doing whatever (64 percent of men are happy to have the time to themselves when their wives or girlfriends have plans). Men love, appreciate, and are thankful for women who respect and endorse (and not complain about) his need to have a few testosterone mixers. Don't worry, March Madness will be over in just a few weeks!
A Woman with a Strut
Her strut in the bar may have been part of his initial attraction. The strut from the bedroom to the bathroom after the first night together may have been pure visual ecstasy. But the strut that happens day in and day out is one of the major attractors for a man. What do I mean by the strut? It's that attitude, that sassiness, that confidence, that charisma, that charm that shows she can be a little bold and little daring. There is a line between a woman being confident and a woman being so aggressive that she turns men away, but the truth is that in certain aspects of relationships, men want women who have the strut. Men want to be with women who challenge them, who push them, and who take the lead some of the times. And that's as true in the bedroom as it is in planning their next weekend getaway.
The danger? While it can be insanely attractive, that strut of confidence can also swing a man 180 degrees -- if she uses it in other places, like to flirt with other guys, to become a relationship dictator, or to pick a fight with his mom in front of the whole family. He'll point that kind of strut right out the door.
A Woman with a Good Taste in Ties
OK!, so we don't really care about the ties per se. But what we care about is a woman's ability to give us a little-and this is a key word-gentle guidance. I know Freudian followers will say that it's a man's need to be mothered, but it's more than that. Every relationship is a give and take, and guys will definitely take women who can warn us when our new soul patch looks stupid, who can guide us to the perfect suit and shirt combo for an upcoming job interview, who can help them make decisions without being harsh or judgmental. Guys like to project that they know what they're doing and that they don't need any help. Women who can help steer us, without aggressively grabbing the wheel, are the most treasured copilots.
All thanx to
