Solitude

I think its time to start thinking about solitude now. It will probably happen anytime soon and I guess it's just how the way things are supposed to be.

Will miss you...

Recommended Watch

I recommended very very very few things and the following is one of them:

Gone Baby Gone starring Case Affleck.


I was very impressed with Casey Affleck's portrayal of his character and Ben Affleck's directing. Do watch it if you get a chance.

Why?

Why do all relationships turn sour? Why is that things that are so rosy in the beginning die out in the later stages? Why is that the hope of things remaining good throughout just remains a hope? Why is so difficult to get out of the relationship when you know that it isn't working anymore? Why cant things change for the better?

You tried...I tried...it still does not make a difference...

You say I'm never there for you...I'm trying to make it different now...I ask for certain things so that we can be in a different place..Why do you think that I'm demanding?

I've given up on believing that true love really exists...There is no such thing as soulmate...There is no companionship...It's all a mirage

Love/Sex..The American and the Indian Way

This actually struck me when I was watching ‘Wedding Crashers’…of all movies, I know…This might get a little confusing..so bear with me…

We always compare the Indian culture to the American culture and always think that the Indian culture is the best and that the American culture does not compare even close to it…We believe that sex before marriage is taboo whereas in the American way of life, it is just normal; something that is going to happen no matter what..An Indian guy most of the time wants a virgin and if she isn’t, then oh damn, all hell breaks loose…I have seen relationships break over this and just fail to understand that what the fk are they even thinking…it is ok for guys to sleep with how many ever they want to but it isn’t for a girl because she has to have her hymen intact when she is married to whoever she marries..of course there are exceptions to what I am saying..but isn’t this hypocrisy? How is it fine for a guy to be able to sleep with anyone before marriage but not really fine for a girl? This may definitely seem strange and weird coming from a guy but it’s the truth isn’t it?...and no, I am NOT gay…

So in that case, American guys are more acceptive of the fact that their gf’s and wives are not virgins and they just don’t care because they know that that’s how things are…They eventually fall in love with the person and give a damn about his/her past sexual experience because of the acceptance that it was going to happen anyways…However, in the Indian way of life why does it sometimes be so hard to accept that he or she would have had a sexual past and that is just part of being in a relationship..

Therefore, isn’t true love about accepting him/her for who she is and whatever be the case? Then in that instance, doesn’t the American culture seem to be better than the Indian culture because of the easier acceptance factor? Can’t we say that American guys are probably truer partner/companions/lovers than Indian guys because they can accept the female and her past as is because it is part of her?

Things are definitely changing now where both, Indian guys and girls are becoming more acceptive of their partner's past but one cannot deny the fact that still most of the Indian guys are not really that acceptive.

I DO NOT INTEND TO STIR UP ANY CONTROVERSIES BASED ON WHAT I WRITE. THIS IS IN NO WAY DEGRADING ANY INDIAN BECAUSE THERE ARE ALWAYS EXCEPTIONS TO EVERYTHING. I AM JUST LOOKING AT THINGS IN A CERTAIN WAY.
