Well the past week has been a great one in the history of Indian sports and specially Cricket. The demigod of Cricket aka Sachin Tendulkar has left no stone unturned while playing the game and writing his name in the history books.
For those of you who aren't aware, he scored 200 runs in an ODI which always seemed to lure him and everyone else and critics and his fellow colleagues says that no one would have deserved it more.
Some points to note which may not go to the history books: -
1) Most Facebook status messages that day and for days to come belonged to Sachin and pronounced him GOD. Some of those didn't agree to it and feel that he is over-hyped, playing for himself and there is not much in a sport to declare someone god.
2) The servers of the site cricinfo.com was crashed due to the hits they received that day for the record Sachin made and they interesting honor him with the records saying... Only you can do this and really, only he could have done it!!
The critics poured in and rather than honoring his achievements they said that he doesn't deserve to be called a god or demigod, he is doing it for himself, many people are choosing cricket and wasting their careers.
Well to me it seemed like what he has done only god can do!!! A man who holds almost every record which is there in ODI's and yet after playing for 20 years he has never given up. He still looks that young like he was 20 years ago and he is just improving on himself all the time. Who else has done it consistently for 20 years??? Any single player who do it would be given the status of god!!
Well the point is that its just not Cricket and thats why he is given that staus. I guess every sports fan does this to anyone who succeeds in sports. Isn't Roger Federer called the god of tennis? or Ayrton Sena holds the same status in F1 or Madonna or Pele in football?
There are many who have done wonders in the respective sports they played and they didn't just play it for themselves. They did it for their country, their people and its a tremendous achievement which should be celebrated and every fan has the right for call them god or even above god if they want to.
Someone said that there are many people who give up their carriers or waste themselves playing galli(street) cricket as they want to aspire to play in the national team and become like Sachin. Well whats wrong in that?
Firstly, everyone cant be successful otherwise we would have no measures of success.
Second, everyone has one idol, dont we? We all want to do really good or want to be successful in whatever profession we are. But are we all successful if you look at that measure of success? Are we all at the pinnacle of our profession? No!!! But those people have and thats the reason they are admired, prayed, idolized and lived as...
We shall also stop comparing achievements in a ladder, for a man an achievement could be scoring a single goal in a college football match, or for that matter feeding his family of four, or may be bringing smiles to some children across the streets by offering them some ice-cream to eat. An achievement is for an individual and when that achievement is so big, it needs to be hyped coz everyone cant achieve the same and they shall be idolized for others to look forward to.
A single man who brings joy to 100 billion people in a country of 130 bn people with his masterstroke is no one else but GOD because I see no other occasion when we all come together and smile for a single cause, cheer for a single cause and enjoy for a single cause!!!
As I said before... Everyone's world is limited and so is god nowadays and so is such joy!! so stop criticizing, be a part of it if you want or ignore if thats the best you can do!!!
Lets stop honoring those achievements whether its in any sports and understand that playing the sports takes more from your body. Its a short term profession where you cant last forever and body is going to give up someday or other. Whatever heights they achieve during those years, they shall be well deservingly applauded for the same.
P.S. As I was writing this post, The Hockey World Cup 2010 has begun and India have beaten their arch rival Pakistan with a scoreline of 4-1 comfortably.
P.S. I am not trying to hurt anyone's belief of god so If you feel that then I apologize in advance.

Dont know the title again...
It really helps a lot. Since I have begin writing here again, it really helps a lot. To keep out the anger or control my emotions, it helps.
Life hasn't been so complicated lately. But for past couple of days it seems a lot has been changed. My thought process and my idea of putting it across.
Firstly, the same dream is getting repeated, oh gawd... i dont want those signals at all...
and also the fact that i get weird dreams at weird times and then i remember them all day long. No wayssssssssssssssssssssss
We all want to be loved... isnt! :)
Ok changing the topic ... :P
I used to hate when people used to call Indians in America as "DESI", and now... I think they call them rightly!!!
Just to tell an instance, a girl with us today took all the clothes she bought last week to the store, because somebody told her that there is a 15 days price match, so if the price is less then she will get the difference.... gosh no, plese dont dont do this everyday! :P
and its not that it costed even 20 bucks to her...
Shucks... its true!
There is always time taken in adapting, but with that there is mentality... but sometimes i find some ppl are short of that mentality. PERIOD!

Dream & Reality
Today Morning I woke up with a dream... A dream that am married and its early morning, my wife is sleeping and I am making a cuppa tea for her and she is very happy when she wakes up. I wasnt scared with making tea for her or because she is happy, but for the sheer dream! :D
I guess this is too much of working. I was working till 2am in morning and then woke up at 6.45 and 1st thing... no prizes for guessing, checking office mails! :P
To surprise myself, my today morning ginger-black pepper tea is without sugar, cutting calories! :P
Then read the news that only Maharashtra domicile would be driving taxi in Mumbai... Why?
If this is the case then I would never be working here in US, neither am a citizen, nor a domicile. I have never understood the fact that why do we try to define boundaries to the world? Just because we live in certain area, do we own it? It is totally politically motivated, to get more votes from the poor people of Maharashtra. Now the black rates for getting a domicile would go up, all the things would still remain the same!
Someone rightly said... As we are growing, our hearts are shrinking.
Lets pray for the people of Haiti those who have died, lost their homes or dear ones in the massive quake earlier this year. My heart also goes for the poor people who are suffering in Hyderabad because of demand for a new state, or in Pakistan who are dying because of bomb blasts or in Iraq. Too much of pain is there in this world. I try my best to bring the smile back on their faces. Request you too to donate for poor people of Haiti if possible. Lets do what we can... and atleast not say but make this world a better place to live. Amen!
P.S. The tea doesnt taste as bad as i thought it would be! :D

Am I Back? :D
Well Frankly, When I wrote the last post I wasnt sure if any of you gonna read it, but some of you did. So thanks to Ria, Lena, Ella and Suruchi for visiting. I am still in midst of fighting with myself to do this. I may have checked your blogs but may have not left any comments, so forgive me for that. I am soon gonna be a reader too again!
Lately I did a lot of soul searching, a lot of looking into where I am going, what I am doing, and why I am doing... and frankly didnt like the answers a lot! :D
I pursue something which cant be aimed. Something which has an obvious NO for an answer and yet... i do!!!
but then may be am dumb! :P
Just will post an old one of my sher...
रूह की गहराई मे तुम झांक कर मे देखो,
किसी कोने मे क्या दर्द दबा रखा है,
लफ्जों मे क्या बयां करे जालिम,
हमने तो हर ज़ख्म हरा रखा है
Cheers!!

In the Search of Infinity...
Empty mind is a wanderer. The most notorious kid and the most brilliant minds can't think of what an empty mind can. Sometimes it just lets one weave a nice web of dreams and sometimes it just shatters everything... even what seems real!!!
Mind takes wherever nothing can, to the skies, to the oceans, even to the heart and dreams of yours. It all seems so real when one is travelling. It all seems to be nice, but one realizes the reality when ones back.
Empty mind has no limits, no inhibitations. It goes away with someone and comes back with something. It lives a life of its own... free like a bird!!!
It has nothing to fear of, nothing to worry about... what it knows is whats gonna come... just when and how?
It has no limit... imagination begins from where it ends in real life... and thats where the search of Infinity begins!!!
A life of dreams, and a dream from thousands... its all here... Search from the infinity and make it yours!!!
Cheers!!!
P.S. Was thinking of what to write for long... thought of another hindi poem, but then something like this... which even makes me think...

Is It what we want?
Why does it happens that when we want something badly, and when we have it... We dont like it that much!!
Is this what we want or are we searching for something which doesnt exist???

Why Love?
Why do we love?
Isn't it a difficult one to answer... lol!!
May be we love coz we need love, or may be love coz we have a heart, or may be love coz we like someone, or may be love coz we feel we are compatible, or may be we love coz we want someone to love us...
Reasons may be many, but one thing i can say is that we all want to be loved... or should i say most, coz some may take offence!! :D
Some of us love irrespective of what they get in return... or shall they expect returns? yes i guess everyone does, saying that we dont want to be loved back is ideal... i think even god wants to be loved!! ;)
I dream too much... and moreover i dream too much about love. I just want to settle down on a lakeside in a small house may be with my love... where i can just admire her beauty in a perfect natural setting!! :D
ya ya.. i dream too much!! :P
I still miss those miss calls on my cell, some msgs which change the whole day or may be someone smiling on the phone and saying few words to u which make ur day...
Sometimes i feel even i want to be loved, is that wrong :P ... read a post today on some blog which made me realize that what I am missing... and today after ages i remembered my Ex... may be those were good days... atleast i were loved!! :D
P.S. Dont comment if you cant say something very very good!! :P

My Dear Life...
Dear Life,
I know you told me how much you wanna tell people all that you dont like in them, or what they do which is not liked by you...
I know how much you care about them so that you dont leave them, as well as you have the fear of them losing you...
And for the sheer love, you stick with them, not telling them what you dont like, or what you would like to change in them!!!
I know I have done things which are not liked by you. I know I have hurt you but you stuck with me during thick and thin!! I know saying these things wont change anything, but my dear life, I love you too... I am trying to change, change for the sheer fact that I wanna live with my life and I believe one day will come when you will also like me the way i do you!!!
God is kind and cruel in its own ways... It gives the best of life to those who may not care about it, or may not want it, and even life loves them, but those who think that life is of utmost importance to them, god deprives them getting the best of life!!
I know i have you, in some way or other, may be you dont want the way I do, yet you want to stick with me... you care about me and I know god has been kind enough to me for atleast having you for so long!!
I love you my dear life, and i wanna live with you forever!! Even if the eternity passed by, I want people to rememeber that me lived a life. Me lived a life, where not only my life made me happy, but I made my life much more happier...
You say, that life doesnt stick, If one goes, there come another, If this would have been so easier then no one would have cared enough for life. I will stick with you atleast till the time god asks me to give up, and thats where the death comes!!
I value you, not because you have a form, but for the fact that what you are, how much happiness you spread around, how much smiles you bring to the faces of people around and how much of what you are... LIFE!!
You may be golden, brown, black or pink, but you are a sunshine to me, the inspiration to live and to do things!! For me you have all the colors which makes me see a rainbow every now and then..
May be i fight with you by driving rash when things dont go alright, but then in the end i know and you know how much we care for each other!! In the end I know that atleast that little bit you love me is there...
My dear life, I never want you to give up on me, I would die if you will... I can spend my life in summer with the heat beating when you are around or in winters when the ice freezes me and you may keep me warm...
If I love anything more than myself, its you my life... I value you, respect you and I live because of you and for you!! :)
Love, hugs and kisses
yours and only yours...

Holding Back...
Can we love two people at the same time?
I always try to answer this, and the answer i find is yes we can... may be we cant commit to two, but we sure can love too, thats what i think at least and i may be completely wrong!!
What is Love? Its a feeling, a feeling which comes to us automatically, we dont force ourselves to feel that way, so how can we stop doing it when we love one???
Or is there any chemical reaction which i havent heard about which says that if u love one, you cant love one more... May be I am not talking about love as a child, friend, father, mother or such things, but am talking about the romantic love... yea.. Romance!!!
But Is love about romance all the time? Cant you love and yet you dont want to romance? May be possible, the only thing is that you have to accept it for yourself. But we cant blame anyone. I am not saying that he/she shall do it. I am not saying that principally one should accept it... Its about individual, some may accept it some will not!!!
When we say love is pure, why do we say that people who may love two people will make it impure? Does love actually use mind? Or are the feelings controlled from mind... May be in this world where we control everything using our mind, but is Love the same then?
I may sound out of my mind to many, but yet I am talking about a practical scenario where a person may love someone who is already loving someone else. But can this person love both?
Would you call it two timing? Am not talking about changing commitment, but even if he/she doesnt express it then also those feelings are there? Or is expression a crime?
I dont know may be love is something which in itself is not answerable, and one sided is the worst love which can happen coz then u r pitied at times. May be we should love only when we know that this would be answered with yes. :P
May be its like a interview you only appear if you are sure you will be selected.
Love is a mystery truly which has only entangled me. Love is something which I have never been able to understood. When to love, why to love and whom to love... If you have these answers then share ;)
But i think only then love would be impure, coz then u wud control it... ;)
And those who love, dream and those who dream love... There is no safer side in life, there is only a side you take thinking safe but you dont know what will happen eventually.
On a brighter note, I always want to remain a child, looking for answers... not giving those!!
May be i always want to be a child coz then I dont have to think what will happen eventually, may be i will just live a life and leave rest on time... but even when a child demands for chocolate, he cries thinking that he will get it!! :D
And I dont wanna give up on my dreams... may be i say giving up is easy, but comparing to sticking to ur dreams... coz those who dream believe in it!!
And may be those who give up their dreams, look at me... thinking that this ass can dream then we may too! :P
Live life, question wisdom.. and remain a child... may be u will still smile at the end of the day!!
And as they say... You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back!!!

The Politics of Sports
Elections are here... and how do you know??
When you watch the news and see the accusations just increased by parties...
When you look around and find out the posters of various parties...
When you see any Neta(politician) visiting your area...
But this is not about elections, we will deal with it later...
Its about the politics over sports... A country of 1 billion and how many medals do we produce? I guess 3-5 every Olympics (i know its exaggeration), and still no one listens to it ( the cry of sportsmen). One Vijander Singh wins a bronze and he stops playing sport and get more active in Modeling and Body Show business. Well, not his blame, but he knows that if he wants a good future, this is the only way to do it in the country which only plays to the administrators and not the sportsmen.
A Mr Gill named person runs the IHF and another someone Mr Politician runs IOA (Olympic association) and when one smart minded Mr Modi runs a show in cricket, everyone calls him a politician... IRONY, isnt!!
A country where I cant find a good swimming pool in my area, leave the sports complex apart, how are we supposed to produce talent, by asking them to swim in the dirtiest of the rivers around? and may be then die with some allergy or may be what i dont know...
A sports person earns what, less than me i must say... but the glory he brings to the nation is unimaginable and also a big contribution to the society. In the end he gets a beating if he performs bad in one game being axed from squad and the man who runs the show (poor poor show) as administrator for years... he is awarded with some Ratna for his outstanding commitment... commitment to what? himself? the money he sees there? the power he has? or his age as he knows he isnt good enough to do anything else???
And then comes... Sports vs Elections... obviously Elections are there to take place... whos saying NO to it???
But the question is because of one bad incident in Pakistan, Are we gonna be so afraid and keep thinking that this may happen here too??
Then do we think the same about Mumbai 26/11 or the train blasts? Do we stop traveling or staying in a hotel just coz such has happened?
And then they say... It may hurt the whole prospect of India arranging Commonwealth... oh ya? Do you have the infrastructure... do u have the grounds? What do you have I should ask... You build the hostel for athletes on the banks of Yamuna which is risky and prone to earthquake... you could have atleast stopped that as it was in your hands... Isnt?
Now the IPL has moved out of the country because our country's politicians cant provide adequate security to both... What do you want to say, we arent able enough... being the 3rd largest force in the world, we arent able enough??
Cant be do some management here to show to the world that everyone is safe here... I believe it... so when will you start believing it Mr Politician??
When will you free sports from politics????
When you watch the news and see the accusations just increased by parties...
When you look around and find out the posters of various parties...
When you see any Neta(politician) visiting your area...

In the end he gets a beating if he performs bad in one game being axed from squad and the man who runs the show (poor poor show) as administrator for years... he is awarded with some Ratna for his outstanding commitment... commitment to what? himself? the money he sees there? the power he has? or his age as he knows he isnt good enough to do anything else???
And then comes... Sports vs Elections... obviously Elections are there to take place... whos saying NO to it???
But the question is because of one bad incident in Pakistan, Are we gonna be so afraid and keep thinking that this may happen here too??
Then do we think the same about Mumbai 26/11 or the train blasts? Do we stop traveling or staying in a hotel just coz such has happened?
And then they say... It may hurt the whole prospect of India arranging Commonwealth... oh ya? Do you have the infrastructure... do u have the grounds? What do you have I should ask... You build the hostel for athletes on the banks of Yamuna which is risky and prone to earthquake... you could have atleast stopped that as it was in your hands... Isnt?
Now the IPL has moved out of the country because our country's politicians cant provide adequate security to both... What do you want to say, we arent able enough... being the 3rd largest force in the world, we arent able enough??
Cant be do some management here to show to the world that everyone is safe here... I believe it... so when will you start believing it Mr Politician??
When will you free sports from politics????

Sociality Again...
Aha... its nice to be back here!! :D
I know many of you must be cursing me for not reading your blogs, but i do read them, just that i don't drop my comments that often now days... :)
Lets begin with the terror which rocked us on 26th Nov'2008. As I said, most people have forgotten it and they are living their lives. It has become normal, and we call it the "spirit of life" which as per me sucks... But proven again, we all have short term memories!!
Issues change and then comes the issue of morality... moral policing and believe me, i wanted to laugh more than worry. I don't laugh because the girls were beaten up in Mangalore, certainly not, but on the act of moral policing. I only hate to be Indian at such occasions. These people don't have any right to prove whats right and whats wrong, and yet they commit the wrong with so much of rightfulness that nobody actually says anything to them.
The act of cruelty in the name of morality... and whom do they beat? Some girls... If they are so brave then they should go to Olympics and beat some girls out there, I guess at least there they will win some medals if not anything else!!!
Or may be they should try their hands with the BHAI's in Mumbai/Karachi/Dubai and then they will come to know how much balls they have...
And yesterday read one more incident, a girl was caught with her friends brother while traveling. The girl wasn't beaten up this time because she was a MLA's daughter, but the boy who was supposedly of other community (Muslim) was beaten. Its crime to be a human if you belong to the other religion and hatred will certainly save this world as it will end this world soon and then we will again live in the stone age... at least thats the satisfactory part here...
I don't know how long such things are going to happen? I don't know when we will realize we are living in a free country which is free of religion and speech too. I don't know when we will realize that to rule is not everything but to live in a happily ruled is something. I don't know when we will realize that such small things matter too... This is not a world where we can live with one religion, one principal, one moral value, one thought... even in a house 10 people are bound to think differently... how long we will keep pressing them!!!
I only have such questions and no answers to these questions... but i hope someday i have the answers too...
Today I was reading that there is one guy from IIM-A(99 batch) in politics and he is the only IIMite. Luckily that shows me more prospects now to become a politician!! Not to be like one out there, but to be like someone as me... what i think, and i hope and count on that i remain what I am even after joining politics... Amen!!

The Politics of Terror and We!!!
I wanted to write for long on this topic. Finally after watching the proceedings, I am writing what I felt.
Also just to remind you, there may be a long post ahead as the feelings are...
26 Nov, the day when terror strikes Mumbai, the horror show is on for more than 60 hours, and it takes the life of more than 200 people including the life of those 10 people who were acting as terrorists.
Suddenly, what you see is that the terror has come to your bedroom, living room, and nobody is safe. Life doesn’t care any longer about class, society or status. The whole India becomes evident of the scariest moment of their lives. Tourism takes a blow and so do sports but the most hurt part is the humane nature of mankind.
This isn’t the first of its kinds, and nor that the signals weren’t on for long, but a delayed attacked proved too costly for many. The bread can’t be earned and butter, forget about it.
The most interesting which lately becomes evident is, that people wake up from their sleep, not most yet many. I have seen people not taking interest in politics and now what they talk about is that how this can be politically handled?
I have also seen those people saying, Politics is not our cup of tea, and suddenly they wake up as now the attack has been made on them. I remember writing in one of my posts that people are insensitive about such issues unless they face it. I clearly see that happening now. People are marching on India Gate. People are forming a human chain. People are doing this; people are doing that… good for the nation that atleast even if we aren’t proactive atleast we are responsive, our emotions aren’t dead, and we all have a fear which comes out eventually.
I am happy to see that people are really participating in the events which are taking place everywhere. People are even taking initiative which in a way can help the nation to rebuild and re-strengthen. I am only worried about how long this is going to last!!!
I have seen in the past that people react in this way every time something goes wrong, but that’s only in the wake up of what had happened.
You may find me pessimistic, but believe me, past only suggests that such enthusiasm lasts for some time and not forever. However we need to keep this ever lasting. We don’t need to be retroactive every time but proactive so that our or any nation doesn’t become a part of this anymore.
I hope people who were earlier saying, we don’t believe in politics; understand that our nation’s base is democracy. It’s a state of politics, where people, who are chosen by us, for us, rule the nation. We are equally responsible for every action of theirs. We can’t move ahead saying they are corrupt, but atleast we can do our bit so that corruption doesn’t takes place. It’s not they who ask for money, but it’s us who give them the money and make them corrupt. As we always say that we have connection, and we act just like that.
It’s easy to blame politics, but we never blame ourselves, how many of us are ready to move to politics, if not now but later? You know its like earning disrespect, but isn’t it true that one has to make his hands dirty to clean the surface.
We all believe in love, yet not hate. We disown people who hate, and it’s very easy to do, but hatred is somewhere been brought up by the actions of some among us. We always have an opinion about everything, like how we blame Pakistan for the wrong doings of Mumbai. But isn’t it the case that people from our nation are equally responsible for the same. We always gave terrorism a face, a face in the name of religion. Why so? Why can’t we just act like when we say that terror has no face?
The rallies, the marches, how long this all is going to last is my worry. Very soon, we all would be living our lives. It will hardly take another month to forget what has happened in Mumbai, if not a month then may be a year, but eventually we are going to forget about it. Another attack somewhere and we all would again be woken and shocked by the reality. It always hurts the most when it’s us, and we just keep praying that hope its not us, but how long is the question.
Also, we all talk about having a war with Pakistan, Is it really easy? When we are so much scared by killing of some 200 people, war takes life of thousands and millions. May be it acts as a corrective measure but it doesn’t bring any final solutions to the table. The final solution lies in our hands, to spread love, to make this nation less corrupted. Saying that illiterates only become politicians is easy, but where are literates to fight for votes?

Salty Water...
water comes down
still from the eye
thinking or wandering
of all that "high"
the love the pain
it still remains
walking slowly
down that lane
looking at the moon
which bright the sky
oh lord i wonder
when shall I
the darkness in heart
breath thats still apart
in the cage that lights
it holds the life
its full moon's night
which makes me remind
the girl i loved
and when it rhymed
its all not end
but i still rewind
to play it again
with script all mine
the happy notes
camera and light
singing and cheering
chorus and chimes...

Just Thoughts...
Okie... I think I should make you feel good first so that you guys read it all!!
So, I admit to all those who used to think, this guy is mad,then I accept, I AM!! :D :P
I really dont know what I want from life, One day I think of something, and the other day I think of something else!! No fixed goals, no short term set targets, just dream big but no plans to achieve them!! :D
I think i want to be aloof, alone and then sometimes i think i badly need someone. I need to be taken care off, coz i hate to pretend that I am a very strong person!!
And then I again think, No, this is the way i should be... Lonely!!!
I think of giving up on sweets and carbs one day, and the next day I think, just once more...
Think of start running in the morning and then it starts rain in the mornings... even i think god is also not with me!! lolzzz
Sometimes, i think i should reduce my weight, and then I think, so what, if people like the exterior more then let it be. Y should i change for others... and then i think, no i should!! :P
I think of giving up the time i spend online, then i think i cant live without it, which is quite true, I am addicted!!
I think of not living with friends, but then I find it most difficult not having them. Then i make the mistake of too early calling someone friend and then it hits right on the head, for making the mistake of calling them one!! !
There are too many things for which i repent, but the most I do was to be loved and to love!! But that is for myself!!
Still someday i feel like i should fall in love, and someday...
Still... Life goes on... killing everyday slightly!! ;)
Disclaimer: All above written is totally inspired from a movie!! lolzzz

FRIENDS
Its raining here in Pune, for past 3 days. The weather is awesomely romantic, and I want to be out there, in the mountains, camp firing, rain dancing!! :D
But I think of a question too...
Dont know, but i think, most of the times, when a male approach some girl, its always seen as flirting!!! If a male try to talk to them, it seems that he wants to take her out on a date! If a male asks her out, it nothing but a date! If a male ask for the mobile no, oh, he will send them all creepy msgs!
Which city, email, blah blah blah... the male one just want to exploit, he is not real, he is weird, he will misuse!!!
But if the same happens from female side, then males arent allowed to say No! If they ask for cell no, then males cant say No!
Males should tell everything, because they are the worst of it kinds, if they dont, then they are fake!!
If a male is not telling, he is bhav khaooing (showing attitude), but females, they just do it for their safety!!!
And if it is asked to some female, its her choice, when to tell and even to tell or not!!!
I dont know why we males are treated like this, Cant we be genuine, do you think all male are hungry for sex, and that too everytime!!!
I as a male understand that yes, their are bad ppl, who can exploit, but then why is it everyone who is blamed? And the same goes for females too then!!
C'mon, We are real, emotional, and we can be friends too... Some bad experience of yours cant blame the whole gender!! :)
If we think of(just think of) some female to be a friend, its just labelled to be Love, too soon!!! There is a lot of difference between liking and loving, just like boy friend and lover!!
And ya, may be i m generalising, coz it happens most of the times, if not always!! :D
and i m certainly not a hunk, or Cutie pie... :P
hehe
God, how horrible it becomes!! :P
Male bhais, plzzz dont take the liberty, ask them... what they want, after all we are the inferior ones!! lolzzz
To all my female friends, this was a general thought which came to my mind, not that i have experienced it today and i am ranting out here!! lolzz
I know it sounds like some hindi movie dialog, But...
Cant We be just friends?
Besharm hoon, kya karoon!! :D ;)
But I think of a question too...
Why cant we just be friend with girls?

Saza~~~ Punishment!!!
दिल के किसी कोने मे जगह खाली है
हमे बस उसमे तुम पनाह दे दो
