A Moment

I happened to have a chat with my bro in Australia after a long time. I asked him to upload some of his kid's photos. He doesn't like Picasa Web for some reason known only to him. So he uploaded those to his favorite Orkut. And I had been in hatred against office since then for blocking Orkut. And the non-sense Orkut doesn't allow to save those photos to my local system. Now I have to take screenshots and save them, hmm.. lots of work to do.


The second thing I did after reaching home was you-already-know-what-it-is. Of course the first thing was switching on my laptop. ;)

I haven't seen the boy in person yet since he is too far from me geographically. There were just about 45 photos. But it took me more than an hour to finish watching all those. I realized towards the end that my eye sight is not clear due to the fact that tears that were about to roll out obstructing the vision. It was something I didn't expect from me.

It is in that moment, I decided to write about that. At the least, it was one moment to be captured. It is almost the same as the time I saw his first-ever photos.

I saw his week old photos more than 3 months ago. He has grown(?) a lot cuter and prettier now. I'm loving the way he looks at the camera, smiles, cries and plays. 

Wow! after a very long time, I felt filled with positive energy ! 

Isn't watching a child grow make us feel so good and happy about living?

I still remember the good old days I made fun of Kadhal kottai movie's never-met-before-love or Koperunchozhan's never-met-before-friendship. Only now I realize so well that we dont have to meet to be in love. 

I just wish he is right here with me in my arms.. missing him a lot :-(

But the good news is that he's coming to India soon.. :-)

The Love thing

I never had the time or the inspiration to write a blog until now.

But having been thinking in not-my-usual way in the past weeks, I finally found them.

This is not the first time I've been disturbed by a movie.

People watching me in the last few weeks would easily know the movie I'm referring to. For the others, it is the Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (VTV in short) of Gowtham Menon.

Even though I believe I have changed a lot as a person in terms of interests in food, music, movies,work etc., I realize that the core is the same.


I am still vulnerable to such subtle yet intense emotions. The last time I remember to have been majorly disturbed was by Titanic in 1999 which I watched almost 2 years after it was released. VTV had a similar impact on me even though a decade has gone by. And it has raised several questions to me on how this "love" thing works.

Is it true that a girl likes a boy who chases her?

Does a woman expect that a man should be ready to lose anything to gain her love?

To me, if there is anything that will stop a guy from telling his love to a girl,

it would be his fear of unknown / shame that he will have to face if that girl says a no. Isn't a guy expected to be ready to face that if he has to even attempt gaining a girl's love?

Why is gaining love of a girl so tough? When guys can fall in love so easily, why is it not so easy for the supposedly-more emotional gender? Even in societies where woman are treated equal, the story stays the same.

I guess I will agree with what one of my friends once said,

"Most men are idiots when it comes to love. Most of the women are intelligent in love most of the times". Even though I've heard people also saying "Being mad, stupid and crazy in love significantly enhances the joy of its experience".

Can true love happen at first sight?
VTV says we shouldn't consciously choose someone to love. But I can't find a logic on this true love part. Or is it all about that? Is love similar to god, not supposed to work based on a logic?

I know these are quite a lot of vague questions. And I'm not looking for answers right now. I hope to understand these things later (if I ever fall in love). Even otherwise, its not going to stop me from living my life.. is it?

Yeah, I can hear you saying "why the hell are you talking about it then?" ;-)
