A bookstore is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

P.S I love You....


I`m a great sucker for romantic movies… I love them and u can always bet on me to be the one who cries her eyes out in some of these… well this is one movie in which I have to pause the movie so dat I can first cry my heart out… I dont really understand why this movie has such an impact on me. And it always leaves me a bit sad but also a lot more romantic than I was…
Time and again whenever I have felt low and dejected I have always believed that shit happens but it happens for a reason… it might not be evident at that time but there is always a reason… and this movie always makes my belief stronger… I know the fact that I live in my books and movies makes me a less than credible counselor but still, this belief has helped me survive…
I don’t know what to say about the movie… maybe its love in its truest form… which may or may not exist and I might never find it for real but at least this is love in its real form. This is being there for each other even if death do us part. The guy actually gives a direction and a sense of purpose to the holly’s life. It’s not about ‘us’ when we are together but it’s about ‘u’ and ‘me’ when we are not. How easily we all forget the u and me after becoming an Us.. The movie is all about that… it’s just we all have it in us to live and survive but we need somebody to show us the faith and show us the way…
There are a lot of parts in the movie which makes me emotional but one of them is when holly asks her mother what’s the point… at some point of our lives we all have this question what’s the point… I don’t know, in fact this is that juncture of my life where I’m asking myself the same question… What the hell is the point??? Or are we all going through the motions of life without anything worthwhile coming out of it… I don’t really want to delve on this…
It’s just that this movie touches a raw nerve in me… so many times in our lives we have beautiful relations which we leave just like that… and the death of the relation ruins the meaning and truth of it… this movie gives a fitting end to a beautiful love and an even more beautiful marriage. That’s what I love about it… the importance and the way of saying good bye….

A Touchy Feely GUY!!!!!


Sometimes I have a feeling that men and women are not from different planets… ya I agree there are some fundamental differences, but deep down are they any different at all…???
I have three friends, one having some midlife marital crisis… another so insecure in life, marrying the first girl who met the "criterion"… and third still so hooked up on ex, still afraid to move on… and guess what they are all men… and there I have known women, who have taken life in their stride and moved on to happier times… I wonder how that works, isn’t it the women who are supposed to be falling apart, hung over and insanely emotional… when did the tables turned… and did they turn for better or for worse.
For me surprisingly it’s drastic… every relation in my life has had one thing in common… Absolutely No Commitments… I loved it… in fact now that I think about it… I guess I was more relieved they were like that… probably that was the charm of it… that was the power they had on me… but what now, as the men get more and more in touch with their feelings where does it leave the women… and then even if there were no commitments was I in anyway safe from the hurt… well absolutely no!!!! so is it that women are kidding themselves and men have learned their lesson…
Who knows????
