Is love really blind?

"But love is blind and lovers cannot see
The pretty follies that themselves commit;
For if they could, Cupid himself would blush

To see me thus transformed to a boy."

William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, Act II Scene 6
Greatest English dramatist & poet (1564 - 1616)
Based on my opinion of this quote, I agree that love is blind because we cannot see and measure the love from our partner. Love is just only a feeling. As time goes by, the love feeling might slowly vanish into the atmosphere.

Meanings of Hand Gestures

“ Words represent your intellect. Sound, gesture and movement represent your feelings.”
-Patricia Fripp-

Hand gestures are used by all the cultures to express, both negatively and positively which is a particular feeling or w
ord. Even though every culture has its own gestures, but it the meaning is not the same universally.


That's enough! You've been warned:
It is used to admonish or warn a single individual. If translated into language it would say. "Stop whatever you are doing and pay attention to me. I am your superior and I am warning you!" Classed as a "silent" parent to child gesture, it is completely unacceptable in a professional environment where it will be interpreted as both rude and domineering. Some psychologists believe that it is a metaphor for the cane / whip.



Come On - I'm Running Out of Time:
It is a sign of impatience or irritation. When this action is done subconsciously it indicates that the person doing it feels that it is "time" for the communication to end. Where it is done consciously it is a subtle signal that the communication needs to move on or end. This gesture is rarely missed by people for whom it is intended. Those from the Middle East will perceive this as extremely rude because their culture believe that once a communication has started it must "take its time".


You!
Pointing at people in the West country is considered rude. It falls into the same category as "don't stare". The use of this hand gesture implies that a dominant- to-subordinate relationship is taking place. It is a brave or desperate employee that points their finger at a superior in this manner. Translated into language would state: "You! I'm not happy. You'd better pay very close attention because this is very personal to you." Each of us don't like to be pointed at. This gesture singles people out from the safe huddle of the crowd.

When I cry you help me out
When I'm happy you hear me shout
When I grin you know I'm really mad
because you are my best friend
You can tell when I'm sad

You're there in thick and thin
You're my best friend
You hear me out when I want to talk
You help me out when I get mad
You are the bestest friend I've ever had

So hear me out when I say
You're the light in my day
You are the moon in my night
You shine very bright
You are the best friend I have
and I miss you,KIKI

Life is too short,
Don't waste a minute.
Enjoy each minute
And everyone in it

Tommorow will come
It could be your last
Make the most of today
Life passes too fast

a poem by, Shreeren Naadiya, past away in 2006 after suffering from brain tumor for 3 years..
Jabin sis love u so much....

All about LOVE.

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace"
Jimi Hendrix

A quote said by one of the world's best guitarist and is something I try to live by daily. Nowadays, everyone's getting more caught up in obtaining worldly possessions than things that matter more, such as love and affection. How are conflicts between people suppose to be countered if all we want is to be more powerful than the other? I quote my lecturer saying that the best things in life are free. Well indeed they are, but we choose to argue with others over money, power, etc when what should be the foundation of our relationship is LOVE.
So spread the love around:)

when north meets south

9th March 1985 is the day my parents, tied the knot and broke the rules that most of the indian wouldn't dare to break ( those days!) . its the day my mom proofed that she is unconditionally,deeply in love with dad. A month after marriage, the war ended. both my grandparents blessed their children and decided to do family gatherings. it's not my grammar mistake..there is a 's' for gathering. To be fair. There was two gathering. One at the north india, at my mom's home town and another at my dad's in south. The first gathering was held in Surat, Gujerat and the second was in tanjore,tamilnadu. Though the two family has become together, but there was problem in communication. my mom's parents speak Hindi and Guju, whereas, my dad's parents speak tamil. the solution for the problem was, a translater. My mom became translater for my dad's grandparents, whereas, my dad became translater for my mom's grandparents. Last year, at the 24th family gathering, my mom's mom, speak excellent tamil just like my late grandfather. My dad's parents speak guju and hindi just like north indians. maybe, this is the incident that made me love languages so much!

is it real?

Growing up in a quite conservative family, i've witnessed and experienced some unbelievelable, supernatural activities. i have even witnessed an exorcism once! It was my mom's friend. eventhough i have seen so many things happening around me, i am still not convinced that those things actually exist. it could be just their imaginations or just a way to get people's attention. but i have always curious about one thing, can we communicate with dead people? i have read an article about, a ten year old boy talking and acting like his late great grandmother. Strangely, the boy's g.grandmother was dead before his mother was born! if these things really exist i wish i could be one of the lucky one to experience it! =D
