The pickle pot

This is just a short fictional story based on absolutely nothing.

A guy and a girl used to live together, sharing the same flat. Everything was going fine until one day the boys' mother arrived there.

Boy(surprised): Mom!! You here ? You could have called me up.

Mom(smiling): Its ok son. Just wanted to see you so I dropped in. Thought I would surprise you.

Boy : Sure you have(long sigh).

When mom comes to know that his son is sharing the flat with a girl, she gets quite angry but says nothing. Predicting this boy speaks to his mom.

Boy: Mom don't you worry. We are just friends sharing the living place. We are not having any affair. Believe me.

Mom: Its ok son. I am not saying that you both are having any affair. But I am not liking this. You should have not done this. But I trust you.

Mom lives there for a weeks time and then goes back.

A couple of days later boy calls up his mom.

Boy: Hi mom !!

Mom: Hey, How are you ? All fine ?

Boy: I'm good mom(pause). Mom I am not trying to say that you did this intentionally but did by any chance you took the pickle pot from the kitchen with you when you left for home ? That belonged to the girl.

Mom: Son, I believed you when you said that you were just friends with the girl sharing your flat and not having any affair. But had it been that you slept in your own room on your own bed, you would have found the pickle pot right beneath your blanket.

Boy hangs up immediately.

live and die

I want to bury you

deep inside me

and run away

afar from myself

I want to die

and be reborn

so that I am fresh

with a virgin heart

And I will love you

all over again

The (un)usual love stories

They were childhood friends. Knew each other quite well. They used to visit each others' home, meet at parties and celebrations. But those were the childhood days. Hrithiks' father Rakesh Raushan and Suzannes' father Sanjay Khan were good friends. As Hrithik and Suzanne grew older they used to meet less often. Suzanne went to USA for higher studies. She was pursuing course in interior designing. When the originally introvert lady Suzanne returned back to India, she was a confident woman.  At that time Hrithik was a struggling bollywood star. One day Hrithik saw Suzanne on the traffic signal and stood stunned. And all of a sudden the childhood friendship was now changing to attraction. After that Hrithik used to meet Suzanne  quite often at friends' parties. It is quite evident that even Suzanne had a soft corner for Hrithik since old times. The meetings went on. And finally the day arrived when Hrithik expressed his love to Suzanne. With this, also came commitment from both sides. Marriage was easy since both families knew each other since long and hence their relationship was accepted happily.  And this is a small cute story of childhood friendship.

This was truly love at first sight. It was when a boy of 18 was walking on the roads of Delhi saw this beautiful young lady. The heart said - She is made just for you. She is you love. Very strange. Because he knew nothing about that girl. Nothing bout her name, her place, her caste, her religion, her family. Just nothing.  The 14 year girl was Gauri. Now Shahrukh was determined to get that girl. But when he came to knew that the girl was hindu, it was a big shock to him. But Shahrukh didn't quit. It was 1984 when he got into friend circle of Gauri. Finally he managed to meet Gauri at her birthday party as Abhimanyu. The name Abhimanyu because it was his name in the serial 'Fauji' being broadcasted by Doordarshan.  Shahrukh expressed his love to Gauri, but was rejected. But he was not disheartened. He kept trying and day by day became dearer to Gauri. Shahrukh was almost  mad in love with her and too possessive too. This made Gauri so angry that she broke up with Shahrukh and left for her relatives in Mumbai. Mad Shahrukh too, went over to Mumbai and started searching for her. Finally he found her at Mahalakshmi. The meeting was too emotional one. After this they applied for  marriage in court in 1991.  It was a tough job for Shahrukh to convince his parents.  When they came to know that girl was hindu, they got too angry. There was a lot of drama. The matter almost went for a toss and seemed impossible. But finally everyone consented for their marriage.

This is a different story altogether. The boy was a full-fledged punjabi munda and the girl was from a proper tamilian brahmin family. Both met at IIM Ahmedabad. They came closer to each other during their college time. This was a sensible matured love. They both agreed to get married only after they convinced their parents.  But their families were against it. Anushas' father was strictly against this marriage. No marriage with punjabi boy. Similar was the situation in Chetan's family. It was a big trouble for both of them. Chetan, working in bank, got his job transfered to Chennai. He used to visit Anushas' family quite regularly and tried to impress and convince them. Similarly Anusha used to visit Chetan's family in punjab as Chetan's friend. This idea worked. Their families came closer. They almost got ready for the marriage. But on the right moment something went wrong and now the matter was in a big mess.  Chetan and his father were almost not on talking terms with each other.  But Chetans' father could not see his son in pain and melted down. One day he went to Chennai alone to meet Anushas' family and proposed for marriage once again. Probably Anushas' family was also waiting for this only. And all was set. Chetan has mentioned all this in a very interesting manner in his book - Two States.

This love is just another piece from the regular bollywood story. They used to live in neighborhood while their childhood. Grew together. Their father were good friends. And business partners too. The business was ruptured and the good friends now became enemy of each other.  All relations were broken.  Sourav used to visit the famous Loreto Convent school since Dona used to study there.  Even after the enemity between their family they both used to meet each other. At that time, Dona used to study in 12th class. Somehow their family came to know about their meetings. Gangulys' family was strictly against their marriage. But Sourav was also stubborn and determined that he would marry Dona only.  So they decided to first settle their career and then think about getting married. Dona started learning Oddissi dance while Sourav started his career in cricket. Sourav became a hero when he striked century in his first test match at Lords.  Later sometime Dona and Sourav got secretly married in court, with the help of friend Malay Bannerjee. When their family came to know about this marriage they strictly discarded their marriage. But later on both families finally agreed. A year later a grand party was hosted for celebration. And this is how dramatically a full bollywood style love story ended happily.

Truth

I wish I knew how to win you

Rather I chose to embrace truth
Does this means I lose you ?

May be

Maybe.. you should dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be  that you want to be; because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you dream of and want to do.

Maybe.. We are supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so that, when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

Maybe.. It is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives.

Maybe.. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; after all, you can't go on successfully in life until you let go of your past mistake, failures and heartaches.

Maybe.. You should hope for enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough of sorrow to keep you human and enough of hope to keep you happy.

Maybe.. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of the everything; they just make most of everything that comes along their way.

Maybe.. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you ever had.

Maybe.. Happiness waits for all those who cry, all those who hurt,  all those who have searched, all those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of all the people who have touched their life.

Maybe.. You should do something nice for someone every single day, even if it is simply  to leave them alone.

Maybe.. There are moments in life when you miss someone -- parents,  a spouse, a friend, a child -- so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams  and hug them for real, so that once they are around you appreciate them more.

Maybe.. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart, if it doesn't be content that it grew in yours.

"Life is only traveled ONCE; Today’s MOMENT becomes Yesterdays's MEMORY.

Enjoy every moment, good or bad, because the GIFT of LIFE is LIFE itself"

P.S. : This post has been created from the mail I received from a friend of mine. Thanks for such a wonderful mail. It made my day.

And I dedicate this to somebody very special in my life. You are and you'll be always special to me.

Without you around

Breathing in the night air

While staring at the stars

Gazing at them got me thinking of you

And of all the things that we've been through

It made me realize

That I am lucky to have met you

That I am lucky to have known you

I wouldn't have been this close to happiness without you around

That I was lucky just to be with you

Though it feels like it's too good to be true

But I don't believe that you would ever let me down

Cause I can't imagine how things would be

Without you around

P.S. - I am nobody to take credit for this

This one for you

Few simple thoughts to think about

Belief : She'll never be satisfied

Truth : Women always look forward to make things better. Don't take their suggestions as complaints or criticism, but as her desire to make the relationship or the situation, the best it can be.

Belief : A strong, confident woman does not need a man to take care of her

Truth : Everyone loves to be taken care of and to feel needed. Even if a woman can fix things around the house or change the oil in her car, she will still ask you for help so that she can feel your strength, support and protection.  Don't ever stop asking - "What can I do for you ?". Because it shows her that you care for her and will always be there when she needs you.

Belief : Women only want to control men

Truth : Its not about control. Its about love. When a woman sees a man hurting, struggling or overwhelmed, her goal is to help, not control. Let her give you a helping hand.

Belief : Keeping a woman requires a lot of hard work, time and money

Truth : A serious relationship requires time and effort to cultivate it. You should not look at it as a burden. Your wife or girlfriend will reciprocate the effort you put into it.

Belief : You can not lie to a woman.

Truth : Woman are extremely capable of picking up moods and attitudes and can very easily read body language and facial expressions.  Although you may think you have gotten away with a great lie. She is either letting it slide because she wants to keep peace, or she is lying to herself because she is afraid of the truth.

Belief : Jealousy and possessiveness are a part of being woman

Truth : Women are protective of what belongs to them. They protect the things they value, especially when it comes to relationship. Its not that she does not trusts you; she is just guarding the relationship. You are too precious to her for her to allow any bad thing to happen to you.

Belief : Women are emotional

Truth : Women do not hide their feelings. They articulate what is going in their mind. There is nothing wrong with emotions.  We all have them in us. Being in touch with emotions causes women to be sensitive and caring and that why men love them.

P.S. : This one is dedicated to the most complex, complicated, confused, cryptic species I will ever know in my life, THE FEMALE SPECIES. Yes this one is for you. Just for you.

This love....

Its hard to pretend you love someone when you don't.

And its harder to pretend that you don't love someone when you really do.

A million words would not bring you back, I know because I tried.

Neither would a million tears, I know because I cried.

Love is like heaven, but it hurts like hell.

When I see you smile and know that its not for me, that's when I miss you most.

Sometimes you don't realize how much you care for somebody, until they stop caring about you.

While I was holding on, all you did was let go.

Loving you is the best mistake I have ever done.

The times we were happy together are worth the times I cry alone.

You taught me how to love, but not how to stop loving.

Little Johnnys' medical knowledge

One fine day in the Sunday school, the lady teacher asks the pupils what kind of medicines they know and what they are used for.

Amanda  : Tylenol

Teacher : Very good! And what is it used for ?

Amanda  : It is used for headache.

Christine : Nytol.

Teacher   : Excellent. And what it is used for ?

Christine : To help you sleep.'

Now it is little Johnny's turn.

Jonhhy  : Viagra.

Teacher : Johnny, what is it used for ?

Johnny  : I think it can be used for diarrhoea.

Teacher : Who told you this ?

Johnny  : Nobody, but every evening Aunt Susan tells Uncle Sam - "Take a Viagra, maybe that little shit will get harder."

Little Johnny n Mary

Little Mary was not the best student in Sunday School. Usually she slept through the class. One day the teacher called on her while she was napping, ''Tell me, Mary, who created the universe?'' When Mary didn't stir, little Johnny, an altruistic boy seated in the chair behind her, took a pin and jabbed her in the rear. ''G...od Almighty !'' shouted Mary and the teacher said, ''Very good'' and Mary fell back to sleep.

A while later the teacher asked Mary, ''Who is our Lord and Savior?'' But Mary didn't even stir from her slumber. Once again, Johnny came to the rescue and stuck the pin in  her rear again. ''Jesus Christ!'' shouted Mary and the teacher said, ''Very good,'' and Mary fell back to sleep.

Then the teacher asked Mary a third question, ''What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?'' And again, Johnny jabbed her with the pin. This time Mary jumped out of her seat and shouted, ''If you stick that damn thing in me one more time, I'll break it in half!'' 

The Teacher fainted

Addicted to your love

I am addicted to your love

and the moment you stop loving me

I shall cease to exist

makes my heart beat, for you

Game of love

but forgot that - every game has its rules

I lose and I quit the game

Arab terrorists

Mohammad goes to school in France, enters his classroom (first day) :

'What is your name?', asked the teacher.

'Mohammad,' answered the kid.

'Here we are in France, there is no Mohammad, from now on your name will be Jean Francois', replied the teacher.

In the evening, Mohammad returned home.

'The day went well Mohammad?' asked his mother.

'My name is not Mohammad, I am in France and my name is Jean Francois '.

'Ah, are you ashamed with your name?? Are you trying to disown your Parents? Your heritage ? Shame on you!!'. Then she beats him.

She called his father and told him what happened and he beats him too!!

Next day Mohammad returned to school. When the teacher saw him with all the bruises she asked: 'What happened my little Jean Francois???'

'Well Mademoiselle, 6 hours after becoming French I was attacked by two Arab Terrorists...'

P.S. : This post is not meant to hurt anybody in anyway. Please do not take it seriously.

The Indian boy

A Indian boy on his first day at school in USA.

It was the first day of school and a new student name Chandrashekhar Subrahmanyam entered the fourth grade. The teacher said, "Let's begin by
reviewing some American History.

Who said "Give me Liberty, or give me Death"?

She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Chandrashekhar, who had his hand up: "Patrick Henry, 1775" he said. Teacher said - "Very good".

Who said "Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?"
Again, no response except from Chandrashekhar. "Abraham Lincoln, 1863" said Chandrashekhar.

The teacher snapped at the class - "Class, you should be ashamed. Chandrashekhar, who is new to our country, knows more about its history than you do."

She heard a loud whisper: "F**k the Indians"
"Who said that?" teacher demanded.
Chandrashekhar put his hand up - "General Custer, 1862."

At that point, a student in the back said - "I'm gonna puke."
The teacher glares around and asks - "All right! Now, who said that?"
Again, Chandrashekhar says - "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991."

Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? S*ck this!"
Chandrashekhar jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher - "Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!" 

Now with almost a mob hysteria someone said "You little shit. If you say anything else, I'll kill you."
Chandrashekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice, "Gary Condit to Chandra Levy, 2001." 

The teacher fainted. And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, "Oh shit, we're f**ked!"
And Chandrashekhar said quietly, "George Bush, Iraq, 2005."

22. Sometimes even when you think we hate you, we don't, we just want you to apologize so we can be allowed to love you again.

Priceless wife

A man came home from work and found his three children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard.

The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and there was no sign of the dog. Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall. In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing.

In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door.

He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls.

As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went.

He looked at her bewildered and asked, "What happened here today?"

She again smiled and answered, "You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world did I do today?"

"Yes," was his incredulous reply.

She answered, "Well, today I didn't do it."

Wife's are Priceless, isn't it true?

Love you dad....

While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked stone & scratched lines on the side of the car. In anger, the man took the child's hand & hit it many times, not realizing he was using a wrench.

At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures. When the child saw his father with painful eyes he asked - "Dad when will my fingers grow back ?"

Man was so hurt and speechless. He went back to car and kicked it a lot of
times. Devastated by his own actions sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches. His son had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'. The next day that man committed suicide.

Anger and Love have no limits. Choose the later to have a beautiful & lovely life.

Things are to be used and people are to be loved.

But the problem in today's world is that, People are used and things are loved.
