Education and Dowry, do they go hand in hand?????

I was just talkin to a friend of mine about the executive program we studied together at IIM-K and she happened to mention that she was contemplatin about rejoinin the program to complete her MBA and I was just askin her if it was gonna be worth the money and time we spend. Coz the biggest learnin I've had is that even though we have a tag of IIM and we slog it out, I've realized that, since itz an executive program you need to sell the program to your potential employer simply coz in India they are yet to accept the fact that you could do progress academically through exec programs.

Anyways, I was just tellin her, that we had one of our batch mates who kinda was pretty smart I should say the least, coz when we realized that end of it we still need to sell the course to the potential employer, our man comes up with the idea that, he did this course coz he realized if he invested in the course even if he doesn't manage to get a break through with corporates for a better job, he would hard sell the same in the marriage market and demand ten times the course fee as DOWRY!!!!!!!! wow now even your stock markets can't get you those returns. ;-)

Well, surprisingly this is not the first incident that I've come across. I've seen there are certain sections in the society, where the guys folks pay extravagant donation runnin into millions (INR) just to get an admission for an engineering or medicine and then the guys manage to just scrape through the course and manage to get a pass and BINGO next thing you would know is that he would be gettin hitched and guess what???????? He would be gettin married off to some really well of female and his dowry would be in MILLIONS ( this time in $) and hey no one has a problem. Itz the norm accepted by the so called SOCIETY!!!!!! After all who wouldn't want a return on their INVESTMENT?????

But, this investment comes with a lot of cost, there are so many deserving students who miss out on their chance of education, thanks to few greedy folks but yeah an economist would tell me look at the brighter side, money is bein released into the system!!!! Guess thatz true too :-)

I suppose this is one of the ugly sides of DOWRY system which is prevalent in India but I see off late there has been less cases of dowry, which is encouragin and wishin that one day India would actually criminalize in the full spirit the concept of DOWRY.

Well the video was intended by the Singapore Government to encourage to have more kids, but I guess after seein the video I felt itz got more to it and I think itz a great video which reminds again all over sayin, no one is perfect and we need to accept that live LIFE Beautifully :-)

BLAST from the PAST!!!!!!!

The weekend, though would have been a routine weddin that I have been attendin for god knows how long now, had throw a wonderful surprise. Though I was expected to attend the weddin, jam up with my good friends in Calicut and then visit one of my good friend's family, meetin up with my ex-colleagues from Titan and meetin up with the present set of team was a nice surprise.

In the mornin, when one of them checked with me if I was comin for the weddin, I knew it would be great to catch up with my ex- colleague, but then towards the evenin the picture got brighter and I knew I was meetin my ex-colleagues and also my ex boss along with the present team for which I hadn't warranted. But it was indeed great to catch up with them after good 3 years and I see that none of us have changed much except for our designations with respect to our organizations, everything else was the same. The joy of meetin up, sharin market views, how we addressed our issues at work and what fun it was workin for the organization.

Definitely, the meet also threw up some interestin topics with respect to how we should be handlin our partner channel and there were ideological clashes, which were welcome, simply coz I strongly believe that we all have our own way of workin towards a solution in different ways and thatz what makes us interestin. I as a person always believed that havin a personal rapport would help build business and that always was my way of doin things, but then I was questioned as to how can we get things done. I was more than glad to clear my perspective to my predecessor and how I've been able to do things the way I believed in.

BOTTOM LINE: We all have our own way of gettin things done, definitely it would work for one but wouldn't work for another. I know I've set a precedence which my predecessor might not have expected but sure you would appreciate that even after 3 years when I meet my associates, they relate to me as a person or individual and not as a person from the company and I suppose thatz the way I like it. Remember the sayin, love your job but never your company ;-)

Presence or Presents?????????

This is something which I've always argued about and still strongly believe that my presence is more important than carryin presents for any occasion. Time and again I'm tryin convincin my folks and friends about my belief, but alas have had little success, guess itz a very different school of thoughts and it runs parallel and I never see it mergin anywhere in the near future.

I've always believed and continue to believe that my presence is more important than presents, be a weddin, birthday, anniversary or any other occasion that you can think of. But I'm always counter argued sayin how can you go empty handed???? But hell am I not makin my presence felt??? What more would anyone else expect??? Well there is a different school of thought sayin that itz an easy way of chickenin out with respect to buyin some presents, but hey think about it, wherever or whenever the occasion arises, I make it a point to be present irrespective of the distance. Now that takes some effort.

This belief alone had taken me to 22 weddings in Dec 08 and Jan 09 and thatz no mean achievement. I understand few of it I could have avoided but hey, most of us only get married just once in our life time, isn't it a great feelin to be part of that occasion??? Even tonight I'm headed out for a weddin to Calicut and well as always I would be goin there empty handed but still ensure that my presence is made felt and I feel good about it.

And as humans, I see that once you give a present to someone, invariably we expect the same simply coz we gave somethin and then we try measurin the same as to did the person when she/he attended your function/occasion match your present/gifts. Well I suppose thatz exactly what I'm tryin to avoid, coz I know even I would end up expectin and itz not fair simply coz it might lead to disappointment. Knowin that I'm a person who expects out of everyone, I guess it would come naturally to me and if I can avoid it why not???????

Well end of it I would like to sign off sayin hey, if you expectin anythin from me, rest assure you can expect my presence but not presents ;-)..

Bon Weekend :-)

Settle in LIFE??????

I'm sure all of us have at some point heard this!!!!! "SETTLE IN LIFE". I suppose we all have our own definition of settlin down in LIFE. Even our elders have a definition, which invariably leads to you bein married off and yeah then havin kids of course the car and house is part of the deal too..

Thanks to my colleague who just walked upto me to ask if I had any luck with my partner search and when I told her I'm in no hurry and I would like to take my life as it comes, she came up with this line sayin that I'm 30 (thanks I didn't know that!!!!!!) and then she mentioned about settlin down in life.. Well guess this is where we disagree!!!! I mean, for me settlin down is not all about gettin married, havin kids and buyin a car and house.. I rather have life my life on a roller coaster, wherein everyday is an adventure for me and everyday is gonna be a surprise. Thatz thrillin, isn't?????

I would rather take a sabatical from work, go around the world, see places, meet people, make new friends and hell enhance my knowledge about people and country. Well marriage can happen in the process and it would be great to have company in doin all this, who would want to do all this all alone???? Definitely I'm not the one, I rather have company for all this. Oh, yeah we were talkin about settlin down, doesn't that mean that we are gonna be tied down with mundane activities everyday and we would rarely get a chance to spice up our life?????

True, some day we should slow down, but why now?????? probably at 90 we can slow down, till then live life as if there is no tomorrow and make every moment of it worth it and guess settlin down is somethin which comes along, instead of we plannin to settle down.

I'm hopin atleast the future generation is never gonna be bogged down with this idea of SETTLIN DOWN, instead wishin and hopin that they get to explore what the world has to offer us, though itz a different topic to discuss, wherein today's kids are SETTLIN down, but they are SETTLIN down in front of a monitors with the Wiis and PSPs!!! Ahhhhh talk about generation GAP ;-)

SACRIFICE!!!!!!!!!

Last weekend, I was asked to meet up with a friend's friend who had come to Bangalore along with her daughter for the common entrance exams. End of the meet up, I was totally overwhelmed and felt good that I did take out time to meet them.

Though she was findin it difficult to communicate to me in English, she managed a brave front and I was slippin into the little hindi I know to help her switch but she refused to budge and continued to speak to me in English. There are few things which I would like to highlight in this post.

First of all, I think her daughters are a BLESSED lot, simply coz the dedication she has shown towards ensuring that her daughters are given the best, which she was denied. Given the fact that she was married off early right after her high school and then motherin two children, livin in a joint family, startin a parlor to make ends meet hasn't dampened her spirit of ensuring that her daughters get the best. Also the fact that her folks and siblings are really well to do off and ensuring that she doesn't knock their doors is highly admirable.

Though she has been stretched all possible ways, be it emotional or financial, the undying spirit of her is what gets her going. Infact I was just tellin her daughter that she owes a lot to her mom and she better live upto her expectation. I know most of us would go back and see that all our mom's have always gone through hell to bring us up, but as usual we are most likely the last one to recognize her efforts, or even walk upto her and say "Mom I love You and You are the BEST"

Well, here's wishin her daughter all the best for a education and career and Ma'am its definitely been an honor meetin up with you and I'm sure your dedication will ensure your daughters would go places. Thanks for remindin me again how important a role our mom's have played in shapin up our lifes. And definitely lookin forward to meetin you again some time in the future.

Back on the PROWL!!!!!!! ;-)

Well given that I had taken a break from my partner search on the matrimonial site, I find it extremely tirin to again go through the entire process, awwwwwwww how I wish love could happen to me and I would be spared this ordeal of readin through profile and expressin interests, gettin rejected, interests bein expressed, frankly its sappin me of my energy, but guess beggars can't be choosers.

Well like folks and friend's say, guess I need to look into the brighter side of it, the hunt for my partner in crime ;-) and keepin my fingers crossed that it would be sooner than later that I end my search and get into knowing the person, meetin up for a coffee.. wow sounds too good ;-)

And yeah somewhere down my heart, i still feel I might still fall in love and that too with a love at first sight and then things would be taken forward.. Awww what a feel that should be. There were two times when that happened to me.. Yeah it did. LOVE at first sight, but as luck would have had it, one was married and with a kid and the other one didn't even reciprocate, guess I should have heeded to the advice that at times it can happen just one way too ;-)

Yeah, also I would like to thank few of my friends, who have been really helpful with respect to my partner search, sorry since I can't name you here, but sure you know itz YOU. Really appreciated that you folks are goin out of your way to help me, unfortunate few didn't work and special thanks to one person, who has agreed to be my last resort incase nothin works out :-). You folks are my TRUE friends, who are around when the tidings have been bad :-).

Well to end on a lighter note, for all the folks who are keenly followin this blog... Any help with respect to partner search is welcome, I guess if you read my old post on 25 weird ramblings, you would get an idea as to what I'm lookin for, or hey just check it out on the matrimonial site or just ask me ;-), coz I strongly believe itz always good to go with the known devil than the unknown ;-) (and hope that one person never reads this ;-) ) coz then it would be like, we would already have a point to argue on as to who is the DEVIL ;-)

A Woman's/Man's Best FRIEND

Its been known or atleast told that our best friends is always a Canine. And personally too I've always believed that a Canine would always shower us with love unconditionally unlike us humans, who always expects something. Well itz entirely a different topic wherein we can discuss that. We as humans, guess it comes naturally to us to expect when we do something for others. Guess thatz how our genes are designed.

After more than a year and half, yesterday we brought home a new member to the family and his name is Mougly (Yeah the Jungle Book Character), he is 8 months old, adorable, cuddly but yeah uncouth to the core but guess what, one look into your eyes and you really don't mind him bein that.. Guess thatz how he is made of.

Well, today I wanted to write about him for two reasons, One, incase I plan to move out of a Bangalore, I wanted some company for my folks and secondly I wanted them to get over the pain of losing Titu (yeah thatz what they named him) exactly a year and half ago. Though papa kinda disagreed to the idea of bringin him home, simply coz he didn't want to get over and gave me tons of reasons as to why I shouldn't bring him home. Mom, well she would love to see him come home but she had to go along with dad.

Well, thatz why I guess we love our folks, end of the day we had a good debate on the pros and cons and guess democracy prevailed at home too, he agreed to allow me to bring in Mougly and well when he came home, papa was actin as if he really doesn't care and wait.. in the mornin our man is warmin up to him, guess thatz what our BEST FRIEND can do to humans. Melt our hearts and never expect anythin back :-)

I'm glad that we have company at home and welcome home MOUGLY.. We love you :-)

ADVISE!!!!!

This is somethin which we either get a lot or give a lot and the best part of is that itz FREE!!!! I guess that where advice kinda of never getz itz due importance simply coz itz dispensed free of cost.. I guess for the receiver he looks like "Hell she/he goes again" and for the giver "Hell, atleast hope this time around she/he takes you seriously"

Last week, which has been a week of ADVISE for me, I felt its only fair that I blog on this, simply coz for most of the time I use to dispense ADVISE to all my friends, simply coz I believe I always strive to attain perfection and I wanted the rest of the lost to do the same as me. But guess this week has shown me that I'm no where close to be a PERFECTIONIST, well I believe that simply coz if I was one, then I wouldn't have been advised on various ways I go about my life.

Frankly speakin, few were one which I think I myself had told that I need to slow down for my own good, guess it was just a coincidence that I had two of my very good friends tellin me slow down. But yeah when I tell somethin to myself I give it cent percent or more, but when the same people go about town tellin about how they should help me achieve my decision, I feel they are overstayin my welcome. Well end of the day guess they are doin it for my own good. :-)

But definitely I've been blessed to meet and know few of them, who for nuts sake can't advice but when they are given some wise ones, they just can't register that damn it for their own good. Now that can get irritatin to a large extent when you see that the person is repeatin the same mistakes over and over again.. Guess they are determined to learn the hard way.

End of it, guess ADVISE, whether given free or taken for free, I believe if the person to whom itz being dispensed is in no mood to implement the same, then itz just waste of our times. I would rather suggest that the same time is spent with some orphans or an old age home. Sure it would be worthwhile rather than wastin our precious time.

DEMOCRACY!!!!

We all have waited with bated breath to see the outcome of the Elections 2009 here in INDIA. Not that we have a choice in choosing the leaders, since we are always forced down out throats with candidates of the Party's choice and never ours. Until and unless wherein few independent candidates show the guts to stand up against the party's choice but alas, how much can they fight against money and power?? Guess end of the day we get to choose the lesser DEVIL and give them the rights to rule us (yeah rule us) though they are supposed to take care of the electorate.

Tomorrow bein the D day with the counting startin off early mornin and sure towards mid day we should know which of the lesser DEVIL is gonna rule us for the next 5 years. Unfortunate that I couldn't exercise my rights, but hell still I would like to see a government installed which would look at takin us ahead, instead of takin us backwards with respect to development. I'm even contemplatin of not headin for the gym, just to ensure that I do not miss any of the actions out there.

Well end of the day, definitely we are gonna have quite a bit of horse tradin and all the dirty tricks of politics is gonna be happenin right in front of us, guess there is very little we can do given that most likely we are gonna have a fractured verdict. Guess thatz where DEMOCRACY plays an important role.

I would be more than happy if we are gonna have a government which would think progressively and ensure to make us feel that we did vote for the right bunch of guys and not idiots who are only tryin to fill their coffers for themselves and the next generation.

Till then, waitin with bated breath to see whatz gonna be bestowed on us for the next 5 years.

GIFTED OR BLESSED???????

With all the exam results bein announced and thanks to the newspapers, which have been coverin all the rank holders and how most of them are puttin in hours of effort in scoring GOOD marks??? Well this discussion can head two ways but here I would like to cover one of the aspects which I feel teaches all of us a very BIG lesson.

I'm sure most of us are born into families, wherein we didn't have much of a problem with respect to education atleast with the schooling part of it. With the results being announced the news papers have been doin an extra ordinary work of identifyin kids who are not even gifted or blessed like us and who have fought through adversities to score good marks. Frankly speakin today when I was readin one of the article, wherein this kid belongin to the poorest of the society, lost his folks and his tribe of people dress as mythical characters and beg on the streets, he was supported by his closest family and he achieved 86% of marks. Definitely itz no mean achievement.

Proud, I did feel for the kid and hopin that he would fly out in flying colors with his future education and sure quite a few philanthropist would approach him to help him out, now that he has been featured in the newspaper. But my question is? why the hell do we take things for granted. I mean, look at it, with all the facilities provided to us, we still make a BIG deal when we just pass our exams, even if it means we just scrape through. Hell, imagine kids like these who give in their heart and soul to education and just want to get out of their poverty and make their lives BETTER.

Well the point I would like to stress here is that, probably debatable, but I feel itz the INDIAN middle class attitude. We are happy with whatever we have, we are never ambitious, we are never tryin to reach out, coz we have our own mess to handle. Wish I could change this entire thing with a wave of a magic wand, but alas we have all learnt to be comfy in our settings and never worry too much. The biggest factor I feel is that, we take everything for GRANTED, and that where the entire issue crops up.

Well wishin Dharmaraj all the best for his higher education and hoping he would becomes an IAS or KAS officer as he dreams of becoming one day. As for us, guess we need to go for a total change over in our ATTITUDE. Fingers crossed on that.

*Everyone keeps telling me that the right woman will come along...I think mine got hit by a bus.*

This was posted by a friend of mine on Facebook, but well I modified it to suit my situation ;-)!!!!! And I couldn't agree any less with her... I mean 7 years and still waitin.. now somethin should be seriously wrong.. probably the woman got hit by a bus and got knocked down and I'm still waitin for her ;-)

Well anyways, I'm sure there are quite a few or probably everyone who would still say hang in there, coz itz gonna be worth the wait.. awwwwww how I wish I could let you folks know how frustratin the wait can be.. I mean look at it.. though I like the idea of stayin single, I definitely don't mind a partner in crime but then it should all happen in a jiff so that even before I know that I've found a partner in crime, we are more or less make one soul instead of two ;-) ( hope I ain't askin for too much :D )

Well now that I'm headed back to matrimonial sites to find a partner in crime, I'm just hopin it would help me in narrowin down my search for the partner in crime and hopefully without takin too much time.. I mean who the hell likes the idea of bein made to wait and I guess to a large extent I would appreciate if the old sayin aren't applicable in my case ;-)

Yeah in case someone has kinda saved this woman from bein knocked down by the bus, let me know and I definitely don't mind catchin up for a coffee to see if she's really the ONE :-)

REVENGE!!!!!!

Is it very human to feel that you should get back to people coz they caused harm to you????? Well then I definitely feel I don't belong to that race. I rather let things go and feel bad for the person coz he or she did so coz circumstances forced them to do so..

But again, if a person had this knowledge and then seeks your permission to cause damage to the other person, would you give the permission or not???? Well even if you wish you don't want to give permission, you know the information possessed by the person would be used. Then how would you see yourself? Guilty of causin harm or being party to it? Though you never wanted to cause any harm coz that is not sooo much You????

Guess I always end up ponderin over things which can make life diffcult.. I rather let things shape up on its own and if I get pulled up for no fault of mine, guess then I can worry about it... ;-)

Anyways I know end of the day when I seek answers with my consciousness I know I haven't done anythin wrong and thatz the only thing I'm answerable to... That should give a good SLEEP :-)

Dedication for MOTHER's Day

♫ Thanks Aku for providing a great piece of work for MOTHER's Day :-)

M is for the million things she gave me; O means only that she's growing old; T is for the tears she shed to save me; H is for her heart of purest gold; E is for her eyes, with love-light shining; R means right, and right she'll always be…. Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER" - A word that means the world to me and sure it means the same to you.

Definitely words can't really fill in for all the love and care our Mother's have showered on us. But guess I'm just doin my bit for our Mother.

Thanks Mummy for all the pains you've taken. We LOVE you.

Tips to MARRIED LIFE!!!!!!!

Few months ago when I told my friends that I was up for grabs in the matrimonial websites.. A very good friend of mine, who moved to the US one fine day and only to be tracked after years, simply by the virtue of havin my email id in his wallet which he tried clearin up after good 6 years.. He is happily married to Hanne and he had a word of advice, rather 6 advices to MARRIED LIFE.. Well not that I'm anywhere close to bein married but thought these were quite valid points and wanted to see if my other married folks would agree and have any additional inputs to the same. The followin was his advice ;-)

I would like to impart to you a few golden rules that will come in handy and save you a lot of grief.

1. She's always right
2. Always keep one ear open, so you know what she's saying - you will learn this valuable technique after the first time she cracks you on the head.
3. Never answer the following question: Does this dress make me look fat?
4. Never forget a birthday or anniversary or any other important day.
5. Don't believe her when she tells you that she doesn't like to shop...all women like to shop (it's in their genes) the only question is what they like to shop for.
6. Lastly, always always be original.

Lets see what you've got to say folks ;-)

A Wonderful Tragedy - G. Shravya

I chanced about this piece of poetry written by a Class X student G. Shravya from Hyderabad while I was browsing one of the newspapers!!!!! Gosh the kid's got talent I should say... I hope they don't mind me borrowing the poetry for my blog ;-)

Life is such a wonder
One second everything is clear
But in the next it's all chaos,
We don't know why we're here!

We all start off as strangers
A few become our friends,
The rest all disappear
Our relationship with them ends.

A few friendships are weak,
Some, very strong,
But most end in heart breaks
And many go all wrong.

Sometimes when we are lucky
A friendship can be a start,
to a more meaningful bonding
That brings magic to the heart.

There is an inseparable togetherness
And for a while, it's pure bliss
But nothing lasts forever,
And so doesn't this.

It all starts over
Every thing's chaos once again
Life is such a wonder
Yet, it is so full of pain!

G. SHRAVYA

Truly the kid is gifted and definitely the words sound pretty heavy even for a 10th grader, looks like the kid's really had some tough break ups.. but just thought its a beautiful piece written from the heart and the last bit of the poetry is full of optimism which I suppose is what rubbed me off too to post it here :-)

With Power comes Responsibility

I've used this punch line twice within a span of few weeks, which I've borrowed it from the movie SpiderMan.. But definitely its one of those lines which really made a lot of sense. Its really nice to know that there are few people who really look up to you in life, but then I would say its a double sided sword, simply coz then you need to live upto their expectations and there might be times wherein you would end up doin things which you might disagree but then you need to match their expectations.

I've always believed and I'm sure by this time you would know that I strongly advice, live your life by the rules you set and not what others expect out of you, coz then you are losing your genuineness and tryin to fill in someone else's shoe.

Well, I know as a matter of fact I've influenced quite few lifes with my thought process and one of them happened to be one of the guy's who used to work in one of the World of Titan Store, who really had this carefree attitude, well really can't blame him, coz he was all of 19 years, dropped out of education coz he wanted to support his family but one thing which I saw in him was that HE dreamed BIG. I really wanted to help him and did try reachin out to him, but most of the time he gave this feelin that he doesn't really care.

Fast forward few years and then I see that though he always gave me the carefree attitude, he did take my words seriously and started workin towards achieving his goals despite odds stacked against him. And I only happen to realize this when I met him in person and realized hell I had influenced this guy to a large extent, that today I'm one among his 6 idols the rest being Arundhanti Roy, Varghesee Kurien, Kamal Hasan, Piecrce Brosnan and Kamala Das. Hell frankly speakin I really don't think I'm that praise worthy, coz I only tried makin him a better person but definitely i don't need to be sharin the dias with the rest. Coz like i mentioned that becomes a responsibility and there might not be any room for error.

Well, there are always few things which you don't anticipate when you try reachin out to people, but I suppose I should just be myself and try reachin out to everyone, coz I know thatz what makes me happy and I suppose irrespective of the consequences. Coz end of the day if I can make this world a BETTER PLACE to live, guess I would have achieved what I had set forth.

Suraj, here wishin you all the very best in your endeavors and I'm sure you will go places. Never let your spirit die coz end of the we all live by HOPE, though the degree of it differs.. Just hang in there and I'm sure there are BETTER DAYS for you, coz I know you DESERVE the best :-)

Your loving,

Salu Sir

Quality or Quantity!!!!

I was just havin a conversation with my colleague and she happened to mention that we all work towards money and I was beggin to differ with her and thatz when I said I would rather live my life Qualitatively rather than Quantitatively...

I mean look at it, end of the day all of us or atleast most of us work towards a goal and usually its driven by monetary benefits or the end result would be if we earn so much we can achieve so much. But my question to all of you is when you look back, do you realize you wasted your life tryin to achieve somethin which is monetary and failed to enjoy the simple pleasures of life???

But yeah I wouldn't blame anyone for doin so with their lifes, simply coz the so called society judges you on what have you achieved in life and for cent percent it would be what you've achieved monetarily and usually it ends up bein the scale of measure.. How unfortunate.. :-(

Well I've always told myself and continue to believe that I rather enjoy the simple pleasures of life rather than get into the mad rush of makin all the money and not stoppin to enjoy life.. I definitely believe in have a Quality life rather than bein measured by the society with respect to my monetary achievement.. Hell I know few would say this guy is just makin himself excuses but let me tell ya.. I find more gratification in makin a difference to others life rather than glorifyin my life with all that money can buy..

Also I believe, if you believe in somethin strongly, it would happen.. One reason why love to spend time with folks who are passionate about what they want to do with life.. simply coz they know that its the best way to live their life and not give into the whims and fancies of so called Society.. Agreed so called society is a necessary evil but again it depends on how much of it should be influenced by them..

Lastly all I've got to say is, Hey stop, look what you doin with your life.. is it really worth it???? if not stop and learn to enjoy simple pleasures of life.. go get out and get drenched in the rain.. scream or howl or just dance with two left legs.. who cares as long as YOU are happy!!!! Thatz what I called Quality... and remember money can never buy you LOVE!!!!! and be it from anyone but it just can't buy it!!!!!!!

Bon Weekend and see you on Tuesday :-)

The Reason-Hoobastank

Yesterday while I was just drivin in Bangalore and listenin to Radio Indigo 91.9, when this song played and immediately i was tellin my friends in the car that I would blog this song.. Simply coz I know this song is applicable to lot of us and somewhere atleast once or more we would want to say this to someone or the other. In this case its more with Girlfriend, but definitely I feel it can be applicable to our folks, siblings, friends or even spouses!!!!!!

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
