LOVE...

Love is like the seeds of life,
To root is full of pain and strife.
But to grow it's like a great Oak tree,
Straight and strong for eternity.
Love is what I offer you,
Steadfast, calm and oh, so true!
Love is life between two who shares,
A life between two who really cares.
Love is ours, if you agree,
To spend your life with me!

The Road-side gift

Once they both were feeling gloomy. It was a Sunday afternoon.
So He asked She if she wants to go for a shopping.
Seems He has got lots of pennies with him this time, She thought and gave a freaky smile and nodded her head.

Soon they got up from he bed, winded up their romance, got dressed nicely, of course neatly. He put on his denim jeans and a white Tee shirt and she wore a gracy ashy chiffon kurta, well embroidered with silver threads and a white pajama.She put kalool in her hazel nutted eyes and then mascara on the thick eyelashes. A bit of lip gloss on the strawberry lips and now she was ready with her "typical shopping bag" and those Inblu slippers on her soft feet.

Seeing this, he realised one more thing in his life... "Girls are so much into their attire... so much into make up.. Hell on Companies like Revlon, Lakhme, bla bla... for making the cosmetics"
The first thing he realised in his whole life was girls love shopping, after meeting his She.

I doubt if ever before they went for shopping the first time, He had realised this truth. Anyways back to the story.

While She was busy inside her closet's door, he was watching her very keenly.

She was searching something in her silver foiled, well carved box, then in her leather pouch with floral prints.. and then in the hand made box from Aurobindo ashram .. and then in the drawer of the study table... finally she left the search half way and turned back ... She said-: Jaaaaanu, lets go, I cant find them anyways.. so why to bother so much and watse the time...!!"

He was pretty shocked, with excitement.

And they left their room, locked it and walked down the stairs, then through the gate and finally through the lane.. then to the main road and boarded a bus that goes to Shivaji Nagar.

The bus was crowded and both had to hanged themselves like bags from the roof.. She was a bit annoyed as she hates crowd and especially the crowded town buses. But her poor fate, she loves that guy who loves to hang himself in the bus like a bag...

They reached the bus stop and both jumped out and walked towards the wide road to go to Brigade Road.

They walked and walked by, passed by many people, of different ages, different religions, different feels and different motives. But one thing was common- "All loved to freak out in the Sunday Evening."

They walked and and finally reached the place where the shopping junction starts... M G Road intersecting Brigade Road. And standing there, He decided to go into Brigade Road. They proceeded...

She said-"Can I buy this?"
She went on jabbering in front of all the shops which she loves for window shopping. In front a great shop she stood and watched and suddenly spelled out.. "Thats a lovely teddy Poppy.. buy me on my birthday."

He stopped by a juncture.. not to forget Our "He" is finky with eating outside... they have fights very often on the menu in hotels, restruants.. and other eating places in the town... thats a perennial problem with this couple..

The evening was falling and the night was approaching..She purchased some junk things according to He. She got a kashmiri stol for her and then some nice Cds to listen. Also a big card to gift to He on his coming birthday which he wasn't aware of. He purchased a pair of sandals for him and then a big box of chocolates.. Vochelle Hazelnut( a common favorite). She purchased a flavored cigar for her. At times she is finky with few things esp. drinks and cigars. Dont make a mess of that. She has a differnet feel for these things. But He has great resent for these particulars esp social drinking, boozing, fagging.

May be one day He realise That She knows the limits and accept the fact that She is a well sounded girl with heights of .............


Well He wasnt very happy when she purchased that Vanilla flavored cigar of 60 bugs. But he could do nothing as he knew she will defend herself and they will finally land up in a messy fight on the road and he just didnt want nor intend it.

They walked and walked in the midst of the Sunday crowd in a metro in Bangalore.

Slowly the ill feel vanished and he was walking close to his soul mate trying to hold her tiny fingers and caress them. May be he loves her that much and she deserves all that. May be He realises her feeling better than her. Who knows...

And then they stopped.. in front of a footpath shop... lots of gittering things ... ladies hovering road it like flies in a fish market, like bees on flowers...

Yea He realised one thing... He went and searched in the crowdy mess.... and stopped for a while... turned back and and smiled and said-" Janu this is for u.. the gift of today's shopping."

A dangling ear-ring for his sweet heart, not less than 70 bugs... She was extremely happy and jumped.. As I say, "Women are always unexpected, but men are even more unexpected."

She never thought in her dreams that her boy-fren will gift her some thing which she was searching for a long time in the afternoon to go with her get up. A matching hanging ear ring pair for her gracy ashy chiffon kurta, well embroidered with silver threads....

She was over-whelmed and hugged him and gave a sweet peck on his cheek showing her ear to put them in their well deserved place than keeping in the envelope, inside her "mini-world" bag.

He carefully put those well deserving rings into the holes and said..." I love u more than what I u mean to me .."

She gave a sheepish smile and giggled saying all what she means in two words-" I too."

And they walked, side by side, holding each other's hand...in the crowded pavement, amongst hundreds of passers by....

And soon vanished in the midst of the Sunday crowd.

"Love conquers all things; let us yield to love."

Rain Rain go away ... come again another day...!!

Somethings dont change... Life paranoia... ha..ha...

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day...
Litle johny wants to play..
Rain rain go away..!!

I was not pretty small, a perfect teen of 14 years. My mommy made me learn this raga in my 4th year of music course.... "Miyan Malhar".. A raga that great musicians used to sing to get the rain fall...

Had not u been missing the great movie Guddi.." Bole re papihara" where Jaya sings the famous bandish of the raga(though a bit modified). Someone seen Lagaan... "Ghanana ghanana ghana ghira aaye badra"




Originated from the parent raga "Kaafi", MAlHAR is a versatile raga with a great use of both the NI in the raga..

I dont know what made me write this dumb things nor do i bother if anyone reads it... Malhar has ben a raga which makes me feel satisfied, joyous and playful... whenever some one says me to sing ... touch wood, i speel out this raga from my mouth... "Umada ghumad ghana barase bhundara"

Rashid Khan,one of the mesteros of Hondustani Classical, did sing a great bandish in his collections...

The way the raga begins is marvellous and a joyful experience to any musiz lover... the raga for the rainy season... malhar has the blend that will make u wet without rain drops... a raga to be loved, sung and cherished... a raga of festive times... Miyan Ki Malhar ..!!

What Geoffery Miller says?

The evolution of man and mankind goes back to millions of years. recently, I attended a talk in CES, IISc by Geoffery Miller, Prof in University if New Mexico, on the topic entitled " The Evolution of Human Intelligence and Creativity." The talk was exceptionally interesting and was skewed towards cognitive psychology giving an idea of mate choice and use to brains.The talk enclosed the fact that mates in human society are selected not on the basis of beauty or symmetry rather on the basis of kindness, intelligence and the physical fitness. Geoferry has been working on this topic for years and has written books like " The Mating Mind" and " Mating Intelligence."



Women seek for emotional support while men seek for sex?? Is that true?? research reveal something else as per Geoferry.



Sometimes back, I also did see a TV documentary about "Are male and female brains alike?". The human brain is the most mysterious piece of matter on earth. 100 thousand millions neurons determine who we are, and what we do. But it’s only now, in the 21st century, that brain scanning technologies enable scientists to watch this peculiar thing in our head while it is actually thinking.




As Geoferry said, the use of brain cells for evolution got its origin long back from our pre-ancestors. The use of brain for mate choice has been always a great topic and infact a fascinating area of research for anthropologists, psychologists, and not least for evolutionary biologists. while women search for nicer brains, males search for creativity. The feminine gender is keened onto the intelligence while the masculine one hovering onto the art of creativity. While creativity is well demarcated by verbal and pictorial attributes, the representational approach and abstract are well recognized in today's world. The payoffs, as for Geoffery are of three types:

* Survival payoff(tool production and foraging ability) Anyone who hasn't missed Tom's "Cast Away" can better realise this payoff.

** Social payoff (that involves Machiavellian intelligence and group competition,exp: Pre-Halloween "Punkin-Chunkin")

*** Sexual( thats associated with good parenting and better genes, long term genetic diversity and short term individuals in comparison to the first, generations over generations, passing of benevolent alleles, and overcoming mutations)



Has there been no Adam and Eve, the mankind wont be existing, thats the saying goes about that Forbidden apple.


A article was found in the journal "NATURE" -"Molecular insights into human brain evolution" by Robert Sean Hill1 & Christopher A. Walsh. The summary is linked to http://images.google.co.in/imgres?imgurl=http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v437/n7055/images/nature04103-f1.2.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v437/n7055/fig_tab/nature04103_F1.html&h=508&w=600&sz=63&hl=en&start=1&sig2=A8ctBEnLw-t1zpmy4Yppdw&um=1&tbnid=DNt5ha3tiT9QjM:&tbnh=114&tbnw=135&ei=cDq8R92sKZ7mhQOgqMWQDQ&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dhuman%2B%2Bbrain%2B%2Bevolution%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DG



These all can be accounted to the evolution of the neo cortex in the primates and hence the "larger brain".



Among scientists’ most fascinating subjects of study are a small group of mysterious individuals with astounding talents: the so called savants, or “Knowing Ones”. Savants can multiply 5-digit numbers without a calculator, they can speak a dozen languages, recite 12,000 books from memory or, like Temple Grandin, see the world as an animal does. Over half of the savants are autistic and 6 out of 7 of them are male. Experts all over the world are now asking: How big is this little difference between male and female brains? Are women better human beings? Is the male brain in some way defective? Perhaps gender could be the key to the savant’s capacity for genius.

The study of human sexual behavior and human sex differences has been approached from many vantage points (Davidson & Moore, 2001; McGillicuddy-De Lisi & De Lisi, 2002) and in recent years has been viewed through the lens of evolutionary theory (Buss, 1994; Campbell, 2002; Geary, 1998; Low, 2000; Symons, 1979). However, many psychologists, social scientists, and social critics are reluctant and sometimes vigorously opposed to understanding human behavior in general and human sexuality in particular from an evolutionary perspective (Segerstrale, 2000), or at the very least argue that social influences are predominant (Wood & Eagly, 2002). Our goal is not to address the attendant philosophical or social issues, but rather to provide an introduction to the theory and empirical research generated from the evolutionary perspective. In particular, we focus on women's and men's preferences and Choices of mates and marriage partners, and invite the reader to judge for himself or herself the utility of this approach.

Another TV documentary was about "The science behind sexual attraction". Human sexual attraction is bewildering, exasperating, euphoric and potentially dangerous. It is, like romantic love, an indefinable essence. The beating pulse, the clammy palms, and the flood of chemicals to our brain - are all part of the mysterious alchemy of attraction. But what is 'sexiness' from a scientific point of view and what makes 'sexy' 'sexy'?

We reveal just how manipulative nature can be. Taking 'desire' into the lab we can reveal that when it comes to attraction, we are at the mercy of our biochemistry. And these feelings are so powerful that they should carry a Government health warning.

New research concludes that sexual attraction is a biologically based drive just like hunger or thirst. 'Sexiness', 'desire' ... call it what you will, is distilled from an intoxicating hormonal mix designed to encourage human reproduction...

A chemical cocktail that really does make the world go around.

Jalebi Point

It was October 2nd and She and He had a fight last night on a dumb issue. The fight was for the fact that She loves drinking at times but He doesn't. The fight was so bad that night that they didn't sleep together. He slept on the floor and she left the room at 4 in the fine morning and watched TV like a crazy philander till 9 in the morning and then she came up and banged the door and slept crying on her pillow as she realized the fact that her boy friend doesn't understand her feelings and feel happy with the things which she feels nice about. That night two of his friends had come from far of places.He told them that his girl friend was there and so they rushed to meet the girl who has been staying in their friend's heart. The discussion continued.. The talk was for hours.. the fun days in IIT M campus.. songs , fashion show and great deal of photo suits....continued and continued till 3 that night.

The Sunday morning was a bizzare. Neither He nor She wanted such a unhealthy environ to crop up in front of outsiders.. Nor they did dare to talk to each other till 4 in
the afternoon . The silence broke when He made She eat with him the lunch... Aloo ka paratha, Rice, Dal, Salad and Bhindi fry.

The evening went by and it was time or the friends to leave. he and She had a great evening with Sri and Jeeth and both went to drop the friends on the bus stop.

The waiting for a bus is the worst thing in life(from experience).
Four of then were standing and all of a sudden She noticed this guy... the place was extremely crowded. small kids, youngsters, old folks, teenagers... Two thin lanky guys speeding their hands. It was the hot place with burning wood and people saying "arrey bahi, mujhe jaldi do"... Arrey chotu, jaldi pack kar de"..

All of a sudden, She's eyes got fixed there and as a greedy pig, she kept gazing at the place and to He.He as her better half, well the bitter half at times, knew what She wanted and the telepathy worked. He asked, "Chaheye kya." She nodded.

But He didnt have a single penny in his pocket to buy the golden colored, sweet flavored, sexy wires. He was awesomely feeling to give a hug to her and kiss her in the road. For the fact that she broke her silence and demanded. After a long time span, He could see his heart beating again like it did, when He met She in the platform of Bangalore for the first time. He couldn't resist the fatherly love sprouting inside him nor could he show off his romantic feels in front of the public. desperately, He asked his old frens to give him "Five Bugs"... "F*** just five bugs... why Five? Man take Ten...", saying this Sri searched his wallet and gave He ten bugs to buy the mouth watering, yummy, delicious, hot-hot Jalebis.
















Soon the bus came, Sri and Jeeth hugged He and his queen, waved their hands,got into their bus and the bus passed away.

He crossed the road and came to the junction, the Jalebi Point, which was prior crowded and asked the lanky fellow.." Give me ten rupees ka jalebi". saying so he looked at his queen, who was lost in her world and gave a smile with utter satisfaction.The fellow packed the not- hot instant made orangy, delicious Jalebis and gave it to He.

Holding it in his right hand, he walked besides She,warming up her left hand in the fine fall of the night and disappeared in the dark.

My emotions

Emotions... The name of this painting.. A mind depicted in a canvas, the artist's colors so well merged.

Once I was in that painting. I felt my life in the darker side and slowly light spread into the room,lighting it, and again giving me the full enthu and spirit to stand and fight for myself. The feel can't be expressed in words.I am free now. I am healthy now. I am selfish now. I am bad also, better even. I am happy now. I love what I am now. I am what I am now, what I was before when I left home. I am the same small school going kid... searching for a great company.

Alas... the search came to a finest purified choice and searching for my choice, I lost myself in wine, dine and smokes... But as the light spread inside my room, I got up, stood up and ran for my freedom, for my pleasure,for my satisfaction, for myself.. finally today I am happy and what I do is "just dont regret" as I believe

"Past is past how bad it was, and there is always a chance to get a good future and a better present"
