Nano Black-mail

No, I don’t mean, ‘small’ blackmail.

Not sure, how helpful Nano has been/would be to others. To me, it indeed has been. After all, I got to steer the wheel of my Husband’s (taunt ,this is) car after 2.5 years!

All I had to say was “ Let me drive, or get me a Nano!!” . It worked!!

Had this major breakthrough in the automobile industry happened years ago, I wouldn’t have to write Rash driving? call xxxxxxxxxx

Issue-less or an Issue?

If only she had spoken up-front, she could have avoided the marriage; Of her husband.

Besides bearing the brunt of being childless for no fault of hers, she drove another innocent lady to an unhealthy matrimony, helplessly.


I guess, it's quite improbable now,rather, I hope so. But I wonder if it were ever the reason for getting a man married for the third time for not having heirs from the first two wives. Could it be a case of ego for men ( I still wonder why!!) and restraint of freedom of expression for women?

I was shocked when one of my relatives, married for over 12 years, got a suggestion from "well-wishers" to go for a second marriage for being issue-less. Come on! Even now, one says so!!??

Strong? Me or Love?

Interesting conversations with people make me wonder...

Which is stronger? To let go of love or hanging on to it, come what may?

One said, " I am a strong person, I could come out of the depression of letting go of love and was able to move on in life".

Another said, "I was strong enough to cling to the love , came whatever hurdles ".

What is Love?

Trust? Care? Faith? Or what else ?

Well, I have come to the belief that it has to be nothing but “Centre of Attention (CoA)”. If you are the CoA of someone, then you can claim to be loved by that someone. Likewise, you reciprocate with ‘Love’ for whom you are CoA.

A couple of weeks ago, I spoke to a mother of 3 month old baby. She said, “It feels great to know that the baby wants none but me! I am loving every moment of being wanted". She loves the kid for she is the CoA for the baby that makes her feel wanted. The same would apply to the baby when it starts realizing that it is CoA for parents and ‘loves’ in return.

A time will come when for an individual, his/her immediate family, spouse and children, would mean more than any other relationship ( Parents, to be specific). If that has to happen, meaning to shift priorities, it has to be because of getting undivided attention from someone, and made felt as the most important person in one’s life.

Basically, to feel wanted is to be loved. If CoA shifts, Love drifts.

If one claims to love someone, one is doing no help/favor to that someone. One likes to seek attention, so much like others, and if he/she is the CoA of someone, love is indeed found in that someone.

Rags, let me tell you, I am doing no favor by loving you. In fact, I am thankful to you for making me feel wanted!

One to give up or not?

If I give up reading "Midnight's Children" (Booker of Bookers) after the 5th chapter,
should I call myself a person who gives up quickly or one who doesn't?!!!!
