The Onion Relationship Duality

25-Feb-2011 8 PM , TechM Colocation, Pune :
This one is just a thought that had crossed my mind some time back.. Penning it down just now.

The beauty of any relationship does not lie in the intimacy we share with someone but it is in the intricacy of the layers of emotion in that relation. A good relation is like that mixture of spices which brings out every single flavor of life. Love, anger, jealousy, pride and every other emotion that we feel is the result of our relation with people or with things, tangible or otherwise. We love our parents, get angry at our kith, get jealous of our colleagues, feel pride in our self.. But a relation which witnesses all the emotions, will be the strongest of all. And the only relation which has such multi-dimensional feeling is friendship.

Valentine Color Conundrum

15-Feb-2011 - 02.30 AM - Trying to figure out a multitude of things..

OK Guys... Finally the ordeal this last week was is over... Just for the people who don't know what I m talking about, the last week was the "valentine Week" aka "Love Week". It starts with some Hug day or a chochlate day or something like that and ends up with valentine's Day..

There are a few things which intrigue me about this time of the year..

Now from what I hear from people experience in the matters of love, it is supposed to be a very colorful thing but ironically you will see that the spectrum of colours in this love weeks gets reduced to just reds and pinks.. I mean if love is so colorful then why not depict it in rainbow colors..

Let’s look at the different people who get impacted by this “carnival” of love…For the couples it is very straight forward, they know what, where and with whom they would be spending the day. For singles as well it is very simple as they know it is a buffet and they can go and fish whatever they want. The people on which this time is the hardest are the people who are neither single nor in any relationship. The people who are living in uncertainties are the worst victim of this love-week. For them the spectrum of colors keeps moving from the lovely pinks to lonely grays. They don’t know whether the person who they want to spend the time with wants the same and also they cant be completely free to enjoy the buffet.

There are many more things about this love-week which baffle me but let's leave something for the next edition of this festival.. :)

And for me...? Well it was neither the Monday blues nor the pretty pinks.. For me it was just pure white. Like a white sheet of paper still waiting for to be written on..

P.S. White is the color you get when you combine all the colors in a rainbow..

Happy Valentine's Day all...!!!
