So I've been tagged by my two wonderful friends Puneet and Michelle. A tag to list 8 qualities of your perfect lover. And to mention the target. This by all means is an important one not to overlook for it reveals the gender and sexual orientation of folks who blog anonymously.

Reading through a bunch of bloggers who took up this tag, made it sound like a cool profile for some matrimonial site. I want someone who is tall, dark, handsome, honest, loyal, caring, loving, kind, understanding, blah, blah…(wooh, did that add up to 8? :P Oh hell, but here, we are talking about a perfect lover. Does that by any chance have be symbiotic to a perfect spouse? If yes, guess it’s a bonus. A great package deal of two in one :P Rarity, but guess some are born lucky.

Ok guys jokes apart, since Im tagged, I might as well play sport no matter how silly or personal it might seem.

Target: Male, I swear I am straight

1. He is the one who sees the funny side of an everyday situation very pleasantly. My no. 1 stress buster who adds extra laughter to my life and gives me the resilience I need to cope even when the going gets tough.
2. His passion and optimism are my inspiration. The love he has for doing things he wants to, appeals me. His sensitivity, spirituality, sense of direction and strength - both mental and physical fascinate me.
3. He makes me feel comfortable and at ease. We both can be whacky and eccentric and yet admire these traits about each other.
4. He is compassionate and kind towards others. His is a forgiving heart. He knows exactly when to give me my space and support me.
5. As much as I like to believe I am independent, I also like the fact that he is there besides me to protect me anytime I need him.
6. He is the one with whom I need no words to communicate. A look into one another’s eye, a simple smile or a soft hand squeeze and tons of messages get delivered instantaneously.
7. He is intelligent. A great thinker. His decisions are based on logic and analysis. I, on the other hand am a feeler, sometimes indecisive and spontaneous which balances quite well.
8. He is my friend, my companion whom I can talk to and feel happy and secured in old age as much as in youth.

Its around the corner

The dirty secret about Valentine’s Day is that everybody hates it. You’d say - Um no, they don’t. Infact everyone loves this day. Its only when their V-day sucks they don’t like it.

The opportunity to theoretically receive diamonds, roses, chocolates, love letters, cards, lingerie and sex?? Oh, the cliché of it all – consumerism! Those gifts are popular because pretty much everyone loves them. It’s a rare rare woman who will be upset to receive any of the aforementioned gifts. And it’s a rare man who will be unhappy with the thought of an evening spent with a woman and her new lingerie. Are those stereotypes? Hell yes, they are :P

I’ve learned one thing from my impressive steak of not quite romantic valentine days. It’s the holiday that rarely goes well for procrastinators. That’s why you folks have ample of time 21 days to be precise - to madly fall in love with a tall, dark, handsome or a short, fair, hot stranger and hell lose 20 lbs while you are at it. Or barring that, find the next best thing - the guy at the gym, or the girl next door, the boss of your ex-bf/gf and flirt like you are on some reality show with a 2 week deadline and a significant cash prize.

If you’ve already snagged a living, breathing boyfriend of your own, don’t encourage him to be ‘creative’. Men don’t understand what that means. Instead encourage him to think of all the romantic clichés and buy into each of them. In other words, get off your snarky about Im too hip to-visit-Hallmark and plan something ridiculously romantic and cheesy beacuse one day of the year there is nothing wrong in enjoying the banal fantasy of it all just like you enjoy surreal Disney movies :)

As for me, Im going to go rent my favorite Sleepless in Seattle and You’ve got mail. So guys tell me about your plans and I will live vicariously through you :)

Friday fury

Bin Laden's vague offer of a truce paired with a threat of another attack on the US has been on news all day

If his goal is to destroy America and their way of life, then he is accomplishing this through his words by enabling the radical American right wing and its political tool, the Bush administration, to wreak havoc on the foundations of freedom and democracy. What Bin Laden has in Bush and the radical right is far more effective than any bomb. He has cultured an insidious virus in the heart of America that is eating them from the inside out.

My fellow Americans, do not fear the enemy at the gates, fear the enemy in the castle.

PS: Everybody have a smashing weekend.

Privacy means public

In this age of 'Too much information' and ‘Who cares’ attitude, our privacy is going public.

The lines of privacy are persistently being crossed with cell phones ring toning off the hook on subways and buses, in stores, restaurants, theaters and even on streets while just walking around. Innumerable loquacious people chat incessantly and shamelessly forgetting the reason why phone booths with doors once existed.

We seem to be on a spree. We text, instant and voice message the most mundane yet personal information. 'Dr. sez I’m fine, xrays normal.' Or 'Waiting for bus, just bought stay free pads'. Since when did sharing such information become normal? We’re so willing to talk about our privacy in public that most of us do it without even realizing it.

Its funny considering how much money and time we spend trying to keep our abodes safe. We have secured doors, windows and alarm systems for our homes and firewalls for our computers. We keep passwords for our bank accounts, emails, and online purchases. Some of us even have very watchful landlords. Like the one I once heard yelling at the superintendent across the street, 'We’ve had complaints of your tenents walking around nude in their apartments.'

Maybe its all okay. After all, seeing the same people over and over again, gives us a familial feeling. May be its this reason why we tend to dress in un matching, wrinkled clothes with our hair askew when we go to the nearest convenience store or the laundry room. Sure, we hope not to bump into anyone we know, but at the same time do we really care? Same applies when we run to the mailbox or walk the dog. Who cares that the guy in opposite apartment saw me in my ripped pajamas? I saw him in his bathrobe the other day.

How bad is it being subjected to people spitting, arguing, urinating, flossing, nose picking (even with tissues, it’s still picking, folks), and even kissing and cuddling in public?

Perhaps some people feel they are invisible in big cities

A Quickie

Time has this ethereal quality about it of just fleeting by. You dont realize how the days and weeks pass by, until you come to the begining of a new year. To some, the new year is nothing but change of a calendar, to some others, its all about new resolutions or discarded ones from the past year, and for a few, its simply about promising to be a little nicer. Whatever be your endeavors, good luck. Thanks everyone, for your kindest wishes. I had a wonderful, fun filled holiday. Hope you all did too. Will be back soon. Take care
