Valentine's Day!!

What does 14th Feb mean to you?..Is it any other day? or is it special?.....For me..it always has been special....not because I had a valentine I could share it with....but for quite the opposite reason that i didnt have a valentine...hehehe!!....But every year...from my engg....I've been receiving a mail from an anonymous person wishing me today... a secret admirer?..maybe..more!!...:)... I always wondered why we needed only 'one' day in an year to express our love for someone.....someone once told me that if you profess your love on a regular basis..the value of the feeling will be lost..and so they wait for a special occasion or a specific time to express their love.....Its strange isnt it?? When you love someone, we do not need to wait for a day or an occasion...every day...every moment will be special when your loved one is with you...you do not need to give a material gift to show how much you love them...just a small gesture that you think about your loved one ...eve...

Do I know you?

What is your definition/ interpretation when you say ' I know this person'? People say that , it is not necessary to spend a lot of time with the person to actually know the person...But then, whenever there is a misunderstanding or a disgareement, a common school of thought is that you havent known that person enough and so there are misunderstandings...Another school says that even though you live your life with a person, you still will not know how the actual person is ....and the widely heard ..'I need to know the person before I say 'yes'....thought!!.... Amidst, all of these...I ponder..will anyone ever be able to say ' Ok..you can know about 'x' person in 'y' amount of time'....? Can we set such 'just-enough' timeframe to know a person? But then?!!.....What do we mean when we say ' I know this person'. I am sure you would ask me, what my definition of 'knowing a person' is...:)......Hang on...I will hopefull...

New faces!!

I was reading one of my friend's blog today and suddenly like a lightning, it struck me, that the face of this friend I was imagining while reading the posts was slowly fading, and finally went blank and a completely new face of the person popped up in my mind. Who is this person?!! I wondered. We were in the same engineering class for 4 years. We might have discussed on hazaar things during those 4 years..I thought that I generally hadan idea about this person. If anyone asked me about the person, I knew I had an opinion!!.... But, only today, have I felt, that my interaction was very 'one-sided'..I only saw the 'generally accepted- public' side of the person.. and never actually 'knew' the person. It was mainly, I believe, because I did not have a close interaction with the person. This feeling of 'Who is this new face? ' happened even when I was reading the blog of one of my closest pals. It made me wonder...Have they changed to such an extent tha...
