Luv versus arranged marraige

The most debated topic among college frndz. I cant count the number of times i have had an argument about this during my college days.

Marraige arranged by parents.. Sounds weird to foreigners but is the protocol followed in Indian families. I keep wondering how parents are sure the boy/girl is what his family claims he is. Background search, asking around would help a little but just not enough to know about his/her habits. Even then, they take this risk for their children. Have u ever wondered how much pressure they must be in when they search a partner for u? I don't have the least faintest idea but i have seen some of my friend's parents being stressed out.. I feel sorry for them.. Dash oit[phrase courtesy Woodehouse :)], if thats how they want ,so shall it be.. From our perspective, the whole episode is funny to some and frustrating to others. Funny in the sense that u talk to someone u don't know and try to judge him/her, exclusive interviews when they come to visit u for the first time, a mystery as to how they would be after marriage.. sounds exciting isn't it.. Not that pretty as it sounds really. The gal who has been visited my many families with no further communication. wat would be going on in her mind..How low she must be feeling. Her self esteem takes a deep dive into the seas. Ain't that pretty now, right galz?
Love marriage on the other hand is all heavenly to the couple but as soon as the parents hear of it, commencement of world war 3. Parents can't believe that their child could find a partner for him/herself. It hurts their ego. To hide that, they protest in the name of cast,religion and status. I must say at this point that modern parents have changed and seem to start taking such news pretty well..back to the point.. Both families unhappy.. an occasion that is supposed to be the happiest day to all ends up being a great disaster..
And the catch here is , u cant opt for one or the other, it just happens. Lucky enough(maybe unlucky.. i don't know) to fall in love or wait for the mystery man..either ways, many disappointments as well as surprises.. Finally, how i see it is marriage is a package that has all kinds of people with all kinds of opinions + happiness and sorrows .. this is wat makes it the most memorable day of every person's life..
What is urs?? Luv or arranged???????????????????? Lets gossip :D

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Yes!! Am a victim of the F.R.I.E.N.D.S Mania!! I still cant figure out what is in it that makes me go crazy over the series!! I just adore all 6 of them. Well, when i started out initially, phoebe and Joey were my favourites but as the serial progressed, i found each one of them interesting in a different way. I ended up loving all of them..

I bet every one of u who saw it would have associated each character with someone u know in life. That makes it much more fun !!
For me, my mom is Monica..She being a cleanliness freak,not to mention her delicious food
I associate myself with Phoebe coz in a way am weird just like her!! :D.. and ofcourse she is THE BEST!!
My bro has to be Joey coz all he cares abt is food and fun !! I have no comments with the gals stuff..
Poor Ross - so sensitive .. and his marraiges ending up in divorces!! Not to forget our dear Rachael who is sexy and gets all the HOT Guys!! Chandler is the funniest with all his sarcastic mockery and immatureness with regards to relationships!! ha ha ha

The most touching episode was Phoebe's marraige!! A perfect wedding and very romantic.
The episode where everyone go to beach is hilarious. Phoebe discovers her mom while Monica is bit by a crab and chandler ends up peeing on her wound!! Amazingly funny!!

A right mix of humor, emotions and facts of life!! I can see them over and over a million times and will never grow tired of them!! A must watch - all 10 episodes!

Calvin n Hobbes

A comic strip that will set u into laughing out ur stomach. One of my all time favourites.. I got the entire collection when it was released in Landmark... Calvin is creative, imaginative and innocent & ..... The questions that he asks his dad are so intriguing.. His dad's replies are very funny!!
Ofcourse everyone's pet Hobbes ... The way he tackles Calvin.. everything is just too hilarious.
I have it set on my desktop sidebar.. i just go through one wen i feel like doing nothing!!

Makes me wanna relive my childhood :)

Here are some of the real awesum thingies Calvin imagines. First is of course spaceman Spiff and his adventures on a unknown planet with scary aliens :D.. And Calvin's attempt at studying where he turns into an elephant and so has long term memory power. Not to mention his encounters with Susie ( a potential enemy) and his secret club G.R.O.S.S that is short for Get Rid Of Slimy girlS. Calvin admits "slimy girls" is a bit redundant, as (to him) all girls are slimy, but otherwise it doesn't spell anything.
I especially like their game Calvinball - a rebellion against organized team sports. :D
The only rule of the game is that Calvinball never be played with same rules twice :D

The strip where he invents the transmogrifier made me laugh so hard that i ended up with tears!!

The best bet when you are feeling low!!
