(D)illogical-- How to fall in love?

first shortlist all the possible guys you can fall in love with (these would be based on various social, intellectual, monetary constraints).
then strike off those that don't meet your choices of physique( some love apes, some giraffes)
then those that have already been baited (unless you are bitchy enough to chase somebody else's guy)
then you have a bunchful of guys left that can be baited. now each of these guys again would probably have a list similar as yours. and then if you are in his list, and he in yours you have a fair chance of falling in calculated love. then you bait and wait. well if you aren't then you gotta use other tricks and bribery.
tips on that are well beyond this post.

and then there's the other way... where you just plunge on gut feeling. where eyes meet and there are butterflies and fairy tales.

while most emotions can be broken down... how do we break love into sets of likes and dislikes? u either love somebody o you don't. like, dislike o are indifferent. but then how do you answer that one question... why do you love someone? (cos my life would be perfect with this one person... and in shambles without!) how do you break an abstract feeling into a logical choice?

if only someone knew... why do we fall in for someone.. won't use the term love coz' you make it sound like a scientific calculation.
It's a feeling which could never be defined by a single definition and never shall it be. It's a mistake, a beautiful one.
P.S. And here I just killed your humour ;)

The Damsel in Distress Syndrome

Many years ago, a male friend quoted, “a girl/woman in a relationship is somehow more attractive to other guys”.  I didn’t really give a thought to it then, it could have been well merely his opinion. But what with guys liking girls who are already with someone else (and vice versa) I thought it wasn’t as simple as that. At a broader, abstract level, we as social creatures, seek conformity in our actions, a kind of acceptance. We are more willing to conform to something that has been already accepted. More than often we conform to social codes, rules, without questioning them because they already have some acceptance for them. We tend to believe that anything that has been accepted should be worth accepting. The other way of looking at it, and this one’s a personal favourite, is the Damsel-in-Distress Syndrome. Okay, there’s no such syndrome really, and I came up with the name, but it fits. So a couple of years ago, I had this friend who thought a girl was driving him nut...

smoke off yer life

Its been some time since my last post…..but I was preoccupied with other matters… Back to ma writin What is the difference between addiction n habit…if any!! The first thing that I turned to for an answer was a dictionary! In the GREAT DICTIONARY (no adjective, the dictionary I refer is itself called the GREAT DICTIONARY…nt oxford, m a bit unorthodox) i found this: ADDICTED is defined as being physically dependant on a certain thing, or, being devoted to a particular interest or activity HABIT was defined as a settled or regular tendency or practice!! This may sound drab, n my reader may wonder what I am heading to, but I have a point to make, n I hope you bear up wid me The definitions above are not complete, what about mental dependence? I come to the crux of the matter now!! SMOKING: is it an addiction or a habit? its not supposed to make u mentally dependent...but then ppl do behave lyk they r aft some tym...lyk i need a cig to think, to relieve ma tension!!...

a story

Once upon a time, th ere was a bird . He was adorned w it h tw o perfect wings and with glossy, colorful, marvelous feathers. In short, he was a c reature made to fly about freely in the sky, bringing joy to everyone who saw him. One day, a woman saw this bird and fell in love with him. She watched his flight, her mouth wide in amazement, her heart pounding, her eyes shining with excitement. She invited the bird to fly with her, ant the two traveled across the sky in perfect harmony. She admir ed and venerated and celebra ted that bird. But then she thought: he might want to visit far-off mountains! And she was afraid, afraid that she would never feel the same way about any other bird. And she felt envy, envy for the bird’s ability to fly. And she felt alone. And she thought: I’m going to set a trap, the next time the bird appears, he will never leave again.’ The bird, who was in love, returned the following day, fell into the trap and was put in cage. She ...
