New age complex relations

I was watching this movie - Karan Johar's Kabhi Alvida na Kehna after say almost 4 years. I def did not like the movie that time inspite of being an ardent SRK fan. I believed how could all the relationships get confused and complicated believing that marriage is the solution to every problem. I was a typical Mills and Boon - Yash Chopra love stories believer.
But as years passed by with experiences I have been through and my friends, I have started believing in the story of KANK that relationships are not mathematics making 2+2 =4...There is a lot of physical properties + chemical reactions involved too.
Friendships have become complicated and so have relationships. You fall in love with friends, you fall out of love with lovers. You get married to someone you don't love and love someone you don't marry.

The truth is we all come from different cultures, backgrounds and beliefs, what might drive one person against the wall might be not disturb the other person. People have started believing if someone is not like them, they are just not good enuf. There is too much of self love and narcissism around. It is definitely good to love one self and respect our own culture but not to the extent of shutting the doors of respecting and accepting other value systems. According to my few years living away from home, I have realized that open minded, non judgmental and accepting people are very few in this world, it is very hard to become like but not impossible.

God did not say life would be fair, all he said was it will be worth it :)
Complications and sufferings in relationships is God's way of telling us that the pain and trouble is all worth it. If one piece of the puzzle does not fit, you will not throw the puzzle in the garbage, keep trying until you find the perfect fit but don't waste time with the same puzzle piece trying to make it fit, it will never work.
God luck and God bless for becoming better people :D

Football over Cricket really?

I was just reading yesterday about the T20 going on but with this FIFA fever not sure how many people are actually watching cricket. India is freaking ranked 133rd in the world in football as compared to No. 1 in tests and No. 3rd in ODIs in cricket.
The only last time India qualified for the football world cup was when they could not even play because they were not wearing shoes...(yes that is true)
Cricket is a religion in India and the cricketers are godly, inspite of this there is more hype for football than cricket. Why?
Probably because these days there are soooooooooo many ODIs and some weird T20s which have no importance. In my teenage years or in fact until last few years there were only few important matches and even I used to look forward to the world cup, not that I still don't enjoy a good cricket match but now its like every other month there is some unimportant match being played.
Now tell me who all know that India is hosting the next world cup which is barely 8 months away...Wohoooo!

Ok some dirty humor for the day on sledging ;)
