8 Things I want in my perfect lover( life partner)

Sex of the partner == Female
1. Should be a born-again Christian and God-fearing, even more than I am and be an ardent student of the Bible.
2. Should be able to find the balance between the modern way of life and typical Indian values.
3. Should be able to understand me, and love and respect me and my decesions and feelings regardless of what I am. ( I make my point again- respecting is one thing ;obeying is another :) )
4.Should be a non-vegetarian, and should cook and should be willing to learn to cook (of course, I'd help her in the kitchen) .
5. Should treat my parents as her own, I'd promise her to do the same to her parents and live up to it.
6. Should be educated enough to teach our children and should be a working. Doesnt matter if she's engineer or not, but should work, not for the money but the self-respect and esteem it would give her.
7. Should be a mallu and speak atleast as much malayalam as I do.
8. Would be wonderful if she's intersted in music and is a little athletic.
9. She can be related to me, but not through my Dad's family.
10.Should be fun-loving.. I mean the type of person I am.
11. well...She should look pretty. I dont want to lie and tell you that looks dont matter to me :)
12. Should be open to my career decesions, but should always trust n believe me in that she comes b4 that to me.

well there's lot more to add in this..guess I'd keep updating this...well anyway I'm still not sure ..he he ..to tell you people the truth I had a list written, but I threw it off..cause I was pretty much confused for one thing and then..I know.... God knows whts best for us..so why build our own castles..its all goin to be beautiful for those who love the Lord....any doubt anyone???

 

Defining a crush!!!

• well....let me start
  What is a crush???
  I asked myself this question for a long long time...contemplated on it for long ...... mabbe all my teens and now into my youth..but the best I came out with is
  "A crush is the feeling you get at a good looking girl when u meet her for the first second or mabbe the 10th time"
  then again I googled 'crush' and this is what I came up with "A usually temporary infactuation"
  
  Where does this happen??
  It can happen anywhere, anytime...a bus-stop , a classroom , church , the mall anywhere and I mean it!!!
  
  How can this happen??
  well that depends....but I jotted down some points, that crossed my mind...
  1. You see a girl for the first time and feels she's the one..out of the blue!!!
  2. A girl smiles and stares at you...somebody who you've know(like you who she is..the daugher of so and so.sister of so and so..) for long..but havent really talked to.
  3. Your friends keep telling you she's the one for you(teasing..)
  4. You bumb into someone and then ur eyes gets locked...
  
  When can u get this??
  Teens pre-teens, early 20's...but apparently even when u are 23!!!!
  
  What can you do about it?? How to get over it??
  1. Give it to the Lord in prayer....if its HIS will let it be done
  2. Keep out of the her way... and try to fix priorities!!!
  3. Tell your well meaning friends to pray about it!!!
  
  And hey!!! if she's the one!!!! God will bring her to you..whatever happens...
  
  So dear bloggers...by now you'd have understood my new trouble...cool follow the italics and you willl :) ha ha

I wish my backyard looked the same!!!!

beatutiful!!!! that's all I can say....

Boyish again!!!!!!!!

I really don't know wht happened to me today at church. I was sitting there as usual and listening to the Pastor preach on repentance and the wages of sin and it was fine, my mind was just wandering though and I was just there physically present - mentally absent (well not recommended at church though..).. my parents and sister sitting near me.I looked out of the huge wodden windows and saw it was raining and it was beautiful.The pastor finished the message and was praying so I bowed down in the pew. Suddenly it struck me.... DO I GET TO BE A BOY NOW?? NOOOO....

 

gone are the days when I was soo carefree, nothing to worry about, when my grades and books were my mummys problem and not my own...I had an idea..I took my denim jacket and slowly, without anybody noiticing slipped out of church.....I really mean slid..much like in the good ol' days....

I knew I couldnt take the car cause my Dad had the keys and we come to church in toghther as a family in one car...and I dont know why but I dint notice the rain drizzling...well I enjoyed it..it was like I was 13 all over again....I just walked the roads of the my lovely city..I started appreciating the lovely buildings and the trees again...I walked like 2 kms to a "tattu kada" (any mallus around will understand) its like a hawker shop...I sat down..well then, my Mom doesnt like me eating from hawkers..
but well I was 13 again..werent I??? so I had my fill of Dosas and vadas.

and again walked in the rain to my home...all the time I had my cellphone off..(boyish and shewd!!) safe in my jacket, it made my day..rediscovering the boyishness in me...I wish I was a boy(the real Tom Sawyer stuff) again!!!!

Choices!!!!!!!

well yesterday was the bypolls in my state...and I should put my voting plan like this......
"I voted for someone..cause I know another one wont win..and I wanted someone else to loose"
well if anybody from my constituency read this they mite understand..but I'm not sure........

Am I there yet???

well..I've been thinking of posting for quite sometime...well thank you Ruth and Nunzia for encouraging me to post :)

Tomorrow another friend of mine Eldhose is getting married..this is the second wedding among my grad class friends in less than a month..Suddenly, I feel I'm getting old...I feel I'm old enough to take responsibilites..then again as I disect my "self" NO NO NO.......I'm too young for commintment..too young to take
'that decesion'....

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven" Ephesians 3:1,
I do believe in that...so a happy married life to Eldhose and his bride...and to Riza and Reejo!!!!

I leave you all with this quote:
"God wispers to us in our pleasures,speaks to us in our conscience,but shouts to us in our pains;it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world"
--C S Lewis

God bless all my blogger buddies, prayers for all...and thanks to bayol and queenmum and everybody whos praying for me :)and commenting on me :)

Lean patch!!!!!!!!

It's been like almost a month since I posted on blogger...It sounds strange that it would take so long to post a blog..give that, I have access to da net 24/7 at home and college..but this is something a hectic semester can do to anyone...I've just started and its like the last 7 months of my masters education...I dont know if I'll ever go to college again after this...but I'm enjoy and loathe every single moment of it...
The past couple of weeks taught me, that life is never a bed of roses...It's a mixture an aviyal( mallus would know wht this is..a typical south indian dish with practically any combination of vegetables)..the edge lies always in how you take it..how you look at it....and how you react to it...
I found this wonderful verse some days back

Proverbs 15:13--- A glad heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.

How true is it..I just praise God!! I just cant stop doing it..In spite of all my troubles and the hard work I'm forced to put in college..I know I'm preveleged than a whole lot of people..the good Lord has blessed me..as I type this on to my PC my eyes are getting wet..I know, Lord you are touching me!!!
--------
so my dear blogger buddies, I just cant wait to read all ur blogs and comments....I just hope my blog goes back to the good old times...
love you all

The Generation Gap!!!

yea!!!! today morning I had a good long chat with my Dad...He wanted me to go with him to supervise the maintence work of the apartments he owns and has given for rent..

This made me think a level further.I was thinking how different I was from my Grandpa or my appa. My grandpa came from our village and settled in this big city..got a bureaucartic job and was happy with it..He saved every penny he earned and made a fortune by( middle class Indian standards for my father and his siblings) he built houses and gave them for rent..purchased property in prime locations...

My appa too did a little of that He built two houses bougth some appartments and we still live in my mother's modest ancestral property.He doesnt spent as much as me or my sis does..I must say even on Petrol...so is my mom..

But look at me!! I dont have a single penny from my job as savings and I love a carefree life and live on an allowance from my parents at their home..and even when I get a job I dont think...I'll live the way they did..I love them ..I know they do love me soo much back too..mabbe even more than I do love them....

I think its the consumerist mentatily of my generation that need to be curbed to an extend ..but not too much though..I think I need to know and keep the limits..

I thank God for blessing my family sooo very much and I should say I better start living a life thinking of the grace showerd by God on us...I pray HE gives me a wonderful life

God bless all you dear bloggers too
