The most romantic lines ever!

The below lines are "the idea of a perfect first date" of a friend's orkut profile:

"two shall b born,d whole world wide apart..n speak in different tongues, follow different customs, n take no thought of each of other's being,n no heed.... n these over unknown seas,to unknown lands,shall cross..escaping wreck,defying death,..n all unconsciously shape every act,n bend each wandering step,unto this end,that one day out of darkness,they shall meet,n read life's meaning...in each other's eyes..."

When love and hate collide

I am listening to this song today - over and over again. My friend K was listening to it during our chat this morning. Something about the lyrics and the way it is sung - it has just been having a soothing effect on me.

Lately, I've been out of sorts with the world. Homesickness can be a major reason, but it wasn't all. I have been making my life a bit complicated. I want to go ahead with my further studies and suddenly it didn't seem so possible. Added to that was the fact that some more of my friends have got engaged / married and honestly speaking, I miss them a lot. A few days ago, I stumbled upon a guy's blog and was touched by something he wrote to his best friend who got married. On an impulse, I wrote to him to let him know that and he replied. His mail was so thoughtful and polite. Nice to know that such people still exist in this mad world. Plus, off late, my mom (with my dad listening in anxiously) and sis have begun their not-so-subtle campaign to get me to agree to an arranged marriage - so that they can start with the famous "search". Sigh...

So, I turned to the most reliable thing to lift my spirits - the chocolate therapy (Last weekend, it was the shopping therapy and I blew a mini-fortune before I felt any better). I have had about 250 grams of chocolate today and frankly, I feel sick. Although, as long as I can feel something other than sad and morose, it's good.
