A chrsitmas note- by a friend

A few  Christmases, back

I gave my heart to a gal
But the very next day, she gave it away
Now, to save me from tears
I've  given it to someone special

For in the  crowded world,
I've hid from you My God 

I now know I should rely on you
Now I've found a real love 

They will never fool me again 

(Happy Christmas!) I realised

A babe wrapped in swaddling clothes,

lying in a manger.

was the greatest gift of all

He Loves me foe me" 

I meant it What a fool I've been in the past

not to accept the gift

If you would like to accept the gift please contact us and we will help you find it

A poem out of lyrics

I am gonna fly without wings

For you will rise me up 

When Ime broken down 

You will lift me to  the sweetest rose of color 

Oh how real those roses seem to be

Even though they just paper roses

Even though my world may loose its glory

You will helped me  start a brand new story

Get my feet back on the ground

Now will you still  stand by me

And if you do

you can wear my hat

And it will just be another day in paradise

Cause you will fill the hole in my soul

Happy Thanksgiving

We would like to apologies for not being punctual in the last couple of weeks. The reasons mainly being personal!  Neriz has being transferred to another part of the country, he will continue to post his blog.

From the Loveaurshanti  team we would like to wish our readers a Happy Thanksgiving.

 “As we give thanks for our loved ones, we should remember those who can't be with us. And as we give thanks for our security, let’s in turn thank those who’ve sacrificed to make it possible, for us be blessed and to be safe. “

We want pre nup - Kanye West

There are about a dozen or more songs that talk about pre-nups. The one that comes to mind is KANYE WEST’s Gold digger, it has a line that says “we want pre nup”


Most women will disagree with a pre-nup. According to these women, if you need a pre-nup you believe that the marriage is not going to work.

A prenuptial agreement is between two people dealing with financial and other decisions in the unlikely event of a marriage ending.


All married couples have a “prenup” – it is known as “divorce law.” Some people may be unhappy with the way divorce law work, and would prefer to take control of their own possessions, rather than leave it in some one else’s hands. In these cases, it makes a lot of sense to get a customized pre-nup.


Post-nups agreements are similar to pre nups agreements, except that they are completed after a marriage

I think pre-nups are a necessity in marriages even more so in cases of arranged marriages.

For more information why arranged marriages should have pre-nups, check out my other blog http://www.arrangedorlove.blogspot.com/

Guest Blogger Steven Cardin

This past week I met with some of my friends who served this country. They did so to protect our freedom and make our homeland a safer place. I want to say thank you from the bottom my heart for your service to our country.

Almost all of my friends who have served this country have either fought in the first or second Iraq war. They took the step to make our home a safer place. Not forgetting the other veterans who sacrificed during the other wars. After all the sacrifice from our men and women in uniform over the years is the homeland a safer place?

Have we forgotten that September day when our homeland was under fire and our people in distress? It looks like we have forgotten what our veterans fought for. What have we become have we become a bunch of people who have to be politically correct all the time. In the recent Army shooting at Ft. Hood the Office is said to have had ties to terrorist organizations. But every one says we shouldn’t label him a terrorist yet because he acted alone. Every thing else he did should not be taken in to consideration. We should just forget that he tried to contact Al- Qaeda, just forget that he was a member of a mosque with a radical imam (priest). We should forget that most of his actions were similar to that of a terrorist even the shouting of Allah Akbar (God is Great) before his rampage. But when a man in Seattle is at war with local police it is ok to label him a local terrorist.

Just because he is an army officer means I guess he can’t be tried in federal court as a terrorist. They say he did not want to kill his Muslim brothers in the Middle East and did not want to be deployed. But it seemed ok to him to kill Americans. Did our men and women fight for freedom on foreign soil just to come home and be murdered or injured by some whack job? That is how we are replaying them for their service. Are the life’s lost for this land meaningless. We can’t even assure their safety on an army base and they say our homeland is safe. They say the war is not justified. Is an attack on American soil ok?

Quoting a friend who served in the Armed forces; “I rather fight the war over there than put my family and my American brothers in danger on American soil. The world may think America is just looking for a fight I say bring it on bitch and get ready for an ass kicking. If you’ll hurt us or have some brain washed freak hurt us we are coming for you”

Thank You Veterans for making our country a safer place. Thank you to all those in the armed forced in these though times for their service to the country. Thank you for continuing to protect us.

Neriz is in "In Search of Love"

Neriz during the Yankee baseball game told me he wished he had a son that he could take to sporting events. He was hoping he would have a wife and five kids by now, and was disappointed that he didn't find Love. Why 5 kids? because he believes in large families since he was the only kid in the household. Okay here is the deal, his parents now want him to find Love using the arranged marriage route has they believe in the Indian saying an "Unmarried Man is a Sin". Just wanted to make this clear arranged marriage does not mean it is a forced marriage. Neriz has promised to post the process of arranged mariages in another blog called "In search of Love".

The Stresses of Life

I have came across more than 1 person that is stressed this week. So many people have told me or I have seen facebook statuses that they are stressed, mad at school, etc. I know I am one of the people that are stressed too. All of these people are my friends and they all keep saying how stressed they are and it makes me just want to not be their friend anymore. We need to give all are worries and stresses over to God. He can meet all of our needs. I did not say some, I said all. This means that if you have money issues God will meet that need in however He sees fit. If its being worried over being in a relationship or not, give it to God and He will grant you His desire for your life. If you have car problems, yes, this is a stress of mine and another friend, then God will provide something for you. I am sure there are more worries and stresses I could list off but that is beside the point. Remember the verse. Cast your cares on the Lord, for he cares for you. I don't remember the reference but this verse is so true.



In conclusion, now that I have vented to whoever reads this blog, remember God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and that He loves you more than anything. We are more important to Him than His angels or any animal, plant, star, etc. God will provide in anyway He sees fit. Remember when life gets you down, to think and be positive. When parents start bugging you about relationships and financial issues, give it all to God. If you are meant to be in a relationship, then trust God that He will provide the perfect person for you. If you are meant to have financial stability, then God will provide the perfect job for that. Give all your worries to God. I hope and pray that this post will help people out.

The Contract

My family back in India and America are constantly hinting that I should get married. During my last visit to India I was even introduced to prospective matches. I even had friends and family try to set me up on dates and offer to pay membership costs on dating sites. I can’t forget the occasional email of a gal who they think would be a good match. All of this to get me married.

One of my friends, whose family is constantly trying to talk him into marriage says “Marriage is or has become a legalized institution of prostitution.” He says this cause he believes marriage is no longer for better or worst. There is always some thing that is a motivating factor for the marriage. Be it stability, security or a big old diamond ring.

It seems like Love प्यार is no more the reason why people get married. Today it’s more a business venture or for the tax brakes and other reasons. Most arranged marriages in my opinion are business ventures. Celebrities claim to be married but do not sign on the dotted line because their lawyers are still working out the prenup agreement even after weeks of the so called ceremony. Some time celebrities get married for 48 hrs or less as a publicity stunt. People will disagree with me about marriage being a business venture , then why is the divorce rate so high? In a business you can walk out of a venture if you’re not happy with it and the same is happening with marriage. I thought marriage was for better or worst then why is there an option out?

A wise man once told me “marriage is a contract be ready to wheel and deal do not let one party call the shots. Go into it ready to negotiate. The other party in the marriage may claim to have the upper hand but in reality on one person can call all the shots. You are a signatory to the contract and you will have a say. A pretty face does nothing and all your past achievements should be left at the door. If She/ he may portray that they still has options but do you know if they do. They may claim they had options before they signed the contract in a heated argument with you. Don’t believe it my friend for if they did why would they waste their time trying you? If their option is now a way out then they aren’t for you”

What has marriage become, just another business transaction?

What has happened to the sanctity of marriages? is it a joke where one can just walk out of if you are tired of the other person?

Has the meaning of marriage been lost?

Do we need a piece of paper to tell us love प्यार is legitimate?

Why do men/women change their Faith to get married with some one who has another religious Faith. Is it because you are in love with that person. What happened to loving your Faith. Shouldn't your religious Faith come before marriages of convenience and stability?

MUTE

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

You may not be aware of recent events, since last week the White House has been trying to control the free speech of Fox News. This really bothered me, since I feel the Executive Branch is overstepping it’s boundaries. The White house has said Fox News is not a news channel but a channel with opinions and has asked other channels not to follow suit.

The First Amendment gives the press the right to publish news, information and opinions without government interference. This also means that people have the right to publish their own newspapers, newsletters, magazines, etc. Which would mean Fox News shouldn’t be forced by the government on how they run their daily business.

Why is the White House trying to block freedom of press? aren’t there more important things to tend to?

The Wall

This week as I spoke to my Lawyer friend about Prop 8 issue in California, I decided I would write on separation of church and state. Not knowing what I was getting into I started out to do some research. Countless of hours later and I have a piece that I myself can't understand.

I spoke to a few people about the topic and I have come to the conclusion that very few people know what the whole church and state issue is all about.

According to the few religious leaders I spoke to, they said doctrine of "separation of church and state" has been used, and is being used, to effectively drive religion from the public square. The historical perspective on church/state issues reveals a much different story. The government was to accommodate the religious communities; religion and religious expression were to be encouraged

Politicians use the church and state issue to prey on the People in America. They use religion to their advantage once elected they would like religion to stay away from politics. Religious leaders are then encouraged to recognize wisdom in politics,however Politicians can't recognize the wisdom in religion. Is religion just a way for them to gain votes?

The question today is, Can there be an absolute separation between Church and State. If the Church would leave the business of the State alone can the State stay away from the running of the day to day activities of the Church.

Where do you stand on the issue?

Our Life, Our Message

Dear Friends,
This past week we have had a lot of emails requesting who we were and why we write here. I, Neriz even had a long 45 mins conversation on a Thursday night with a friend who hoped our endeavor failed. In this post myself and Atma Nirvana will share our stories on why we write here. Sorry for the long post.

Neriz: I was born and raised in a Christian home in Mumbai India. I grew up in a wealthy family with a golden spoon in my mouth. Being the only grandchild and the only grand son I was spoilt. Just a month before I was born my grandfather passed away. The family’s employees in the family business thought I was a reincarnation of their old boss and treated him like a king. I gave my life to Christ during the Hindu-Muslim riots at the age of twelve, but fell away from Christ at the age of 17. I became a well-known and successful DJ in India and played professional soccer. The fame and fortune led me to live a loose, promiscuous lifestyle; I started drinking alcohol doing drugs. I spent several years living in the world and eventually became hopeless and being lost. I began taking pain pills to numb the pain in my life and my heart. I continued to increase the dosage and found himself addicted to pain medication. My parents were very concerned about well being because of all of the negative pressures placed on youth in India. In an attempt to protect me, my parents sent me to the United States at the age of 21. I decided to leave the world behind and rededicate my life to Christ at the age of 23.

The Lord called me to serve Him in 2003. When the Lord called him I said why me Lord, the Lord spoke to me through one of his favorite verses John 15:16. Since then I have sought the Lord's will for my life in all that I have done. I served as a Campus Minister for one of the University of Louisville programs reaching international students and worked with Bridges International, a Campus Crusade for Christ Organization. I also led a mission trip to India and served as a youth leader and was one of the founding members of Youth for Christ-Colaba Unit, Mumbai India. I currently work for a non profit in CA.

I openly sate that I sided with the Democratic Party Platform when I first came to the United States as a young man, but now support the Republican platform. The change came after I took a long hard look at the issues.

I am just a young man in the land of dreams. This is the only place where dreams become reality. “When I came to America I did not come to live the democratic parties dream or the republican parties dream but to live the American dream.” Although it may be hard for me to achieve my dream I am working towards it. I love this country and thank it for making me a better man. I ask you join me in standing for what you believe in. If you do agree with our blogs show us your support by commenting

AtmaNirvana: I was born to a single mom who left me in a government orphanage when I was two days old. Later I was adopted by an American family who had made India their home. My adopted parents were the best parents one could have and I consider myself to be lucky to have had them has parents. Although my parents were Hippies, they took good care of me and sent me to good schools and wanted the best for me, they had a very good heart. Tragedy stuck when I was seventeen years old, an Indian family took advantage of my parents kindness and duped them of all their life savings. My parents had nothing left and they committed suicide. I was traumatized by this incident and had to drop out of high school as I had to now fend for myself. I led a street life hustling for a daily bread. During this time I saw horrible things human beings did to each other. I first hand saw how Women and kids were sexually exploited. I wanted to get away from the street life and move to greener pastures.

Through my adopted parents I was considered an American Citizen and therefore my goal was to save enough money so I could move to America. When was eighteen I had enough money saved and I immigrated to America.

In 1999, I joined the Army has I felt I owed this service to my adopted country America. The Army provided me with a daily bread and money for college. In the Army I quickly made friends and most of my best buddies to this day are from the Army.

When serving in the Army I fell in love with the most beautiful woman (she wasn’t in the army) who was a Mormon. She never practiced her faith and revolted against her parents, she used to abuse drugs and alcohol, mesmerized by her beauty and love I also started abusing drugs and alcohol and I thought I was happy with her. Because of my alcohol abuse I was close to getting kicked out of the Army but one of my higher officers intervened and gave me a second chance. I was admitted into the alcohol rehab program rather than get kicked out of the Army.

Later, 9/11 occurred, I was sent to Iraq as a soldier. I was involved in several fire fights and saw one my close friend, they officer who intervened and helped me out during my alcohol abuse, die in an IED attack. During this time my girlfriend who was back in the US broke up with me; She didn’t want to be involved with anyone religious like myself. This was hardest time of my life, I felt very lonely. I always wondered why God was testing me with hardships. I wondered why God took my parents away from me, why did He take away the good officer and why did the most beautiful girl in the world break up with me. Why God why I asked? I had totally lost faith in God and gave up on him.

One day when we were on a mission to provide security in the City of Kirkuk in Iraq (The birth place of Abraham) the strangest thing happened to me. I felt the presence of Jesus, I felt immense joy, I didn’t feel lonely anymore. He told me he was always with me. I felt the presence of the Jesus in what was considered a holy land, this was the happiest day of my life. Ever since I have never turned back on life. When I returned back to the states I went to school got my Bachelors degree.

As God acts in mysterious way, I accidentally met Neriz on a bus ride to work. We shared our stories about Jesus and I loved what Neriz was doing for the kids back in India. I decided to help him with Blog. I feel Jesus has bigger plans for me. I personally don’t believe in Politics, I feel Jesus Christ love us all, both Democrats and Republicans. His Love is immense and unconditional. My adopted parents were liberals and Democrats, the officer who helped me was a Republican, Jesus Christ sent them at the right time to help me out without consideration to their political affiliations. Therefore my goal is to reach out to the unreached and spread the word of Jesus. Please share the message of our blog to your friends and family.

Chicago Or Iran

My friends and I were reflecting on the events of the last month. One of us stated “The last month has been a crazy month. Iran trying off their nuclear war heads, the earthquakes in Indonesia and the tsunami in American Samoa to top it off.” I knew what was on their mind. If there is a God, why did he not stop the natural calamities from happening? Why does he let bad things happen to good people?

As humans we need an answer to every thing. We also don’t like to take responsibility for any thing that causes a negative impact on our lives or the lives of others. We need a scapegoat, some one who won’t answer back. God is made an easy target.

We generally blame God for all the bad things that happen to us. We loose our job, why God why ? Your hybrid brakes down. What do you do, blame it on God? Your girlfriend or boyfriend dumps you, God why? Calamities around the world, blame that on God too. Could it be that things happen because of our own stupidity?

Newton stated that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This would only mean that the disasters were connected to some major human activity. What a coincidence that Iran tested their nuclear war heads, and then we have the earthquakes in Indonesia followed by the tsunami in Samoa. It's a well known fact that testing of nuclear weapons creates shockwaves in the Earth, triggering earthquakes and tsunamis around the world.

If we did not concentrate on Chicago's bid for the 2016 olympics and rather concentrated on making America and the World a safer place from its enemies. Could all the disasters have been avoided?

Hollywood Idols

This week David Letterman disclosed in his show that he secretly held sexual relationships with young female staff members, and most of these staff members eventually got promoted to higher positions in his show.

I live in a very liberal city , I asked the opinion of some of my male and female friends about David Letterman. They stated David Letterman is a "cool and chill dude", whatever he did was just between him and his wife to deal with and not for others to discuss. I was truly amazed with the liberal double standards. Here is a person that made jokes of Governor Palin and her daughters and now has taken advantage of young interns. I tried to speak about this man's transgression to my friends and that they should not look up to him. I told them why office sexual favors is inappropriate behavior and reflects on the organization's integrity,but all in vain my friends ostracized me for speaking against David Letterman.

Incidentally this month more Hollywood vice was on the news, from MacKenzie Philips to Polanski. Why is Hollywood speaking in favor of Polanski's transgressions, is it okay to sedate and rape a 13 year old? May be in Hollywood it is okay!

So if youth in America consider Hollywood celebrities to be role models. what about youth in the rest of the world? Hollywood widely releases its movies all over the world. Youth all over the world quickly pick up the lose morals of Hollywood such has drugs, sex and alcohol causing moral decadency in society.

What has happened to parents being good role models for their kids? Why isn't Jesus Christ a good role model? Why do most celebrities oppose movies based on Jesus Christ?

America is a world leader and the rest of the world looks up to us. If the best thing that comes out of America is Hollywood, what kind of role models are we to the rest of the world?

Empower them to succeed don’t stereotype them to fail

Dear friends

We need to empower the young people to succeed. This week I spoke with people about our blog and how we are working on helping children. As I spoke to them I asked them a question what comes to mind when you think of children in 3rd world countries.

Words such as malnutrition, child labor, sex slaves, poverty, were the words that people used to describe what came to the mind of those I spoke with.

I then went on to ask them what they thought was going to become of these kids when they grew up.

The answers were an eye opener for me and the people around me. They came up with professions like day labors, prostitution, drug and alcohol addict and gang bangers were the one that stood out.

We tend to stereotype people. I remember a college of mine and I were talking about politics in the Indian sub continent. He made a statement that makes me feel sick in my stomach. He said “if any think happened to the Indian sub continent where would we in America get our sports ball and mitts made.”

This kind of a statement makes me sick.

The founding fathers thought differently. In the Declaration of independence it states

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. ( Declaration of independence)

By this statement I understzand that every one is created equal. There is no difference between a child born on the greatest nation on gods green earth and a child orphaned when they lost one or both parents to AIDS,

We should also not doom a child’s future in a country stricken by poverty just because of his surroundings.

We should empower them to succeed them not stereotype them as a failure based on some thing that is not in their control.

As an adult I am stereotyped but I can overcome it. To a child we are just programming him to have low self esteem in the future and programming to fail.

Peace and Salvation in this economy

This week Atma Nirvana and I met for breakfast to discuss some of life’s complex questions. We spoke about Peace  and Salvation. As we spoke about Peace in the journey of Life we came up with what we this is a way to attain peace. We believe that to attain peace one has to eliminate the want to attain more than what we require. We also need to remove jealousy from our life. We went a step further to connect peace with salvation ( मोक्ष ).

I have written a Poem that I would like to share with you all about life in these though times.  I personally know about my salvation and open to share it in person or upon request.

MS Hollywood

Millions like me

Come to thee

With dreams and not reality

Only to broken

For thee is a harsh mistress

Please be kind to me

Don’t break me

But mold me

Away from this reality

That leads to the recession

O the good old recession

That’s causing us to lead

In a vast depression

Where do I attain peace?

Is there salvation for me?

We first cut our memberships

To the places of luxury

Gyms and parlors

Close thy doors to us

For do we eat

Or do I look good starving

Do we keep our roof?

Or look at the stars

As we cry our self to sleep

We weep on our foolish past

Now we blame it on the recession

O the good old recession

That’s causing us to lead

In a vast depression

Where do I attain peace?

Is there salvation for me?

You took our dreams

Then our vanity

What next for thee

For the assurance of health

The insurance rises.

For they are a cruel system

That increases their rate

 Based on just a date

They don’t care for our health

All they do is raise their wealth

Even in the recession

O the good old recession

That’s causing us to lead

In a vast depression

Where do I attain peace?

Is there salvation for me?


P.S. Please share with us how you think one attains salvation.

Save a penny for a rainy day. I have a few tips how

My friend in his poem states how he longs for work. The words of advice I can give him is save a penny. I remember you guys laughing at me for being penny wise. I would like to share with you why I was and am that way.

When you come from a country with over a billion people to a land where $1= Rs. 50 or so and PENNY is Rs.5. every penny counts. I don’t care if it’s a penny on the ground that most people say u spend more energy to pick up than it is worth. Being Indian we also have to take into consideration that in America we don’t have an uncle or an auntie to give us job security. We are all replaceable. With another more efficient cheaper version or as with a newer model that may just be in India. It’s like a compute operating system is the same just product in new packaging. Same Indian mind new Indian body.

To most Americans it may be funny when we Indians do stuff to save money. To an American its foolish. To an Indian its being wise. There is a logical explanation for each one of those

1. Wash paper plate and plastic silver ware (its only curry and look at it from this prospective the plate now has a modern art design on it)
2. buy 100 rolls of toilet papers when we see it on sale ,
3. We never buy bin bags, but use your saved grocery bags for it. (We need to cut down on plastic it’s not bio degradable. Those bags need to be good for my trash)
4. You feel like you got a good deal if you didn't pay tax (with the sales tax at 9.75 in Ca who wouldn’t)
5. You only make long distance calls after 9 pm
6. Or that we think that $1 is a good tip its (Rs. 50 for crying out loud. that can feed a child for a week in India)
7. We head towards the clearance section as soon as you walk into a store (It may be outdated fashions in America its new to me.)
8. Buy A small drink at fast food restaurant (the refill are free)
9. We drink plain water instead of Coke for lunch (it’s free and good for you 2)
10. We frequent to garage sales every week (one mans trash is another mans treasure)
11. You will find fast-food sauce packets in your kitchen drawer (it’s good to cook with they just gonna throw it in the trash if u don’t take it home)
12. We buy a Toyota or Honda car only because it has better resale value (who doesn’t want to get the most bang for their buck)
13. We go back to your apartment for lunch (we know what we cook is healthy)
14. We know all the $2.00 theaters in your city (the movie is just a month old and I haven’t seen it yet)
15. We pay our bills the day they come in the mail (why pay the huge fees)
16. We spend 2 days cleaning your apartment before leaving so you can get full security refund from landlord ( hey its hard earned and its only fair that I took the apartment clean I return it clean)
17. We always have a coupon for lunch. (Being in advertising I know that the coupons were designed for advertising. We are just carrying out a service by letting the advertiser know he is doing some thing right and its working.) I wonder why people are embarrassed by coupons.

A funny story about the last point. My friend and I were sitting at a restraint and checking out what coupon we want to use. Another friend walked in and he said. No wonder u guys are single. My friend looks at him and said. If I found a girl from back home she would have joined me and taken out a coupon for free drinks and fries with that to add to the order. She would just get the most bang for her buck.

If you look at some of the things we do not only saves money but is also saving the planet. In addition I can also make the argument that is reducing waste. I Live in Los angles now and we need to save for a rainy day. Especially with the recession! So my friends be penny wise don’t judge some one who is an immigrant for being frugal. I guess we can learn a thing or two from them how they save and work hard for future generations to succeed and how to pay our bills on time and live in debt. 

P.S.
We also have a load of cash in the matteress from all those years of being penny wise

As bills and junk letters fill my cage

sadness creeps into my fragile heart

All I seek is bread and a woman's warmth

Why deny me I ask God?

It’s the economy stupid whispers the silent God

fill out more applications and watch the mailbox

"The Pursuit of vanity robs you of your sanity and a vain man is like a insane man".... I came up with it

I would say I am an above average young man. Just trying to make it. Being single and being human I am attracted to the opposite sex. When I look at a girl there may be a physical attraction or not, that dose not qualify me to date them nor dose it disqualify them. I would like to rather get to know the girl on the inside. Physical beauty is only skin deep. Is it that hard to believe that nice guys do exists. Is it outrageous for me to make a comment, that your body is not the only thing that I am interested in?


Being a former Dj I have dated a lot of very beautiful gals. But I have fallen in love only once with a gal who did not even come close to being in the same league physicaly . She was two leagues above them when I looked at her from the inside. She was not with me cause I took her to the hottest club in town. She was with me cause she loved me. She made me a better person. I may be in love now but wouldn’t know cause the girl who and I care about and myself has not discussed it.


Ladies if I can look past the physical appearance and want to get to know you the real you. Why cant women look past my flaws. Why can’t you look at me for me and not disqualify me for not working out and having a six pac any more. May be I am just meeting the wrong women. Would you rather have a guy who I used to be? A dj and guy who played organized sports with a cigarette in one hand a glass in the other and woman around my neck. Or would you rather have a guy who has been there done that and has change.



Ladies please comment and give me your opinions on

Is life all bout vanity?

Do women like bad boys more than a good guy?

Should I just be a jerk again to be in love again?

“Beauty is not real. Beauty only exists in perception.”

After a lot of soul आत्मा searching I have come to realize beauty is just a perception.

What is considered ideal beauty in some regions of the world may not be considered ideal beauty in another region. Light skin is considered to be beautiful in most Tropical countries, while in most Nordic countries pale skin is not favored.

Why do humans have such warped concepts of beauty? Why do people in one part of the world spend so much of their hard earned money on skin lightening products, while the other spends it on tanning products?. Why do we blame bad genetics for our looks?

Nature (genetics) has the best intentions for us. One should know that dark skin in the tropics is beneficial to prevent harsh sun light from damaging ones skin. Similarly, in the Nordic regions, were sunlight (vitamin D) is scarce it is advantageous to have pale skin. So why do we adore something we don’t have and that won’t work in our advantage?.

Because insecurities sell. Cosmetics, Plastic Surgery, Hair restoration, etc is a huge profitable industry. In the business world creating such insecurities based on beauty helps some one get rich. Unlike nature, the business world does not have our best interests in mind दीमक.

The great Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran said it best.

“Beauty is not in the face; beauty is light in the heart”

The Naked Truth

Men are simple. Ladies Men are not that complicated. Why do women make things more complex than they should be

This week i was told that by a gal I have too much game was that code for me being a player. It may have seemed that I was playing the game but all i was doing is not letting the game play me. I was just protecting my self. holding my cards close to my chest so as to not expose my hand and also to protect my heart. I have known this gal for a couple of years, she is white and is cute. We chatted off and on and its been a couple of weeks that we have been talking on a regular basis . The comment about me having too much game actulay took me by surprise.

Some may say intercultural relationships don't work. Some may say find a girl in India and have an arrange marriage. Is it wrong to try and find Love (Pyar). Is it wrong for me to be happy now or should i nurture the love in girl i hardly know.

I may actually have a thing for this gal. Its just that women have so many layers that we guys have to peal to find the real HER. I just don't wanna get hurt cause i did not peal enough of her layers to find the real her.

I don't know if she feels the same way for me , and am not sure weather to expose my feelings. What if she dose not feel that way.

Just like most guys i have a fear of rejections. I don't wanna get hurt i wrote this poem of how i feel

my heart has been broken In the past
into a million pieces
riped out of my chest
trampled like a rose
upon the ground
i just long
for the clay maker
to mold me
and the glue to hold me through
that one person to make me whole again
why couldn't I just find you

if I have found you

why wont u nurture me to be new

dont hide your emotions from me

dont build wall

for me to tear down

this is no longer a game

am i just another name

just some guy

who has lost his way

please find me

and make me new again

please help me find my way

lucky in gamble not lucky in pyar

I am starting to believe an old saying that i am unlucky in प्यार (love) just lucky in the gambleof life. As i played poker with my buddies today i just could not loose. But when it came to women i just could not win.

But then isn't love a gamble, if so then I should hold my cards close to my chest. Today i just kept dealing my self the wrong cards. It was one of those days when i just said all the wrong things and pressed all the wrong nerves of the people around me. I guess i was just tired. A man is a fool when he is tired. If you are reading this my bad, i guess my stalkers did mess with my head causing my game to fall

I always thought i had game. when it came to love I thought I was a player. Today I just could not play it at all, but on the tables I had the hot hand all night.

Then there are those days that i know a penny in the slots is a penny lost cause my love radar is whacked those days. I am smooth as butter on ice when it comes to the love gene. Is that some kind of sigh that me being a man that we can’t multi task.

Why could i not have it on the tables and in प्यार (love). i guess u cant be good at both one has to choose. cant have ur cake and eat it
