  1. oops, that quote is from the film The Secret in their eyes..

     

    One more from the same film..

     

    "You have come to the end of your life and want to look backwards. My whole life has been lived forward. I can't look back; backwards is out of my jurisdiction. I declare myself incompetent."

  2. I have been watching a lot of Spanish movies lately.

     

    Saw this one last night. It's called , The Secret in Their Eyes (El Secreto de Sus Ojos). This film has won the Best Foreign Language Oscar.

     

    Expertly written, played and directed. The actors really have eyes that speaks a thousand words.. One of the nicest romantic mystery I have seen till date.

     

    The wonder is that the film balances its many genres, from the horrific rape and murder to the bloom of romance to the ugly politics, with such easy grace. And I loved the Dialogues. Very real, very deep and just when required. Some may find the movie a bit slow.. but I loved the pace by which it opens up the mystery.

     

    I don't know the names of the Actors.. but the two main characters are just awesome Actors.

     

    I highly recommend :thumbsup:

  3. :lol: Oh not to worry, it will work out. We're already 4 years into the 'relationship' and we've known each other . 1.5/2 years away won't hurt us. We'll sort it out. Besides we've each already told our parents and hers wanted to get us engaged :roflroll: Engaged at 22 now that would have been the joke of the year. Only issue is her mum who's a bit too traditional in the ways of the crossbelt / tambrahm. Whereas I'm a heretic (in that woman's mind) who will gladly eat anything that moves :P Such issues I'm sure will sort themselves out in my favor because I've brainwashed the daughter well enough over the course of her life.

     

    Still, all said and done, it's gonna be hard without her (and even harder for her) while I'm away. :( But she's worth it, few girls these days who'll listen to your every word, change their lifestyles for you and be happy about it but still give you an opinion when you're wrong without walking out on you or getting too possessive. Plus there are certain other practical advantages to her as well. And not to sound crude, but nothing like getting a car whose usage history you know and isn't secondhand :naughty: .

     

     

     

    And yeah, I kinda hate the assumption that some of my friends ( I mean the already committed ones who are going into a long-distance phase ) make regarding long-distance relationships being tough to maintain and take it upon themselves to go easy and cheat on their GFs given a chance thinking "what they know can't hurt them". Yeah, I've known several such people. Work hard enough and be faithful and I don't see why it shouldn't succeed except for parental pressure on the girl's side.

     

     

    :surprise:

     

    These words from you is something I could never imagine.. Always considered you a guy with sane head and ability to excel..with heart at the right place.

     

    I also believe that you really love your girlfriend for the person she is, rather than the person you have made out of her.. You may have your reasons to not like her Mom, but brainwashing her against her own parents is not advisable. Whoever they are, they are her parents. Similarly, If you love the person, accept their past, embrace their present and wish well for their future. Them being second hand or third hand has nothing to do with it.

     

    I am sure you just wrote it out of sense of humor gone wrong.. but keep away from display of such opinion, when your feelings for your girls are sincere and deep, which I for one, definitely know.

     

    As for Long distance Relationships. It is as simple or as complex as any serious relationship. It needs Love, Trust, Effort, Communication and Space.. Thats it!! I would really recommend everyone to take it as a test..before you commit to your BF/GF.. LDR, really has the potential to test your patiance, love, honesty and trust. If you can love when you are away from each other, remain sincere when no one is watching.. You have got the basics right!! :coolspeak:

  4. Well, as for women being confused, had this happen to me a week or two ago. I have like 2 weeks left now before I leave for my studies and not return for atleast a year and a half. So I was talking a week back to my girlfriend and she kinda got angry all of a sudden and didn't talk to me for half a day (quite out of character) and I was all :ko: . Next morning she's all love u this that and I asked why she got pissed off for something minor and stopped talking and she says "I can't get angry with you after 3 weeks anymore can I? :cry: " ... so then instead of making the most of the little time left together her first priority is to get mad at me for half a day? :rofl: Women surely are very very complex.

     

     

    Cute.. I also like roothna manana.. Its fun.. Adds spice to love..

  5. Ok...i got the impression that she only wanted me back in her life as a friend. After meeting her at the parlour i realized how much i missed my toddler days with her. We were inseperable. Being the mischievous brat that i was back then i thought by giving her a peck it would only remind her that i was still that same brat. Infact she herself hasn't changed that much and when you add up all of this i really didn't want to lose her as a friend. When i give any woman a peck its a sign of affection and not lust.

     

    And about misunderstanding clues, you women must admit that the whole lot of you give off the wrong signs every now and then. We men are not always at fault. But that's not the worst part; all women tend to cover up their mistakes with rational explanations when they unintentionally mislead us men more often then not. Most women are shy to admit their own feelings and become defensive when we men equally reciprocate. I can understand if the reason why women do this is because they don't want to appear as an "easy" target, but c'mon, its unfair on your part to expect us men to always take the blame :doh:

     

    P.S - i gave her a peck on the cheek

     

     

    haha.. Peck on the Cheek in her Clinic!!! :bigyellowgrin:

     

    This reminds me, when Once I was conducting a Training on what can be termed as Sexual Harassment And the appropriate Body Language at Work.

     

    We did a role-play and I was surprised as how much the perception of What is appropriate and what is not , differs between a Man and a Woman.

     

    Whether it is, touch, or distance between the two when you stand and talk, or usage of words, kind of jokes and even hugs and pecks and stuff.. Different women with different social backgrounds may like or dislike the same behavior. With Men, there perceptions were found to be mostly generic.

     

    So, when a man thinks that "OOh! she is flirting with me.. let me get close with her!" , She may actually be thinking.. "This guy is fun. And I am in a good mood and so let's tease him a bit with a little flirting" But obviously, she does not want more than that..

    Ofcourse, there are different levels with different people, if a girl herself is attracted then, she would like the guy to come close and initiate intimacy.. Tough signs to catch.. But with experience you will learn.. :scratchchin:

  6. Sigh ... i was hoping that it was her boyfriend who kept her away from classes ... i feel like :suicide:

     

    Recently, around 3 weeks ago, i caught up with an old friend on FB. We were best friends as toddlers and shared everything. I always had a habit of giving her a peck back then.

     

    In the first week she kept calling me and insisted that i keep in touch with her. Considering the fact that we're meeting after 18 years, i found this a bit odd and held back a bit. She told me that it was hightime she got married and was on the lookout for a hubby. Two weeks henceforth, we meet up at an icecream parlour; all goes well. After that i open up to her and made plans for a movie. But the movie doesn't happen cos i couldn't get tickets in time. She accused me of trying to avoid her and sounded a little upset. After that she stopped calling. To make it up to her i scheduled an appointment(she's a dentist btw) with her receptionist for a checkup. I gave the receptionist my old nickname. I wanted to buy her flowers too but decided against it since it wouldn't ne appropriate.

     

    She was very surprised to see me at her clinic on the day of the appointment and i could make out she was trying to hide her happiness :clap3: Just as she finished giving examining my mouth, i pulled her close gave her a peck on the cheek like i used to when we were kids and asked her to spend more time with me. She said she'd think about it with a weak smile. This was 4 days ago and since then ahe hasn't kept in touch. I called her but no answer. Was it a bit too much? Did i scare her? :wallbash:

     

     

    a) Just because a girl got excited after meeting her Bachpan ka friend on Facebook doesnt mean she is ready to be in a relationship with him

    B) Just because a girl gave you a tight friendly hug, doesn't mean she wants you to kiss her.

    c) She was happy to see you in her clinic as it was indeed a cute surprise, but holding her and giving her a peck at her place of work.. when you have not even dated her, or met her that many times as grown -up friends is sure gonna startle her.. may be even piss her off.

     

    This is a major problem.. Sometimes guys just misunderstand physical clues.. So, if a girls, touch your shoulder, or hands while talking or give you a hug.. and is only laughing and having a good time ith you.. she does not expect you to hold her and kiss her.. Really!! :scarerun:

  7. All the popular names pouring their heart out in this thread :ha:

     

     

    Not really..

     

    It would be when Sam and Pushy, MT and Snake, Bulovski and Reaper and many other Celebrities of IVG, will pour their heart out here on this thread..

     

    But yeah.. it's a good beginning never the less..

     

    Remember, it 's alway better to take second opinion, espacially in the matters of heart..

  8. Women Oh Women , Why dont you keep things simple ? Why are you so complex and confused ?

     

     

    I recommend you watch this film called " Socha Na Tha"

     

    I have met and known Men who are way too complex, confused. Their heart loves someone but their mind asks them to not commit. Then their brain tells them to listen to parents and get that girl mom likes and just then they meet the most perfect girl they ever thought exist and fall in love.Then they get married and realise they were not ready for it and flirt around at work like a Khulla Sand..

     

    Women are confused and complex, I agree. So are Men. It's this funny thing called love that can make simple things very complex, complicated, ecstatic and miserable all at the same time.

  9. I did send her a message telling her i was sorry about my behaviour after waiting two weeks to see if she'd attend classes again. I told her that i only wanted what was best for her and she told me she had a wonderful boyfriend. But she never attended classes again which i thought was pretty foolish! :(

     

    Could it be that her boyfriend didn't want her to have anything to do with me? I'm saying this assuming she told her boyfriend about our inconsequential episode, atleast that's what i honestly felt ...

     

     

    I don't think it's her boyfriend that is keeping her off you. I think she is too hurt and upset and would rather distract herself and focus on her current relationship than meet you in the classes and think about good times and what ifs and why??

     

    Girls do that. If someone breaks their heart they just go silent, leave and that's it. Let her be. Take this as an experience and move on.

  10. maybe agony aunt can help me out with this, so here goes.

     

    so my ex gf who got engaged recently calls me up and says that i accompany her to some tattoo parlour in bandra which i gladly refuse cause i think i might end up shelling the monies for it. later i enquire about what sort of tattoo she's planning to get and she says she gonna make 'miss u *her fiancee's name*' in some fancy font at which point im like WTF :mellow:

     

    so my question is how do i get her to not talk to me. i tried the easy way out (by abusing her) and the hard way (by ignoring her calls/msg etc) but after a short while we make up and end up hanging out together. i dont think she even wants to be 'just friends' and just a couple of weeks ago both of us had a rundown where she asked what sort of importance she had in my life to which i replied none....zero...zilch and she stopped talk to me until yesterday.

     

    now since her marriage is confirmed to be taking place in december i want her out of my life permanently. im sh*t scared that she might go all filmy and run from her marriage and end up at my doorstep which would be :suicide:

     

     

    KC my friend.. The problem is that even though you may not admit it, "You are still in Love with this girl"

     

    Understandably so.. You guys have a many years long history, you always loved her.. Her engagement to some other NRI, must have broken your heart, you must have tried to escape, throw her out of your mind, but she appeared again and again.. and you decided to stay just one last time. The problem is , there is no closure here, for either of you to stay or to move on.

     

    As I see it, there are only two ways in this situation. If you love her and want her.. it's not too late as yet.

     

    Take her out. Tell her that you love her and she is playing childish game. Mostly people tatoo to the names of their partners to prove the world or to themselves their love which they in their heart know, does not exist. When you are aware of your love for someone, it just flows and needs no tatoo or drama. So, tell her that there is still time. Ask her to break her engagement, get back to you and give this relationship a chance because even you know that she loves you. If she understads, support her, speak with parents and make it happen. Trust me this is not as filmy as it sounds and one of my best friend has done it and they are happy now. Tell her that marraige is not a joke. If she does not love that NRI, chances are two years down the line, her life, her fiancee's life and your life are all bound to be an unhappy one. So better be brave now and do something about it.

     

    Or else, just decide to completely throw yourself out of her life. Meet her and tell her that you deny to be used as a "Good Friend" anymore. You had love to offer her, which she obviously does not need now, and you cannot be a "step gap arrangement" between her and her would be life partner. So you wish her well and are cutting all chords from her. And then DO THAT!

     

    All the Best.

  11. Exciting? You're joking right? Our common friends are always asking me what i did to them ... And i keep telling them i have no clue myself ... it came to an end and that's that ...

     

    Plus remember what the the Hebrew Text says - God counts the tears of women :fear1:

     

    I think you should meet that school friend once.. She dislike you since you ve hurt her. She tried to be nice with you, but you behaved in an insensitive manner.

     

    Meet her, say that u r sorry if you have hurt her. Tell her that u cherish the time spent with her, and that u wish her well. And then move on.

    She will never bitch about you, and most probably even respect u for your maturity eventually.

    Besides, you will Feel good and light..

  12. Btw guys ... When a woman holds a grudge against someone, especially someone who meant a lot, is it forever? Will she ever forgive that person and move on? :(

     

    For me, I suffer from bad memory so mostly forhet reasons to hold grudge...

    But if someone hurt or upsets me big time, and If that person is really special to me, I would rather confront him and talk, and may be even forgive.. And then will let it go...

     

    But if that person is not so special.. I would just forgive him, and forget him as well!!

     

    Can do without the baggage of holding grudges :)

  13. @sameuun:

    Buddy , a few of your posts have clearly suggested that you dont have any remote sense of relationships, etiquettes, english, sense of humour and even common sense. I would suggest you go open up a thread for learning each of the above-mentioned things, and maybe 3-4 years down the road after learning them, u r chances to get into a relationship will increase from negative to zero .

     

    Well said.. Godspeed..

    And milo... Thats giving up too soon, buddy.
