Is LOVE really enough???

sometimes in life u r faced with a questions that threaten to tear u down n force
u to re-evaluate everything.
The question plaguing me at the moment is "Is Love really enough???"
if u have ever cared about anyone in your life u ll know what i m talking about.

(dont think i have gone all soft on u because i have not its just that even macho
a**holes like me need to think from time to time :)

Coming back to my point, if u love a girl and i mean love her like u would take a
bullet for her, run into blazing fire for her,give up heaven and burn in hell for
all eternity just to spend an extra moment with her (I think u get my point)
and she loves u back the same way

(at least u like to think so because when it comes to girls i guess u can never
be too sure.Call me commitment phobic all u want but its true both the phobia
and the stuff about girls)

so is love then really enough? What if she dosent understand u at all???
What do u do when on one hand u love her very much and on the other she is
driving u crazy. In such a situation u know that u cant stand being without her
but u also know that u cannot stand being with her.So what do u do????

Its not like u are tryin to explain to her the fundamentals of rocket science!
all u are askin for is a patient hearing with a willingness to understand.


now some of u reading this may say stuff like:
"Rocket science is easy but love is hard"

or

"Love is the greatest human mystery"

or

"Love conquers all"


all i have to say to such folks is "stop bullshittin urself"

what most people fail to understand is that "SORRY" is not the end of all troubles
but in a vast majority of the cases it is just the beginning.


so WHAT I WANT GIRLS TO UNDERSTAND (n boys too but most guys
already do so m not mentioning specifically)

is when to say sorry.

-dont be sorry u had a fight.
-dont use sorry as a avoidance tactic(Although there are exceptions to this rule)
-just to avoid an on coming fight
trust me its better to fight n get things sorted than leave problems unattended
bec if problems are unattended sooner or later they will come back to haunt u.

in short DONT SAY SORRY JUST FOR THE SAKE OF IT bec u may think we
are dum but we know when u dont mean it.


so i suggest u say sorry only when u know what u have done wrong
i dunno y girls NEVER ask guys why they r mad its not like we like fightin or
that we love stayin mad n if asked all guys do have a proper explanation.

say sorry only when u are convinced and have realized what went wrong.

and most imp:: dont go on an egoistic journey leave it upto ur guy he has pleny
of it and plenty of experience goin on ego trips also



WHAT I WANT BOYS to understand:

unlike girls boys always know what they have done wrong and what
they should be sorry for but still they never say sorry

my advice:

if u ve done it n got caught(should have been more sensible)

or

hurt the one u love

tell her u r sorry (try it its easy to pronounce)

(except if u loved her ur whole life n cared for her n she hurt u for life by
sayin stuff that cant be forgiven bec only u know how bad u r hurtin n if
she threw a tantrum in public(second time right outside ur home) n has
no consideration for u or ur dreams or ur feelings or ur broken heart n is
really proud of all the above facts n is not even sorry she hurt u but is sorry
jst for the sake of it not for the tantrum,not for hurtin u but just to get the
fight over.....hurts dosent it to know that she really dosent understand)


[the above situation is just hypothetical i mean no1 can be that mean can
they i think i went a little too far in my imagination no1 in real life can be
that cruel]

So in conclusion i feel that for any relationship to be wholesome and satisfying
u need understandin as much as u need love.

just like it dosent matter how great u understand each other if u dont love each
other

no matter how much u love each other if u arent willing to undestand ur
relationship is never going to work.(sad but true)


its all free advice take it or leave it ur choice

nd if u r one of the lucky one's n have sum1 special to spend this valentines
with sum1 to tell u that u r loved...........lemme tell u i envy u

Well at least u dont have to spend Valentines like me with two ladies
miss Whiskey and madam Vodka

bye 4 now

XAVERIAN CHRONICLES part 1

by Robin S. Joseph

How many people do you know would sacrifice even their left nut for u n u for them???

and the criteria is:
1) Its not ur girlfriend
2) not ur parents
3) not ur family
4) not ur pet dog

1 maybe 2,5 and if u r really lucky 10?
Well as 4 me i knew over a hundred such people
Hard to believe huh?
Well that was the magic of a boys school called SXD(St. Xaviers Doranda)

And when i look back now i realise the true value and extent of the friendship we shared.
Actually we shared more much more...
As any ex xaverian (at least of my batch) would tell u we shared not only our TIFFINS but also our
LIVES (WIVES also rhymes with LIVES and i know what u r thinkin and the ans is NO HELL NO)


Heck, now that i think of it we were each others lives.Each of us were an integral part of each others lives.
What do u expect when you spend upto 8 hrs a day with the same guys for 11 years straight???
They are as much part of ur life as u r of theirs.
I know 4 certain that these 100 fellows that i speak of have in some way helped make me (4 better or for worse) the
person that i am today. :)


here i will try to list down memories of my friends from those days:

(friends listed in no particular order jst the order in which they come to my mind)

1) Souvik Mitra:
We used to call him "Churan"/"Churu" n he used to call me "Vindoo" or "Windoo"
He is probably 1 of the most descent and well behaved human beings i ever met.
But strangely enough he had quite a reputation 4 inflicting pain on quite a few
hence earning him the nickname "Churan" (no pun intended)
But what he didnt know was we let him be churan only for 2 reasons:
1)otherwise he would go all jackie chan on us
2)bec we loved him so much

One day all his activities as Churan came to an end this was the day he got his as* kicked by
Bhushan.This is our lil secret.Dont worry Churu i wont tell a soul. :)

A fact that only a few ppl know about him is that he is one fine story teller!
He used to tell me stories of all hindi movies he had watched while we used to run on the track.
I still remember the expressions on his face while he qouted dialogues from "Munna Bhai MBBS"

As i mentioned earlier(Oh wait maybe i didn't) he was an absolute mama's boy n y not his mum is really loving :) i still
rmember how he had only a few hair strands that he could call a beard n that too were plucked off
from time to time by his mum. :)
I remember he always used to bring the same thing in tiffin paraathas(triangular shaped) n aloo
in a small rectangular container in his tiffin.

Oh Yeah most important fact about churu
he has really tiny fingers (and believe me when i say tiny i mean child like)




2)Shashank Shekhar Katyayan:
his name was shashank and we used to call him shashank but for some strange reason
he preferred Shekhar over Shashank but i think Shashank is how i shall always remember this
awesome friend of mine.

He was what u would call evenly balanced in all spheres.He among all of us had the most practical approach
towards life.He n i shared the same passion for (no not wat u r thinking) computers.
he is a rockstar now n i hope his band does well n i get back stage passes to their performances
when they get famous.

I remember many things about him but a few memories that stand out are:
1) the way we used to advocate the use of p3 processors over p4 bec both of us hadnt upgraded
2) he told me once "robin, it dosent matter how,lean thin,fragile or weak a guy is, if u mess
with his sister he will go all bruce lee on ur as*"
(P.S.--->Shashank if u r reading this i m paraphrasing)
3) birthday parties at his house
4) his huge dog (biggest german shepard ever like it was on steroids or sumthin)



3)Ishan Kumar Basu:
He was a man with a world of his own. He is one of the few if not the only guy who
wore braces with pride.Big wwe Brock Lesnar fan.Tried unsuccessful FUs and f5s on almost all of us.
He was and most probably still is one of the most laid back n tension free ppl i have ever met.
Nothing can rattle him.

He was such a big brock lesnar fan that i think he even dreamed of delivering FUs
He was one of those ppl that u absolutely know will turn out to be the guy who drinks the most beer at
any party.(n i mean that as a compliment)

wat i remember best about him is how while playing smackdown over at shashank's
i kicked his as* to kingdome come even after he delivered 29 stunners to me.
(A feat that can be acomplished only in the virtual world of wwe smackdown)

4)SUMO:
Its a shame i dont even remember his real name.
He was the biggest guy in our group at just under 6ft (then) n gigantic frame. He sure was a physical
specimen compared to us.
He had a unique way of walkin it was as if he knew that the rest of the world was smaller than him
and that he had all the time in the world
But he has changed almost as much as i have since those days.
Now He's believe it or not skinny!!!!
due to factors such as hard work and a few other vices(if u know wat i mean)


5) Rahul Singh:
A.K.A. JAVA or Javaman
i dont remember y we used to call him that (nebody who remembers is free to comment)
he was my bench mate 4 many years.
he n i were the laqnguage toppers of our class
while i held fort at English he was the champion of Hindi

He was the most determined n hardworking among us.
He always had aims both short and long term set for himself and he would work relentlesly to achieve them.

things i remember about him:
1)his fabulous tiffins
2)he was the only person i ever saw who ate maggi curry
3)he had an unlimited supply of hide n seek biscuits
4) the way he used to say "DOWN DOWN DOWN ....." which was generally his way of
saying that u had just been humiliated
He has a girlfriend now whom he loves very much n reffers to as his jaan.
They make a cute couple.
I wish em all the best in life.

6)Ankit Anant Seraphim:
now most of u r goin who????
are koi nai m talking about apna HOMO yaar
we used to call him HOMO. (u guess the reasons)
he is one of the most childish guys i have ever met (in a good sense though)
his activities always put a smile upon all our faces :)
in a group of hundred u can expect him to come up with the most bewildering n incredibly stupid comments
although he is a fun guy to hang out with certain things about him still remain a mystery like:
why he chose the name seraphim.fmachine for his email id (i mean does he really think he is an f machine ???)


few memories i have of him:
1)the way he went without bathing for a month (true story) untill finally his mum did us all
a favour and forced him to.

2)he once told me his father had all the sctatches on his car counted!!!!

3)The first time i got drunk in my life was at his birthday party.
(I bet Souvik remembers this)


all comments from ex xaverians are welcome..
Welll thats it for now ill continue writing about my friends in part 2 of this article..
m tired n sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

to be continued.....

11-1 tell tale signs that you are in deep sh*t

-Robin S. Joseph

1) When your report card/mark sheet is being handed to you and everybody is happy!
(P.S. if this were to happen to me i d probably have a heart attack)

the saying that you cant please everybody holds true for all activities performed by all
human beings in the universe

So in order to maintain the balance of the universe u must fulfill at least 1 of the following
criteria:
1) you must have a back in at least 1 subject
2) you should score unexpectedly low in ur favourite subject
3) you should have at least 1 qualified peson (parent/teacher) ready to criticize ur performance
(no matter how good) open heartedly

if none of these happen and all are happy well then that's just the universe's way of telling
you something has gone terribly wrong (translation :: u r either in or are soon goin to be in deep sh*t)


2) When you are extremely late for class n then u enter expecting a thunderstorm but ur teacher
just smiles at u.This can mean just two things.

1) you r his/her favourite student :)
2) havent you heard about the silence before the storm??? Most probably your teacher knows u
all too well.he/she knows that a little public humiliation is not going to make u mend your
ways and as such is saving up all of his/her energy and waiting 4 the right moment upon arrival
of which not even GOD will be in a condition to have mercy on ur slacking soul!


3) when u r sitting in the exam hall n ur question paper is handed to u, u look at it then
u stand up and announce to ur invigilator that u have been handed the wrong question paper bec u r a student
of the subject xyz and suddenly everybody starts lauging...:)))))))
this point is self explanatory.
(P.S. for those of u who still didn't get it here is a clue they r not laughing at the invigilator)


4) when u have u r xams tomorrow and like me u belive i n 1 night stands b4 xams either 1
of the following happens tonight:
1) india vs pakistan match goin on
2) FIFA world cup finals
3) your house gets flooded with rain water (true story)

we all know where this is going,so such circumstances leave u only options
--suddenly turn religious and try to bribe god with candles/coconuts
--start perparin a nice speech to be delivered at home on report card day
--pray like hell that when u wake up the next day u read in the news paper that during
the night ur exam centre was attacked by aliens n with their fancy flying saucers
n they teleported it back to their place :)
(like they say::nothing is impossible)


5) When u ask ur girlfriend wats wrong n she say "kuch nai"
this like all guys know can only mean 1 thing:
u r in deeeeeeeeeeeep ____ (fill in the blank)

the solution to this problem is a three step process:
1) u need to know wats wrong (fact:no guy is ever interested in finding out,,
,,reality:if u dont she will say u r inconsiderate)
this step usually takes an hour bec she will not give in easily(even though we all know
she wants to) and will torture u like rambo was tortured by the vietnamese in rambo part 1:first blood

2)once u know wat crime u committed in order to deserve all this
(well i guess you shouldnt have checked out that hot chick who just walked by
while ur girlfriend was sitting beside u. Well, even if u did, u shouldnt have been stupid
enough to get caught)
its time to make ammends:
my best advice::tell her u were just exercising ur neck muscles (say it like u mean it.
say it like ur life depends on it which most probably it does :))

3)wait while she finally decides to 4give u but like a true man use this time wisely
in analyzing ur mistakes and making a better plan so u arent caught next time :)



6) when u get kicked (where it hurts most) n u dont feel a thing!!!!!!
free Advice: sumthins gotta be wrong!!!! consult a doctor immediately


7) whenever ur girlfriend says anything that starts with "darling u know who i met the other day ....."
trust me anything that starts off with this line will lead u to nothing but trouble.


8) When u find out u copied the exam time table wrong right before u enter the exam hall

9) u read through this article just to make sure u arent in deep sh*t. (Well if this be the case
then let me waste no more time n tell u that most probably u r.))



10) if the above posted photo is of ur girlfriend then my man u r beyond deep sh*t
MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL!!!
(nd they ask us y we are scared of marriage..sheesh)



until next time take care...
