The love proposal to my girl....

Now thats something out of this world and i think that i would put it up here....

I`ll lift you and walk till home, change you into your night clothes and tuck you into bed when you`ve been too sleepy. I`ll always be the first to inagurate clapping whenever you do something good and be the last one to stop laughing at your silly jokes. When you talk, i`ll listen and listen in the truest sense. I`ll make your interests my passions.

If we ever have an argument , i`ll be the first one to say sorry coz the sooner i say sorry, the sooner i`ll see your smile and i know its not good for my health to breathe for a longtime without seeing you smile. I`ll always train my body to be fit and strong so that when we get old and you have trouble climbing the stairs owing to your back and knee pain and there are no lifts around, i shall carry you in my arms and climb the stairs. I`ll even learn how to drape the saris and apply eyeliners so that you never get late for your office and your parties.

...Just the thought that you might say yes makes me a better and stronger person every day and every hour...help me achieving the best ...and allow me to bring out the best in you.....lets create us for "ETERNITY"....

Ode to Katrina

An Unerring Beauty

O delicate Muses so tender and so fair, 

Hear this mortal with distinguished care. 

There is a frame most precious of the sacred design, 

Whose unerring beauty shall forever remain divine. 

She is the fairest maiden with a righteous name, 

Her beauty is pure and of eternal reign. 

A blessed creature, too delicate for mortal sight, 

Her imponderable form robed in garments of stainless white. 

For her the sun traces the blooming day 

And the vaulted night unfolds its starry display. 

Wherever she walks rivers follow her lead; 

Wherever she rests, flowers perfume those fields. 

She shines with glamour in wondrous ways 

Her beauty ensnares with every tender ray! 

In vivid colors her lovely image appears 

With silken locks flowing past the ears. 

A starry threshold glitters in her ponderous eyes, 

That eclipses the luster of the flickering skies. 

A ravishing hue the cheeks seamlessly displays, 

But many splendors her smile exquisitely arrays. 

While a mellowed shade her brow gracefully shows- 

The glossy colors from the lips fashionably flow. 

If ever a shimmer escapes a pursuing eye 

It blends with the blushes of the setting sky. 

With every beam a new glory to the realm spreads 

That changes its colors whenever she treads. 

These sumptuous luxuries her ray doth invite 

That melts to the heart with infinite delight. 

In her, charms had infused for a wealthy blend; 

With her, beauty has achieved its ultimate end.

Committed? Then bear the brunt

The few 'unwanted' changes in the life of committed guys go like:

All Indians are my brothers and sisters 

The first blow that one's hit with as soon as he gets into a relationship is – consider all the boys and girls around you as your brothers and sisters. So, dare you raise your eyes to check out others around. For now, you are reserved for the one you're committed with.

Says Kapil Sharma, a second-year college student, who's been dating his girl for the last eight months, "Only I know what a 360 degree turn my life has taken eversince I got committed. Even though I love her, one thing that irritates me no end is her habit of following my eyes everywhere. So while she's loving it when we're alone, as soon as I am with my school friends, a lot of whom are girls, I'm under her constant gaze. And later I'm bombarded with things that I haven't even done - 'I saw you checking out that babe?' or 'Weren't you standing too close to that girl?' or 'It's so clear, you find all other girls prettier than me!' And all of this eventually ends in a fight, with me often wondering what fun it used to be hanging out with my female friends earlier or cracking silly non-veg jokes all the time.

It's 'Our time' anytime, all the time 

Secondly, it's high time you guys realised, that for you, there's nothing as 'my time'. So if you're committed and you're still fighting with your partner over 'my time' or 'my space', give up! For as a rule, the moment you walk into a relationship, your partner is entitled to everything 50-50. And yes, your time too!

Says Sachin Gulati who got engaged in March with Deeksha after two months of courtship, "It's been six months now and I'm still waiting to go biking with my friends, as was our routine every weekend before my marriage was fixed. Going biking to distant towns over the weekends was such fun and it was our way to unwind. Now, it's become a dream, as Deeksha is like 'You guys drive so fast! I'm scared you'll get hurt. So if you go, I'll come along too.' And since we all have been doing it as a boys' sport, with my other friends also leaving their wives behind, I feel helpless and have to make Deeksha understand it all." Adding he says, "While biking is one, all this while, there hasn't been one occasion where I have been 'permitted' to party alone, even if it was a drinks party planned just between us boys."

Love me, love my dog 

...That definitely sounds familiar, right? "Oh definitely! Ask me," sighs Akshay, a post-graduate student, who confesses, "This one irritating habit has been common between my previous and current girlfriend. Somehow women think if we love them, we're supposed to love everything and everyone in their family – right from their pets to their school friends to even their most distant relatives. Recently, my girlfriend introduced me to her distant cousin, with whom she's very close. Later just as a casual banter, I laughed about his weird dressing sense which upset my girlfriend so much that not only she yelled at me, she didn't even speak to me the whole day till I apologised to her."

Show me your money 

However much you may earn, take it from the ones who've tread this path – 'it's never enough'.

Shares Dhruv Pandit, a second year management student, "How excited I was and felt so rich when my dad doubled my pocket money from Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000 when I got through MBA! But then I fell in love with a classmate and 10K suddenly looked so meagre. I mean right from paying for our movies to dinners, disc tickets, soaring phone bills, everything just doubled. Add to it a dating norm - that guys need to keep their girls happy whether it is with expensive gifts, flowers or romantic dates, I was back to being a pauper. Now, how I wish my dad raised my pocket money to Rs 50,000," quips Dhruv.

Bill da mamla 

When in love, phone bills are the last thing one cares about, till they finally arrive and give you a heart attack.

"I've suffered this big time but somehow have never been able to control it. What's worse is that the girls who I had marathon conversations with are not there in my life anymore," says Akash Suri, a BPO executive, continuing, "Now I know 'everything comes with a price', so do relationships!"

Love me more than my friend's bf 

"Now how do you do that!" exclaims Kapil Sharma, "How do I meet up the standards of someone I don't even know! It's extremely irritating to hear my girlfriend sing praises of some other guy who loves and cares for his girlfriend. And then she expects me to behave exactly the same way. More than the fun element, I'm mostly living under this constant pressure of trying to keep my girlfriend happy so that she stops comparing me with other guys."

Can I please breathe? 

For Sachin Gulati, his engagement has been 'life changing'. He says, "I have always been independent, even my parents are not strict and don't check me much on anything. But with Deeksha, I now have to report everything - from what time I reached office, how many glasses of beer I had at a party, to the number of cigarettes I smoked in the day. So much so, even the new laptop that I bought is of her preference. If I am on such a tight leash right now, I wonder how things will be once we are married!"

How sun signs say sorry

                                

Ever wondered why Taureans apologise to the floor or Cancerians hate saying 'Sorry'! Here's how some signs say 'Sorry', some try, some try real hard, while some never even try.

Aries

They are sure they have done nothing that demands apology. Sorry to say, but 'Sorry' is the last thing you can expect from them. And if they do it, it sounds as if they are talking to themselves. If you hear it, you are lucky. 

Taurus

Taureans apologise to the ground. They will never see you in the eye, while uttering the dreadful word. They wait for the maximum damage to happen before apologising. After all, one murder or two murders, you can be hanged only once. 

Gemini

Geminis are perfect people - at least that's what they feel. And the best part is that if they realise they've made a mistake, they know how to act ignorant. Criminals can take a crash course from them in beating the lie detector. Such innocent souls, they will make you feel guilty for expecting an apology from them.

Cancer

Cancerians go a step further that Geminis. They force you to jump off a cliff for even imagining a sorry from them. They will burn their Rolls Royce, but never say sorry to guy they ran into. They hurt themselves. And they keep doing it till you start feeling sorry for yourself and decide never ever to seek an apology from them. 

Leo

Leos love attention and contrary to the belief, they love apologising. For them, it's just another way to get noticed. They will send you flowers, they will cook for you ?..imagine it they can do it. Greeting card makers love them, as they buy almost all the 'Sorry' cards. 

Virgo

Logic takes over, when it's time for a Virgo to apologise. Saying sorry would be on their job list for the day. They need time to prepare themselves and even memorise their apologies. There's actually a script...a proper sequence of dialogues, needless to say, taking your reactions into considerations as well. Forget about Oscar speeches?this one's a winner all the way.

Libra

Librans are very vocal when they know their mistake. You won't find a better sign, when it's about saying sorry. They feel their apologies. Now that's one achievement. Leos can pretend for attention, but Librans - they never stammer while saying 'Sorry'. 

Scorpio

Scorpions will say 'Sorry' a hundred times, but never mean it. So don't get fooled. They will not face you?they do it over the phone, send a card, sms or an email. The reason - they believe doing something wrong is no big deal. You still need a sorry from them! 

Sagittarius

'Sorry' doesn't feature in their vocabulary. They will never ever say the word; you put a gun to their head; they would rather take the shot than apologise. You make one mistake, and they need a sorry, just one would do.

Capricorn

Capricornians have been trying hard to eradicate 'Sorry' from the face of this earth for ages. They choose not to remember it. But you make one mistake - and you are dead. They need apologies in every way - sms, email, phone call, letter - whatever form of communication you can imagine and was ever invented. And your reason better be convincing as well. 

Aquarius

They believe in damage control. They may not apologise, but they try every bit to undo their mistake. Actions speak more than words. Aquarians definitely know that. 

Pisces

Pisceans have a mind of their own. What's wrong for you is right for them, so what's the apology for - a different perspective! They force you to change your perception. Do not ever expect an apology from them. If you get one, you qualify for all the record books.

So now you know what to expect when someone you know makes a mistake. Keep a check on your expectations accordingly.

5 COMPLIMENTS Every Woman Loves To Hear

1.You’re Irreplaceable. 

This is a surefire way to light up your partner’s eyes. Saying these words (with full eye contact, of course) lets the special one in

your life know that you know who she is as a person and that you value her as a unique individual.

Why is this so effective? Think about when you break up with someone and part ways. One of the worst ramifications

of the break-up is finding out, via Facebook update or chattering among friends, that you've been replaced by someone new.

On the flip side, hearing from your current partner that you're valued for more than what you look like scores big, meaningful points.

2. You bring light to my life.

Yes, we know this sounds like a bit much. But bear with us and let us make one point: relationships can go off course

when one or both partners takes for granted the contributions the other makes to their lives. Saying this

shows that a man understands and remembers that a women chooses to be with her man and opts to give her

energy and time to him. Showing he appreciates that she shares her life with him is symphonic to a woman's ears.

If the word light is a tad too over-the-top for you try replacing it with happiness,

joy, sunshine—whichever word you can say with genuine meaning.

3. You are perfect just the way that you are. 

This one takes the gold star award for ability to make a woman’s day, week, month or even year (if, that is, whenever she gets

miffed at you for something small she recalls you saying this to her). Ingrid Michaelson sang it best with her lyrics to the song

“Just the Way that I Am.” If you really want to make your partner’s day, we suggest e-mailing this song or youtube video

to the woman you love. Deep, lasting love is unconditional. Showing that you comprehend and embrace this idea

will touch your partner way more than surfacey comments such as “Your earrings are cute.”

4. I love your 

(fill in the blank: bright eyes, cute toes, toned arms, sleek legs, silky hair).

We did not mean to give the impression above that we women do not like to hear you notice when we put extra effort into

looking foxy for our man. But what’s key here is that what you say is genuine. Don’t just pick any random feature.

Think about it. What is your partner’s best physical attribute and why do you like it? Telling your partner this will

show her you pay attention to details, and to her.

5. I am so proud of you.

A big deal-breaker in any relationship can be supporting one another’s life goals or not. Paying attention to your partner’s current goals

she is working hard to achieve endear her to you for life. Whether it is paying off her credit card debt, completing a class,

putting in extra hours to earn a promotion or even trying to better balance her life, show your loving support for your women.

Her heart will melt then and every time thereafter she remembers when you supported along the way to

making things happen and brushing off when the chips are down.

I need your love

Lonely rivers float to the sea..... to the sea.

To the open arms of the sea..... yeah. 

Lonely rivers sigh wait for me, wait for me. 

I'll be coming home, wait for me. 

Oh my love, my darlin'. I've hungered for your touch 

alone, lonely times. 

And times goes by so slowly and time can do so much. 

Are you still mine. 

Oh I need your love.

History of Indian Tricolor

"A flag is a necessity for all nations. Millions have died for it. It is no doubt a kind of idolatry which would be a sin to destroy. For, a flag represents an Ideal The unfurling of the Union Jack evokes in the English breast sentiments whose strength it is difficult to measure. The Stars and Stripes mean a world to the Americans. The Star and the Crescent will call forth the best bravery in Islam." "It will be necessary for us Indians Muslims, Christians Jews, Parsis, and all others to whom India is their home-to recognize a common flag to live and to die for." 

- Mahatma Gandhi 

Every free nation of the world has its own flag. It is a symbol of a free country. The National Flag of India was designed by Pingali Venkayyaand and adopted in its present form during the meeting of Constituent Assembly held on the 22 July 1947, a few days before India's independence from the British on 15 August, 1947. It served as the national flag of the Dominion of India between 15 August 1947 and 26 January 1950 and that of the Republic of India thereafter. In India, the term "tricolour" refers to the Indian national flag. The National flag of India is a horizontal of deep saffron (kesari) at the top, white in the middle and dark green at the bottom in equal proportion. The ratio of width of the flag to its length is two to three. In the centre of the white band is a navy blue wheel which represents the chakra. Its design is that of the wheel which appears on the abacus of the Sarnath Lion Capital of Ashoka. Its diameter approximates to the width of the white band and it has 24 spokes. Evolution of the Tricolour It is really amazing to see the various changes that our National Flag went through since its first inception. It was discovered or recognised during our national struggle for freedom. The evolution of the Indian National Flag sailed through many vicissitudes to arrive at what it is today. In one way it reflects the political developments in the nation. Some of the historical milestones in the evolution of our National Flag involve the following: 

The first national flag in India is said to have been hoisted on August 7, 1906, in the Parsee Bagan Square (Green Park) in Calcutta now Kolkata. The flag was composed of three horizontal strips of red, yellow and green. 

The second flag was hoisted in Paris by Madame Cama and her band of exiled revolutionaries in 1907. This was very similar to the first flag except that the top strip had only one lotus but seven stars denoting the Saptarishi. This flag was also exhibited at a socialist conference in Berlin.

The third flag went up in 1917 when our political struggle had taken a definite turn. Dr. Annie Besant and Lokmanya Tilak hoisted it during the Home rule movement. This flag had five red and four green horizontal strips arranged alternately, with seven stars in the saptarishi configuration super-imposed on them. In the left-hand top corner (the pole end) was the Union Jack. There was also a white crescent and star in one corner.

During the session of the All India Congress Committee which met at Bezwada in 1921 (now Vijayawada) an Andhra youth prepared a flag and took it to Gandhiji. It was made up of two colours-red and green-representing the two major communities i.e. Hindus and Muslims. Gandhiji suggested the addition of a white strip to represent the remaining communities of India and the spinning wheel to symbolise progress of the Nation.

The year 1931 was a landmark in the history of the flag. A resolution was passed adopting a flag as our national flag. This flag, the forbear of the present one, was saffron, white and green with Mahatma Gandhi's spinning wheel at the center. It was, however, clearly stated that it bore no communal significance and was to be interpreted thus.

On July 22, 1947, the Constituent Assembly adopted it as Free India National Flag. After the advent of Independence, the colours and their significance remained the same. Only the Dharma Charkha of Emperor Asoka was adopted in place of the spinning wheel as the emblem on the flag. Thus, the tricolour flag of the Congress Party eventually became the tricolour flag of Independent India.

Colours of the Flag:

The white middle band indicates peace and truth with Dharma ChakIn the national flag of India the top band is of Saffron colour, indicating the strength and courage of the country.The last band is green in colour shows the fertility, growth and auspiciousness of the land.

The Chakra: 

This Dharma Chakra depicted the "wheel of the law" in the Sarnath Lion Capital made by the 3rd-century BC Mauryan Emperor Ashoka. The chakra intends to show that there is life in movement and death in stagnation.

Flag Code: 

On 26th January 2002, the Indian flag code was modified and after several years of independence, the citizens of India were finally allowed to hoist the Indian flag over their homes, offices and factories on any day and not just National days as was the case earlier. Now Indians can proudly display the national flag any where and any time, as long as the provisions of the Flag Code are strictly followed to avoid any disrespect to the tricolour. For the sake of convenience, Flag Code of India, 2002, has been divided into three parts. Part I of the Code contains general description of the National Flag. Part II of the Code is devoted to the display of the National Flag by members of public, private organizations, educational institutions, etc. Part III of the Code relates to display of the National Flag by Central and State governments and their organisations and agencies.

There are some rules and regulations upon how to fly the flag, based on the 26 January 2002 legislation. These include the following:

The Do's: 

The National Flag may be hoisted in educational institutions (schools, colleges, sports camps, scout camps, etc.) to inspire respect for the Flag. An oath of allegiance has been included in the flag hoisting in schools.

A member of public, a private organization or an educational institution may hoist/display the National Flag on all days and occasions, ceremonial or otherwise consistent with the dignity and honour of the National Flag. 

Section 2 of the new code accepts the right of all private citizens to fly the flag on their premises. 

The Don'ts 

The flag cannot be used for communal gains, drapery, or clothes. As far as possible, it should be flown from sunrise to sunset, irrespective of the weather. 

The flag cannot be intentionally allowed to touch the ground or the floor or trail in water. It cannot be draped over the hood, top, and sides or back of vehicles, trains, boats or aircraft. 

No other flag or bunting can be placed higher than the flag. Also, no object, including flowers or garlands or emblems can be placed on or above the flag. The tricolour cannot be used as a festoon, rosette or bunting. 

The Indian National Flag represents the hopes and aspirations of the people of India. It is the symbol of our national pride. Over the last five decades, several people including members of armed forces have ungrudgingly laid down their lives to keep the tricolour flying in its full glory.
