What is it that get two people together? And what is 'IT' that takes these two people one step further to matrimony?
First query has many answers..which is quite relative and varies from person to person. It can be anything from infatuation to lust, friendship to fooling around,some waves meet, some talks click, strangers become best friends, few move ahead into undefined relations hovering between friendship and commitment. All this is fine as long as the thin line is not crossed..the undefined territories..
With the onset of undefined terms in a relationship comes the undefined expectations..one gets so tangled in it, neither can they break free nor are they sure if they want to break free. One finds all love, happiness, solace, company in the other but is still not sure of moving ahead.. They remain in this no mans land for ever..
There are some others who are aware of what they want in life. They have decided on their choices and are not afraid to go ahead and tell the world about it. They fight the world as long as their loved on is standing hand in hand beside them.
Its not that there is no intersection samples between the non commitment ones and the pro commitment ones..ofcourse there is. The question is what is the one changing factor which makes the anti commitment species pro commitment.
Is it because they found that special spark in this partner which they dint find in the undefined domain partner?
Is it that there were no choices left. Had to go for it as it was the last and best choice available?
Is it because external factors forced one into it?
Are there other reasons?
I know of people who question themselves everyday on what went wrong and a few lucky ones who thank God on something which went right!! While together, there's still miles of distance to be covered between two people in the same room. I know of people who have married the one they love finding themselves stuck with unapproachable partners..I also know of those souls who communicate without speaking a word..
Life throws upon you so many surprises, love being the most surprising one of all.. Am in love and am happy to be so..as long as I am happy..I will continue to remain in love!!

My adventures @ Chennai !!
Driving in Chennai is an experience in itself. Till a few month back, 2 hours of my day was spent experiencing this experience. And every day, I think of writing on this subject cos I find it my responsibility to let the newbie know what to expect when they come here. I don’t want them misunderstanding the traditional, generally very cultured crowd which populates this pretty city.
For unsuspecting co travelers, below are some insights to the normal behavior traits seen on Chennai roads.
1. Do not be surprised if you find many personality copies of “Talaivur” on these roads. Its normal..!! People here are very serious about their hero worship and tend to try and follow almost all stunts on the roads. As in movies, these followers don’t expect to get hurt and they don’t expect others to expect getting hurt by these stunts
2. Don’t be worried if you see near misses on the roads. Its just another way to test ones skills and others’ heart health status. People who find their hearts palpitating randomly are advised to get themselves checked at the nearest Apollo hospital.
3. You have been trying hard to control that wild streak of anger but in vain??? Bingo…just drive here and you will see yourself having a crash course on Anger Management. All the times you stop yourself from screaming your head off at the co travelers’ so called irresponsible driving, you take yourself one step further to that inner calm state.
4. You want to test your driving skills??Want to know how you cope in pressure situations? Well, all you need to do is drive between 9-10 Am and 6-8 PM on any main road of Chennai. You will know all about your skills by the end of this experience.
I have been driving since the age of 15, have driven in different cities, towns with cosmopolitan crowds to rural crowd but the experience I have here in this city is so different from all the other cases. I face fear, thrill, uncontrollable anger, inner calm, unsuspecting courteousness, unbearable heat( and sweat), cool soothing breeze, irritating drivers and a feel of gratitude towards GOD (when I reach my destination) on a daily basis be it a 30 km drive to my city office or a 10 mins drive to the nearby grocery store. Don’t know how long I will continue with this experience…as long as I get back home every evening to tell the tale…it’s all fine..:)
