Just Friends yaa !!!
"No man can be friends with a woman whom he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her," said a wise man called Harry Burns when he met Sally Albright.
"Yes, that's right, they can't be friends. Unless both of them are involved with other people, then they can," Harry explained.
It's been 17 years since he said that and yet women don't seem to have really got the hang of what he means. They actually believe that the guy who calls every single day and goes out of his way to help her is "so sweet" and (wants to be) just friends.
Oh! Please! Men surely have better things to do than play guardian angel. Like it's their new full-time job or mission statement for life.
Now, let's consider for a minute the profile of these guys who do that.
a. He is single. Obviously, otherwise, he would be running around to get his own girl to like him.
b. He is not her type. Because, if he was, she would have seen through his desperate attempts to woo her.
c. He has friends who believe, or in some cases, KNOW that he likes her more than a friend.
d. He does not have another girl that he finds attractive as a friend. Because if he did, he would be doing that for her too.
e. He is the initiator... the guy who takes the effort to make conversation, at least most of the time.
Is that some sort of a co-incidence now that they somehow meet all those traits?
Fat chance. The truth is women like the attention they get, they don't want to say `No' to it or confront him because they don't want to lose the benefits. Besides, till the guy has said it, you can always just be "friends".
It is high time these do-gooder gentlemen woke up to see that if she hasn't seen his love in all that he has done for her, she's probably blind. Or plain dumb.
SHE SAYS
And men, of course, are assuming that women are really taken in by the `let's be friends' gag?
`Friendship,' my poor misguided young male puppets, is sometimes just a convenient way for women to make cow-eyes at you over canteen Cokes, or three course dinners. You might think you have the upper hand, but you're just being checked out to see if you are date worthy.
Because when a women is `just friends' with a guy, she gets a sneak peek at how he really thinks, behaves and relates to other people. (Pssst. A word of advice. Act snotty with the waiter and you're out in the cold.)
More important, being able to say, "we're just good friends, ya" lets you off the hook, when nosy friends start prodding you for details, and your mother begins to plan a June wedding in her head.
In fact, Indian ingenuity has come up with an even better way of concealing a relationship that's too young and unsteady to announce. The "He's like my brother," and `She's like my sister' story makes it so easy for all those totally unrelated siblings to watch sunsets hand-in-hand with nobody getting suspicious and tracing family trees. But, please remember, it doesn't work this way with everybody. Of course, men and women can be friends. Otherwise, imagine what a warped world this would be.
Men need their women friends. For one, men have terrible taste when it comes to picking out clothes or solitaires for their girlfriends, and can always do with some female guidance. Besides, female company keeps men civilised. Look at what happened in William Golding's "Lord Of the Flies", where a bunch of boys abandoned on an island began to eat each other!
And yes, women need their male friends too. They give us a man's perspective on life, making it easier to understand boyfriends. They are generally completely chilled out, which makes them easy to hang out with. And they're useful at times when you need someone to carry your shopping, help you move furniture into a new house, or get rid of an over zealous admirer.
Boyfriends are nice to have around, but guy friends are essential.
If you have reached this part of the post and you are wondering "Shiv has written a awsome post you are in for a Big Suprise !! This is an article i lifted from Hindu Metro Plus Chennai Edition ".
Hope you had a good time reading it .

Its a Hindi Line
"Yehan Sab Kuch hain maa phir bhi
bin tere lage mujhe akela "
A bit of translation
"There is everything in abundance here MOM
but without you I feel alone "
Poetic version by my good frend R
"missing my mom, is the reason only
without her around, i feel lonely"
Will wait a few days to days to post the Movie and Song Title .Till then I will let people guess ?? Current Blockbuster !!

Son
My Dad sends me great cards for my birthday every year .
The words in the card makes me feel that i have fullfiled
my parents dream to an extend .Here are the words for this year
Seeing you grow up into a nice person
makes me realize what Life achievements are all about .
The pride that we feel in our hearts when addressed as
your parents is obsolutely beyond explanation .

Chennai Rocks macchi !!
Its been my longest stay away from chennai .Two years and 6 months to be more exact .The three weeks I was in chennai was by far my best vacation ever .Having lived there for 17 years , how does this three weeks rank up to number 1 ? .Let me stop the prelude here and mention the factors that made it so .
1. The BIG KISS I got from my grandma when I reached home .
2. Three night shows with my DAD Aaru , Kanda Naal mudhal and Sanda kozhi .
3. Quality time spent with mom and dad .
4. Balajee Bhavann Tiffin Menu .
5. Cute Chennai Girls .
But the whole incident that sparked me to write this was the nights that I spent with Kuppa Queen 's Kuppa Gumbal . Meeting Yuvan Shankar Raja in Mocha , tons of KF that I guzzled , Bikes and Barrel , Dublin koothu were my best moments .Thanks to the entire Kuppa Gumbal and special mention to Siddharth .Hope to have a big Kuppa Bash in US may be Vegas !!
Looks like an Oscar winning speech .

Coffee makes you smarter !!
For the past few months I have been frequenting the US Tea kadai (Shop*) Star Bucks .
After many attempts Michele got my name right , so every time I step into SB she greets me by saying "Wassup Sheev ".
For bulk of students and office goers ,coffee is the burning fuel .Early morning to get the day started we need a cup of coffee .A bit of caffeine wakes you up from the afternoon drowsiness .So the question arises does a cup of Coffee make you smarter ?? .
Today I came across an article in TIME which claimed that "Coffee stimulates your brain to respond better " . Intelligence of a person cannot be enhanced , but the ability to focus can be increased with a cup of coffee and this has been medically proven .Next time you are feeling sleepy and not able to concentrate ,get yourself a cup of coffee things ought to get better .
STATUARY WARNING : COFFEE CONTAINS CAFFEINE WHICH IS INJURIOUS TO HEALTH

Argumentative Indian
A couple of friends of mine have been reading the latest book by Amartya Sen "Argumentative Indian " .This book is about how diverse India is and how vastly different ideas we posses .It brings out arguments on Indian democracy ,caste , creed and its constant battle for peace.This book might give you answers to many questions about Indian culture that may have been lingering in your mind .
Havent had my hands on this book yet , it will take a while for me to read it and review it .Meanwhile I would like every one to put this book on their reading queue .

Here or There ....
United States has been the land of dreams for a lot of people . When one lands in US they carry with them hopes of their entire family .After lots of hardship a decent life is established and with very year going passing by life gets even better .
There are a few who like the American way of life adopt to it, and let go of their past which includes their culture ,tradition and values . There a few who fight a constant battle between the western influence and their eastern values .Life is good here , by saying that what I mean , a very good number of people live in nice houses , eat good food , have good clothes to wear .Having covered all basic necessity , people have enough time and money for vacations and many extravagant events .Oh boy life is definitely good here .
A few feel home is where the heart is,but others like to live in a place which is more conducive for life , better facilities ,infrastructure and better education for their kids .But reasons apart I would love to live where I am most happy .Is it going to be here or there is a big question that i have to answer sooner or later ?
