We live in a divided world. However much one tries to plug the cultural gap, the cracks would always remain. Thats the way it has been and thats the way it shall be! Point granted, Sachin.
It's not worth the time and energy to prove pre established notions wrong. People in different parts of the world think differently. Rather than being disappointed with this fact its easier to accept it and move on.
Last night, Halloween was both fun and disappointing. Everyone was dressed up beautifully. Eric-the priest; Argyro-the slutty nun; Ujjwal-King Tutankhamen; Adam-the army man; Laura- the sailor; Evan-the Ninja; Nick- the Pirate; Alex- the Steeler fan. Good times.
As a matter of fact, I remember every word, conversation, action etc even if I am drunk. Does that happen to other people too? And thats not good coz people expect you to forget about it. People tell you things which they otherwise would not want you to know. People ask questions they dare not ask casually. They behave in a fashion different from the way they would if you were sobre. Its to do with the stigma society attaches to drunk people. Looking back and thinking about it hurts.
Couple of memorable quotes again from both sides of the fence:
"Man, it does not help being an ass licker to white girls".
-- A white male friend from INI
One day:
"Girls like the chase. If someone says too many good things about me, I would not look at him".
Another day:
"I like it when someone says good things about me. It makes you feel wanted".
--A white female friend on two different occasions
Its difficult understanding people.

today I have learned to be agreeable to both kinds, but personally I am more comfortable with the 2nd (... If someone says too many good things about me... ) :D
it pays to get accustomed to the both the categories... altho personally I like the 'chase requested' kind... :)
another thing: I wish people were drunk all the time -- at least they would try to be honest. Helps in keeping the problems simple.
btw, could you check your blog feed... my feed reader is getting confused.
@faceless: I hope you are at peace and comfortable with whatever type you write. I guess the moral of the story is that girls are girls and it is important to not take them seriously at times. This friend of mine is great! I learn a lot from her. But sometimes times I feel she overdoes stuff and preaches stuff she herself does not practice. Hence, as I said, its difficult understanding people!!
i guess ur in love with nicole.
ah! anonymous... I am ready to second you on that.
@faceless: Love as in "Love love" NO!
Love as in liking someone, oh yeah! And I love a lot of people like that. As I said, Nicole just happens to be the latest one now! Does that answer your doubts?
women and girls are hell lot wierd than you can even imagine!!yes, tht coming from me!
