Friends / A friend is a person whom you want to have near when you are dying ,and whom you like to be with while you are living; to whom you spontaneously turn for help when you are in trouble.In whom you can confide the secret you want no other living soul to know.God help me to be such a friend.

Interest / literature . gazals . writing (thanx Rao). cooking.

Love / I don’t think love happens in a day or week. Love takes time. Very few people find real love so when you find it, it should be cherished, not just by the two people, but by the others as well. I romanticize everything and fantasies a lot. I feel either I’m wrong man in right world or may be right man in wrong world

Marriage / No planning for next couple of years but of course would like to marry a gal who can be someone astoundingly intelligent, really sharp and at the same time genuinely nice. Caring, not just towards me but to the average person too. Add to that a great sense of humor, honesty, open mindedness, confidence and good if she can respect personal space and personal identity.

Passion / I’m passionate about everything I do. My work, my family, my friends, my pc, my clothes - everything. For me, to be this way is very important. It’s great feeling to do things when you want to do them, and not because you have to do them. I think the moment you compromise your passion, you stop growing. Passion for me is all about making your thoughts come alive.

People / So many people wants so many things. Family, friends, every single person I know, I care for - has expectations from me. I want to please all of them, but I don’t know if I can do it. Hmmm…I know I can, but I will be sacrificing a lot on the work front. So is what I’m doing right? I don’t know I’m still contemplating.

“I’m attracted to people who are good at what they do, so that I can respect them”. I want person beside me has to be comfortable with me the way I am.

Romanticism / For me everything becomes a memory and a part of an emotion. My definition of romantic is slightly different. Sure, wooing her with flowers and chocolates is romantic. But what’s more important is the respect and space you have for her. Whether you acknowledge her choices and stand by her when she needs you. You have to learn to sacrifice things if that makes her happy. Being romantic is about your thoughts and your mind set.
