The swear word ‘F’ in Hollywood Movies
As an Indian I always wondered why most of the Hollywood movies/TV serials have F* word in most of the dialogues.
Check this out
Wikipedia gives us the list of movies and also total number of times the word f* used. (from 1978 to 2018 )
List of Films that most frequently use the word’Fuck’
It’s a taboo here in India to even utter just ‘F’
As I checked the following quora link,I realized the word F*** can have different meanings depending on the circumstance,apart from sexual connotations !

Friendship vs Love…which triumps ?
It’s 2.2 minute read
“Sometimes,in life there really are bonds formed that can never be broken.
Sometimes you really can find that one person who will stand by you no matter what.
May be you will find it in a spouse and celebrate it with your dream wedding.
But there’s also the chance that the person you can count on for a life time, the person who knows you sometimes better than you know yourself, is the same person who’s been standing beside you all along”. Bride wars
Let us see who triumphs at the end.
LOVE
L is the 12 th letter of alphabets
O is the 15 th letter of alphabets
V is the 22 nd letter of alphabets
E is the 05 th letter of alphabets
Total of Love is = 54.
FRIENDSHIP
F is the 06 th letter of alphabets
R is the 18 th letter of alphabets
I is the 09 th letter of alphabets
E is the 05 th letter of alphabets
N is the 14 th letter of alphabets
D is the 04 th letter of alphabets
S is the 19 th letter of alphabets
H is the 08 th letter of alphabets
I is the 09 th letter of alphabets
P is the 16 th letter of alphabets
Total of Friendship is = 108
Exactly twice of 54
So the FRIENDSHIP is twice the value of LOVE.

Miracle
Both of them were uncertain; both of them were trying as much as they could; both of them would doubt themselves, would progress and recede. But they would both keep trying, because they trusted the other, and because the other person was the only other person who ever be worth such hardships, such difficulties, such insecurities and exposure. ‘Hanya Yanagihara’
Do you believe in , that true friendship is possible in the real life ??
Wasn’t friendship its own miracle,the finding of another person who made the entire lonely world seem somehow less lonely
Hanya Yanagihara
Moving together and interacting with our friends in our circle ( offline ) ….at least we know each other by face,by real name,our habits,our nature,our jobs,our commitments etc.etc. and it’s an altogether different, in online friendship.
What about online friendship that too with an unknown person ?
what is your experience ??
I always wonder how these unknown online friends who know nothing of the other,but still keep in touch with each other as if they are the long-lost friends and they are also aware that they are separated by thousands of miles in this beautiful world….I don’t know what makes these two to gel so well !!
I even read somewhere that in one such case,the friendship continued even beyond 10 yrs !!
You never regret for making such a strong bond over the time with friends especially unknown….irrespective of the age,background,looks,status,liabilities,their individual responsibilities…….
Just read these beautiful quotes regarding’friendship’ by Hanya Yanagihara
Friendship is the most underrated relationship in our lives. It remains the one relation not bound by law, blood, or money — but an unspoken agreement of love.
Hanya Yanagihara
Why wasn’t friendship as good as a relationship? Why wasn’t it even better? It was two people who remained together, day after day, bound not by sex or physical attraction or money or children or property, but only by the shared agreement to keep going, the mutual dedication to a union that could never be codified.
You won’t understand what I mean now, but someday you will: the only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you are—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving—and then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad—or good—it might be, and to trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best, as well.

Stressed? Think of Romantic Friendship !
There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement and acceptance.” John Lennon
This is a 2.7 minute read.Please proceed if you can spare this much time.
Before I start the discussion,it’s better we know the definition of ‘Romantic Friendship’.
According to ‘Wikipedia’
“A romantic friendship, passionate friendship, or affectionate friendship is a very close but typically non-sexual relationship between friends,often involving a degree of physical closeness beyond that which is common in the contemporary Western Societies. It may include for example holding hands,cuddling,hugging,kissing,giving massages, and sharing a bed, or co-sleeping, without sexual intercourse or other physical sexual expression”
Yourdictionary.com says
“An intensely emotional love relationship between two unrelated people, in which sexuality is unimportant and typically absent, but there is greater physical affection or poetic communication than is typical for friendship”
Can we include online Friendship ( since we are into the digital revolution with social media,online-video/chat,making new online friends etc ) into the above definitions ? I am not sure.
How nice it’s when the truly understanding relationship takes a vow, as said below !
“The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach more,that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds.And that’s what you’ve given me.That’s what I’d hoped to give you forever” Nicholas Sparks
But then….all are not fortunate and there has to be a kind of ‘vibe’ or as some one brilliantly coined the term ‘ Familiar vibe’, or Mutual ‘resonance’ between the partners or friends or relationships.Plato’s quote is apt.
“Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.” Plato.
True friends really make a big influence on their individual lives in times of stress.
And What did John Lennon Say about friendship and its impact on Life and how this true friendship keeps you smiling ?
“Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears”.
A recent study published in the journal Psychophysiology suggests that simply imagining love & support from your significant other can boost your stress management skills.Check this link.

Hardest thing in this world is……
I know you are tempted to say ‘Diamond’ !
True to some extent.Diamonds symbolize Status,Love,strength( hardness), beauty and Prosperity.
It’s also interesting to know why 60 th wedding anniversary is called ‘Diamond Anniversary’ ?.It’s because of longevity of the couple’s relationship both in times of happiness and difficulties and the marriage surviving this long of 60 yrs without break up in relationship, a toughest job indeed in the modern day philosophy of ‘divorce’ at the drop of a hat.
Do you want to know which is tougher than Diamond ?

Global warming of different kind
Don’t hesitate to spread the warmth whatever may be your situation !
“Warm weather fosters growth.Cold weather destroys it.Thus a man with an unsympathetic temperament has scanty joy:But a man with a warm and friendly heart is overflowing with blessings,and his beneficence will extend to posterity.” Hung Tzu-Ch’Eng
“Even more important than the warmth and affection we receive,is the warmth and affection we give,It is by giving warmth and affection,by having a genuine sense of concern for others,in other words through compassion,that we gain the conditions for genuine happiness.More important than being loved,therefore is to love.” Dalai Lama
Finally
“A woman at 20 is like ice, at 30 she is warm and at 40 she is hot.” Gina Lollobrigida

Bullshit In the guise of True Love !
The most common lie uttered without thought, sincerity, resolve, or guilt: I love you. ‘unknown’
See this clip(117 seconds) before you proceed further.
Does true love exist? I dare !
Rabbi Dr.Abraham calls’Love out of selfishness’ is a Fish Love.He
says”Fish love is poisoning marriages,damaging homes and breaking
hearts”.
Sex,money or power will decide the intensity of the so-called true love.
you may blast me that ….I am,atrocious,stone-hearted, silly, crazy, cruel,disgusting and disappointing but I am not dejected,because one day you realize that none can show the true love without expecting something in return. And that day,you are sure to remember me!The love what you expect / or given is nothing but ‘fake love !
In this world no body is willing to give unconditional love,though they can, if really they want,but they won’t because of the inherent selfishness.
I shall give just 2 examples.My discussion is limited to so called ‘unbreakable human love’
1.Romanticizing love.(couples)
‘I love you beyond eternity’,
‘If loving is wrong,then I don’t want to be right ‘
‘My love for you is a journey starting at forever & ending never.
‘You’re the first boy I ever kissed Jake,and I want you to be the last'(hollywood dialogue-movie-sweet home Alabama)
‘I think I’d miss you even if we’d never met'( movie-wedding date)
If these things are true….Why you see so many cases of divorces?
2.If true love were there( parents vs children)…
Why there are so many old age homes and homes for destitute ? And what about.. Orphanage,Children homes ?
Ron Leighman in Quora (on love is bullshit)
“Because love is a fraudulent emotion, it doesn’t exist. They say the love you Blah blah blah. Then once you get/give them what they want they kick you to the curb like yesterdays garbage. You may as well expect it because it will happen. Expect it then you feel no pain when it happens”.
Are we into the ‘Fantasy Love’?
“Of all the lies you told me….’I love you’ was my favorite”.Unknown
True love is possible only when the people concerned are mature enough ( this happens as they age ) to see both sides of the point of view.
Finally,the difference between True Love & Pure Love.
True Love may not be possible all the time ,but Pure Love is possible.
Loving what you get is compromise.
Getting what you love is Success.
Loving without caring whether you will get it or not is true love.
Loving even after you knowing that you won’t get it..is pure love.

Love is scarce- Really ?
The only thing we never get enough of is love; and the only thing we
never give enough of is love.
― Henry Miller
Why this happens ?
We all think that, Love means romance.But it is not so.
There are 7 types of love.
- Storge- Familial love
- Phila-friendship ( shared goodwill)
- Eros-Sexual or passionate love
- Agape-Universal love ( unconditional love)
- Ludus-Playful or uncommitted love
- Pragma- Long term love ( married people)
- Philautia-self love ( healthy or unhealthy)
( source Psychologytoday.com, Quora)
My discussion is limited to the married couple.
Think for a second.
Can you tell the difference between ‘school and life‘ ?
” In school you are taught a lesson and then given a test.
In life,you are given a test,that teaches you the lesson” Tom Bodett
So what I am trying to tell is Life gives an opportunity to learn lessons from our experience, in this situation….. day to day problems faced by the couple,thus making them more accommodating,understanding and helpful to each other.
Thus we can become wiser by experiencing these experiences.
But here is the hitch.
The problem comes in the unknown form of ‘E G O ‘ nullifying all the benefits of life’s lessons,which we learn over the course of time.
Why can’t we make an attempt to look into this ? Why can not we prevent this disease before it strikes us ?
When we are able to manage life style diseases with sugar-free,fat-free,salt free,gluten-free etc. etc….why can’t we give a try for Ego- free ?
The only way to achieve peace and harmony is becoming ‘EGO LESS’,
and this should be the ultimate outcome of your life’s lessons,if you
are willing to learn.
Another aspect is ,to be able to differentiate, the difference between love & Possession.Don’t think ,just because you love the person…you got right to possess the person.( as if the person is a property)
Remember love is selfless,coming from the bottom of the heart with total dedication,sincerity and commitment to lead a supportive life together.
And so…..
We make our life miserable because we never make an attempt to understand the full potential of true love,and thus we make ‘love’ scarce in spite of its abundance.
True Love gives you, the real experience of what all you dream and
Ego gives you, all the heartache.
“A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love”. – Max Muller
You wanna know… who you’re to me ?
One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.

Never waste your time trying to explain who you are to people who are committed to misunderstanding you

Does Love mean suffering ? What is your definition of Love ?
“The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.”
―
What is that all the religions, teach us about L O V E?
As per Bob Morley’s Wisdom, Everybody is going to hurt you.
I think he is correct because we expect too much from the ones ,we love ( a bit selfish attitude ,I say ) and in turn feel hurt if they are not up to our expectation. (again a selfish motive)
“To love is to suffer.
To avoid suffering one must not love.
But then one suffers from not loving.
Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer.
To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy.
Therefore, to be happy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.” — Woody Allen
Are you confused ? Is too much happiness also a suffering ?
I know you don’t have an answer.Neither I have !
But my guess is…. don’t love too much or too little,and at the same time don’t not expect anything in return.Don’t presume or assume.
Is this not strange that the very word ‘L O V E’ makes some of us
experience ‘Heaven’ and some other ‘Hell’
How can L O V E have dual power…. ie adorable & destructive ?
What is your take ? Please share your thoughts .Have you ever suffered because of LOVE?

Writing on the ‘note’
When there is Love,there is Life.
One minute read
“Don’t be afraid to express love to those who you love. Because
sometimes loving is not enough. We have to express it.”
Anurag Prakash Ray.
What a ‘Silent’ way to express ones love !
As seen in the above photographs, the persons have expressed their love in a silent way by writing on the currency notes.
Looks like they wanted entire country to know the intensity of their love since the currency gets circulated throughout the country.
It is a distasteful & Disgusting practice being practiced over the generations.
Not many are aware that it is punishable under the law ( Reserve Bank of India guidelines)
The scribbles on the notes range from names or phone numbers to love letters to ‘praise the lord’ to drawings.
Some these drawings are offensive and mostly one comes across ‘Love expressions’
It looks like this practice is seen only in Indian Subcontinent countries.I don’t know how this dirty habit evolved…….
How you classify this behavior?
You call this Childish/strange/fanatic/disgusting/lovely/uncultured/dirty…. etc. etc.
Please feel free to express your opinion,thoughts…
