Misplaced sense of righteousness

11 March 2011 By Shayon 6 In Personal, Relationships, Thoughts

Today morning, while on my way to the office, I was listening to a podcast by a guy called Savage Love. Too corny, eh? Well, I am not sure if that’s his real name. But then, what the heck!

Anyway, the point is, it was apparently a podcast where he dished out relationship advices to his listeners. There was this one female who had called up and said that she had a friend who is visibly abusive to his girlfriend. She said that he not just verbally abused her in front of his friends, but also was hardly ever ‘nice’ to her. Apparently he had never done anything nice for her other than cooking for her when she came home from office. That too she suspected he did because he’d be back home earlier and loved to cook, in general. How did she reach to this conclusion? Because more often than not he would never wait up for his girlfriend to have his dinner.

Being friends to both of them, she wasn’t sure how would she react.

Now, another incident. I was recently having a debate (sorts) with one of my lady friends where the discussion was that if you are friends with one person, and you end up being friends with the partner too (just by extension of being friends with the former), where would your loyalty lie with?

The reason I interconnected the second incident, with the first, was because I felt the ‘caller’ was in a dilemma because she could not find an answer to the second question. The fact that she was originally friends with the guy, and that there’s no wrong/injustice done “to him”, she wasn’t sure where her responsibilities lied. And hence needed help to figure out a plausible decision.

Are you Friends with your Partner’s ex?

23 April 2010 By Shayon 13 In Personal, Relationships, Thoughts

I have a friend of mine, Tamanna, who was once in a relationship with Rajiv. Their affair was a pretty torrid one, and lasted for quite a while. However, Tamanna had always been looking for commitment, and Rajiv was in no position to give it to her. Rajiv had a set path for his career, and marriage never really figured in it. So, despite both of them loving each other with their hearts and souls, Tamanna did not have a choice but look elsewhere. So, they decided to call it quits, but remained friends.

I

I rise. I fall. I shine. I crawl. I write. I Erase. I push away. I embrace. I cradle. I prey. I embalm. I flay. I care. I go aloof. I say I trust. I ask for proof. I love. I detest. I hug. I wrest. I nurture. I scare. I hope. I despair.

My Head Bows Low

20 April 2010 By Shayon 2 In Choked, Personal, Relationships, Thoughts

My head bows low. To see you hurt. To feel you cry. To hear you scream. My head bows low. My head bows low. To read your woes. To remember your pains. To surrender to the fate. My head bows low. My head bows low. When you tell me how much you loved. When I [...]

Crawling In My Skin

Here’s a track that probably manages to convey my current state of mind, as perfectly as it can get. I have been listening to this track since time immemorial, but had never imagined it to mirror my own life. But then again, as they say, “Never say never!”

I cannot think well of a man who sports with any woman’s feelings; and there may often be a great deal more suffered than a stander-by can judge of. Jane Austen (1775 – 1817), Mansfield Park Such is the inconsistency of real love, that it is always awake to suspicion, however unreasonable; always requiring new [...]
