Why do relationships break ?

Why do relationships break ? Why do they do not work out ? Do you have to make them work ? I have been in United States for the past three years. I was alien to the concept of a break up. And believe me I am not kidding, I was introduced to words like "going out", "making it work" , "break up" only recently and I am 25. By now you have guessed that I have lived a great chunk of my life in India. I am not saying that relationships do not break in India. Nor am I great fan of arranged marriages.
No matter where they break, they break because of one fundamental reason. Lack of faith. Here in the United States and especially amongst Men, "going out" is a fashion. It is a status symbol amongst their other guy friends. The same thing exists to a lesser degree amongst girls also. What ends up happening is that they "try". And in trying they stop being honest to themselves. Most relationships do not work out simply because the characters involved were not honest to themselves. They do not have faith in themselves and in their relationship.

Being in love is such a wonderful experience. And what people have done? They have ruthlessly quantized this experience. How do you fall in love? You "start talking". Then you "hang out". And then after a bit of thought you go out. And when you go out you have a relationship. Where is lovein all this ? Where is faith ? Where is the friendship ?

City by the sea

This city is amazing. It is beyond comparison. There is wealth, there is glamour, there is diversity and there is the subway. If you wakeup from your sleep on your way home, you may find an African American to your left, a Chinese blocking the sight of a Jew sitting across. A Scottish in deep conversation with a Jamaican, a Pakistani catching up on sleep and an Indian, lost in himself, within. They are all New Yorkers! Together but not united! This city has a lot of energy - both negative and positive. Its nights are brighter than the days. Your mornings start in a crowd on a train whose faces suck all the energy out of you. You feel it is the end of the day even before it has started. Chances are that you are not alone but you are lonely. If there is anything you want on this earth, you will mostly likely find here. You can find musicians on the train and performers on the street. Every street and avenue is famous for its rareness. Broadway for is its performances and 28th for its cuisines, 8th Ave for hookers, Time Square for its timelessness and Wall street for being a wall that is street! It is neither an empire nor a state but it has the Empire State within. This city holds the gold of all the nations of the world underneath itself. And besides all this you may be lucky to find some peace of mind also! It is the eye of the world. Yes it is the big apple!

MSNBC - A New Space Age?

They say when you follow your heart the whole universe conspires to realize your dreams! And they say you have to watch out for omens on your search for dreams. And you have to enjoy each moment of your search. The heart may tell you that it is feeling sad. But you have to tell you heart not to feel sad. Because you are following your dream. But what if you do not have a dream ? Or may be what if your heart does not desire. This happens where there is indifference, where there is fear of failure! You cannot listen to your heart in these conditions.

Boredom is caused by indifference, indifferece by inaction, inaction by inertia, inertia by fear and fear by ego.

Ego is present when you see yourself as one and finte. Because there can be many finite ones. When you see yourself as one and infinite there is no ego there is no boredom and that is what living is all about. Happiness!
