When Silence Speaks...

I have been thinking lately, if I should invest (I am still not sure if that's the real word, but anyway); my time and energy in dating? I have never officially been in any dating kinda setup. Just that, I have always either had some relationships going on or had that emotional after phase to deal with; which usually used to be the outcome of broken relationships. For most part, I was busy being single and happy. So, I have never spent my time dating randomly or been on any dating sites. Well, on an after thought, my first love was actually an online friend, if that qualifies for online dating. But anyway that was a long time ago.  Reason I  am here today is, I am fed up of all the weird guys that my mom sends as “the probable match” for me; apparently with whom I would spend rest of my life happily. She tries to find folks who have been in USA so that it’s easy for me to say yes. But I find them worse than actual Indians staying in India. One of them asks for a photo o...

This was a trip that I had not planned for. My friends were going to Vegas, and I said I will join them if we do Bryce & Zion national parks as well. They agreed and I flew to Vegas. I did not have time to find out about trails, and with the group I knew we couldn't do a lot of extreme trekking. We stayed in a cabin just 2 miles from the Bryce Canyon National park the previous night. Plan was to see sunrise in Bryce Park. That night we looked up all the available trails, what options were available for us that we could complete in 4 hours. Novajo Trail was our pick.  We were in the park by 6:15 AM, saw sunrise at their sunrise point, the entire canyon lit up slowly with touch of every first ray of sun. It was a beautiful view. You might think all canyons are same but you would be surprised how different they are, unique in their own ways. Bryce Canyon I have seen sunrise and sunset in various Red rock canyons like Arches, Grand Canyon, DeadHorse, Red Rocks, Cany...

Love knows no boundaries. We have heard this and a part of us has seen and does believe this too. I am one of those who never believed in love and today, know quite a lot about the bitter sweet craziness of that thing called love .  But the word romance for me was always related to love between two opposite sex.  Being for so long in USA and exposed to various kinds of culture here; I have seen and lived among gays and lesbians. But I never had any specific view about them - nothing good, nothing bad; just neutral. They were just like any other person I see daily, I never paid any specific attention. But I also never related love or romance to them. Obviously they were in love and in relationship; but I could probably never understand. I never watched any gay/lesbian romantic movies; it never occurred to me. Whenever I selected romantic comedy movies for watching, those movies would never show up in the list, so it never existed for me. I generally get into th...
