Who will have the last laugh anyway?

Someone told me that the financial situation is so bad that women are now marrying for love. And added that it struck him as funny. Well, why wouldn't it? The joke's on women, undoubtedly men find it amusing. They think women want rich guys? Roger this : If brains were gold (more often than not, men labour under the delusion that they are intelligent) the Earth would be such a poor place to live in, which it is now! Suddenly, the smile vanished. Surprisingly, not surprising! When the joke is on men, it's either a pj or no joke at all! But who has the last laugh anyway?

Danielle Steel !! I've been reading her books and gotta say she's amazing at taking you through the length and breadth of a relationship..any relationship..b/n mother and daughter/son, father and daughter/son and more importantly between a man and a woman. The intensity of a relationship with all its glories and pitfalls is beautifully portrayed with occasional peeps into the protagonists' pasts and is intertwined with other couples and the parallels each draws from the other....or the journey of two different people in quest for that "perfect someone". I can't help but notice a common thread that seems to hold the central plot in quite a lot of her novels- its what I'd like to call as the "back-hurting-knife-syndrome"-which goes typically like...when the right guy comes along finally, you have the guts to say "no thanks, iam married". :)) ROFL. But reading her books practically changed my entire attitude towards love and relationships. It's not what seems to be that matters. Period.

Anyway, I also happened to watch 2 movies which showed 2 extremities of love- complete letting go of the person you love (or so you thought; like in My Best Friends Wedding) and the other one of hope and that of dreams coming true (as in Enchanted). But the many doubts in my mind are left unanswered.....or may be all these threw me into a bigger confusion when none existed in the beginning..oh, for the quest to know "what is "love" " !!!!

No, but a ventriloquist might answer you better. He can call your bluff, in your face and still get away with it.

Do you know the story of me and eeshy?

For the life of me, I can't figure out why eeshy can't live without me at all! No matter how much I try to get away from eeshy! Seems like eeshy just can't get enough of me. I pine all my hopes on a very important thing and wham! there eeshy is, making it unnencesary of me to even try to go for it. I go for an important exam and oh no! eeshy gives me just the right answers to make my peace with the results beforehand. I try going here and there, trying to get far away from you eeshy. Y don't you understand that?!? Leave me alone for cryin out loud! Believe me, my life would have been more better without you. I don't need your help-I don't need you to foresee everything for me so that I don't waste my time on useless ( according to you) pursuits! But you have this really annoying habit of not being satisfied with your help- you try to help me more with every passing hour. You have narrowed all my paths leading to one thing in my life: leading to what I want..according to u! but I don't want what you deem as good for me. I have my own plans for myself, thank you very much. It's high time you left me. Oh, btw, eeshy is the name I give someone or something I can't get heads and tails of. In this particular post, it is bad luck. So far, it has ruined all my pursuits and the way I go about to achieve happiness.

Thanks to it, happiness has become such an abstract concept in my life. Now there's no way but to give in and lap up what ever it has in store for me...but the fighter in me doesn't seem to take to it kindly..but the more i try, the more Iam getting thwarted.

Now, who gets to decide what I get or no?!? If any, I should be the one to decide. Who plans on this vicious and devious route to happiness for us?? But some people seem to have their way, no matter what...does that mean they are better fighters than me? Or does it mean someone deemed that as right for them? who is this someone? sounds like he/she isn't going to be my friend anyway when i finally get to meet him/her on the other side of the world....
