When I was thinking about the title for my blog, initially i planned on Past,Present and the Future.But this title looked very awkward and not at all creative.Infact as i couldnt get a suitable title i kept postponing my blogging.

However I feel the current title means almost the same.Memories are from the past,Present is reality and we Dream about our future.And my blog is about my past,present and future.Any thoughts that i pen in this blog come from one of these phases of my life.

Any thoughts on the appropriateness(I was not sure about this word,but searched the dictionary and found that there was,indeed a word like this) of the title?

Do fights increase the warmth and closeness in a relationship???I am not sure about this ,but i feel they do.Secondly is it possible for siblings/friends/couples to have a relationship where they dont fight with each other at all?Or even if they do it is very infrequent?

Myself and Divya(my sister) used to fight a lot.The most prominent memories of our childhood involve our bitter fights.We used to hit each other and get scoldings from our parents too at the end.Though we dont do it as frequently as before we do still fight.The only change is that we dont beat each other anymore...;-)Most of the siblings i have seen share a similar relationship.

Why am i pondering about this now?Manasa and her sister Madhura(my cousin and my would be Sister in Law) very rarely fought with each other.They didnt have any arguments(atleast in public) and for everybody they were ideal siblings.I remember my father returning from mysore telling us how they Manasa and Madhura could be role models for Myself and my sister.I never got it.How can they not have any fights.When i ask the same question to Manasa she laughs at that.She doesnt find it strange at all.

Now I come to this question.Myself and Manasa have fought very rarely.In fact in three months of our relationship we have had only one little argument.I would like to know if there are other couples who dont fight with each other???Or is it too early in our relationship to expect fights?When I told this to Divya she said,get married then You will know.Is that true???

I sincerely feel that we need fights in any relationship for the love to grow.Too much of sugar all the time can spoil a person...You need some bitterness/sourness at times to really value the sugar.Am I Wrong in thinking this way??

This is my first blog.Was planning to start one from long time,but couldnt decide on the first post.Finally here I am.Hope to continue blogging regularly from now.

This year (2005) started as usual with a new Year resolution that-I will not end this year as a stag.In fact all of us had a similar resolution(Sandeep,Rohit,Pradeep ....Rajit????).But I never Imagined that it would come true this year.

What can i say about Manasa????We have grown up together.However I always considered her to be a kid.I guess it happens.You grow up but you assume the other person still stays a kid.In fact when my grandmother once suggested about me getting married to Manasa i had laughed at that.(To the uninitiated Mansa is my cousin.Her father and my mother are siblings).But I guess life has its own course.One 5 1/2 hour trip between Mysore and Bangalore ,my destiny was scripted.Thats when I realised that she was the one for me.We talked about lot of things,including our insecurites,inhibitions,thoughts etc.I never imagined that a person whom i treated as a child had so much of maturity.

We grew closer as days passed.My Free airtel to Airtel mobile had its maximum usage as we talked for hours.But i never let myself think about her as more than a cousin.I was scared to lose the new found closeness.

But She took the first step.She dared to admit that Our relationship was something more.We could spend the rest of our life together.Thats why I admire her. She had the courage and was willing to lose the existing relationship for a better future.Our future-Together.And I did take some time to accept the proposal though i guess from day1 I knew the answer.

I am excited at this point of time with my life reaching an important milestone.The milestone of identifying the one for your life.My future looks very exciting with a good job(that is taking me around the world) and a person who loves me very much(Me too.......;-)).I hope Life continues to be good to me as it has been so far.Touch wood.
