Why do women cry?

When God made women, He decided she had to be special.

He made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet her arms gentle enough to give comfort! He gave her the inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times will come, even from her own children! He gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going and take care of her family and friends, even when everyone else gives up, through sickness and fatigue, without complaint!

He gave her sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her badly! She has the very special power to make a child’s boo-boo feel better and to quell a teenager’s anxieties and fears. He gave her strength to care for her husband, despite faults, and He fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart! He gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly !

So, for all of this hard work…

He also gave her a tear to shed. It is hers to use whenever needed and is her only weakness!

When you see her cry, tell her how much you love her and all she does for everyone. And even though she may still cry, you will have made her heart feel good.

She is special!!!


TCP/IP Protocol & Life

Ahh... the college is over now... And here am I sitting at my home at leisure. Don’t know what to do next. Lost all my hopes to join Infosys, maths giving me nightmares, my muscles telling me to go back to the gym, parents cursing me for not doing anything, etc... This isn’t funny. It’s something which I’m facing on a daily basis... :(

So finally I dared to pick up my aged textbook of Computer Networks and started flipping its pages in a jest. I finally settled down on the TCP/IP chapter. I just started reading it again. I was forced to do so in my class too... Lolz... But it was motivating. I could make out something out of it which relates the topic to my life... Read the technical stuff with patience. I know you hate them... Hehe...

For those, who hate IT guys and their stuffs, TCP/IP is a protocol used for transfer of data over computer networks. If it fails to work, then you will start cursing your Internet Service Provider because it is the base of Internet. I studied that TCP/IP uses a virtual channel between two communicating devices and uses sockets to make the connection. The data transfer takes place in form of packets. When a connection has to be established between the devices, the sender sends a packet to the destination device. Upon receiving that packet, the receiver responds to the sender with an acknowledgment packet informing that it received the packet. When the sender receives the acknowledgement packet, the connection is established and data transfer starts taking place. Now what if the receiver receives the data but fails to send an acknowledgment? To solve this problem, the protocol uses few algorithms to respond to this situation.

First, the sender waits for the acknowledgment for a particular period of time and still no acknowledgement is received, it retransmits the previous packet. If due to some reasons the sender still doesn’t receive any acknowledgment, it keeps on sending the packets. After a few attempts, it stops sending packets in no acknowledgment is received. Thus the connection gets closed and the data transfer stops. That’s when your Internet gets disconnected...

Now what this has to do with life? As I said earlier, I found the protocol similar to our lives. We have gone through it many times, but we never impede to give it view. We communicate with many people around us. I apply this theory to those who are close to me.

When two people want to communicate, they make a relationship. They name it as friends, love, father, mother, son, daughter, etc. When you want to express your feeling to them, you choose a socket, which is your heart. In case they are not your dear ones, you choose your brain. We then express ourselves to them. And when they respond to it, we say the relationship becomes successful. We start communicating with them using words and emotions and wait for their responses. Even if they don’t, we keep on trying. But what if the other person is not interested in listening to you? They may try to avoid or ignore you and may not respond you. Since we care about them, we keep on trying. But how many times? We do have our own limits of patience. And when the limit is reached, we give up and break our relationships with that person, like a divorce in the case of spouses.

We should make our algorithms, oops, I mean our ability to handle such situations better. We should not be too eager to see the result in just a short span of time. As one of friend messaged me, Life gives answers in 3 ways. It says yes and gives you everything. It says no and gives you something better, or it says wait, but gives you the best. Let the best be yours. Now what did that actually meant? Hehe...

We have to take decisions wisely as it depends how our relationship with that person is going to be. Whether you actually want to be with that person or not? Or the problems are coming due to communication gap? Or is there any reason? Don’t see how the person is responding to you, but try to figure it out why he or she is responding like that. And I’m sure; it’ll make things unambiguous... Try it...

With her, in the rain...

Rain and drizzle

makes the summer beautiful

fiercely running the waters

to the plants and lanes.


Rain and drizzle

makes the ambiance amorous

makes me feel the absence of her with whom

I can get drenched in the aroma of wet earth.


Those rain drops on the roof

melts to the floor

and splatters all the window

to spread the spectrum of colors of life.


Those rain drops on the window

keep crawling to explore

makes me feel that me and she

keep each other busy in adore.


Little muddy and wet

it pours and pours

with whitening strikes

of thunder.


Little muddy and wet

it pours raindrops like grain

makes me feel to embrace her

after every single drop of rain.


Let’s welcome the rain

which cools us from the heat

and let summer rain

bring the beauty of love.


Let’s welcome the rain

which showers love

and make me feel

that I’m not alone.



I Love You...

This is for all those who loved me, love me and will love me... Of course I too love them... My parents, my God, my treasured friends, the girl who will be in my life someday, my passions, my world, my instincts, my thoughts and my inner self, my subliminal mind... I love you all...

I said I love you... you asked why I love you? I was hushed then. I simply had no reason to love you. I love you and that is a fact. It is only the evidence of your own love for me... if I had any reason to love you, then I didn’t love you, I would have loved only that reason...

They say I love your eyes. They are like gems...

They say I love you hairs. They are like silk routes...

Love you because you are beautiful...

Love you because of this...

Love you because of that...

But I simply don’t have a reason to love you. I love you for loving me. If you love my eyes, will it still exist after I get blind? If my hairs are like silk and you love them, will you still love me because of it when I go bald? Won’t you love me if I’m not beautiful? Can’t you love me for what I am?

There are no explanations for why one loves their parents, or friends, or anything else... I love them. You eyes can go blind, your beauty may get faded but the love will still remain... because I love you. You will never die... it’s your body will die. And till you are alive, I’ll keep on loving you. The love for you will subsist in my heart. It’ll still exist even if I’m lying on my deathbed. It’ll exist till my last breath...

Mom, dad, the almighty, my cherished friends, and the girl for whom I’m waiting for, I know you love me. So let me say this:

I Love You...
