Mein tumse pyar karti hu (I Love You in Hindi)
Have you ever had someone said, I Love you and gave it a thought, Is he/she for real? I mean seriously? Come on, it’s such a cliché. I don't know what this is with me; keep saying the word 'Cliché’ numerous times past few weeks but one thing for sure. I agree that 'I love you’ is such a cliché. I don't know the stats but I'm pretty sure half of the people who said that doesn't mean it or at least not quite sure what love really is.
Of course I'm not talking about love in general. I'm talking about the typical perception of us that is to associate love as an intense feeling of affection and an emotion towards another person with sexual desire. In most cases, towards the opposite gender. So, this does not include love towards family or other objects around you.
If you ask me what love is, I say it’s a foundation. Just like constructing a building, you build a foundation (love), and then you build the pillar (trust). Then you don't know where to go after that. You look at the building plan (understand). You keep building higher (love grows). Accidents may occur in a construction site so be prepared. Sometimes one of the pillar cracks (lose trust) and it takes twice as long to repair a pillar than to build a new one. Unfortunately, you can't build a new one because if you remove a pillar, the building will collapse (Getting a new love). As you build, you check for any flaws and fix them (Change for each other). When you've done building, you renovate/decorate the build (marriage).
Now you know why the Malays call marriage 'Rumah tangga’ (Stair house?)? Do note that although it’s not official, sex is marriage and marriage is sex. That’s the first thing people expect you to do right after you're officially married. And the meaning of life is to gain knowledge, create life and impart your knowledge to the life you created. That’s it. I can go on and on about how you need 2 opposite sex to create life and its relations to chemistry and physics on its negative and positive effect but I want to stay to the topic.
On another note, people (mostly girls) always talk about how guys tend to be unfaithful to the partner. Well, unlike most guys who tried to defend that by saying they know a number of girls who did the same, I say the argument is not going to end until the next evolutionary changes. Tell you something. For millions of years humans have been living as a caveman and base on scientific studies, they don't stick to one partner. Compare millions of years of unfaithfulness and only a few centuries of civilization with an idea that a couple should be faithful to one another. And guess what? There is no way to stop this until the next evolutionary changes, which is the next little million years. Both males and females are equally unfaithful to each other. The reason why there seems to be more number of males doing that is because, males don't go around telling their friends about it while females, more emotionally driven, tell all their friends about it. This is the reason why there seems to be more men cheating on their girl but the fact is, both are numbered the same. So girls, stop being bias by amplifying guy’s mistakes while you ignored yours and your girlfriends.
With the unfaithful and evolutionary topic in hand, here goes some religious aspect. A Muslim is allowed to marry more than 1 wife. My friend said, That is not a reason, Eddy. I said, No, I didn't say it’s a reason. It’s a solution. A person with the right mind knows that it’s impossible to make evolutionary changes in a blink of an eye. Imagine millions of years in unfaithfulness and suddenly, Hey!! You have to be faithful to your partner!! I bet 'that someone’ will say, Woah!! Hold your horses. We have to take things a step at a time. Why don't we let him marry just 4 damsels and I'm sure in millions of years to come, the guy will think it’s sufficient to marry just 1. And then the girls will be saying, Hey!! Why can't we do that too? I want him, him, him and him too!! Uuuweeekk!! Then 'that someone’ answered, Now girls, girls. Let me ask you something. Will you be capable of taking care 4 husbands? Will you be able to protect 4 husbands? And best of all, do you think 4 man can tolerate each other under one roof?
Hey, I know a girl can screw 3 guys simultaneously. I've seen that happened in porn videos but don't let your imagination run wild because that’s not the big idea. If you girls think it’s unfair, men are not the ones to be blame. Men are made totally differently from women. Men don't think like women and vice versa. So if you don't like how men already are, too bad for you girls that you have to go through menstruation, being the weaker one and have to go through PMS every month. Hey, at least you don't have the kind of rage and messed up ideas that men have. Be thankful for that. If you still hate men, then please build your own house, do your own hunting and farming coz as far as I know, women don't build civilization nor do they build houses. Well, not until now at least.
That’s 3 paragraphs of unfaithfulness, peeps. The subject can go on and on but as far as love is concerned, I did talked about it on the first few paragraphs and there’s not much to talk about love. It’s very subjective and argumentative. There can be a million definitions on love. To me, love is when you have that feeling that you know how the other person feels towards you.

“i love you" may be a cliche to you, so it doesn't change even when you translate it to hindi, you know?
so am i wrong to think twice when someone (soooomeoooone) says “i love you" to me?
and women are NOT the weaker sex, mind you.
when you ask if a girl can take care of four husbands, and you seem skeptical about it…
what makes you so sure men can take care of four wives?
it’s just that… men are selfish and they don't like to share.
while to men, women are to be seen and not heard.
no offence, i just love making your blog-life difficult.
July 25th, 2006 at 2:03 am
I didn't suggest translating it to hindi makes any difference. It’s just a title for the entry.
And you're not wrong to think twice when someone says “I love you" to you. It’s your choice. The one that says “I love you" is the one who have to convince. All you have to do is to believe or not to believe.
Yes. Men have proven they can take care of 4 wives and more!!…
Yeah men are selfish and women are to be seen and not heard. Too bad for you girls. All you have to do is to beat the crap out of men and show them who’s boss. Then you can talk about having more than 1 husbands.
July 25th, 2006 at 2:07 am
oh you're in deep shit, mister.
women are to be seen AND heard.
before civilisation, women were divine.
mother nature and etc.
but no, men had to get it into their puny heads that they're stronger than women (and it’s only physically, too) so…
VOILA!
here we are, men vs women.
*snorts*
sure, a handful of men have proven to have taken care of 4 wives and more, just so probably they can have a variety.
besides, of COURSE women can't prove they can take care of four husbands.
cause they're not alloooowed to.
July 25th, 2006 at 2:16 am
The term “Mother Nature" doesn't suggest that women are divine. It is the same concept as you would always address a country or a vessel as ’she’ and not 'he’. Furthermore, the term “Mother Nature" suggest that it resembles closely to women like it’s wonders, beauty and love.
If you don't like that fact, get a transexual as a husband, my dear. But one thing for sure, they're still stronger.
Women can't take care of 4 husbands because they're not allowed to. There are rational reasons behind that. If in any doubt, ask god.
July 25th, 2006 at 2:24 am
oh, i'm so ready for a full-fledged war, mister.
why i hate about debating with you.
you always think you're right.
well, you are most of the time, but hon, have a little humility.
when i meant mother nature, ETC (see etc)
i meant people actually gave credit for women squeezing out a couple of el ninos out of them.
and although i havent had the pleasure of going through pregnancy, labour and maternity…
it’s already known that it hurts like f.
anyhow, i probably would, in a decade or so…
and if God made men so incredibly strong and powerful, He would have made MEN get pregnant.
cause, hey, as you said, we aren't as strong, right?
He knew you'd probably never get out of the maternity ward alive.
July 25th, 2006 at 2:28 am
You're talking as if men and women are made equally. There’s nothing to debate about men vs women. It’s like debating food vs drink. Just be thankful that you're a female be thankful that man exists. Again, if in any doubt about it, ask god.
July 25th, 2006 at 2:33 am
this is never gonna end, is it.
there’s nothing to debate about men vs women?
so why, exactly are you entertaining my posts at two thirty in the morning.
because you, mr. eddy, want to win this nonexistant debate.
i know i'm giving rhetorical questions that i myself am answering, but somehow i know i had a point to make.
you love me.
July 25th, 2006 at 2:37 am
I'm not entertaining your posts at two thirty in the morning. You commented on my entry, as the owner of this blog and the right etiquette is to reply to commentors.
You love me too.
July 25th, 2006 at 2:38 am
*snorts*
i don't like you.
July 25th, 2006 at 7:56 am
The more you debate, the more you seems like you're trying to prove you don't like being a woman. Seems like you hate the fact that men are physically stronger than women, men are allowed to marry more than one and suddenly you talk about pregnancy. Well… too bad then. Good luck on your pregnancy. I'm proud to be a man. :p
July 26th, 2006 at 11:41 pm
i think i really am fuming.
i love being a girl.
besides, i kinda look forward to having little kids on my own.
but the unfortunate part is that i need a man to make that drean real.
who knows.
maybe it'd be you?
