That there are memories that are worth holding onto. I’m lucky that in my boyfriend’s life I am the first.  I have no one to compete with that I know of. I was just watching the movie Little Black Book and I also watched Muriel’s Wedding (whose main character freakishly reminded me of me!) and I realized that there are memories that I have to hold onto that not many others can say that they have.

>I’ve had more than 6 men say that they have feelings for me.(and out of those 6 I’ve dated 3)

>I’ve been called a catch (by many people who weren’t paid or obligated to)

>I’ve been given the opportunities to succeed in life (which I thank God for daily but take for grated)

>I’ve met many many many amazing people along the way (many who have not been surrounded with the same kind of support base)

>I’ve been an individual who has been seen to others as being overly forgiving and a “social butterfly”(even though I feel alone most of the time)

>I’ve been seen to show potential as a great leader and I’ve been told such by my peers and bosses over the past year

>I’ve been let down and FIRED strange as it may sound (and under false pretenses)

>I’ve been in the lowest conditions a child could be in (food shelves and homeless)

>I’m the poster child of success for many people who are trying to tell a sob story about how their lives were terrible and their childhoods hard

>I am the statistic who CAN and Probably WILL make it in my cultural community

>I’ve been out of the country multiple times even though there was no chance for my being able to afford such luxuries

>I’ve grown up around great people and my family is still made up of Great people.

>I’ve fallen in love, and out of love and in love again…and I have an idea of where I’m going (though most of the time I feel lost)

>I am pretty (sometimes, even though all I see when I look in the mirror is a cow)

>I am dumb (But I am most of the time much smarter)

>I know inner beauty (and I know how to tell when people are being shallow and who I should and should not befriend)

>I have created something new for myself

and even though I whine and fuss and I’m annoying sometimes I know that I can always go back to the people I trust and know that they will have my back.

I only wish I had more people I could thank for these life lessons and memories.

I used to be in love with a movie called Kaho Na Pyaar Hai But I recently rented a movie named Saawariya which took a close 3rd to my 2nd favorite Bollywood film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.

MEANING OF SAAWARIYA

Saawariya means ” beloved.” But he’s not just any beloved. He’s the dusky, blue tinged (savla) God Krishna who is adored as Saawariya. On a more sublime note, Saawariya is the beloved who is always in love. But not every lover can qualify as Saawariya. Only the lover who stands the test of time…who overcomes all obstacles…who doesn’t care whether he gets the girl or not…as long as he’s consumed by love…as long as he remains in a perpetual state of ” being in love … ”

That man, that rare lover, is Saawariya.

STORY

“Saawariya” is a timeless story of two young star-crossed lovers whose passions almost consume their will to the brink of self-destruction. In this eternal tale of an ode to romance, stand two lonely souls whose childlike innocence and candour only obscures their inner turmoil, anger, anxiety and desperate wait for love.

An artist, a free spirit, an idealist and dreamer, Raj, is certain that he has found his ultimate dream when he arrives at a quaint picturesque town. A place surrounded by mountains, shrouded in mist and enveloped in beauty, mythical enough to be a painter’s vision or a poet’s memory.

However, destiny paints a different picture for Raj…
One silent bright and starry night, he spots a mysterious girl draped in black, standing alone at a bridge.

This chance encounter introduces him to Sakina, a shy and quiet, melancholic and enigmatic girl who continues to intrigue him. Thus follows the beginning of a new friendship, where Raj with his most charming ways and an undying spirit tries to win Sakina’s heart.
Raj is unable to accept her haunting past and their friendship pulls him into a whirlwind of desire, madness and romance.

Through Raj and Sakina’s journey together, we are reminded of the fragility of the human heart. In the couple’s anguish and test of faith, is revealed the power of unconditional love through a thousand layers of tumultuous emotions.

They remind me of Craig…i feel good listening to them with Craig.

The Script: I’m Yours

I\’m Yours by The Script

In the last sunday Stealing there was a question: what is your favorite romantic song …I’ve been considering so I’m going to put together a list and post videos here for the viewing listening.

My first I’ve heard before but have never paid attention to until my boyfriend Craig posted it as his favorite romantic song…I’ve been listening to it all night and I feel that it’s appropriate to be added first. I’ve heard many versions and I love it.

Junto a mi familia junto a mis amigos y mi voz
(together with my familly, friends, and my voice)
Porque nada valgo porque nada tengo si no tengo lo mejor
(Because I am worthless and I have nothing if I don’t have the best)

Tu amor y compañia en mi corazón
(of your love and company in my heart)
Y es que vale mas un año tardio que un siglo vació amor
(And it’s because a year late is better than an empty century)

Y es que vale mas tener bien llenito el corazón
(And it’s because it’s better to have a full heart)

Por eso yo quiero que en mi mente siempre tu cariño este bien fuerte
(That’s why I always want your strong affection in my mind)

Aunque estemos lejos o aunque estemos cerca del final
(even if we are far or near from the end)
Porque nada valgo porque nada tengo si no tengo lo mejor
(Because I am worthless and I have nothing if I don’t have the best)

Tu amor y compañia en mi corazón

Ven amor…
(Come love…)
Me siento débil cuando estoy sin ti
(I feel weak when I’m not with you)

Y me hago fuerte cuando estas aqui
(and I become strong when you’re here)

Sin ti yo ya no sé que es vivir
(Without you, I no longer know how to live)

Mi vida es un tunel sin tu luz
(My life is a tunnel without your light)

Quiero pasar mas tiempo junto a ti
(I want to spend more time next to you)

Recuperar las noches que perdi
(To get back that nights that I lost)

Vencer el miedo inmenso de morir

Na Tum Jaano Na Hum From Kaho Na Pyaar Hai

NA TUM JAANO NA HUM
kyo.n chaltii hai pawan                  Why does the wind blow?
kyo.n jhuume hai gagan               Why does the sky swing?
kyo.n machalta hai man               Why does my heart grow fractious?
naa tum jaano naa ham…               Neither you nor I can know…
kyo.n aatii hai bahaar               Why does the spring come?
kyo.n luTta hai qaraar               Why does it rob me of peace?
kyo.n hota hai pyaar               Why does love happen?
naa tum jaano naa ham…               Neither you nor I can know…
ye madhoshiyaa.n ye tanhaa’iyaa.n               This rapture, this loneliness…
tasavvur me.n hai.n kiskii parchhaa’iyaa.n               Whose shadows linger in my imagination?
yeh bhiiga samaa uma.nge.n jawaan               This wet weather, the elation of youth,
mujhse ishq le jaa rahaa hai kahaa.n               where is love taking me away to?
kyo.n ghuum hai har dishaa               Why is every direction spinning around me?
kyo.n hota hai nashaa               Why does such intoxication exist?
kyo.n aata hai mazaa               Why does it bring such pleasure?
naa tum jaano naa ham…               Neither you nor I can know…
dhaRakta bhii hai taRapta bhii hai                It races;it pains me too:
yeh dil kyo.n achaanak bahakta bhii hai               why is this heart

suddenly staggering?
mahakta bhii hai chahakta bhii hai               It perfumes like a flower;

it warbles like a bird;
yeh dil kya vafa ko samajhta bhii hai          what does this heart even

understand of faithfulness?
kyo.n miltii hai nazar               Why do eyes meet?
kyo.n hota hai asar               Why does it have such an effect?
kyo.n hotii hai sahar               Why does the dawn break?
naa tum jaano naa ham…               Neither you nor I can know…
kyo.n chaltii hai pawan               Why does the wind blow?
kyo.n jhuume hai gagan               Why does the sky swing?
kyo.n machalta hai man               Why does my heart grow fractious?
naa tum jaano naa ham…               Neither you nor I can know…
kyo.n aatii hai bahaar               Why does the spring come?
kyo.n luTta hai qaraar               Why does it rob me of peace?
kyo.n hota hai pyaar               Why does love happen?
naa tum jaano naa ham…               Neither you nor I can know…
