Some more questions (for both):
1. We often see , when a will is read out, people cry...what are the four possible reasons which make them cry...?
They are consumed by grief of the loss of the person and not really paying attention to the will
They are further grieved by the fact that the deceased had sat down, taken his/her own death into consideration and created a will
They are astonished that they are a part of the will and receiving something
They are angered by the amount they are receiving
2. A person should change with time- how much should a person change?
Change is a part of growth and a personal process. The degree to which a person varies; typically a person changes to suit his/her needs. Changing with time is adapting to an evolving society and culture. Changing beyond these parameters is exceeding the need.
It's a rather vague answer, but then the questions creates many more questions and suppositions. And a lot of the possible answers are contextual.
3. Love, possessiveness and obsession-where does one end and the other begin?
The transition from one to the other lies in a gray area. There is no defined boundary between the various stages. That line that separates one level of interest and passion into the next is a subjectively drawn separation that reflects an individuals psyche, personality and needs.
4. what is the difference between an aquaintence, a friend and a great friend?
I said I liked philosophising Adi, not that I've majored in it. 😛
Subjectively speaking... an aquaintance is someone I encounter occassionaly and exchange polite conversation with. A friend is someone I'll invite to parties, go shopping with, call up occassionaly and know about. A great friend is an extension of my family. Someone I can trust and rely upon, someone who shows up uninvited and is always welcome, someone who I'll send to shop for me, and someone I don't need to call to know what is going on because we spend so much time with each other and know each other so well. 😊
5. What according to you are the 8 golden rules of friendship?
Not so much rules, but neccessary components of a friendship include: Trust, faith, honesty, reliability, understanding, comfort, love and informality.
6. Imagine you are given a topic"heads I win, tails u lose" - please list out 5 points for both and against this topic.
? Either I'm too tired or I really don't understand this question. The topic itself is "Heads I win, Tails you lose?" How do I present the pros and cons to a saying that reflects only options?
7. Onece bitten twice shy... what happens if you get bit four times?
You are 8 times as shy! 😆 No...if you're bitten four times, you truly are a fool. The first would be a learning experience, the second may be forgiven as a mistake. But beyond that, if you haven't learned, you're not paying attention. 😛
8. "Out of sight, out of mind" - why?
Lack of visual reinforcement of a memory results in the weakening of the memory, ergo the supression of the memory over time. 😉
9."Time and tide wait for none" - what's there hurry?
Time is at the beck and call of all the armies of the world and the tide reports to the navy. Neither are forces to be angered. Air currents have a will of their own, which is why they aren't included...poor air force. 😆
And if you were looking for a serious answer... time is a human construct imbibed with its own will. Time has broken free of human control and now controls humans. As for the tide, ask Poseidon, the moon and the gravitational forces. 😛
10. What will be your reaction if someone says-"if i promise to miss you-will u go away"?
"I'm sorry...who are you again?" This person is obviously not worth my time! (a thappar might be involved 😆)
11. Would you call a guy, whose feelings are reflected in his eyes as weak or a guy whose feeling are never visible as strong?
I would call a guy whose feelings are reflected in his eyes, strong. Showing emotions is not a weakness (unless the situation warrants the lack of display of emotions, in which case this guy is in big trouble). And a guy who never expresses his feelings is someone who has some deeper issues...all humans are meant to express emotions. Supressing emotions is often caused by some form of trauma or a trained response to avoid dealing with emotions out of fear. Supressing emotions can also lead to further psychological trauma and/or imbalance.
12. A.Simi this one is for you ONLY.
Gee thanks! 😛
If you were to invite 5 eligible bachelors of this forum out on dates. who all would they be? where would you take each of them and how would the date end? Oh goody!... 😆
1) Rahul - a flight to Italy, a drive through the streets of Rome, a candlelit dinner at an elegant restaurant with some dancing to the tunes of live violinists. All throughout we'll spend the time arguing with each other and debating. His wit is apparent in words, it will be very entertaining to watch him think and respond in RL. The rest I'll leave to the overactive imaginations that reside at IF. 😆
2) Adi - a picnic lunch, very casual. We'll spend the time talking (I'm more of a talker than I realized 😳) and discussing whatever comes up. Then we get back to his place and I teach him how to cook! 😆 (He will, of course, be cutting the pyaaz 😛 😆) I'd be very interested to browse through his music collection. Overall a very comfortable afternoon and evening talking, eating, cooking and listening to music. And if he'll indulge me, some dancing as well. 😊
3) Sur - watching some ridiculous movie we'll both make fun off (in India mind you). Then off to a dhaaba to enjoy some real Indian food! 😃 Just a crazy road-trip enjoying the sights and experience of India (Patiala chale ga Sur? I'll show you the colony we used to live in then. 😊)
4) Ron - he picks me up, we go off for a quick bite to eat and then it's off to the awesome club where he celebrated his birthday. Now if I won't remember what happened during our date afterwards, how can I possibly predict what will happen beforehand. 😆
5) Bhaskar - a movie in, followed by a discussion of the movie, and then whatever topics come up. Then we head out for paani puri...and dinner out (his choice ... and his wallet 😆).
B. Aniji-this one is only for you:
Thank god! 😆
if you were to invite 15 members to your house for dinner, who would they all be, and what would be in your menu?
