Hope it does not remain only clarifications and it does help…<BR/>@ tys on ice<BR/>Thank you. (bowing now). Ahem ahem what else do I say in all modesty, but thanks.<BR/>@ ajit<BR/>Oops. Did not know this would get equated to commandments or else may have done some more research. But thanks for saying so. Fully agree. Once the initial bonding is established both need to work doubly hard to ensure it works out or else it is tough. A number of our friends have broken off since each one feels that it is not a joint effort and looks at things only from their perspective. Guess there has to be the will to make it work successfully.<BR/>@ nandy<BR/>Ha ha. Now that you tell me, there are a few blemishes here and there, but let’s leave that aside for the time being – immaterial eh?! But the converse is also I guess true. When you find the perfect women she too has been taken – touché!<BR/>@ pranay<BR/>Thanks. Completely agree I am indeed lucky. I do thank god for the good things I have received in life.<BR/> @ vikas kannav<BR/>You seem to have adopted the moto – practice makes perfect. Keep chugging away. Sure you will that someone special one day (and there again maybe every other day).<BR/><BR/>@juvvi<BR/><BR/>Guess that's your view.

All married men ,especially the love marriage ones and those planning to get married,should first read these points and try to follow them, religiously , like the commandments .Ajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09256489139257111653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36418670.post-66033867204136033542008-08-10T20:54:00.000+05:302008-08-10T20:54:00.000+05:30:)loved it...believe in it...and living in it...be...:)<BR/><BR/>loved it...believe in it...and living in it...<BR/><BR/>beautiful....<BR/><BR/>* standing ovation *<BR/><BR/>u cudnt have put it better and thanks for reminding...Tys on Icehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09718530428063102986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36418670.post-75645066511835069992008-08-09T21:18:00.000+05:302008-08-09T21:18:00.000+05:30good one! ever since i read PS's post i was waitin...good one! ever since i read PS's post i was waiting for this post.<BR/><BR/>clarifies a lot of things, IMOTachyosonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07185428473721496024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36418670.post-79163381806580940062008-08-09T20:29:00.000+05:302008-08-09T20:29:00.000+05:30Very nicely written.

Therefore the moto should be to at least be one eyed. Lol.<BR/><BR/>@ Julian – Thank you. You are therefore the second perfect woman I know. Guess if I had known you a bit earlier, I would have quoted you instead of Aishwarya. Lol. Thank God for small mercies that Julian did not reveal he had read the book I had written on the Perfect Woman. So he like me seems to be on the road to achieving the perfect man status.<BR/>Seriously though, not sure if the match was made in heaven or not, but there is definitely a lot of effort which is made to make the relationship work, maybe a bit more from her side (given all my faults) and I agree a lot of the qualities apply to Guys too. <BR/><BR/>@ SMM – Yes, I know what you mean and agree. The decision should always be yours. But in our society that is not always the case.<BR/><BR/>So the next time I am in the Capital will meet up with the perfect man and woman. Look forward to that!!!!.<BR/><BR/>@ Tejas Lakhani – Good to be of some help. All the best and a happy married life to you both.<BR/><BR/>@ ShaZ – Ha ha. The bullish thing was my addition since I have seen guys behave like that in office and would seriously not recommend that approach at home too. If you have to indeed give someone a hard time let it not be at home but maybe a nutcase of a boss or colleague.<BR/><BR/>@ilakshee – Thanks very much. Not as good as PS though! <BR/> <BR/>@Balu – Thanks. <BR/><BR/>@ Diamond &amp, Pearl – Anytime. Hope things work out well for you. All the best to all of you and keep in touch.<BR/><BR/>@ Rohit – Ha ha. Yes, it is a lot of work but the benefits are commensurate. It’s like writing an IT programme. Work initially is painful and boring but output very pleasing.<BR/><BR/>You never know, it may actually speed up things since you now know what to focus on. Lol.<BR/><BR/>@ Mona – thanks!!<BR/><BR/>@Niall – Typical British humour, I must say. Having met Jan she seems to have spent more than just a coughing fit with you. <BR/><BR/>Thanks.<BR/><BR/>@DyNaMiTe – thank you and wish you too the very best.<BR/><BR/>@ Devil Mood – Post your comment it seems to have moved up a bit more, but guess that is not sue to my writing but more due to PS’s popularity.<BR/>Completely agree on her being the perfect partner, though not sure I can say the same from her point of view – working on getting there though!! She really at times gets up to some nutty and weird things and leaves me gaping. Yep, that’s her indeed.<BR/><BR/>@ Karan Rajpal – We try and provide an end to end solution to all scenarios. Should start a company I guess. <BR/><BR/>Yes I agree and btw I hate mcp’s. Thanks for your comment.<BR/><BR/> @ Compassion Unlimitted – Thank you and yes, touch wood. <BR/><BR/>I am a little humbled by the comparison to the Bhagwad Gita but in all modesty must say my writing was no way close. It’s just some practical experience coming out. But thank you for saying so. <BR/><BR/>@ hari – agree am very lucky to have found PS. But please note I did not leave it to chance. Grabbed her, before she had the chance to say no. Lol. <BR/><BR/>Yes, it was one of the best things to happen, the other being getting two wonderful kids. A great family compensates for everything else be it wealth or whatever. Yes one must try to make it work and life is indeed a compromise with both parties needing to work on their aspects. <BR/><BR/>You are a poet aren’t you – Whoa, monsoon and all that!!!Satish Shenoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263056523282998375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36418670.post-65844432107786287722008-08-08T12:00:00.000+05:302008-08-08T12:00:00.000+05:30Hi Satish,I am too glad in seeing a very healthy c...Hi Satish,<BR/>I am too glad in seeing a very healthy competition among both of u in adoring each other.<BR/><BR/>Both of u are lucky in finding the perfect spouse for each other at the right time, when u were both available for taking. So it was the best thing to happen in your life and i am sure it is also the roots for better things happened/to happen in your family life.<BR/><BR/>But as you have said yourself, the perfect guy or girl becoming perfect ultimately depends on the resolve to stay together till the end fighting together all adversities that may come in-between. Adversities in life are like monsoon, which may be quite a nuisance when they strike but definitely goes a long way in strengthening the roots of tree that gives the best fruits of life.harihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12770015716549903955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36418670.post-30080883816606562402008-08-08T06:49:00.000+05:302008-08-08T06:49:00.000+05:30Touch wood.Both of you look a perfect made for eac...Touch wood.Both of you look a perfect made for each other.God Bless<BR/>Most of us go through or handle life,as it comes.not realising if one did it right or wrong.<BR/>But to have analysed it & put it crtstal clear on a piece of paper ,itself is significant achievement !<BR/>Great job Satish & PS !<BR/>Enjoyed both the posts,and sincerely hope those in marriage line & those who are already married and leading life rudderless,take cue from this as a mini Bhagwad gita on handling married life !<BR/>once again Kudos on a great contribution<BR/>TC<BR/>CUCompassion Unlimittedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14502484998131301949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36418670.post-6732869885726287692008-08-07T23:11:00.000+05:302008-08-07T23:11:00.000+05:30The best thing about both these posts are their ab...The best thing about both these posts are their ability to keep both Mills&Boons scenarios and MCP's at bay. <BR/><BR/>I've applied the Information-Knowledge-Wisdom model at work, but in issues of personal life, this is the first time I see it.<BR/><BR/>Most of us have information and some knowledge about relationshipland, but when both of you speak, its with a rare wisdom.

Even though he doesn't want me to work, I do work so I can financially support him, I do everything so he can function normally -for instance even though i'm a vegetarian I cook meat because he's a carnivore and the 'immunity' didn't come until recently. I do think about his positive aspects, this is the thought that comes to my mind when I wake up in the morning, 'hey, atleast I am alive!'. But believe me it's difficult do share your entire life with someone who acts as an aloof room-mate. I will continue do what I've always been doing -clinging to the hope that just as my life turned out better than my mom's my girls will have a life better than mine!Diamond and Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12077852279621340642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36418670.post-49134182832510282622008-08-07T17:58:00.000+05:302008-08-07T17:58:00.000+05:30Great post,Satish.
