Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighbouring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death.
The question: "What do women really want?" Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.
He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer. many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer. But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.
The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first. The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend! Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life.
He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He said nothing was too big to sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of Round Table. Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's question thus: What a woman really wants, she answered, "Is to be in charge of her own life!" Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared. And so it was, the neighbouring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.
The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. but, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen was waiting for him. The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened. The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she could henceforth, be horrible deformed self only half the time and the beautiful maiden the other half. Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day or by the night?
Lancelot pondered the predicament and then said to her that he would allow her to make the choice herself. Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.

The Alchemist - an inspirational story by Paulo Coelho for anyone seeking their path in life
As and when I read each leaf of the great book which have had a life-enhancing impact on many, I believed that no one can skip imagining themselves in the main character of the magical story, i.e. Santiago, a shepherd boy who dreams of travelling the world to seek the most wonderful treasures known to man. The way the boy chooses his path of life to reach his destiny which he dreamed really inspired me and input a positive energy in me. In the journey to find his destiny, the boy acquired great knowledge and wisdom by learning from various people like King of Salem, crystal merchant, his woman of desert, the Alchemist etc., which is the real treasure than the chest of gold he found at pyramids.
There are many lines from the book which I am able to correlate with the happenings in life of myself and people around me. Here are some of the already existing facts which the book invoked with an explicit narration. I have added few lines of my own perception against each saying:
"When someone sees the same people everyday, they wind up becoming a part of that person's life. And then they want the person to change. If someone isn't what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own." This is a common context every human have come across in their life at some point of time with some sort of relationship in their life. If each one in the relationship is ready to change for other, balancing on either end, then the relation exists forever, else it sinks. But everlasting relationships are built only if there exists love in it. Once a person finds his/her true love, only then he/she stops hearing to thy hearts when it speak the above words and concentrate on what his love want him/her to be.
The Worlds Greatest Lie: "At a certain point in our lives, we loose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate." This is how every person think, when something in his/her life is not happening as they expected or when they do not find an idea/path of how to make their dreams come true. This is the point when they start listening to their hearts saying the above words, because it never want to take pain to think beyond and want to continue without any disturbances.
The Great Truth on this planet: "Whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of universe. it's your mission on earth." Every human has a mission on earth and his actions are droved by it.
"The Soul of the World is nourished by people's happiness. and also by unhappiness, envy and jealousy. To realize one's destiny is a person's only real obligation. All things are one."
"When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."
"If you start out by promising what you don't even have yet, you'll lose your desire to work toward getting it."
"Everything in life has its price"
"Before you feel jealous of the freedom of the wind, you should realize that you are the one who hold yourself back from taking the steps along the way to your destiny"
Principle of favorability: "Beginner's Luck." When you play cards for the first time, you are almost sure to win. There is a force that wants you to realize your destiny; it whets your appetite with a taste of success.
"Don't forget that everything you deal with is only one thing and nothing else. And don't forget the language of omens. And, above all, don't forget to follow your destiny through to its conclusion."
"The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon entrusted." A shepherd may like to travel, but he should never forget about his sheep.
"In money there was magic; whoever has money is never really alone"
"Making a decision was only the beginning of things. When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision." When Santiago decided to seek out his treasure, he never imagined that he would wind up working in a crystal shop, join a caravan to cross a great desert, met a woman of desert and fall in love with her, etc.
"Intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life, where the histories of all people are connected, and we are able to know everything, because it's all written there."
"People need not fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they need and want."
"We are afraid of losing what we have, whether its our life or our possessions and property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written by the same hand."
"Every search begins with beginner's luck. And every search ends with the victor's being severely tested."
"The darkest hour of the night came just before the dawn."
"When you possess great treasures within you, and try to tell others of them, seldom are you believed."
Every person who wants to find their heart's desire and seek their path of life should read this inspiring book, "The Alchemist". I learnt from the book how to choose my path of life without feeling discouraged with the challenges I faced in travelling in that path and learning out of each challenge I faced. In the process of my journey, I met new people, experienced new environment, and learnt new things of life. Thanks for my friend who suggested this book to me. It rejuvenated me to continue my journey of life with everlasting positive energy.

Our never ending school memories in GEMS
One day, I and Sanjana stopped in crossword in a big mall. Even though the crossword is a small area, it consist of a large collection. And it is the place when I spend on reading books while waiting for my friend. I am a great fan of Sherlock Holmes and went to detective section. The worlds most famous address flashed into my mind i.e. B221, Baker Street, London. I always remember my English teacher Mrs.Subhashini in school days who is the root cause for such an interest. In reality Dr. Watson may be the narrator throughout Sherlock Holmes volumes, but for our GEMS, our favorite English teacher, Subhashini is the first narrator. I still remember each and every pupil in the classroom hearing to her narration, maintaining pin drop silence, involved in following the story with everlasting enthu, eager and interest.
I still remember about myself sitting in government library reading the volumes of Sherlock Holmes after the school timings. Even though ours is a small town, it has a decent library with plenty of collections. Whenever I went to library for the book of "Complete short stories of Sherlock Holmes", it was always already with some reader. I used to wait until the other person complete and then get hold of it. That much is the interest induced by our narrator. And of-course, I am a voracious reader of short stories in my childhood. I haven't still come across such a narrator of ours who used to describe the Watson's surprised expressions for Holmes wise interpretations from available short details of the cases. Her narration is so realistic that we used to literally visualize the places where a murder or theft happened in the story. Our never ending memories are they with whom we spent in school every day.

1 MIN READING: how the path was forged(From Paulo Coelho's Blog)
One day, a calf needed to cross a virgin forest in order to return to its pasture. Being an irrational animal, it forged out a tortuous path full of bends, up and down hills.
The next day, a dog came by and used the same path to cross the forest. Next it was a sheep’s turn, the head of a flock which, upon finding the opening, led its companions through it.
Later, men began using the path: they bent down, deviating obstacles, complaining and cursing – and quite rightly so. But they did nothing to create a different route.
After so much use, in the end, the path became a trail along which poor animals toiled under heavy loads, being forced to go three hours to cover a distance which would normally take thirty minutes.
Many years passed and the trail became the main road of a village, and later the main avenue of a town. Everyone complained about the traffic, because the route it took was the worst possible one.
Meanwhile, the old and wise forest laughed, at seeing how men tend to blindly follow the way already open, without ever asking whether it really is the best choice.

20 SEC READING: How poor we are
One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from the trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”
“It was great, Dad”.
On their return from the trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”
“It was great, Dad”.
“Did you see how poor people live?” the father asked.
“Oh yes”, said the son.
“So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.
“So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.
The son answered:
“I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
“We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden and they have a creek that has no end.
“We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.
“I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
“We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden and they have a creek that has no end.
“We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.
“Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
“We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
“We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
“We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
“We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them.”
“We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them.”
The boy’s father was speechless. Then his son added:
“Thanks, Dad for showing me how poor we are.”
“Thanks, Dad for showing me how poor we are.”

Does LOVE retain for lifelong? - A concept reused again and again and now in Teen Maar and once again as my writing
The in-built defect of Siri :) Cheerzzz..., myself, i.e. analyzing various happenings in and around her life when I lead the journey of life. I either scribble or draft the thoughts into my writings, whatever and whenever I get into mind and thereby filling many leaves of life(pages from the book of human life). I have both the filled leaves and empty leaves in my life. And this is one among the leaves I filled.
I was watching the small 70mm screen in a small, but famous theatre nearby to our home with my friend Sanjana. The seating is quite comfortable without congested spacing between the rows unlike as in Imax or any other popular theatres. There is a lot of space for the people to walk along to occupy the seats even though the already seated viewers stretch their legs long, which gives a feel of watching a movie on mega home theatre screen with QUBE sound system. As and when the scenes of the movie "Teen Maar" are going on, I remember the concept I have posted in my blog in the past immediately after I have seen Orange movie. (http://ethicsofexpressions.blogspot.com/2010/12/does-love-retain-for-lifelong-concept.html)
The movie covers various concepts like "Does LOVE retain for lifelong?", "The importance of exchange of looks during a send off, inspite of being together until then", "The meaning of few words in girl's perspective",
Though the human brains became more practical, now a days, in maintaining relationships, I still believe that they have hearts to learn from the people who are successful in maintaining a life long relationship.
I can still remember my friend, Sanjana staring her eyes in the direction of her life partner when he is leaving India for long term. Her heart is throbbing and her eyes are probing for exchange of looks with her spouse inspite of their several quarrels and misunderstandings and asynchronous mentalities. Even though she did not receive the signals back from him, she continued until he is out of sight. I can sense her feelings. There is something so special in exchange of looks while giving send off to any relationship and particularly life partner, which I have myself experienced but with response to the signals I have passed to my fiancée whenever we departed everyday. A lot many feelings are exchanged in between us and which remain with me even after departed which make me feel promising and input positive energy in building the relationship more stronger. The petty things we do makes a lots of difference in life.
As everyone knew, girls mean a lot when they ask a question or respond to a question. Few responses will be negative verbally, but inside their mind they mean it to be positive and vice-versa. Only the guy who really love her partner can really read her mind inspite of the words she talk and do the needful. And the interaction/exchange of signals/actions done between the guy and girl in that process might be a jargon to the other people who think that they are foolish. But they do not know that their brains are not discussing with their hearts in arriving at such decisions. Now a days, most couples are successful in reading their partner's mind with ease and satisfying him/her equally.

Some of them are celebrating their significance while many of them are gathering information and advertising to gain significance. Everyone turned up to promote their business and achieve some leads for themselves. The educational institutes are busily engaged in information gathering of various companies which may be interested for campus recruitment.

Showcases that inspired me:
1. MoveInSync - They have developed a software product that can monitor the number of persons travelling in a cab and also track the path of the cab on the map. The cab would be provided with a GPS device and an adroid mobile phone. When a official or passenger enters the cab, he should login into the system provided in adroid phone. The signals from GPS are used by adroid phone to transfer and display the exact location of the cab. So, once the user login, his/her name would be displayed in the system used by Transport manager or inspector or concerned official in the office. Once the user logs out, the monitoring official will know by checking the system. The login and logout times will provide you the data of how many users exist still in the cab, dropped down at their respective places, including the information of the places where they are dropped and how many people still remaining. A good GPS tracking system that monitors the security of the people travelling in the cabs. This system can be used anywhere like school buses, etc where the travelling mode and the persons travelling should be monitored from start up to end point. This application can also be extended to billing of the transportation. It can also be used to monitor the workers who may need to travel some distance for field work to attend complaints or workshops.

Listen to My Vision
"In the past, every story used to begin with "once upon a time....". The trend, now a days, took a new shape. Every story has its own begin and end. Every writer has their own style of beginning and ending a story. And every narrator has their own concept and approach. So, in this modern world which demands novelty and excitement in each and every happening in a story or in real life, it is just the application of the evergreen Darwin's theory of natural selection "survival of the fittest". The one who reaches the masses with his/her writings live in people's minds forever.
So, now comes the question of "How to reach those masses?" Do you need to read the books of famous authors? My answer to this question is absolutely "NO". Be a voracious reader. But, never discriminate your reading based on the author. Never limit the choice based on the authors. You can do this to enjoy the moments of selecting your favorite writers, favorite styles of writings, and on the whole to enjoy your reading. But if you want to start writing, you should never read focusing on the author, but focus on how do you yourself present anything you have read. And slowly, you should be the one who only writes, rather than one who read. And by reading even after once you started writing will only lead your writing style influenced by other's.", saying this I lowered my voice immediately once I realized that I am standing at the edge of a rock and turned back to my friend and continued, "Doesn't it sound right.....Dear....". Sanju is staring at me. I can read from her blue eyes that the way I express my thoughts, is making up her mind confirm about me as a person thinking self-monarch, which I hate to think off at all. My intention is to let her know that my style of writing should not be overlapped by anyone's. But her advice is to read different author's books and get inspired.

Lost! or Outcast! (him/her)
Deep in my heart
there I felt
that
you can never be left
until myself become late
this is biggest theft
of what
I have in past
it is very swift one
for me to realize
and start
a feel of outcast
or a feel of lost

Jonathan Livingston Seagull - a story
This presentation of my writings on this fable is dedicated to my Best Friend , who suggested me reading it.
This is the first story book, I have ever read at early hours i.e. 2.30AM to 4.58AM :)
Thanks much for my dearest friend for her gift to me i.e. her suggestion.
An Inspirational fable about a seagull who learnt about the life and flight and fight to outcast the limits of flight. The story reveals the theory of self-perfection, i.e. what is self perfection and how can it be achieved. It added to my theory I have presented in my older posts as follows:
An amalgam of smile and open expressive words and heartful contribution bring a charm across your cool personality n calm life - These are the characters of ideal personality and ideal life as per me
I beleive in it and always trying to follow it to reach that ideality... :-)
If we are not ideal, atleast we can try to be...
Lt (Human ) = 1
Life->ideal
The story conveys a lot of inspiring quotes. I am presenting some of the line from the book which reached the depth of my mind.
" Heaven is not a place, and it is not a time. Heaven is being perfect." - The second most favorite line
"The gulls who scorn perfection for the sake of travel go nowhere, slowly.
Those who put aside travel for the sake of perfection go anywhere, instantly."
"If our friendship depends on things like space and time, then when we finally overcome space and time, we've destroyed our own brotherhood! But overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now. And in the middle of Here and Now, don't you think that we might see each other once or twice?" (This sentence is very difficult for me to analyze ;) )
"whatever stands against the freedom must be set aside, be it ritual or superstition or limitation in any form."
"You have to practice and see the real gull, the good in every one of them, and to help them see it in themselves."
"Don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you'll see the way to fly." - the line which I like the most.
Every living being is born to live for a reason, not just to eat and sleep. The meaning of our living on Earth is justified when we fix a goal and learn to find Love, Kind, Joy in acquiring the achievements. We are appreciated for our achievement when we have the perfection in the outcome. The failures or comments coming in the way of acquiring perfection should only serve us as a driving force to learn more and more. There are no limits for perfection and thus our life is ever learning process to achieve 100% of it.
This is the first story book, I have ever read at early hours i.e. 2.30AM to 4.58AM :)
Thanks much for my dearest friend for her gift to me i.e. her suggestion.
An Inspirational fable about a seagull who learnt about the life and flight and fight to outcast the limits of flight. The story reveals the theory of self-perfection, i.e. what is self perfection and how can it be achieved. It added to my theory I have presented in my older posts as follows:
An amalgam of smile and open expressive words and heartful contribution bring a charm across your cool personality n calm life - These are the characters of ideal personality and ideal life as per me
I beleive in it and always trying to follow it to reach that ideality... :-)
If we are not ideal, atleast we can try to be...
Lt (Human ) = 1
Life->ideal
The story conveys a lot of inspiring quotes. I am presenting some of the line from the book which reached the depth of my mind.
" Heaven is not a place, and it is not a time. Heaven is being perfect." - The second most favorite line
"The gulls who scorn perfection for the sake of travel go nowhere, slowly.
Those who put aside travel for the sake of perfection go anywhere, instantly."

FRIEND - a gifted relation to every human - Scene 2
Few people become so close that we cannot live without thinking about them, without feeling responsible for them, without feeling to have beside them and without feeling to talk to them.......and we call them as our FRIENDS :)
Sanjana beleives friends a lot. They are her strength. They need not help her financially or physically, but if they stand beside her mentally once in life, thats it, she will never leave them and show loyalty life long. Sometimes Sanjana say to me, "I am drunk, dear......I drank the wine of FRIENDS, and I am unable to come out of that hangover". Many times I told her, "you shouldn't use the word "drunk" for that. You should tell that you are high". But she never cares and never listen. She just repeat again the same words "No...No...I am drunk, dear......I drank the wine of FRIENDS, and I am unable to come out of the hangover".
Sanjana always have some meaning to be conveyed from her words and ofcourse, as a close friend of her, I can understand it. I can sense she is missing something she usually enjoy from one among her six senses. So, I just asked her, "Sanju dear, did I hurt you without my knowledge". Sanju was first surprised and staring into my eyes. Then she showed a mixture of expressions and told, "Why would you hurt me Dear? You are the one who is always beside me, both in my highs and lows."
It is quite a long time that I have spent longer hours with Sanjana due to busy schedule of my personal and official engagements. Now a days, I miss to meet her alone as before. Rather I am meeting her in group i.e. usually with some other close friend cum colleague of mine. Her name is Sruthi, my manager to whom I should report. In very less time, Sruthi became so close to me that I felt like a part of myself similar to what I feel about Sanjana. Ofcourse, a close friend of mine need not be close to Sanjana. But still, I meet her in such manner so that I do not want to miss either company. I never analyzed whether it is good idea or not. But this is happening for quite a long time. The first meet went well and even Sanjana liked my friend's company, infact she became an admirer and fan of some talents and qualities of my friend. I know Sanjana come to the evening meets, for me only. But as I find her comfortable with my friend's company too, I didn't think much on it.
As and when days passed with such meetings, I and my friend started talking more about our office stuff without our knowledge. Ofcourse, it is a common human tendency when two colleagues cum friends do not find time/comfortability to discuss in office, would definitely talk more related when they meet out of office. But, after some days, Sanjana started feeling bored in the meetings. She can't express it to me because of two reasons as far as I know about her: (1) She don't want me to miss the company which I enjoy. (2) At the same time she doesn't want to miss her time with me. As soon as I realized the boring expressions from Sanjana, I asked her whether she doesn't like my friend's company. I clearly mentioned, it is not always necessary to include my friend all the time. She used to reply,"No Dear, am fine and comfortable." But still I can sense that she is frightened to speak out something. So, I just continued the same cos I want to wait until she speak out. Usually Sanjana share the depth of her feelings to me. But I don't know what is stopping her this time.
Today, Sanjana messaged me, "Can U and me go out sometime for lunch. Today two of my close colleagues are on leave. Feeling very inactive today in office." I am bit concerned when I read the message. Sanju is very particular in the message this time i.e. she mentioned "U and me". So, I just want to clarify what is her intention and called. When she picked the call, I asked,"Sanju, why are you so particular, don't you want Sruthi for lunch with us." Again Sanju started stammering,"no....evening anyway we are going to meet, so let us two go now...." Still she is not clear to me. I told that I will call her back and cut the call. After that call we had a sequence of messages exchanged between us...as follows:
Sanju: If I meet Sruthi now and again in the evening...dosage will be more on my brain. It is enough for me to meet Sruthi once every day. And in the evening, even if I am not enjoying or not, I don't want to cut meeting you at the end of the day for someone else.So I will enjoy definitely.
Me: You will not cut me from meeting anyone else, dear...
Sanju: I dont know what else you want me to tell. From my side I am clear, I don't want u to miss something and I don't want me to miss you. As simple as tat.
Me: Leave it here... I got what your are saying
Sanju: why should I interrupt ur interests, dear...
Sanju: I am just making a humble request for lunch with u. Am not cutting you to meet anyone. if not possible no problem, I will adjust. Got used to tat.
Sanju: thanks if you really understood that there are no negative thoughts in me. At the end of the day, I don't mind to be mad taurean, but not bad.
Me: Sanju... You are hurting me by making certain statements... I am not liking this way of yours... Before your brain says some thing...give a minute to think.
Sanju: Dear...could u pls let me know which statement of mine hurt u. cos some signal prob or bad communication b/w brain n heart. (actually in this message brain means sanju and heart means "me" in Sanju's point of view)
Me: I deleted your messages...Can you resend the last three...third from last is a problem
Sanju: Is it this message which I am sending now "I am just making a humble request for lunch with u.am not cuting u to meet anyone. if not possible no problem, i will adjust.got used to tat"
Sanju: Is it this message?
Sanju: I just mean to say something, that I got used to the happenings in my life, and nothing related to anythng in b/w u n me.
and after this I didn't reply to her messages........After some time again Sanju messaged me:
Sanju: I just want some time to spend with my heart. For that also I need to give these many explanations.
Sanju: If I say I don't want to spend time with u, and in that case, if you had asked these many questions, I would have felt that I have done some wrong.
Sanju: something is going wrong somewhere with me. Am not knowing whether the wrong is on my side or may be manufacturing defect in me.
Sanju: only happiness in the conversation we have done now is the sharing level u had shown with me. Thanks much. even though you are angry with me, pls dont let it down.
still I sent no messages to her......then after sometime....
Sanju: Dear, let us cancel the lunch. You have your lunch as usual. Let us meet in the evening with Sruthi.
Sanju: even though I meet u now, I don't think I will be in a mood to spend time with you in a proper manner. just feel to cry may be.
Sanju: so better we don't meet now .keep cool. no matter. I will make my brain server up and continue my work.
thats it...I called her immediately once I read this message from her. I started scolding, "Is everything your wish? Deciding whether to go out for a lunch and cancelling the same......are both your decisions!!!. Fine start off. We shall go out for lunch".
Sanju came to my office. We both drove to a nearby mall. While I am parking the car, again I started asking Sanju whether she don't like Sruthi's company. First Sanju replied in cool tone. When I continued she lost her patience and showed frustration. But she never show frustration on me. In the process of controlling it, she almost broke into tears. She is just hiding her eyes away from me by getting out of the car. At that moment, I got very angry and am unable to control and got out of the car and closed the door very furiously. It banged with a loud sound. Sanju was shocked with my violent actions and started trying to get control of her brain and expressions. She realized my anger and started running behind me, as I walked fast. She tried to smile and said,"Dear..." in low voice. I am out of control this time and shouted, "whenever you show your negative expression, we have to bear and you can't bear my anger!!!" Sanju just replied in low voice,"Even now, I am not happy, I am just controlling myself for you."
We walked to the food court, got an order and sat. Then we started talking in cool tones and slowly cracked few jokes. Sanjana ate very slowly unlike everyday. She usually eat fast. I asked Sanju,"Why are you eating very slowly today." She simply smiled and replied, "I want to spend more time with you". I said,"Even we can eat fast and spend time together roaming in the mall." Sanju was surprised with my remark and smiled and replied nothing. Once we finished our lunch, I took Sanjana to crossword. In the crossword I met one of my friends who is sitting and reading some book. I had a short talk with her and started seeing the books. I found two books which I have read and liked much. I showed them to Sanjana. She didn't show interest in even looking them when I told. I just felt bit bad, but continued seeing other sections. Suddenly, when I turned back, I didn't find Sanju. When I searched for her, I found her reading the back cover of one of the books I mentioned. I smiled for myself and continued my book hunt. After some time gain I lost view of Sanju. When I searched I found her in clothes section. I am surprised how fast her interest shifted. I expected Sanju to buy that book and read. Anyway, I didn't continue thinking much on that and after sometime we left.
I dropped Sanju at my office. She left. After sometime, the friend whom I met in crossword called me. In the conversation with her, she mentioned she just came out of crossword. And she told, "By the way I saw your friend in the crossword still, and did you leave soon because of any more work in office". I am surprised when I heard this. I replied,"Do you mean Sanjana, whom I have introduced in crossword?". My friend replied,"Yes, Ofcourse, I think she purchased some book. I found her at the counter when I am coming out." When I heard these words, I am speechless, I just told my friend that I will call her back, and cut the call. I lost into some thoughts......Always Sanju never misses what I say to her. In some way or the other, whatever I do or not, she touches my heart....she value her friends so much.....

Communication in true Friendship ~ Response between Brain and Heart
I deliver each and every thought and also how my thought converted to my very close friend. Those are the sharing levels of mine with very close friend. Its just a brain transferring signals to heart. If I am unable to answer any question immediately, one can observe how much the brain is thinking or working out for not hurting its heart by immediate transfer of those unnecessary signals, or else, it has no data at that moment to transfer, that is when it pauses...I see my friend as a key part of myself.
