Dove Vs Pigeon

Shibani — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 19:43:05 +0000

A pigeon is a medium-sized seed-eating bird with a small head, short legs and a cooing voice. It’s very similar to but generally larger than a dove. There are many varieties of wild or domesticated birds, selectively tamed to carry home messages tied to the neck or leg. A dove is a stocky bird very similar to, but generally smaller than a pigeon. It is gentle and those who oppose violence are referred to as doves.

This trivia may be absolutely useless to you but I felt like posting it. I’m going through an identity crisis

A thought

If you’ve always been a quiet listener then speaking your heart out makes you feel like you’ve lost a bit of your soul.

Hurt..

Shibani — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 19:55:25 +0000

At this hour, what hurts the most is not old memories or words said or unsaid but the corners of wooden tables that you walk into when its dark. GN!

That’s some attitude…

I might not be someone’s first choice, but I am a great choice. I may not be rich but I am valuable. I don’t pretend to be someone I’m not, because I’m good at being me. I might not be proud of some of the things I’ve done in the past, but I am proud of who I am today. I may not be perfect but I don’t need to be. Take me as I am, or watch me as I walk away.

Thanks, Sandip for this…

When life gives you lemons, buy some chillies and make your own ‘Nazar Suraksha Kavach‘. It’s Saturday, people!

Happiness keeps you Sweet, Trials keep you Strong, Sorrow keeps you Human, Failure keeps you humble and Success keeps you glowing, but only Faith & Attitude Keeps you going…

Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections.

15 Different Kinds of Love

Shibani — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 13:58:52 +0000

‘You can’t hug yourself, you can’t cry on your own shoulder, Life is about living for one-another. So live with those who love you most’ – Author Unknown

Dr. Paulette’s article – 15 Different Kinds of Love:

Infatuation- loving feelings towards a love object that are largely based upon fantasy and idealization (instead of experience). Often when partners get to know each other, infatuation diminishes.

Romantic Love- An abiding love for a partner with whom you feel passion, attraction, caring and respect.

Eros- a passionate love usually involving sexual feelings for a love interest.

Compassionate Love- feelings of warmth towards a friend with whom you love to spend time

Unconditional Love- A type of affection and caring that is so strong that you feel it consistently, regardless of what that other person does

Conditional Love – A love that requires specific action or conditions in order to be maintained, for example, at its extreme, a parent who gives very conditional love would only love his child when he gets straight A’s, becomes a surgeon and has two children. The love is based on outside conditions and when they do not occur, the love is withdrawn.

Puppy Love – A childish love, innocent temporary crush on someone that you don’t know well.

Maternal Love- This term usually connotes love that is nurturing, accepting and protective. In actuality this love can also be given by a father etc.

Paternal Love- This term connotes love that involves guidance and some authority. Paternal love usually prepares a child to be ready for the outside world. Again, in reality this type of love is not gender specific.

Soulmate Love- This type of love is described as a love that has survived multiple life times. Not everyone believes in this concept.

Spiritual/Divine Love- This type of love recognizes the Divine light in everyone and everything. Love is given to everyone as an act of loving God.

Love of your country or patriotism- This is love for the place you live or the place that were born. It is a type of loyalty and a special feeling of belonging that you attribute to that specific geographic location.

Self-Love- This is a positive feeling that you have about who you are and what you deserve. It often is expressed by treating yourself well, respecting yourself, wanting yourself to be happy and expecting others to respect you too.

Brotherly Love- This term connotes having a feeling of love for your neighbor, because all humanity is considered to be part of a larger family of human beings.

Tough Love- This term is used to describe a love that is expressed by setting boundaries for the good of the other person. So for example, a parent may send their teenager to rehab if he is drug addicted, even if he does not want to go. They feel that this is an act of love because it stems from a desire for their son’s ultimate good and happiness

Music for the deranged mind

We don’t listen to loud music because our minds are deranged. We listen to loud music because it drowns those noises that derange our minds.

Yet again…

Shibani — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 09:41:05 +0000

Yet again am staring at the wall trying to make sense of those words.
