We are so different yet so similar…

Some days back I saw Salam Namastee… it was a good movie… but I’m not giving any review about the movie… but there are certain things which I kept thinking about… would like to share some of those…

In many Hindi movies, for love to grow couples need to have same food taste, same ice cream flavour, same colour choice, liking the same sport, n all such scrap… but in Salam Namastee things were different… it reminded me of my relationship with my GF…



There are a hell lot of things where we differ…

She likes spicy food… I don’t
I’m a Sweet freak… she HATES sweets…
She is quite diet conscious... I give a damn
I don’t like PaniPuri… She can’t live without it

Her Fav soft drink is Thumps up… Mine is Sprite
Her Fav fruit is Grappes… Mine is Pineapple

If she buys for me… she ends up picking some shade of White
Whereas me buying for self end up picking up some shade of Blue

She loves to walk… I hate it
She loves hill stations… I love beaches
She like snakes… I’m dead scared of them
She is scared of cats… I love playing with them

She knows all my favorites…
I had to SMS her and check some of hers

She never liked guys who were surrounded by girlz…
I’m a kind of guy who has got max female friends…

She rips apart a guy… who tries to flirt around with her
…flirting is my nature ;-)

She has done a diploma in fashion designing
I’m pathetic with dress sense…

Playing with financial numbers is my profession…
She is too shy to bargain even for prices for her services
...
...
...

I’m sure there would some more points to add to this list…

But it doesn’t make a difference to us… coz we have naturally got so used to each other and we can’t see any difference unless someone points it out…

And we love to fight with each other… actually if we don’t fight we do not feel comfortable… since years both of us have been the same… just that every fight has brought us more closer and we cant live without it…

And since we both feel that we have found that one person we would love to annoy for the rest of our lives we had given a serious consent and go ahead to our relationship…
But then that’s my life… would you like to share your thoughts….

Do you feel such pity things like, same colour, food, ice cream taste matters…
Does it matters how similar your liking is or is that… opposites attract…

What would be the selecting/deciding factor(s) you would see in this so-called closest relationship???

Its the similarities which kinda attracts in the begining just so a couple can relate to the common likes and dislikes which bring them together. I think its much later in due time when the closeness level is attained that you discover one another's true choices.
Common or opposite doesnt really matter if the bond is strong. But yeah the more the common, less the fights, both can be easily agreeable on things :)

Walla...walllaa..
itna difference...

Me always try to change ma choices to suit her needs...but ultimately things jsut scrw up..

So I think I need to keep ma choices the way they are, coz anyway, things are not going to work in the end...hehehe

Nice one Puneet..
Lemme read it again :)

WOW..wht an obsercation !!
I saw salam namastay too but never thought of thinking something like this..infact am wondering how come i dint noticed such a big point of the movie..Well may be b'cz i have none to compare my fav's with... hehehehhe...lols

Comming to the point of difference in choice ...i personally believe tht a realtion is based on understanding... & maturity is needed for sure! I mean one shuld understand tht every individual has his own way of thinking and so is with choice..so a relation must not be effected with those mere things..as today if i love blue color..its not tht i will love it for the rest of my life...The only thing which counts is understanding..b'cz understanding someone is wht caring is..and caring is wht love needs :)
So in a nutshell..No contribution of similar taste is needed in true love ! :)

@ Ephemeral
Thank u dear

when the closeness level is attained that you discover one another's true choices
This is true… that’s the phase when u are in the real relationship ;-)

Hi buddy…
Yes lots of difference… may be coz we have always portrayed the real self…

Don’t change too much for anyone… it all falls in place…

What is the prime quality ur look into while selecting ur mate…
Hmmmm
Catch the opportunity ;-)

But dont u think ppl come closer with common interests...or if it is love-at-first-sight then its a different story..which doesnt last long i think..

Liking a person and accepting him/her the way they are should be both ways..

so did u like the songs from tht link or not ??

Yep yep...me happieeee! :)

U're right...such tweeny weeny little things dont matter in the long run, even if they do initially!

T'was completely different for me and ma ex too....lol probably tht's why hez ma ex! hahaaa . kidding

I think if the couple has same/similar taste, it wud be too too too boring...innit? life can not be fun without those kinna clashes...when she wants to go for something n u wanna go for somethin else!

In the end all matters is how much u love each other....bhel puris n snakes dont go with u all ur life. ;)

Cheerzz!

Hey Puneet! Real sweet post! I think for a relationship to work you do need to have a few things in common, but if you don't and it still works, then what the heck?! :D As the saying goes, opposites attract! And it seems to be true at least in your case! :)

Blogger Dawn said...

Hey... pretty cool topic I must say :)!!! I believe opposite attracts!!!
When two persons are in love they do not mind in adapting certain nature or likingness as they dont find any harm in doing so...and I think thats a great match as...one appreciates the other...!

I was glad to read some of those points about U and ur GF...keep it cool and things will rock for yeah ;)

My best wishes for you both...may you fight all your life just to come more closer to eachother :)

Cheers buddy!

puneeet ... where r u re?????

st00nie also disappeared ... u guys eloped kya??
okok .. am kidding ...:p

pani puris .. yummmyyyyy can have anytime of the day :p

u scared of snakes..lolzzz
i too love cats ...

coming to ur Q...

What would be the selecting/deciding factor(s) you would see in this so-called closest relationship???

there is no selection factor wen u fall in love it just happens .. u try n accept the differences the goody goody part also the weaknesses
you try n get into the adjustment mode evn if u r not or very stubburn

no 2 individuals r same
nor anyone is perfect all have their strenghts n weaknesses..just that wat u call as love wipes the differences u start compromising n u accept the person the way he/ she is
thats how a relation is built on ... i think its the case even in friendship but not 100% obviously less than that :)

ok byeeeeeee
have a nice day!!!
get free fast from ur bujjy bujjy schedule
hugzzzzz

Opposites attract! My husband and i are not alike at all.
1. i am ALWAYS talking..and he is quiet..
2. i love to start conversations with random people...he is shy
3. i go return things so easily at stores, he never does that.
4. i am 5'4... he is 6'2 (hehehe)
5. he loves reading discover and national geographic... I cant stand it
6. he likes dr.pepper ----- thought of it makes me want to puke...

if we werent differnt..our lives would be so boring....it'd be like being with myself all over again, only the gender changed with some bonus ;)--- ahem!

i really love the fact that we are so differently alike.

i am so fortunate to have been married to Chinmay.

Arjun, DONT ever change yourself for anyone...you can tweak your habits, or the way you do things...but never change yourself...it almost neveer works....and the girl should like you for who you are..not what she prefers...!

Puneet, u and your gf shall continue in growing in differnt directions...u'll capture all the differences and be rich with all the excitement of life :)

Cheers.

Thanks once again.
Have a nice day ahead
Take care!!

@ Puneet... As u already said, yes Opposite attracts..

have u noticed one thing? When u are in love, u start liking the other person liking the most..May be u might have hated it earlier..

But lots of different interest is also not good in long run for any relationship.. After sometimes, u may end up doing things which u like or she may end up doing things which she like separetely... Giving the feel that care in relationship no more exist..

When one are in love, one get very little time to be together, so one feels they can adjust with it.. But when one is married & together for life, there may not be same stimulation..

But still our choices are lot different …

Thanks dear

@ Dawn
Thanks dear…

When two persons are in love they do not mind in adapting certain nature
that’s so true… yes we just naturally adapt to each other’s liking… and attimes we don’t realize also…

keep it cool and things will rock for yeah

My best wishes for you both

Thanks so much for sharing your view dear…

also the weaknesses
That’s so true… coz we all come with some weaknesses
I agree with your opinion…

But there is still a huge difference in the closest friendship and a love relationship… basically expectations… trust… luv… sacrifice is lot more in the later

I wont be online during the day time… might access the net

Hey so sweet of you to share about you and your hubby…

Infact I just noticed that first 2 points stated by you apply in my case also ;-)

Hearing from you made me a lot more assured…

only the gender changed with some bonus ;)
Lolzzzz hahahahhaa
Tooo good…

i am so fortunate to have been married to Chinmay
ooh that’s so sweet… Chinmay is a lucky guy to have you… I knw that work lucky is inappropriate coz everyone gets what he/she deserves…

I would love to hear that statement from my GF… through out our lives ;-)

u'll capture all the differences and be rich with all the excitement of life :)
Thanks a million dear… I’m so happy to hear that…

I agree with you completely on the advice given to arz000n

That’s true… we start liking the other person’s liking… but we never hated it earlier…


one get very little time to be together, so one feels they can adjust with it.. But when one is married & together for life, there may not be same stimulation..
This might be true for most of the current couples… who don’t give time n distance to a relationship to mature… but I personally don’t agree to it…
If one can’t be the same after marriage… then he/she was portraying a different picture…

Thanks so much dear… its great to know so many views…

Have fun
