If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

Love is the most complex hypothesis that can never be resolved.
Poeple sometimes get into relatsioships to fulfil their basic needs - mine is love, whats is yours?

If only love was sun, it will give me warmth all the time.
If only love was flower, it will spread fragance for me in the air.
If only love was rainbow, it will show me nine coloured smile across the sky.
If only love was star, it will twinkle for me whole night.
If only love was breeze, it will wishper romance in my ears.
If only love was humor, it will make me laugh every moment.
If only love was hug, it will calm me down.
If only love was music, it will make me dance all my life.
If only love was prayer, it will make all my wishes come true.
If only love was strawberries, I will say: 'No, I don't want'.

Difference between being an Indian or Indianess....
Indian - Anyone born in India
Indianess - Person of Indian descent
How they relate to each other - A common history, a common way of living, a common language or a common outlook can be described as Indianness and to a great extent all these contribute to a common culture. What is character to an individual; it is culture to a nation. Hence, Hindutwa/ Indianess are the other name for Indian Culture.
If you are born outside India - Do you call yourself Indian or of Indian origin? Definitely you are not Indian but you can still be following Indianness i.e. Indian culture.
I have known several people born outside India; argue that people born in India are not Indian enough? What do you define as criteria for being Indian enough? Our culture being the most tolerant doesn't have any set boundaries. It is lenient enough for individual to decide what they wish or do not wish to do and hence, I do not agree with anyone scaling others being Indian enough.
If everyone is wondering, this blog is in response to my thought process about a furious argument I had with one my best friend here in UK. She so confused between being an Indian and being of Indian origin. Her argument was that people from India whom she has met before in UK, have branded her not Indian enough because she has a westernised lifestyle. And she wanted to hold the same argument for me to judge I am not Indian enough as well based on their criteria. God knows what criteria these were?!!! Unfortunately, I didn't have to give a citizenship test in India to revise 2000 question to determine me Indian enough: D if I passed ;). It surprised me to know that people born outside from Indian origin has very sterotyped views about how Indian should be. Similarly, I have met several Indians by origin but born elsewhere who confuse themselves with being Indian as citizen and being Indian due to your ethnic origin. All I can say to these confused beings are that you do not have to be born in India to follow Indian culture and hence, I believe she has every ounce of Indianess in her as compared to any other person in India.
Secondly, I could not comprehend how a third person's judgement about her has affected her so much personally. I believe that anyone can be judgemental based on their perception and their analysis of facts. These judgements completely differ from every individual and are not always true. All I can suggest her is, she cannot stop other person from being judgemental about her but she can definitely determine based on her own thoughts, if she agrees with them. I believe this power cannot be taken away from her by anyone and she should not let others decision determines herself as a being. You are what you want to be. If you think you are Indian enough, than you are.
I believe she had been judgemental about me based on her previous experiences but if I let that hinder my feeling for her, I am sure I will lose a wonderful friend. I rather prefer to remember how beautiful she is as a person rather than think about her miss-led judgements.
I think its important for us to remember that it’s ultimately her decision about a judgment being right or wrong that should affect oneself becasue there are millions of people who will judge you but 99.9% of them are always wrong about you.

Penny or a million...
Don't give a penny for what the world thinks,
You think such that world gives you a million for every thought...
