Partners in rhyme

I consider myself to be an absolute imperfect person and here I have been tagged by Gangadhar to list 8 different points in my perfect lover. I would just delete the "perfect"part from it:) It doesnt hurt to live in utopia once in a while. Where else can you expect an ideal world, except in blogs:D OK! so now ROS is just going to refer to her database and enlist just 8 of the most important aspects that she expects in her"purrrffeecctt lover".. Space and Independance: Hmmm, this goes on top of priority list. I guess each one of us wish to retire into that haven within ourselves, from time to time. I dont know how many of them consider this to be important, but for me, it is important to get detached in order to remain attached.There will be times, when I just wouldn't answer the phone or reply to an email. It is not coz I am angry or dont care much, but coz this is the time when I am connecting with myself and figuring out myself! Mutual respect: Very Very important. If there is no respect, then there is no love. And if there is no love, well then there is no point in being together. Respect for each others feelings and people. For eg: He may not like my friends, but should not have a problem in my socializing with them. Similarly, I wouldn't mind him hanging out with his friends whom I-don't-quite-like! Couples who play together, stay together: As much as you need something of your own to do, I believe that a common ground needs to be present. Pursuing activities such as skating, a bicycle ride on a sunny day. Can anything be more precious than that? Spending quality time with someone whom you love! I might not be interested in many sports, but teach me and I will play with you! Big surprises come in small packages: In short, someone who appreciates the finer things that life has to offer. Just like I do. Small day to day events that bring profound happiness. A small gesture that makes you appreciate the very person. World Traveller: This is the punch! If given an opportunity and the money, I would go to an exotic place every once in a while. However, I dont foresee that as a possibility. But, would absolutely love to embark on a road trip every once in a while. Be in mountains, or the hills. But, he must love driving:D I can give him company on the passenger side:P Accepting: Someone who accepts that people err. Someone who does not remind you of the mistakes that you have committed. One who accepts that a girl can have equally close guy friends, but it does not mean that she has a romantic inclination towards them. Who accepts that every guy friend need not be a boyfriend or a brother. Likewise, I would'nt be a suspecting and a nagging person:) Its not the altitude but the attitude: Attitudes do matter. Wait a minute! not about himself and who walks in the world thinking it belongs to him, but about others. Who would treat others the way he expects to be treated. A secure person who would be convinced that the reason I am with him is coz I chose him over others and that I would not get carried away. This attitude, according to me helps in establishing trust. Lastly, a person who makes me comfortable so that I would look forward to spending time with him rather than away from him. And a reason for me to fall in love with him all over again:) One of my dearest blog friends had once told me "Naye rishte banane ke liye puraane rishte nahin todte? Waise hi, ek couple banne ke liye apni individuality nahin chhodte" [Just like how you dont sever off old ties to form new bonds, similarly in order to make a couple, you should not forego your individuality"] I think in the end two people might be great people but you may or not form a great relationship:) P.S:-The above quote was made by "Sayesha". I think she deserves to be mentioned. Since Keshi and many others (who am sure will notice that;)) will applaud for that and I don't deserve that:P Now tagging duties, Hmm..I got to tag 8 people! So, let me think! Here is a list and I would be happy if they oblige! 1. Aria 2.Phoenix 3.Sudeep 4.Ujwal 5.Jeenu 6.Pradyot 7. Samelife 8.Nitin
