First Break-up...


Its very rare to see relations that lasts for long or leads to a marriage. We meet new people everyday, some we like and some we don't. 'First break up' is not something that happened for the first time, but its what Raj (name changed) felt for the first time when he saw his ex holding someone's hand and looking at him. Guys are known as 'Losers' when it comes to relationships as most of the break-ups happen solely because of the mess which a boy creates and the girl faces and eventually gives up. I am not stereotyping, I am generalizing my perception and my take on 'Relationship'.

There are a lot of relations that a man gets in with a woman/girl, be it friends, acquaintances, flings or lovers. Friends are for life is what people say but there is difference in how people live that friendship when its between a girl and a guy. There are times when one of them falls for the other for a very basic reason that he/she feels that no one can understand him/her better than that friend and eventually they take things to the next step but 8 out of 10 such relations end on a bad note. A person who is their to provide a shoulder when u weep, ears when u speak and a hug when u need may not be necessarily good for a relationship leap.

First Break-up is a story about a guy who is very jolly, fun loving and a happy go lucky but falls for every single girl (obviously she has to be pretty is what he says). Raj had numerous relationships, few serious and committed ones and the rest can just be termed as flings and infatuations. His relationships with all his girls were very different and he believes in one thing in which 99% of the people don't, friendship after break-up. Though the chemistry is completely different after the break-up, it has however worked for him. This never made him feel the pain of parting away from his ex's as he always used to keep in touch and be 'so called friends'. But someday he had to realize the meaning of breakup, the word which never existed in his dictionary.

It was a tuesday evening when he was all set and ready to meet this girl in town who was his ex from one of the city he use to reside few years ago. He had a lot of plans in mind as he wanted to cherish the memories of good old days that he had spent with this girl. As he dresses up and puts on the cologne which the girl used to like a lot and moves out of the house to meet her, he finds this girl holding hands and kissing a guy (possibly her present boyfriend). This sight broke all the charm and plate full of plans that he had in mind, glued at the crossing, for the first time that he realized that the girl has erased his name from the slate and was not bound to restrictions which Raj used to pose when they were seeing each other. As he meets this girl and the guy, Raj finds out that these few years have changed the girl's likes and dislikes and made him unsure about everything (even the fragrance that he was wearing for this girl). Finally he meets her but the warmth in her hug was missing and it was no more that special and she was afraid to be away from the sight of her new guy even for a minute which made things abnormal and made Raj uncomfortable.

Here he encounters his firs breakup, the word which was meaningless for him suddenly became a part of his life. The soul was weeping and the blood was boiling but he was silent and walks away from the sight of his girl who is now his Ex.

China and its love for weaker YUAN..

China, as we all know which tops the growth chart in terms of economy has a very simple tactic to achieve its goal and that is - 'keep playing at a low cost'. Today, we all look at china and its manufacturing capacity for any business we plan to venture into. People are making millions just on the simple aspect of cost difference which china provides and its only possible if the value of YUAN is kept low. US has been pestering them since 6-8 months to assign the right exchange value which china should have post analyzing their GDP and other economical aspects. I doubt china will agree to the calculations as an increase in their currency value(stronger YUAN) will affect the purchasing power of other countries adversely.  Hope the world is able to convenience them for its own benefit or else we need to learn the game - 'play cheap'
