A Mushy Weekend....
What would you do when you have loads of time in hand and a nice cold weather for company?
I decided to watch movies..Yes! Loads of it. And believe it or not all mushy ones.
Some on my faithful IBM Thinkpad, and others on TV. The list comprized of movies like Spanglish, Four Wedding and A Funeral, A Lot Like Love, The Last Kiss, DDLJ, and believe it or not Main Meri Patni Aur Woh!
You know there are some days when LOVE is all that you care about. And today was such a day.
The morning opened with me watching the beautiful sunrise over the Canary Wharf. It's funny how indulging a small treat like this can kickstart a beautiful day. It showered me with with so much of beauty, that everything else was sidelined.
The gloomy pessimistic shadows are now brightened by the optimistic shades of the sunlit skies.
I am happy! I am contended! I am in love with the beauty around me!
And I promise myself - "I am going to stay the same."
Some of the mushiest lines from my mush favs:
"I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it. One"
Nicholas Cage in 'City of Angels'
"I love you. And not, not in a friendly way, although I think we're great friends. And not in a misplaced affection, puppy-dog way, although I'm sure that's what you'll call it. I love you. Very, very simple, very truly. You are the epitome of everything I have ever looked for in another human being. And I know that you think of me as just a friend, and crossing that line is the furthest thing from an option you would ever consider. But I had to say it. I just, I can't take this anymore. I can't stand next to you without wanting to hold you. I can't, I can't look into your eyes without feeling that, that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels. I can't talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything you are. And I know this will probably queer our friendship - no pun intended - but I had to say it, because I've never felt this way before, and I don't care. I like who I am because of it. And if bringing this to light means we can't hang out anymore, then that hurts me. But God, I just, I couldn't allow another day to go by without just getting it out there, regardless of the outcome, which by the look on your face is to be the inevitable shoot-down. And, you know, I'll accept that. But I know... I know that some part of you is hesitating for a moment, and if there is a moment of hesitation, then that means you feel something too. All I ask, please, is that you just, you just not dismiss that - and try to dwell in it for just ten seconds. Alyssa, there isn't another soul on this fucking planet who has ever made me half the person I am when I'm with you, and I would risk this friendship for the chance to take it to the next plateau. Because it is there between you and me. You can't deny that. Even if, you know, even if we never talk again after tonight, please know that I'm forever changed because of who you are and what you've meant to me, which - while I do appreciate it - I'd never need a painting of birds bought at a diner to remind me of. "
Ben Affleck in 'Chasing Amy'
"They should name a gender after you. Looking at you doesn't do it. Staring is the only way that makes any sense. And trying not to blink, so you don't miss anything. And all of that, and you're YOU. I mean...
Look, forgive me. It's just you are DROP DEAD, CRAZY GORGEOUS! So much so that I'm actually considering looking at you again before we finish up here"
Adam Sandler in 'Spanglish'
"I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible"
Billy Crystal in 'When Harry Met Sally'
"Look, I guarantee there'll be tough times. I guarantee that at some point, one or both of us is gonna want to get out of this thing. But I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life, because I know, in my heart, you're the only one for me."
Richard Gere in 'Runaway Bride'

P.S> I watched the entire Season 10 of Friends yesterday. It was awesome. I cannot believe that there is no more Friends. This was the one sitcom that redefined the benchmark in entertainment. A lot about love, friendship and caring; I owe to Friends.

"You know there are some days when LOVE is all that you care about."
:-))))))))) I like this line. It's funny and sort of boyish ... anyways nice to know that you are having a good time.
Here are 2 more mushy quote ...
"I was nauseous and tingly all over. I was either in love or I had smallpox."
-Woody Allen
"Well, it was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were suppose to be together... and I knew it. I knew it the very first time I touched her. It was like coming home... only to no home I'd ever known... I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew. It was like... Magic"
-From Movie "Sleepless in Seattle"
very cute!
U in luv?
#Hi Rai.

#Hi Anon.

People always told me that I was a romantic. Maybe I actually am!

Cheers,

:) a very mushy blog... well, I am also no less!! watched couple of cute movies, one among my favs also : "Shall we dance" .. I luv to watch Richard Gere when he is coming up in the escalators to pick his wife with a red rose!!
I know ..I know...can't believe that there is no friends!!
this was one of my favs as a teenager, "when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible" and about friends, i share your sadness, it is, was and will be the best!
#Akshu, You are right! The way Mr. Gere smiles when he gets the rose to his wife. It's simply awesome... And then they dance!!
... To miss a chance to dance with JLo and instead option to be with his wife...
Very very romantic.
#Ya LL.
