Cheating in relationships

Author : Cee Kay      Blog : My Two Cents      Date : 7/14/2012 5:09:00 AM

'At what point, do you think, cheating starts? Suppose you meet someone and you begin liking him/her. You slowly become good friends. You begin liking the person quite a lot, then start flirting with him/her, then start fantasizing about him/her. Maybe one thing leads to another, you kiss each other and one day you end up in bed with him/her. In all this, when would you say you actually start'

Why do we do what we are told?

Author : Cee Kay      Blog : My Two Cents      Date : 7/7/2012 6:05:00 AM

'I had a big debate with my husband, cousin and mom at the dinner table last night. It started when my cousin mentioned that a company he knew of, made it mandatory for all its employees to get up from their seats for a few minutes every hour and move around or do some exercises to music piped through speakers throughout the building. While the intention behind imposing this rule might be noble ('

What's in a hug?

'You know, when life sucker-punched you in the face and everything that could go wrong, did? There’s a hug for that. When you just get beat down with one problem after another and can’t get a moment to catch your breath? There’s a hug for that. When you are so tired from the constant juggling and running and managing of schedules that dropping dead seems like an appealing solution? There’s'

NOW try telling me rapes happen because of how women dress or behave

Author : Cee Kay      Blog : My Two Cents      Date : 2/18/2012 5:00:00 AM

'Many people believe that incidents of rape and sexual harassment happen because of the victim's outfit or behavior. Many of them are people in positions of power which means chances are high that their opinions will influence other people's opinions. That is unfortunate because the fact of the matter is that rape is more about exerting power over the victim than about satisfying a sexual urge'

'I’ve felt the rage that made me bare my fangs. I’ve been filled with love’s bitter pangs. I’ve been to the end of despair and back, and then I saw a door open just a crack. I got a glimpse of what my life could be. I thought of the loved ones, and then I thought of me. They don’t go together, the thoughts of me and them. Oh how I wish I were the selfish kind of fem!

If there were no consequences

Author : Cee Kay      Blog : My Two Cents      Date : 1/29/2012 6:00:00 AM

'to anything that we do, what would you do? We all work (most of the times) within the parameters set by the real or perceived consequences of our actions. When we, intentionally or unintentionally, do things without considering the consequences, we face them. Eventually. That, I believe, also works as an effective parenting technique. What better way to teach your child to heed the consequences'

'Ernest Vincent Wright, I'm told, wrote one 50,000 word novel without using the letter "e". Impressive, huh? I've decided to try to write 26 posts - every one without one specific letter of the English letter set, going in sequence from beginning to end. Just curious - did you notice so long I've not used the first letter of the "English Letter set"? (Yes I'm permitted to devise my own words or'

Who says you can't go home?

'Who says you can't go home? (God, I LOVE that song!!!) I did. And I had a blast. Met friends and family. Got over a few grudges. Found peace of mind in a few matters. Got sick like a dying dog. Traveled. Learned a few things. Unlearned a few things. One thing I learned is that "alone" doesn't quite mean alone. When I told people I was traveling alone, the next question out of their mouths used'

'M: Mommy, do you know what is the smallest number? Me: No. What? M: 1! Me: How about 0? Isn't zero the smallest number? ( Did not want to confuse her with negative numbers) M: No!

Au Revoir

'We’ve known each other for a long time. You and I, we met in 1999 for the first time. We kind of broke up a number of times, when I tried other relationships, but we always got back together each time. Every time I went out with someone else, I found out that there was no one, NO ONE, who I could depend on or whom I could trust as much as I did you. And then, around 2003-04 we drifted away'
