Christian Matrimonials

By Harrold Carter

 Having trouble figuring out what a man wants? Find that dates can go sour because you didn’t know the right thing to say? Do you spend a lot of time wondering what exactly is it that men look for in a women? Men can be just as complicated as women, and to women men just don’t make sense sometimes. Many women think that as long as you are pretty and well dressed then a man will want you, this is true to some degree.

You see men will want you if you look good and dress nice, but they might only want you for one thing. I think you know what I am talking about! Other men may be looking for a partner for a long term relationship, and yes, they do exist. The point I am trying to make is that men don’t just want looks for a long term relationship, in fact looks might have very little part to do with it.

There’s more to it than you think

A man that is serious about finding a partner for a relationship is looking for a number of qualities, so out goes your theory on being pretty alone. A man can tell a lot about you as a person by the way you look and dress as well as how you hold yourself as a women. It is widely known that men love a confident women, a women that can relate to them, a women that is there for them. Get the picture yet?

If you really want a special kind of guy then your personality is whats most important. A personality tells a man a lot about you, if you are funny, are you caring etc. When on a date with a guy show him your unique personality by engaging in conversation that will keep him interested as well as making him laugh with joy. No, before you assume anything, I am not telling you to be his monkey, just do your best to show him what you are made of!

Be interested in what he has to say

A major turn off for a man is a women that pretends she cares or is listening when it comes to communication. Make him believe you are totally interested in what he has to say, if he is boring the hell out of you then clearly he is the wrong guy. Don’t judge to early though, some guys can get nervous, especially around confident and outspoken women. Make the best of the night and give him time to open up, you might get a surprise, you never know.

Feeding his ego is exactly what he wants

Men have huge egos. To appeal to him and keep him smiling the best thing you can do is give him everything he wants to hear. Now of course it’s up to you how you use this information, but in reality you want to be truthful, there must be some good points that you could let him know about. If you give a guy what he needs and improve his self worth he will think the world of you, I promise you this. A guy wants a women that whenever he is around he feels like he can take on the world. Remember, behind every great man is a great woman.

Don’t try too hard

Women make the mistake of trying too hard when it comes to getting a guy to admire them. Men are not stupid, they can usually tell a truth from a lie in a very short period of time. Be honest and be yourself,if he don’t like it then tough, he can go find someone else. Remember, there are plenty of men out there, you only need one.

What Does
“
Ghazal
“
Mean?

By Rhett Downs

 Ghazal ! The word originates from arabic, meaning, “way or mannerism of talking to or talking about women.” Thus in fact it s an expression of love! But in this ever changing world the ghazal has become a reflection of the life around us, and now there is hardly any sphere of human interaction which the ghazal hasn’t touched.

To better understand the finer nuances of Urdu ghazal it is imperative to understand the structure around which a ghazal is woven!

Classical Definition of Ghazal

Briefly stated Ghazal is a collection of Sher’s which follow the rules of ‘Matla’, ‘Maqta’, ‘Beher’, ‘Kaafiyaa’ and ‘Radif’. So to know what Ghazal is, it’s necessary to know what these terms mean.

To understand these terms easily , we will take an example.

1. koi ummid bar nahin aati

koi surat nazar nahin aati.

2. aage aati thi haale dil par hasi

ab kisi baat par nahin aati

3. hum wahan hain, jahan se humko bhi

kucch hamaari khabar nahin aati

4. kaabaa kis muh se jaaoge ‘Ghalib’

sharm tumko magar nahin aati

What is a Sher ?

It’s a poem of two lines. This definition is deceptively simple. Please note that, every Sher is a poem in itself ! A Sher does not need, anything around it, to convey the message. All the 4 stanzas in our example are independent poems, Sher’s.

So Ghazal is necessarily a collection of two-line-poems called Sher. So the Rafi solo “rang aur noor ki baaraat kise pesh karu” is NOT a Ghazal, as every stanza is of 3 lines, and not 2.

What are other restrictions ? Many, and important ones.

Any collection of Sher’s is not Ghazal. Some good examples are ; the famous Mukesh song from Yehoodi, “yeh mera deewaanaapan hai” ; and the title song of “dil apana aur preet parayi”. Each stanza in these songs can be considered as an independent Sher, but they are NOT Ghazal’s. To understand, why, we have to wait till ‘Kaafiyaa, ‘Radif’.

What is ‘Beher’ ?

‘Beher’ is the ‘meter’ of the Sher’s. It can be considered as the length of the Sher. Both the lines in the Sher *MUST* be of same ‘Beher’. And all the Sher’s in one Ghazal *MUST* be of the same ‘Beher’. There are 19 (!!) kinds of ‘Beher’. But in simple terms, ‘Beher’ is categorized in 3 classes. Short, medium, long.

Small :

ahale dairo-haram reh gaye

tere deewane kam reh gaye

Also Talat song, “dil-e-nadan tuze hua kya hai”

Medium :

umr jalwo me basar ho, ye zaruri to nahin

har shab-e-gam ki seher ho, ye zaruri to nahin

And by Gulzar, “ruke ruke se kadam, ruk ke baar baar chale”

Long :

ai mere humnashin, chal kahin aur chal, is chaman me ab apanaa guzaaraa nahin

baat hoti gulon ki, to seh lete hum, ab to kaaton pe bhi haq hamaaraa nahin

The filmfare winner, “Manzile apani jagah hai” !! Yes ! It IS a Ghazal. And the Shayar is Prakash Mehra !! surprise , surprise !!

So Ghazal is a collection of Sher’s of SAME ‘Beher’.

What is ‘Radif’ ?

In a Ghazal, second line of all the Sher’s MUST end with the SAME word/s. This repeating common words is the Radif’ of the Ghazal. In our example, the ‘Radif’ is “nahin aati”. Sometimes, the Ghazal becomes known by its ‘Radif’. eg. “jaraa aahista chal” sung by Pankaj Udhas. On RMIM we all know one Ghazal by the ‘Radif’ as “aahista aahista”, don’t we ? or is it 2 or 3 ?

What is ‘Kaafiyaa’ ?

‘Kaafiyaa’ is the rhyming pattern which all the words before ‘Radif’ MUST have. In our example the ‘Kaafiyaa’ is “bar”, “nazar”, “par”, “magar” etc. This is a necessary requirement. Something which is followed even in the exceptions to all these rules.

So Ghazal is a collection of Sher’s of same ‘Beher’, ending in same ‘Radif’ and having same ‘Kaafiyaa’. That’s the reason, why “yeh mera diwanapan hai” etc. are NOT Ghazals. There is no common thing which can be called ‘Kaafiyaa’ and ‘Radif’.

What is ‘Matla’ ?

The first Sher in the Ghazal *MUST* have ‘Radif’ in its both lines. This Sher is called ‘Matla’ of the Ghazal and the Ghazal is usually known after its ‘Matla’. There can be more than one ‘Matla’ in a Ghazal. In such a case the second one is called ‘Matla-e-saani’ or ‘Husn-e-matla’. In our example, the first Sher is the ‘Matla’.

What is ‘Maqta’ ?

A Shayar usually has an alias ie. ‘takhallus’ eg. Mirza Asadullakhan used ‘Ghalib’ as his ‘takhallus’ and is known by that. Other examples are ‘Daag’ Dehlvi, ‘Mir’ Taqi Mir, Said ‘Rahi’, Ahmed ‘Faraz’ etc. There is a Sher in a Ghazal, the last one, which has the Shayar’s ‘takhallus’ in it. A Shayar, can use the ‘Maqta’ very intelligently. He can “talk to himself” like one in our example. I have lots of favourite Sher’s which are ‘Maqta’ of some Ghazal. Some gems are

koi nam-o-nishan puchhe to ai kaasid bataa denaa,

takhallus ‘Daag’ hai, aur aahiqon ke dil me rehte hai

and

jab bhi milte hain, to kehte hain, “kaise ho ‘Shakil’”,

iske aage to koi baat nahin hoti hai

The first one uses the meaning of the ‘takhallus’ to create the magic, and the second one is just simple, simply beautiful.

To summarize, Ghazal is a collection of Sher’s (independent two-line poems), in which there is atleast one ‘Matla’, one ‘Maqta’ and all the Sher’s are of same ‘Beher’ and have the same ‘Kaafiyaa’ and ‘Radif’
