Aku Sakit

Aku sakit
Bila ku mengagumimu
Sadarku kau tak pernah mengagumi ku
Bangunkan aku dari tidur panjangku
Sadarkan aku dari mimpi tentangmu
Ku salah bila ku berharap padamu
Salah ku paksa kau tuk mengagumi ku
Kau tak tau perasaan ku
Dan ku tak mau kau tau
Aku sakit
Jika kau tau hatiku
Karna diriku tak berarti bagimu
Aku sakit
Bilakah kau sembuhkan aku
Tak mungkin, tak mungkin sungguh tidak mungkin

Jangan Katakan Hal ini Pada Anak !!

Memiliki dan membesarkan sang buah hati punya seni tersendiri. Apalagi, kata para pemerhati anak, tidak ada sekolah khusus untuk menjadi orang tua. Tak jarang, kita terlalu yakin mampu membesarkan buah hati dengan cara sendiri. Ternyata, tidak semudah itu. Berawal dari komunikasi sehari-hari, perkembangan anak pun bisa saja terganggu. Nah, bapak dan ibu, ada kata-kata yang sebaiknya tidak Anda lontarkan untuk buah hati tercinta.
Apa itu?
''Pergi sana! Bapak Mau Sendiri!''
Ketika Anda kerap melontarkan kata-kata ini pada anak, Suzette Haden Elgin, pendiri Ozark Center, mengatakan anak-anak akan berpikir tidak ada gunanya berbicara dengan orang tuanya karena mereka selalu diusir. ''Jika Anda terbiasa mengatakan hal-hal itu pada anak-anak sejak mereka kecil, biasanya mereka akan mengatakan hal serupa ketika dewasa.''
''Kamu Itu...''
Pelabelan pada anak adalah cara pintas untuk mengubah anak-anak. Jika seorang ibu mengatakan, ''Anak saya memang pemalu'', maka anak akan menelan begitu saja label itu tanpa bertanya apa pun. Apalagi, bila kita memberikan label buruk pada anak-anak, itulah yang akan melekat dalam benak mereka. Seumur hidup.

"Pak, Bu, Tolong Jangan Katakan Hal Ini Pada Anak (Bagian Kedua)"

Wanita Jago selingkuh

Jika ada yang menyebut kata "selingkuh", biasanya yang pertama terlintas di pikiran kita adalah seorang playboy atau sesosok pria yang sering menyakiti hati wanita. Selingkuh seolah-olah identik dengan perilaku dan kebiasaan lelaki. Padahal kenyataannya tak begitu.

Baru-baru ini Manchester Metropolitan University di Inggris melakukan penelitian tentang perilaku berselingkuh pada wanita dan pria. Hasilnya, 20 persen pria mengaku pernah berselingkuh dari pasangannya.

Bagaimana dengan wanita? Ternyata angkanya tak jauh berbeda. Sebanyak 16 persen wanita di Inggris mengaku pernah tak setia. Tapi sebetulnya pria perlu lebih berhati-hati menjaga agar pasangannya tak berselingkuh. Penelitian lainnya tentang perselingkuhan membuktikan bahwa perselingkuhan wanita ternyata lebih "berbahaya" dibandingkan perselingkuhan pria. Bagaimana bisa?


Wanita berselingkuh jika hubungannya bermasalah
Sebagian besar pria berselingkuh karena tak dapat menahan nafsu. Bisa saja hubungannya dengan istri/kekasihnya sebetulnya tak bermasalah. Ia hanya semata tergoda oleh wanita lain atau dihadapkan pada kesempatan untuk berselingkuh yang tak dapat ia tolak. Menurut Ruth Houston, penulis buku "Is He Cheating On You", hanya 20 persen wanita yang berselingkuh karena nafsu. Sedangkan pada pria, angkanya mencapai 80 persen.

Wanita justru sebaliknya. Jika hubungannya asmaranya baik-baik saja, ia biasanya tak akan berselingkuh. Alasan utama wanita berselingkuh adalah karena ia sebetulnya tak bahagia dengan hubungannya. Alasannya bisa karena kesepian, seks yang tak memuaskan, atau kebutuhan emosi yang tak terpenuhi. Intinya ada sesuatu yang tak bisa dipenuhi oleh suami atau pasangannya itu.

Menurut Helen Fisher, PhD, antropolog biologi dan penulis buku "Why We Love", 66 persen wanita yang berselingkuh mengaku tak bahagia dalam pernikahannya. Sedangkan pada pria, angkanya hanya 44 persen.


Wanita terikat secara emosi pada selingkuhannya
Karena wanita berselingkuh dengan alasan emosional (bahasa kerennya "main hati"), biasanya akan lebih sulit pula bagi wanita untuk mengakhiri perselingkuhan tersebut. Tak jarang wanita merasa jatuh cinta pada pria idaman lain tersebut, bahkan mencintainya lebih dari pasangannya sendiri.

Ikatan emosional antara wanita dengan selingkuhannya juga lebih kuat dibandingkan pria dengan selingkuhannya. Sebuah penelitian membuktikan bahwa perselingkuhan yang dimulai atau diawali oleh sang wanita biasanya bertahan tiga kali lebih lama dibanding perselingkuhan yang dimulai oleh laki-laki.


Wanita berselingkuh dengan lebih "serius"
Pria mungkin bisa dengan mudah dan tanpa pikir panjang memutuskan untuk selingkuh. Tak demikian halnya dengan wanita. Wanita selalu memikirkan baik-baik apa risikonya jika ia berselingkuh. Jika hubungan terlarang itu dia anggap hanya buang-buang waktu, atau risikonya tak sepadan dengan kesenangannya, ia tak akan melanjutkan. Pria dapat berselingkuh berkali-kali dengan banyak wanita karena baginya itu tak berarti apa-apa, tapi bagi wanita, jika ia memutuskan untuk selingkuh artinya pria idaman lain itu istimewa.


Wanita lebih jago menyembunyikan perselingkuhan
Wanita seringkali mengetahui saat pasangannya berselingkuh, tapi tidak sebaliknya. Selain pria tak memiliki insting mendeteksi kebohongan seperti wanita, kaum wanita juga lebih piawai menyembunyikan hubungan terlarangnya. Wanita sudah terlatih untuk berbohong sejak kecil demi menjaga perasaan orang lain. Hal yang sama tak terjadi pada pria, sehingga pria biasanya merasa lebih gugup saat berbohong.

Manfaat menjomblo

Kehidupan para lajang selalu diremehkan. Padahal ketika lajang, kita bisa menari gila-gilaan, menggoda teman kampus yang imut dan kalau diajak pergi keluar negeri — selama uang tidak masalah — kenapa tidak?

Ternyata kehidupan melajang bukan hanya lebih menyenangkan, tapi juga meningkatkan kesehatan. Jadi jangan sedih kalau kamu masih melajang. Senyumlah, karena ini manfaat melajang!

Keuangan lebih kuat
Menikah memang dapat mengurangi biaya sehari-hari, tetapi acara perkawinan itu sendiri memakan banyak biaya. Biaya pernikahan di Inggris rata-rata sebesar 18.500 pounds (Rp 262 juta). Tidak hanya biaya pernikahan yang tinggi, biaya perceraian juga tinggi. Di Inggris besarnya 13.000 pounds (Rp 184 juta).

Apakah ada pengaruhnya terhadap kesehatan? Tentu saja. Orang makmur hidup lebih sehat sepanjang hidupnya, dan mereka hidup lebih lama daripada mereka yang berasal dari kelas ekonomi rendah.

Tubuh lebih sehat
Tampaknya jika kita menikah, kita tidak hanya mendapatkan pasangan tapi juga berat badan ekstra. Sebuah jajak pendapat menunjukkan, hanya 27 persen orang dewasa yang mampu melakukan aktivitas fisik sebanyak 150 menit setiap pekan seperti yang dianjurkan. Dari 27 persen itu, sebagian besar telah menikah. Menurut peneliti AS, 46 persen dari 5.000 orang yang berpartisipasi dalam penelitian tersebut naik 9 kg setelah menikah.

Namun berat badan pria tidak terlalu terpengaruh. Berbeda dengan wanita, berat badan pria justru meningkat ketika bercerai.

Lebih banyak teman
Meninggalkan temanmu untuk sebuah makan malam romantis adalah tanda yang paling jelas dari hubungan yang serius. Walaupun begitu, pertemanan adalah hal yang paling berharga. Sebuah penelitian di Australia yang dilakukan selama 10 tahun menemukan, orang tua yang punya banyak teman hidup lebih lama daripada mereka yang temannya sedikit. Para peneliti Harvard juga menemukan, ikatan sosial yang kuat mampu meningkatkan kesehatan otak seiring berjalannya usia.

Ada lagi penelitian yang membuktikan, mereka yang punya hubungan sosial yang tinggi 50 persen hidup lama. Jadi teman bukan hanya untuk sekedar berbagi rahasia dan berkaraoke bersama.

Jarang bertengkar
Berteriak memaki pasanganmu hingga serak sangat tidak menyenangkan. Banyak risiko kesehatan yang diakibatkan oleh berkelahi dengan orang yang dicintai. Penelitian terbaru menunjukkan, stres pernikahan bisa berdampak buruk bagi jantung. Stres pernikahan juga mempunyai dampak yang lebih buruk bagi wanita dibandingkan pria. Wanita yang memendam emosinya saat bertengkar empat kali mati lebih cepat daripada mereka yang blak-blakan.

Porsi makan lebih kecil
Dongeng selalu bercerita tentang perempuan yang bertemu dengan pria, jatuh cinta, menikah dan hidup bahagia selamanya. Apa yang tidak diceritakan dalam dongeng adalah ketika kita menikah, kita akan makan sebanyak porsi pria dan makanan-makanan berkalori lainnya.

Lebih cepat sembuh
Ternyata menjadi lajang dan jarang bertengkar berpengaruh bagus terhadap kekebalan tubuh. Penelitian yang dilakukan di AS menemukan, luka pada pasangan yang memiliki banyak tekanan pernikahan sembuh lebih lama daripada mereka yang sedikit bertengkar. >.<'

Personal Quotes

(December 2001, about Hrithik Roshan): I wish I looked as good as he does. And I wish I danced as well as he does!
Yes, I do have a close circle of friends and I am very fortunate to have them as friends. I feel very close to them I think friends are everything in life after your family. You come across lots of people all the time but you only make very few friends and you have to be true to them otherwise what's the point in life?
I'd rather sink trying to be different, than stay afloat like everyone else
I cannot repay my fans for what they have done for me, they have given me so much love and that love has taken me to the number 1 position where I am today, the only thing I can do for my fans is to never stop working, and to do films till the very end, it is the only way I can express my love for them.
To me, Devdas is the end of love stories. I've portrayed an obsessed lover, a nice lover, an angry lover, a romantic lover. And now I've played Devdas. For someone who doesn't even like love stories, I've played an awful lot of lovers. Personally speaking, I wouldn't see any of the romantic films I've acted in.
I'm the luckiest man in the world and I don't want to hide from the faces I'm acting for. So I don't surround myself with guards, I've never given an interview in which I've said I feel bad that I can't go shopping or I can't go to Chowpatty and eat bhelpuri without being mobbed. I'm not the kind of guy who goes out wearing dark glasses (I don't think I'm a big enough star to hide behind them, honest). I go to see movies in the cinema theatres, I go to restaurants with my family and friends even though I know people are going to disturb me there.
God has become a generic term like `mind blowing.' It is embarrassing. I would have said that to Amitabh Bachchan, Naseeruddin Shah, Nana Patekar. I used to tell them I want to stand in the same space as you. I've told Kamal Haasan, I just want to touch you. They are the gods of acting. When people call me God, I say, no, I'm still an angel or saint of acting. I still have a long way to go.
(August 2004): Awards that ignore me are losers.
(August 2004): I'm try-sexual. I try anything that's sexual.
(August 2004): I have no competition. Every year the names I'm pitted against keep changing. You can't cream the competition, you have to kill it.
I keep hearing that our films are escapist and unreal but I find our films the most real in the world. We don't have people going up in a rocket and single-handedly blowing up a meteor. We don't have a president on Air Force One saving the world or things coming out of people's stomachs. Our fantasies and escapism are real. It's just people singing and dancing in the street. If England had won the World Cup you would have seen people singing and dancing like that.
I don't like wearing dark glasses. I'm happy with the fact that people know me. I want people to scream and shout at me, I want people to trouble me when I'm having lunch, I like six bodyguards around me. I love being a star. I find it very strange when people who are famous say they don't want to be photographed. I don't want to be photographed first thing in the morning, I don't want people peeping into my bedroom, but besides that, it's a wonderful life.
"I haven't given up smoking. I'm very clear about it, it's a personal choice. I want to cut down on it. It shouldn't be made into an issue to say, damn good or damn bad. Whether I give it up or not shouldn't be an issue." (Movie Mag, May 2006)
"I was supposed to have done Rang De Basanti (2006), the guy on the motorbike. I didn't have the dates. They were shooting in Delhi and the dates were clashing with Paheli." (Movie Mag, May 2006)
"It's not like Steven Spielberg is waiting with a script for me. I don't think I'll ever be offered a great international film in my lifetime, so I'd rather be a king here. Moreover, Indian cinema is the greatest in the world. But of course, after spending three months in LA, London, and New York I found that our cinema is a little exaggerated. To make a mark in the West we have to reach their level without losing our identity, culture or songs. I don't want to star in a Hollywood film, but want to make a film that crosses over universally." (Movie Mag, May 2006)
On trying to get Paheli (2005) an Oscar nomination: "There's a misreport here about our lobbying at the Oscars. The understanding that we have of the Oscars is very different from how it really is. Because Indian film, foreign films are not known, you're supposed to hire a PR company which we did. It's not as if you just go there, show your films, lobby and talk to them. You're not allowed to lobby as in you're not allowed to meet the Academy members, talk to them or even make a call to them. You just keep advertising in the 'For Consideration For Oscars' category. We took out full page ads in papers like Variety and Hollywood Reporter. The only good thing we did was that we advertised very frequently, it was promoted on the same scale as the biggest of films. We did it because we could afford it." (Movie Mag, May 2006)
"I felt Ashoka the Great (2001) should have been chosen for the Oscars. We had worked towards that. We had these international distributors for it. We were the first to actually release an Indian film internationally in traditionally non-Indian theaters. We spent a lot of money and lost a lot of money too. We were the first to put up boardings in London, in tube stations. We did speak to everyone who was anyone here, wondering if Asoka could go to the Oscars. But the one that got chosen was Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India (2001) which was even better. So we had no complaints. After that I didn't make any film for the foreign market." (Movie Mag, May 2006)
You must respect your seniors, bu never get intimidated by them. Winning should be a habit, not an option. The four Hs are important when you play to win --- honesty, humor, hard work and a bit of haraamipan.
I don't look at the figures that my movies make. The only figures I look at are girl's figures. (When asked to comment on what he felt about the figures his movies gross.)
Whenever I fail as a father or husband... a toy and a diamond always works.
If I talk to a girl, it's assumed that I'm having a scene with her. If I don't, then it's assumed that I'm gay.
I don't kiss on screen. Period.
There are only two Khans. Ghenghis Khan and Shahrukh Khan
Sex is not required to sell my film. My name is enough.
You never win the silver, you only lose the gold.
I am very shy. If I am flying British Airways and the air hostess asks me two questions, and I don't understand her accent - I will go hungry for the entire flight.
The dream I chased, took me on a journey. A journey more rewarding then the goals, the achievements. When I look back it's like facing a million mirrors. Each reflection opens a window. A window to the world I've just discovered. The world I want to share with all of you.
If I am a role model, I must be the worst one in the world.
I've never had a girl make a pass at me.
Togetherness, passion, laughter, faith, trust and jealousy are the essential ingredients of love.
The collar-bone is my favorite part of the human body.
If asking me whether sleeping with X or Y gives the media pleasure, then so be it. It's a small price to pay.
