The Gamble called “LOVE”

Which is better…a long enduring story or a short-lived yet a beautifully enriching one. Sometimes it doesn’t really count how many miles we walk, but the journey is that matters. On just an uneventful day Sally meets up George on a social networking site. They meet up on the virtual platform. They exchange their thoughts, thoughts which seem so similar yet so individual. Two individuals who meet up, and share thoughts and feel they share a bond. So can it really happen, that they don’t meet in person, they don’t see each other yet feel the spark? Can two individuals fall in love in such a way? Does attraction and looks, acquaintance really matter in the gamble of love.  And how can two individuals carry on the burden of all the hassles that come with love when they are not even in their near proximity. What about those moments when you would love to reach the other person for some endearments, for a tight hug to make you feel comforted, the love filled talks? Is it really that important to be around the person you are in love with to carry forward the relation?

And to come back to Sally and George, they carry on with their new found happiness and fondness. They find the love they were yearning for in each other. Days past with their happiness blossoming. However, happiness was short lived. The similarities that brought them closer become the villain. Similarities those become too many to be tolerated. Ironically, they both understand their similar negatives so much so that it is just so easy to guess what the other person is thinking and why he/she is reacting in a particular way.  

Love fades a bit to pave the way for fights, arguments, and bitterness. Two people who were just so madly in love start searching negatives and shortcomings in each other. They blame the distance (something that really didn’t’ matter in the start), their different timings, their newly found shortcomings. And since the relation seemed to go nowhere, they decide to part ways. They decide to keep their relation short yet simple. Sally and George who could have made a beautiful couple decided to part ways so that they remember the journey though short as a beautiful enriching experience.

Is it better to cut the journey short or be daring enough to face all challenges come what may? What is the best thing to do, stick on with each others differences and negatives or break your self free? Love is not an easy road to tread yet it’s a beautiful one---short one or a long journey…..It is the experience of a lifetime only if it is with ‘the’ right one. But who knows who that one is? Meet all the wrong persons till you meet the right one? Commit the mistakes over and over again for umpteen number of times and put your trust in quest to allow it be broken again and again. However, intimidating it may sound, try to reach out to that one person you are sure you could spend the rest of your life with, and age gracefully with. Be truthful enough not to break promises or better enough don’t make any. Love is a tough gamble, however alluring it may seem, play only if you know you can bare any challenge to eventually win it.

BEING IN TWENTIES - SOMETHING

Life changes and so do we

It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or
two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.

You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.

You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would  be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.

Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure. 
You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet  anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you're doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person. One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!

What you may not realize is that every one reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out. Send this to your twenty-something friends... maybe it will help someone feel like they aren't alone  in their state of confusion...

We call it the "Quarter-life Crisis."

FATE DETERMINES WHO COMES INTO OUR LIVES.....HEART DETERMINES WHO STAYS

With age we ripen?

Today I just saw an awesome movie called turning 30. A film which deals with the problems a woman faces as she heads straight to the age feared by all of the clan “the frightening 30”.

So how is it moving on the runway of life at a jet speed and realizing that quarter of your life is over. Most of the stories would share a similar plot…I assume…Love story (stories) which would have gifted us the most beautiful moments of our life, friends who would have stood by all those thick and thin days alike, a serious relationship which would have made us dream the most beautiful life with that special person and then the break-up, emotional breakdown, bumps in career. To add to the agony the increasing scales of age, the impending days of loneliness.

Life won’t stop and so cant you. We will age but then what s the point of the worry. True to say that the bitter experiences shatter us…there is nothing more intimidating than a broken relationship…We would love to be with the person who broke our heart and ripped us apart yet be afraid to be with someone who loves us, so ironical yet so true. It’s not so easy to just move on with a broken heart. It’s difficult to fool your own heart and your own emotions.

I for one am in the phase where the answers to most of my questions are safely “I dunno”. What do you wanna do with your life, your career???..Ummmm, I dunno. Do you think you can fall in love again? “I dunno” , Well then how about getting married “Umm may be” and the next moment the answer would be are you nuts. I am happy this way; spare me the horror of marriage. I am almost done with the quarter of my life and in a phase when there is nothing that would make me happy for long..momentary happiness like a day out with my girlfriends, a good song on radio, a good write up, yet the fear of the unknowns grooves over still. Life is giving me experiences, good as well the not so good ones but then I am gaining experiences, learning to stand and face the storms. I know for sure I will win eventually…and I will too ripen with age…<Wink> <Wink>

Dream, laugh, live make life king-size.

Most of the times I find myself complaining of the monotony in my life. Every new thing that happen adds zing to the mundane life yet fails to persist for long. Happiness never seems perpetual and fades away soon before you realize or wake up. The waking moment might be awaiting with a new challenge, which might be freaky.Life is never simple. It has its rough ends, smooth curves. Its always Kabhi Kushi kabhi Gum. The road is long, with many a stops. You meet people on the highway. Some walk a short distance with you and make the journey less morbid or add the fun in the ride.  While some may add to the already existing woes yet give you a one hand experience of facing the next hurdle with ease.

        Life is short. No ones gonna live for everywhere. So why wait. The best way to live it is to keep alive the child in you. Do things which are childish, play pranks, be frivolous, have a good jaw - dropping, rib tickling mirth, or a boisterous laugh. Don't be shy to let that child out sometimes. There is no bigger crime than to waste the precious moment and to die before your death. 

Fall in love. There is no rule in love. But before falling in love with anyone else love the most beautiful person you know and there no guess in that--its YOU, Yourself. Love the way you are. Who cares what the world thinks. Meet people, make friends. Be wary enough to be on your guard but not to the extend that you close the doors to others. Call up an old friend. Discuss some embarrassing moments you had together, those nasty fights,

Do something that would bring a smile to your face.Smile to a child. its fun to baby talk with a kid and involve in their gibberish. Its fun to have cute discussion with a small child. Never let the innocence in you die for any reasons. Just live it..Kya pata kal ho na ho......Dream, laugh, live make life king-size.
