It's been a while since I wrote something here. I won't say I have been busy. But I will say that I have been lethargic and drowning myself in self-pity. And at times like these, there are only a handful of people who can lift my spirits and put me right back on the race track!
I received a comment on my previous post saying 'Love is blind'. So yeah let's talk about love today.
When we are falling in love with someone, it's an exciting feeling. It's a tickling, tingling sensation that keeps you on a high forever. Now if things work out and the person you love reciprocates your feelings, then you are on cloud number nine...only for a bit...for a month, 2 months, 6 months...maybe a year! The period varies from couple to couple. And then you sort of get into a routine. Talking about the same stuff at the same time, day in and day out. Its a wonder that we still find it exciting. I still look forward to that time of the day when S and I talk about our day and our todo lists and other household stuff. And just when you are getting used to this humdrum, your love does something super nice and makes you fall in love with him/her all over again! You get reminded of your 'dating' days and reasons why you initially fell in love with this person. Its again a wonder that from then to now, this person has seen you in the worst of your moods, on your bad hair days and on days when you look your worst. Yet this person continues to love you, cherish you and always tells you that you are the best.
It's true. Love is blind. And I am so glad it's that way! :)
P.S Somehow I am reminded of the song 'Yeh tumhari meri baatein' from Rock on! :)

Sweet! :)
erf.. 'Yeh tumhari meri baatein' was the most boring song of Rock on.
I don't know what to comment the post. I need to think. ;)
PS: This is not only my view but also that shared by the millions of males there wanting their voices to be heard (exaggeration?). It also bears no resemblance to any person, living or dead!:D
David Letterman in his show, jokes on what could be the most complex machine in the whole world and not to my surprise but that of the audience comes up with a one liner- a woman! When you’re falling in love with someone – it is always said ‘no holds bar’, don’t expect. Don’t expect that she reciprocates, don’t expect that she says ‘yes’ to all that you do,’ don’t expect that ‘she’ would make the first move, don’t expect that ‘she’ would be there forever. But any natural born human would expect and wish that though love is blind, there are memories which can last forever. The title ‘Love is Blind’ is fit for a film which has female actors running around trees, romancing under the stars and walking in expensive stylish restaurants with the chauffeurs waving their hats & opening the doors (which would have opened anyways!). ‘Love is Blind’ is a concept one associates when a not-so-good-looking boy starts falling in love with a stylish petite girl. This holds true when a not-so-well-to-do girl marries a handsome millionaire. The underlined point here is that any relationship which has lasted long & has had memories to cherish is only because every now and then there is ‘something super nice and makes you fall in love with him/her all over again’. To make any relationship work successfully it requires perseverance, the gut and will to adapt to the changing sensations (a bit..a day..a month..era), the stability in mind that though the relationship won’t be spicy as the start- it is still a commitment which can be made worth a living. Love is blind because when someone likes someone, in spite of knowing the many negatives in the girl/boy, he/she ignores that because like you said ‘you are in a high’. For some, love is not blind because they don’t ignore all that I said previously. True love is never ever blind, the person knows the other person completely, in spite knowing his/her weaknesses he/she loves him/her and it stays forever no matter what happens. It is a matured, thought over decision by the couple which gives them an edge of the changing climate around them. The reason I mentioned ‘males’ before because the ‘show’ I mentioned in the first line brought out so beautifully on how women (in today’s world) more often than not are unwilling to relax our standards of who we will be in a relationship with. Frankly it is quite sad when most of them follow suit because most of them miss out on opportunities to be with someone who could be their perfect match in almost every way except they aren't the right race, weight, aren't pretty or handsome enough etc. Quite complicated but true! Critics would argue any either way- but the point is ‘Love is not Blind’ if things have continued over the years and are on way to a long everlasting relationship!
This so true...nice post manas, I totally agree :)!
This post reminds me of the song "Kuch to hua hai...kuch ho gaya" :) The feeling of falling in love - nothin can beat that :)
@Prarthana
Thanks! :)
@Nishikant
Its a beautiful song!I love it :) And love is not deaf! :P
@Vinay
I would just like to add that it's not that love is blind. Love sees everything but chooses to ignore the superficial layer and sees only what's beneath that. But on a high level, we can summarize it to say that Love is blind :)
@Hema
I know you do! Haven't we discussed this like a zillion times! :)
@Dolly
'Kuch toh hua hai' reminds me of new love whereas 'yeh tumhari meri baatein' reminds me of continued love! :)
