Random Ramblings

I logged into my blogger after a long time, and the credit goes to my dear friend Inder. He flattered me by saying that I write beautifully and though I know that's not entirely true , I tend to believe in the best of me. So here I am writing some nonsense which wont matter to anyone.
Initially I thought I will change the look of my blog and was confused between the 10 or 12 mediocre templates the blogger offered. I settled for the present one.......ya, I know its not great.......like I said mediocre ........well what does the template matter when I write so good!!!!

Did you guys see the movie "50 First Dates"?  A very special friend of mine recommended the movie to me and I fell in love with that movie. For those of you who do not know of the movie here is a synopsis.

Marine biologist Henry Roth (Adam Sandler) finds the perfect woman, Lucy Whitmore ( Drew Barrymore) and falls head over heels for her. But when he sees her the following day, she hasn't a clue as to who is he due to a rare brain disorder that wipes her memory clean every night. Now, with the help of his friend Ula,Henry has to concoct new and increasingly clever ways to meet her and get her to fall for him every day.

Initially I felt sad for Lucy when her brain disorder thing is revealed. But when I saw Henry trying to make her fall in love with him, I wanted to be her.....isn't that every girls dream...... your relationship will never grow old........it will always have the same spark and excitement everyday.

Getting down to reality, Is it really possible to love someone so much for that long a time with that much intensity? I have mixed feelings about this, I mean maybe it is possible but does it work out naturally or one has to put in a lot of patience, compromises and watever it is that is needed, to make it happen. Where does one draw a line, that if it is taking more than this, then its not worth it. When does one gets to the point where enough is enough? If you are truly, completely  in love  with someone then you NEVER get to the point where enough is enough. I have heard a lot of people saying I love her/him a lot but it did not work out, we are different people, we had this issue, we had that issue.............. I want to ask them ....whom are you trying to bluff guys?

 

Well practically speaking its hard to find a person with whom you will never feel like enough is enough. But when you find that person life becomes worth living. I have yet to find that guy and though I am not sure I ever will, I will just be optimistic n hope for the best. This is the point where I think of my parents. For my mom, my dad is the person for whom she will never feel  enough is enough, I can vouch for that.....same is the case with my dad. They didn't even talk to each other before marriage and yet they are happy. At this point I start wondering that probably it all depends on how much we are willing to work towards a relationship, how much does it means to us, how much does it affect us if the relationship doesn't work and the most important being If we have other options........Once one realizes you have other options , and the grass always seems greener on the other side, one tends to want to jump to the other side.

 

And this is the point where I feel proud of my Indian Culture, where patience and tolerance is advocated without which no relationship can survive. I guess that is reason for such low divorce rate in India. Sadly the trend is slowly changing, lot of Indians are opting for divorce.

Well I guess the world can only get worse and never better!!! With that I take leave for today.

Please let me know what you guys think!!!
