When Cupid Strikes…

I consider myself as a fairly practical person, so yeah I don’t believe in any of the “love conquers all”, “Marriages are made in heaven” or any other clichéd sh**t aptly advertised by Yash Chopra and clan. But recently, I have been meeting people who are testing my patience and that leads to interesting debates.

I don’t know what gives rise to such discussions, maybe it’s the fact that my friend circle has touched the silver line of 25 and suddenly everyone is smart, mature, engaged or in a relationship. So yeah every meeting in Café Coffee Day is heated with the conversations that we have, in contrast to the chilled tropical iceberg’s everyone is sipping. So then I decided to do some of my own soul searching through blogging (because it’s in fashion, ofcourse!) Another reason is that I am the only cynical in my group, so instead of arguing with all, its better here, no one can cut me out mid sentence with… “aga pan.. kasa asta…” and there goes my strongest argument point, lost in the blabber. So guys Shut up and Listen!
I have been thinking, so now, I take the stance of Carrie Bradshaw and type it out while sipping coffee. ..
How changed are we? Like if I look around, all the people irrespective of gender are looking out for that perfect person. (Sorry friends for giving you out! But you know you’re :-)) But…

But But… its the new millennium, so even the most romantic person has a long list of If’s and but’s to fall in love. For example: “ No re… I want someone who is from so and so place”, “ I want someone who is same caste, color.. gotra..Watever” “I want someone from my own field” “ I want some one who is at least 6 ft tall (oops..thats me ;-)). The point is everyone wants to fall in love, okay! No arranged marriage because that’s what is for losers, that’s the general notion, but then isn’t all the criteria an arrangement too? So guys, either digest the fact that you are looking out for some arrangement and hence don the traditional, practical hat or else just let go of your prejudices and let destiny takes its course.

One of my more sorted out friend recently commented “nahi re Click hona chahiye”.

So another question…what’s this click? Something inexplicable? Don’t think so.
It can just be put that if you have the right kind of equation with someone and when all the above criteria doesn’t matter anymore, that’s when you know that it has clicked ;-) You know in a very hypothetical way if you imagine your life ahead irrespective of the fact that, the person is not Brad Pitt that you secretly wanted to marry or not from your field or caste or city, but still its okay, it does not matter, that’s when you know it has clicked. Right?
The point is, why the hell are we so confused? Like if I look at the people about 4 yrs older, they guess knew what they wanted. Or for that matter, the older generation had no other way other than the traditional. And we, we want everything but on our own terms. So the all romantic, fairytale has to have a tailor-made prince/princess. Like we imagined, nothing else will do.
Why does conditions creep into a thing which is supposed to be you know brain-free? I mean I am kind of dead sure that once you really think about it, nothings going to matter and then comes the confusion, How d hell did it happen????!! So the next step is of the cynical, strong, independent us wondering what really happened. Why complicate everything?
So in conclusion and without further confusions, guys, just have fun and let things happen as they do. In short, take the hand away from the steering wheel of your life and let the accident happen, that would be the ‘click’! Who exactly is the cynical here now???
