No 9'o clock calls.. No weekend shopping... No expectations on valentine's day... No romantic dinners... No surprises... No anticipations on Birthday / Valentine gifts... No presumable ego.. No anticipation or anxiety on being passive.. Basically no pressure... "Kya love story yaar.. Band Bajgaya" endru ninaika vendam. Infact this is one of the most wonderful relationships i've ever encountered. If you have a partner qualifying all these parameters with contradicting equations then it means that u've actually found yourself a perfect match from Monster.com ;)
Every relationship has a scale of peak expectations which need to be fulfilled to avoid disaster recovery. The way this works is, when the relationship is fresh, bright and refreshing the levels of expectation is barely low because none of us want to take the other for granted or put too much pressure on the other. So there is a large buffer space that is shared... Leaving apart the philosophical end.. Lets get back to the story. A disco, A dare, A Pile On, A Post Pile On, A Touch, A Kiss, A Fresco, A New Year's Eve, A Party.. And all these between 2 very light hearted minds which find a great sense of common things alongside with barely any emotional atyachaar or any apprehension. Can you believe it, the coin has always been biased and the dice is always loaded. We always tend to build up or pile on unnecessary premonitions and make promises to ourselves in the name of love. One day, when these never-made promises dont materialize we start feeling insecure.
The moment the human mind gets insecure, it's pattern of behavior explodes so drastically that we make blunders which would seem stupid from one's own judgement 10 minutes later. So, coming back to the story... The 4th week... An Ambition, A Job, A Trip.... Whilst all this, they meet... Just to find out how nervous is the other one to declare what they had in their minds. Lets just pause here and go back to Laila Majnu, Heer Ranja, Romeo Juliet... All these love stories are built of emotions, strong bonds, passion, abiding trust... Well, all this is fit for tales and good for nothing today. Not for the Aam Janta - The Mango PPL.
BREAK UP !! Long distance Relationships dont work.. Relation wears out.. The bond fades out.. Calls unattended.. Mails not responded.. More pressure and more anguish.! We need to do it - YES BINGO !! Both of them in unison.. Here it goes - wht was it, fidgety 2 minutes. The cat was out of the bag and so was all the uneasiness and rigidity.. See, thats what good relationships are made of - being frank, forthright and blunt with no degree of artificiality in expressions or thoughts..
If it had been a harsh, hurtful, awkward breakup with polished statements and refined thought sharing, then the story wud have been "Mooooving on with life"..But surprisingly and excitingly both of them having shared wat was exactly what they wanted they get even more comfortable with each other.. But, eventually time and space separates them - not their minds.! Since cooexistence is imperative they tend to blend in with their present days and date different ppl. 1 gets all what he wanted in life - the perfect job, the beautiful life and plenty of money and the other - did wat all she was passionate about, exploring things and reinventing herself.
Shouldnt the story end here. They both have moved on and they have made complete individuals out of themselves... The beauty lies there, like all graphs they also have a down followed by an up.. Their lives slowly start to deteriorate. Life loses its color, the flavor and the essence. It becomes monotonous. They have everything but cumulatively nothing. All material things start to sulk and at one point of time they get lost and drowned.
Now, the question is why???????????????????? Show me what you've got guys.. Things are pretty evident. Not a single flaw so far, but why do they still feel incomplete and where has the drive in them gone?
The story ends with cheers and blushes.. A Happy Ending. But I shall reveal that once we fill the dotted line blank for the question above.

I know this isnt this kind of story u guys wud be excited about.. But running thru relationships and arguing on both sides of it is something that i dont have to think so much to write.
ReplyDeleteSo pls bear with me if this isnt ur cup of tea.. Run thru it and remember every one of u wud have this stage in life.. Not necessarily the BF GF part.. but dealing relationships.
So kindly cooperate, read carefully and bring out wat u ve got
To be very very frank, half u guys are bound to commitments already.. So taking nothing away lets play a fair deal.
ReplyDeleteRemember, this neednt be necessarily incident specific or person pinpointing. U can also play it smooth like how I did :)

ReplyDeleteAnd also SEND ME ACROSS THE LIST OF NOVELS THAT U THINK IS A MUST READ and I shall add them to the BOOK YOURSELF gadget in the blog
@Senthil: nice post to read after a long break from the blog, coz of office work :(...
ReplyDeleteLife may give so many pleasures thru money and related things... but all these are really short lived as they rightly say, a human finally goes only with 6 feet on this earth... What matters finally is not how much physical possessions we earned thru this complicated process of life on earth, but the amount of love we earned...
Endha oru manushanum sagum bodu panatha pakkanum nu nenaikka mataan... kadaisi vaai thanni thaan venum nu nenaipaanga, so there it comes finally to a bunch of lovely people who really truly love you...
What is real love will be the next question? The level of expectation that you were talking about: When true love bond forms[not necessary in a couple relationship] all the expectation that you will have in your mind is to keep your loved one happy. I agree this is not possible by all, yes we as human do expect something, nothing wrong in that, even after the thought comes to mind, we can push it out back giving the due respect to the other person love and beleiving truly in it and giving up any expectation that we have...
Distance can never put an end to a relationship if it is true, if it is true love that is in between and not just a material bonding.
I will keep talking ;) to prevent ppl from getting bored, stopping here :)
He he,.. From your point of view, yes wat u say makes sense. Atleast u do ve supporting evidence. So I am gup chup. :)
ReplyDeleteEventually everyone has to run through this phase where expectations build and we find it a toll to meet those.
But the irony is that, the same anticipation a couple of episodes back in the relationship would have been a pleasure. Ellam oru mental evaluation of the shelf life of the relationship
Yup it is... we learn to turn expectations into actions for our loved ones, then blossoms true love, which shall never die :)
ReplyDeleteHow can u say something as true love.. if it needs t expectations to get fulfilled?
ReplyDeleteIf you truly love somethin/someone.. then u shud not expect anything from that/them.. rite?
Hmmm.. I go with Hari partly. When you say that you truly love someone you should be able to accomodate with any unmet expectations or unsaid words..
ReplyDeleteIllaina athu romba formal aana oru relationship
I also meant that only :) true love shall never have any expectations, not even the expectation that the other person should love them back.
ReplyDeleteI disagree... I asked that question.. jus to know how u ppl take tat.. ther is nothin in this world called True love... everything has some benefit.. noone loves the other anyone... there are some hidden expectation..which even the luving ppl fail to recognize that..
ReplyDeleteFew things to be known for lovers..
ReplyDeleteLove is a just process in our body.. to choose a better mate to produce a better offspring...
From the survey and experiments conducted y scientists... it is proven that a guy/gal will have attraction (luv) over the person who has more different immune system (resistance to disease) than that guy/gal..
similary the healthy nature of the inner body is reflected in the face..which cause attraction.. that is the reason why most of the ppl in t current world are devoid of miscreation..
I jus want to share these information as tey r related to the post.. Usually most ppl of our age are more confused wit this term.. thy waste their life for this process thinking it as eternal, pure & godly etc..
Also one more interesting info.. if u marry someone whom u dont like.. our brain does some chemical process and ll make that person partner attractive to u.. so better be clear in bfore choosing ur partner..
In a population of more than 5 billion our body ll surely choose more than one.. so dont worry if a girl/boy doesn't reciprocate ur luv.. leave it.. u ll find one more..
i wish this info ll b a eye opener for ppl to understand clearly that luv is just a game played naturally by our human body to choose its best partner..
