The Melting Pot

about love and everything….

Shakespeare, the father of modern literature and the greatest writer when it comes to writing about life, love , romance and the intricacies and the tragedies involved with them. Well here is just an attempt to continue from where Shakespeare left, but in a different way.

Being in love from the very start is a very agonizing experience. from the first step your road is filled with all kinds of roadblocks. Firstly if the one you love doesn’t know about your feeling, your mind is always occupied with finding ways to convey your heart felt desires to the person concerned. If this first hurdle is overcome, the constant fear of refusal is right on your mind. And yes your love story may come to an end here only. But if by any luck you do succeed in getting a positive response, you still are not too far away from the fear of a heartbreak which may be anywhere around the corner.

Even after settling into an relationship with a person you might not be as happy as you thought you should be. There always is something to bug your mind and eat away most of your time. The planning of dates, the gifts and presents etc are always occupying your mind. You may also have to live in the constant fear of your parents discovering your clandestine doings. This is actually what happens most of the time in our country where the parents still have some apprehension about their children finding their own partners. This period of new love is also the period where one is gripped by wicked emotions like jealousy and insecurity. Just seeing your boy/girl with someone else may turn you into the green monster of jealousy. Of course these feelings are baseless, but sometimes they are true, more often than not.

Somewhere down the road you may get bored or start feeling that you made the wrong choice in one of the most important matters of life. Small matters may turn into ugly fights and you may feel that you are traveling on different waves altogether. You might also start hating the person you once thought was your prince charming or sleeping beauty. And after this ending to not a very romantic love story and the heartburn, if it is there, you start looking for the next ‘right one’. That is to say, you are committing the same mistake again.

Finally if you do get the right one and your love saga ends in something called marriage, which is a disaster in itself, I would have to write another article on the aftermath.

So I would rather say, not to fall in love. Enjoy life as it comes. You don’t need a boyfriend or girlfriend to be happy. They might make you unhappy for sure. You have friends with whom you can share everything and your family, which stands by you always. Just let your parents select the right partner for you. With luck you might land up with someone way out of your league. But still if you are hell bent on trying this, be careful. I just wish you luck and a very happy future.
