An interesting call came my way yesterday
. A friend said she is flying to the US to marry someone whom she has
never met ( its ALL online ) and has no interests in coming to India. Yes ,
parents knew a zilch on this and the girl , in spite of my heavy head
banging was in no mood to listen to me . Sometimes even I fail .
The second interesting call came from my dear
friend who is scheduled to get married to her fiancé of three years ,
next week . And this one was a shocker!! He is cancelling the marriage and
marring someone whom he met just about 6 months back . Before you get your
thinking horses started , the ‘would be girl ‘refused to get married to him
since she could feel the pain of the actual girl . The boy shared the same with
his fiancé .
And there is more. The fiancé’s reply was- "Yes ,you should go ahead , because for me your happiness is supreme and even if you get married to me I know you will never be able to love me and stay with me . So it’s far better to be with someone WHOM you love than you not loving someone .
And there is more. The fiancé’s reply was- "Yes ,you should go ahead , because for me your happiness is supreme and even if you get married to me I know you will never be able to love me and stay with me . So it’s far better to be with someone WHOM you love than you not loving someone .

My take ( since I knew all
the three ) on the second stance and the fiancé ,for me
particularly commands nothing but respect and more respect . Believe me , I
feel like kicking my friends butt for this but the finance’s stance and revert
have left me shaken . How can you let go of someone you love ? Someone you know
? Someone you are about to get married to next week ? But , in between
all of this remember what she said – YOUR happiness is supreme.
This is called
enlightenment . This is true love. A person has seen the future. A person with
so pure a heart has actually visualized that she will not be happy and moreover
, ‘he’ will not be happy.
We can debate and curse the
‘would be girl ‘ and the guy but the fact of the matter is , the fiancé has
actually shared the truth . She has understood that she herself will not
be happy. People can say why were they getting married at the first place or
weren't the two in love ?
Love is water. You cannot
define it . There is a fine a layer which separates liking from loving .
People often confuse the two . You may like someone and yes its love, at a much
lesser level though but no , its not loving .
Love is what you "2" make it |
Loving means you love the
person in a way you don't love yourself also . Her presence makes you lighten
up , sparkling to be more specific and more importantly you know she feels the
same . When one is down and low , just be seeing her sitting right next to you
can actually make one feel blessed . Love also means that you know the other
person has limits and he may not have lived your life . This makes a chance to
make him live your life , learn with him and make him to do things you are a
master at . It's like saying a child , a new born , is fresh into the world and
here is this one person - mother , who pampers him with all the
love she has. And more.
And yes , things will not be the same as ever . But remember moments are something that only two people make special . It doesn't matter even it’s a simple coffee and a Parle –G. Spend time loving these people and making these moments special. This time don’t leave things to chance.
It’s like saying you don’t
live life . You live moments with those special someone’s doing sweet nothings.
