This life of singledom sure is playing tricks on my mind. While I flit from person to person, trying to place my hooks in the right one, I get played everytime. So what does this old girl want???
Just a little bit of understanding, sympathy, care and affection. Seriously these are things highly overpriced and men find it so difficult to dole out. Forget men, everyone in this generation has a problem with freely giving out. It is as if the whole world is out to see where the free goods come from and nobody is willing to pay a price.
Simpler was the generation when all folks had to do was choose their mate, work for one's basic sustenance and make babies. No complicated thoughts of whether "this" is the one or not. If it is'nt then old school proposes,"dude deal with it,you don't have another choice." What do we have now? Just look at the mind staggering number of breakups one has to witness all around and even in one's own life....
Its a fact that my life has been no different from the other confused people of my generation. It is indeed funny that Ive been into so many relationships. Its a surprise I still have'nt quit. Time and again, my dad asks me what am I looking for?I reply "Love." He laughs hard, tousles my head and asks me to get real. In spite of all my misadventures, why do I get the feeling that things will turn around and that I'll find true everlasting love like the kinds one dreams about??? That my knight in shining armour would come riding on his pure white horse and take me away....
Is that why people keep trying?Perfection is what I just dreamt about and I suppose that is what everyone seeks in life. A perfect relationship, a perfect love. But what is perfection? It is something like happiness. Not unlike the title of the movie "A Pursuit to Happiness", perfection can be strived for but achieving it completely can only be an ongoing pursuit. Reaching a definite perfection would after all leave us all too jobless and dead to do anything more. Challenges are what makes and defines us. Challenges in a relationship and the way in which one encounters it, is what makes life so exciting.
So my advice to all people in love, afraid of love and looking for love, keep trying untill you succeed. I believe happiness is just around the corner. Keep a wary eye on the horizon because you'd never know when lightning could strike and change your life for better or worse. I am crossing fingers fro myself as well.

shyama@ love is jus a notion..a concept to keep d human race stick wit dis dream called life..something to make us not want to awake from dis slumber... think abt d scores of famous lovers..dey fought they lived or died together..but den i find more romance in a lady breast feeding her child.. romance, yes..love, no..rather, its a necessity..of the child as well d mom..the necessity to get dis baby grown..
