Happy Valentine’s Day!! To you, who has fallen and is still in love; to you, who had fallen in and then fallen out; and to you, who is still to know what the fall feels like. All of you go out and breathe all that love in the air. It’s not every day that all of humankind decides to show out their love for someone. It would be such a great thing if that happened every day, wouldn’t it? And when you are out and about, falling and picking yourself up for the rest of your life, I would like you to keep in mind just one thing regarding the “fall”. Sooner or later you hit the ground. Oh no, don’t get me wrong. I am not being a cynic trying to rubbish all the feelings of love as some chemical reaction in our bodies. I am not saying that love eventually dries up. All I am saying is that you hit the ground… The ground of reality; the reality that you have chosen someone, who is not you, to share the intricacies of your life with.

I stress on the words: “someone, who is not you”. I stress on it, coz that’s what we always tend to forget. We overlook the fact that our loved one is a different individual, with his/her own set of beliefs, his/her own way of looking at things and his/her own way of showing his/her love. Mind it, I am not blaming anyone for doing so. If God Himself had to create us in His own image, it is only sensible that we get attracted to the notion of “we are so similar” and repelled by the concept of “oh we are so different”. As good it feels to see lads going down to their knees for their lasses, it breaks my heart to see them breaking up over nothing. They say they have “differences”. Well absolutely you must be having differences. And I am sure as hell that you must be having arguments on those differences too. But don’t run away; don’t dream that someday you will have that someone with whom no arguments shall ensue. Wake Up!! Don’t be foolish enough to lose the one ,who is here right now, in search of someone, who might be. You will never find a person who is exactly like you. Someone, who thinks, talks, walks and lives exactly like you. And even if there was someone like that, I don’t think you would like the person very much So, work on your differences. Work on your relationship. Nurture it. Don’t blame the other one. Keep in mind that emotions and hearts on both sides are at stake. After all, it’s a Relationship and not an Isolation. And if you can manage to stay with that one person, who is not you, for the rest of your life… A very Happy Valentine’s Lifetime to you my friend.
