Swalpa Adjust maadi

Love stories are becoming more and more complicated. Gone are the days of Yash Chopra romance. That's why his last movie was a disaster. Because people don't have such love stories now. I still remember watching DDLJ for the first time. Dancing in the rain, or holding an umbrella with my girl were moments of absolute bliss, worth to be fantasised. Now love is in the malls, in a cinemax or a Baskin Robbins. Gone are the days of paani puri and coconut water. Life and love runs on a card, not the visiting one but the credit one. That's the need of the hour. I realised that although late. But its never too late. What has not changed though are loyality, trust and transparency. They still remain to have utmost importance. I still believe that lies are the root cause of failure in relationships. Never compromise your relationship for a cup of coffee at CCD. This is just the beginning of the ending if you do. Grow up guys, there's neither a perfect person nor a perfect relationship. Swalpa adjust maadi!!

I had broke up quite recently, in other words my gf had dumped me. I was busy searching for a new one on Facebook. Sending random requests to xyz girls became regular activity, and finally Mr Zuckerberg had to say "Do you know this person?" Leading to blocking any new friend addings for a week. All this while, amongst all the hundreds of profiles I went through, there was one which was different. I went through her pictures, she was pretty. I felt as if I was connected to her, but strangely didn't have the courage to send her the request. What if she declined? She became a bookmark on my Firefox. I was real low those days due to my breakup, but her profile kept me happy. Days turned into months, and finally thought to take the next step and sent her message with much deliberation. Bingo! She replied. We started chatting casually. I was getting happier. My room mate noticed the change in me and while I went cooking, keeping the chat active, he sent my number to her. Returning from the kitchen, I realised and started shouting at him. "I think its time to take to the next level buddy" was his reply. I apologized and let her know. We chatted for 2 long years but never asked for her number again. Then one fine day I got a text msg " Got your number from fb your fb buddy". I immediately called, it was her! Gradually we started calling each other, non stop text msging. It went on and on and on. It was new years eve, every friend of mine had a resolution, not to smoke for one, reduce drinking for another. I thought, let me take the step.it's do or die, our friendship was at stake. I texted her letting her know my feelings and immediately threw my phone on the bed and went out. When I returned,I saw her return msg "Are you drunk?" We never discussed about it again. We chatted and called, shared our daily lives and time flew. And then one fine day after a very long time she texted "I think I am in love with you". Patience and perseverance worked!!
