Oh that prince charming, riding on a white horse, coming all
the way to take his princess away…have you been splurging upon this wild
thought too??? No, it doesn’t mean that I do or did (wink wink ;)),
but this is something I know many girls must have at some point in their lives
be dreaming of (blush :)) well, are there any love stories??? Or to go
precise are there any real love stories??? Or are there any such princes riding
all the way rummaging around for their princess??? Let’s, take the truth down
(gulp) with a pinch of salt! The times have changed and so are feelings and
attitudes. The people have changed and so are the relationships. The life
hasn’t changed but the lifestyle has. Love has changed too!!
1. The school time love stories!!!
The boy believes she is the one. The girl believes him
actually. The boy believes she is the most beautiful he has seen ever. The girl
believes him actually. The boy proposes her. She is in tears (the answer is
‘yes’ automatically). The boy buys her roses. The girl is in tears( due to
hormonal imbalance in those growing ‘love’ struck years). The boy takes her out
for coffee. The girl says she doesn’t drink coffee (she’s shy). The boy is
happy. The girl believes him actually. The boy holds her hand. The girl is in
tears (adrenaline rush, nothing else!). The boy plans all the meetings now. She
has faith in him. The boy gives her a lecture on the next date, I wish to express
my love to you, you are most special to me….(blah blah blah) The girl believes him actually. They hug,
they happy. The boy is confident. She now confides in him. He wants to kiss
her. She surrenders. They kiss, they happy. The go out for coffee. She is not
shy. He pays. They go out for lunch, they eat, he pays. End of the month, he
has no pocket money. They go out she pays. He is happy. She is not. They go out
for coffee, they share the bill. They meet, he wants to kiss she doesn’t bother
for the same (her mind is perhaps bugged up with those 400 rupees she had to
spend on the pizza the other day). His ego hurt. She enjoys. He doesn’t call up
in the evening. Nor she does. He doesn’t call the next whole day. As if she
cares. They end up. They happy. They move on.
2. The campus love
stories!!!
How important it is to wear the nail paint matching with the
handbag!! Gosh, else he’s
not going to notice
her. She has to go for that sleekest piece in her wardrobe each
morning. A kind of
dress that makes the makes the flab around her belly tucked in. The
infinite collection
of Gucci(s) and Elizabeth Ardens(s)(almost like a butterfly in a rose garden)
she is busy spreading the fragrance of her costliest perfume ever. How can she
let him miss the air she wants him to breathe (even if he is allergic to it,
and may die sneezing :/ ). She finds him cute, she finds him noticing her
(factually he notices the overdone make up and underdone clothes). Girl, you
think he notices you because you looking attractive, NO! Because you are the
most repulsive (only one among the others he rejects). That’s how it is in
college, that one sided love. I have seen many of them around me..indulged in
useless wooing practices and hopeless fantasies. Let me bring you the truth,
guys are better in this age, they know it definitely cannot be love, it is
infatuation (if he calls it so, then he is serious at least for a fling). It is
a happy thing to see those freaks have fun (ofcorce it is so) and the
butterflies to be heartbroken (that really helps them to update their facebook
status). Ok, let’s come to that! How I have always hated the love struck
updates on facebook turn into the hateful updates ( the same guy behind both) and not to miss those pretty ‘close’-ups
perhaps taken at Blue-O (a whole album put at FB, “me and my guy at Blue-O”)
turning into ‘love is painful’ the stolen pictures(Google images) . Ooof, who
told you to go for it, I always knew you are being an emotional fool. I hope
such cute girls know the choice between right and wrong, and actually look from
their eyes (if they also care for the pair of retinas they have ;))!!
Well, the main point is, that it is not the end of it. Love
stories should change but only for being mature and strong, but not a
consequence of changing love partners and hitting the records for the
break-ups. I am not at all interested in preaching you folks or delivering the
‘art of loving’ lecture, nor I am a love-guru, but that’s how it is and that’s
how I think it should be. If it is true love, it will come and knock your door,
it would be funny, troublesome, magical, conscious, romantic yet so practical.
Your guy/girl won’t be someone who may come with school time, leave you by the
end of board exams, comes afresh in your college time and you end up breaking
in third year!! Isn’t that unhealthy??? Love is pure, it is there for a lifetime.
So, what do you think out there?? Did your love story change, if yes has it
changed for the better?? This won’t be the end of my article. Hopefully, it begins now, with your viewpoints and your responses to the post. Wishing that
you have a great love story too :)
