Jab we met


Love is a beautiful feeling, even when it involves the fear of losing the person you love. As Tennyson wrote in In Memorium: “It is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.”

Ever since I can remember I had wanted to fall in love. And, not only fall in love, but fall in love with the right person. I wanted someone who would accept my faults and love me for who I am, I decided that the elusive emotion of love wasn’t meant for me and I reconciled myself to the fact that I might never find my Mr Right. I should have known that God’s sense of humor is wicked, at the very least!

My first interaction with the person I fell in love with was explosive.
VINOD - who’s incessantly HOT and naive at heart. He is cool, confident, smart, clever, humble, kind and social. He has touched my life in all possible ways, his genuineness, charm, intelligence, wit, honesty, compassion, modesty have wooed me.

I talk to him for hours every day.
As time passed, we realized that we were on the same wavelength. Slowly mutual liking emerged into a bond of empathy, which led to a lot of advice giving and taking and we started spending a lot of time taking to each other. I still don’t know when this strong friendship blossomed into love – was it when I heard him talking about his female friends and felt the first arrow of jealousy prick me, or was it when I found myself waiting for his calls and visits?

I don’t know. And after months of knowing him, it is still a mystery to me. When I look back now I wonder, was there actually a time when we didn’t know each other? I’m sure God must be having a good laugh for He brought me to the edge of despair before filling my life with sunshine.
HE IS A BLESSING ON ME!!!

His biggest strength is his ability to accept, learn and move on. His biggest weakness is tears in my eyes. And before I forget he doesn’t have a bone of romance in him (I hope he doesn’t get to read this) wink! wink!

This person is the joy of my life – he makes me laugh, he reduces me to tears, he still advises me and there are times when he even irritates me. He brings a smile on my face and a twinkle in my eye, he makes my heart thump faster.
when I close my eyes at night, the one emotion that stays with me is the feeling of security that he gives me. We are not officially committed to each other, but some bonds don’t require a piece of paper. The union is already there, between our hearts and souls. And that I feel is above all rituals.

WILL THIS LAST FOREVER?????????? This is a question I couldn’t answer and didn’t even try to. And, neither did he. If I get him then life can never get any better.

I don’t know what our future holds. Each day I wake up wondering whether this will be the day when I will lose him and each night I thank God for letting me share another day with him.

I got a very nice forward the other day. It said – when we were kids, we were eager to grow up and fall in love. Now that we are grown up we have realized that wounded knees were much better than broken hearts. But I would say, give me a broken heart any day, for even if I have to go through the agony of losing him, it will be worth it. For at least I had a chance to love him and be loved unconditionally by him. It’s not important to know if I will be with him 30 years from now, what’s important is that he makes me feel alive even for the 30 minutes that I spend with him. That is the biggest blessing I could ask for. The rest, as they say, is a bonus.
