Love is in the air!

Love is in the air!

Feb-14th is approaching; everyone is talking for and against celebration of Valentine’s Day. They justify why we should celebrate and why we shouldn’t. Whether we celebrate it or not, we need to accept that ‘Love’ is indeed in the air.

I got to read the letter penned by RajkumarRao (Bollywood Actor) on Instagram for his lady love.

In this letter, he mentions about the grandiose that is specified and hyped for the celebration of love not only on this special day but any other day too. He mentions phrases ‘sweeping a girl off her feet’, ‘blinded by love’, ‘madly in love’, ‘better half’, ‘love is all you need’, ‘settling down’ and what he senses on these trendy phrases.

He correctly mentions about the grandiose and pressure that is surrounded around the term ‘LOVE’ these days. When this emotion is natural for any living being, the expectation that is set by the trend and the society is alarming, according to him. He finishes the letter saying that he will shoulder her in all her ways and together they will ace heights and do something meaningful to emphasize his love for her.

Hats off!

RKR has correctly sieved the knots. He has clarified what is what and how it is actually supposed to be. Very clear it is.

So, now what?

Does it feel incomplete somewhere?

Does it feel like the thread is hanging untied and there is something missing?

If your answer is a yes, please read ahead. Else :) Thank you for reading!


Friends,

Are you looking out for the piece that is missing? Feels like something is incomplete?

I know what you are looking for. Please read ahead! :)

Hari and I have been married for 6 years now. Ours was a matrimony based arranged marriage; USA-India couple; met very few times prior to our marriage. Our life till now in a glimpse: Living with all in-laws in a big joint family; working couple; different passions and hobbies; very few similar interest; 4 year old toddler. :)

We have our ups and downs. We fight nastily over petty and big things and patch up in a silly way. We have stayed without talking for weeks. We have spoken about divorce; 2nd marriage and what not! We are evolving. We learn from each other (I hope so!). We shoulder each other’s needs and responsibilities. But finally, together, we make a great partnership.

Now, when I look back into my marriage life, it is a normal cool life that I have lived. Everything is above average; something most of my fellows don’t get. I’m indeed indebted to the eternal energy and my husband for this.

But, I feel something is missing in my life trail.

A very small piece!

A trivial thing that shows up sometimes very obviously but is blinded with the life scenes other times!

Trying to find out what I'm looking for, I understood it is the ‘Magic’ in the relationship.

When I say magic, it is the small surprises, unexpected hugs and kisses, involuntary happy tears, date nights, beach walks, dinners, ice cream under the moon, rain drive and lots more. It doesn’t have to involve lot of money or effort. It just has to happen suddenly; so suddenly and unexpectedly that the ‘happening’ leaves a mark in the mind.

These special moments need not be created with grandeur; it needs to be stitched with your love and attention.




So, in response to RKR's love letter:


Dear Too-Logical-Lovers,

We know you do everything for the family. We know what we mean to you. We know you love us a lot. You are great for what you are. But, be a little less practical / analytical or logical sometimes. Get off your logical coat and put on something casual and lively too.

Spice up our lives, a little more, with some silly, cute, lovely things. You don’t have to be too logical always!
Please give it a thought!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Lots of matured love & little of silly love,
Confused love-partners!
