A week to the back to back wedding season and I have serious symptoms of maturity. So, because of lack of work in
office these days, the Clients seem to be on the upcoming Holiday-orgasm, I
have been thinking about how our perspective about love/commitment changes with
age.
Just two days back, at one of our
drunk nights, a friend tells me, “I am in the age –bracket where investing
time, energy and emotions (Yes, emotions indulge in the Quarter life) in a
frivolous relationship seems a waste. Whatever, I get into now, will/should be
on the path to culminate into the 7 vows”. I concur.
I guess, being with someone now,
is beyond the feeling of butterfly in the stomach or just the need of feeling
that body next to yours or a trophy to display to the world. The shit gets real
now. The crude story is 6 months and love is out of the window in any relationship,
so can you bank your lifetime on just Love. NO.
Without sounding morbid,
commitment has a bucketlist! Mine might be too prudish for yours but it is
certainly there. There is no cliché of “He should complete me” but someone who,
may be with different lifestyle or slightly parallel yet complimenting life-ideology,
helps me flourish my own life-ideologies. If I don’t come out as better person
with another human attachment in my life, what’s the point of that attachment!
Gone are the days of 36 ke 36 gun
match hue hain! The two individuals can have separate lifestyles, no way am I advocating
whoring around but my inquisitive plunges in baking obviously will not sync in
with his man-love for football. But that’s alright. OD-ing on anything, anyway
leads to catastrophe.
So long story cut short.
(a) Only I am the centre of my happiness and I can’t depend on anyone
to sprinkle fairy dust in my life.
(b) As disappointing as it sounds, too old for dating games.
(c) Relationships are not like monkey on back. Individual lifestyles
while inspiring the other person to grow beautifully is a keeper.
(d) Even with all the hullahoop the desire to come back to each other
is it.
(e) Get me my Vodka with water and limejuice!
