Expression of sentiments is one of the uniquest traits of humankind and love is the purest sentiment!


"This is the first time when I am putting together my thoughts of you when I am sane (read not drunk ). In retrospect, this should have come a lot before than now. But then I guess you can’t plan for all things in life like you can’t plan to fall in love and then you can’t plan to fall out of it.    

I have always liked looking at things in retrospect. Mostly, it gives the chance to think through your choices in life. You envision yourself at crossroads and wonder how your life would have panned out, had you made a different choice. You get to explore the things that drive you and the things that you really desire and in essence differentiate between the ‘essentials’ and ‘good-to-haves’.

This time around, I introspected and dwelled on one significant chain of thought. And over and over when i pondered it, I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. To begin with, I see people all around me getting separated or divorced. Some of them may owe it to bad choices while some others may pass it on to the need for starting afresh but more than anything it is the result of digging into a fruit knowing fully well that it is rotten at the other end. And when you start on that note, you have to throw that fruit at one point or the other, mostly sooner than later.

Analogies apart, if you enter a relationship which is not built on love or at least a mesmerizing promise of that, you are on a suicidal path. On the other hand, there are the lives that you have built on love. There the possibility is that you may wear out the love but the essence is never lost.

I know that you fear carrying guilt if you make a call for me. I just want to tell you that guilt does not last for a lifetime, but regrets do. The regrets of not following your heart in the first place, the regrets of not treading the less traveled path and the regrets of living the rest of your life as a simple compromise. 

Life does not come with guarantees, it comes as a mix of good bets and futile bids. A life with me may not be a rose-laden straight path but what is life without a mix of steep lows and sheer highs. All is ask is for you to think again for ours sake and for the lives that we can have. Because at some point in your life you have to take a risk. You have to trust love and fate and me!

I cannot promise you a lifetime of happiness, but I can promise you my earnest effort in that regards. I cannot promise you a new adventure every day, but I can promise that our lives together will be an adventure. I cannot promise you a life devoid of sadness, but I can promise you my presence by your side in all those moments. I cannot promise you the world, but I can promise you my world.

P.S. I Love You !"
