It happens only in...Movies.

The first breeze of love in air brings in butterflies in the stomach of every normal being. It gives the best adrenaline rush ever and never let's you stay still. Needhi is high school student, not so popular but definitely talented and studious. Sitting on the first bench...her eyes found something more interesting than the blackboard and the equations written on it...Its her Crush... ;) :D


And while the classroom turned into a garden with waterfalls and violins played in air, she gathered all her courage to get up to reach him and said. "Listen, open your ears and mind and get it for once that from now you are mine....blah blop blap...Aa...." What's happening...!!! The class is noisier than a fish market and she woke up to reality to find neither violins and nor waterfalls. It happened but only in Needhi's head. "Alas...", she said to herself, "It happens only in Movies." and pensively looked away outside the window at a woman sitting alone in the park on a bench.

This is Laura,a business woman, a wife and a wonderful mother as well... Its 5pm and she is overjoyed to see the husband Daniel coming to her... not as tired as usual, but dressed up well, looking fresh and probably hiding something behind... what is it? Her mind thinks of so many possibilities..." Is it a big rose like the one he gave me the first time we met..." she said to herself, smiling wider than usual. "All this, at the same place; it would be so romantic like a flash back ! Or may be there is this entire bouquet of my favorite yellow flowers just like the evening he had proposed me here..." And while she was done with her over thinking and speculations, Daniel stood before her and placed a cellphone over her face...Whaaat.....Laura is so confused... the harsh ringing cellphone.....blah blop blap.... Its her cell phone ringing and its Daniel calling...

As she picked up the phone she spoke hurriedly..."Dear...I am on the same bench where would always meet during our college... How can you take so long to find it ...Come fast..." And Daniel on the other hand lost even the two minutes that he had borrowed to speak and hanged up the call on the order of his boss...leaving behind an auto-message....Call me later? Busy in a meeting. Laura sat still, dispppointed, a bit angry and wondered "Happy Marriage Anniversaries only happen in Movies... sigh..."

As she sat in dismay, an old couple walked by. They looked calm and held each others hand...

It was like an ultimate symbol of content and peace...Utter bliss...but only until another old lady confronted the old gentleman and screamed. "Gattu !!! you better don't forget your specs before taking me for a walk next time."  Grandpa hurriedly took his hand away and did the rightful...apologized both the ladies. :D

Relationships are weird...but beautiful in their own way. Some like Needhi need Courage...Some like Laura's need Time and some like grandpa...well,  he just needs to carry his specs, right?! :D Yeah...and while the  reality v/s expectation check is almost always disappointing, the best thing to do is not imagine and expect. For example, Needhi might be missing out on another guy who might be secretly falling for her instead and Daniel might have just planned a surprise dinner back home while Laura sat disappointed in the same old park...Well, for things to happen in real...we first need to live in the real world which is why it is apt to live the moment... :D Stop Expecting and Start Living. Look around and you will find a reason to smile :)
