We are all born impostors- is not it? We all conceal our real self and warp around an attire of artificiality that seems to be sooo real. But, sometimes we ourselves get cheated by our self-imposed hypocrisy. Let us talk of love for instance- "Love at First Sight".
Prince Charming meets Cinderella. Birds sing, the nature dances, the stars twinkle, the heart pounds-- all rubbish! Pardon me for firmly denouncing the romanticism and excuse me if I hurt the feelings of any love bird.
But Sire! Can you please tell me that how can a bird sing when it has no true vocal cords as we humans have. And do you find the twittering of birds, their non-sense chirping "melodious", when you are having a headache or badly in need of good sleep after a tiresome work. Nature can never dance. Stars do not twinkle of their own- it is only due to the variation of refractive indices of the layers of atmosphere.
I do not intend to flaunt the legacy of literature nor do I have the guts to do any such formidable offence. But have we ever tried to know that why the heart pounds faster when we meet our lover/beloved?? Hmm- anyone? Is it something incoherent like "love" or just an extra rush of adrenaline to the heart and some organs of procreation-- err recreation, I guess.
Actually, the bitter truth is that- "Love fades after acceptance". Because the hallucination and delusion disappears, leaving us in a state of reality. Earn money. Make a comfortable livelihood. Build a good house. Arrange for the future of your children.
So, as of now, you may tell "that happens" and it did happen to everyone before and shall happen to everyone hereafter. But love is immortal. But forgive me Sire, to be very crude in this matter. Let us throw some light to the crux of the matter and not merely the crust. Let us go deep into this matter to understand it.
Well, the carnal desires suppressed inside the body from the time of puberty till marriage have an outburst. Some may have a spurious outburst before marriage as well. Thanks to their so-called modern thinking, changing life-style and alarming hormonal imbalances. But, I shall remain confined to "marriage" strictly. Everyday, we read in newspapers about mid-life crisis, seven-year-old-itch, extra-marital affairs, et al. Why??
Why do two love-birds suddenly grow weary of their relationship? Even at the time of intimacy, she thinks of his' some handsome dude friends and he thinks of her's some hot friends; and together, they rise to the throes of orgasm. From music videos to fTV, from pornography to movies- thanks to the censorship and
bold attitude of its models. "I've a perfect hour-glass, curvaceous figure- whats wrong in flaunting with it?"- says a model. Yes, very true indeed. Our mindset has drastically changed. We have become "modern".
Cryptic thoughts and ideas should break all boundaries and transcend above all horizons. Don't tell me that you do not enjoy an item number! Shed off your inhibitions and as they say "be cool". "Papa gets angry when I wear short skirts for college"- complains a girl. Ask papa, why is he excited by girls of your age wearing revealing outfits? This is sheer hypocrisy Sire.
Oops! sorry, for we deviated from the main topic. Yes, "love and marriage".
So, where are the love-birds now? Have they forgotten all the sonnets of love in the midst of by hearting the home-loan plans, equity, provident funds etc? And yes, Sex- of course. He puts his hand on her shoulders and says- "You have given me everything darling." (But you don't have that fire within- but he doesn't say it)
And she, like a benevolent, dutiful wife says- "I've no qualms after marrying you, all my expectations are fulfilled. (Except a bungalow, a decent bank balance and of course your strength- but she doesn't say it)
Love birds- please do not get frustrated after reading this stuff, but if you have some time, then, please (yes- you heard it right), please "think" before you enter into a relationship. No doubt, freshly cooked food is delicious. Refrigeration prevents the formation of bacteria and fermentation. The only thing is that it makes the food cold. So, do not eat the food right now. Ignite the stove, reheat the food and enjoy it. Lets hope that you have a great dinner.......
