Whole my life I have wondered about this world, about its
creation. Almost everything happen around us is like miracle. Since my childhood I have interest in various civilizations
and cultures. Each is so unique and different than other. Eastern end to
western end, we can see variations of cultures.
Somewhere in East and Central parts, people hug each other
as token of respect and brotherhood. In some other part if two men hug each
other in public people think they are together.
However I am truly amazed to see that one thing is constant
across this globe "LOVE". Love speaks without language. From east to
west, from North to south, animal to human everyone understands love. Isn't it;
just as that song says "Love is not an easy thing, the only baggage that
you can bring? It’s all that you can’t leave behind".
I came to know a beautiful love story of an Irish couple
that I would like to share today.
Over the lunch, I don’t remember how talk started, but it
was about love and families. Once of our Irish colleague told us his story. They
met while he was pursuing his Masters. They fell in love. They told their parents,
everyone agreed. Couple decided to be together for some time before getting
married. They spent two or three years with each other. Both got jobs, they
adjusted their lives to accommodate new responsibilities of their job with
their personal time.
After two years, they decided to marry. However what I liked
most about their marriage was their decision of affording all on their own. Since
the time they started their job, both shared this understanding that they will
not be burdening their families for their wedding or their honeymoon vacation
and hence were saving for same.
When they decided to marry, together with their savings they
decided that half of it should go to honeymoon vacation and in remaining half wedding
ceremony must be adjusted. This decision of theirs is just awesome; they are so
mature, responsible and understanding. I owe deep respect to this couple for
such a decision.
Let it be any relation, Personal or Professional, Love or
Friendship; it boils down to trust, understanding and adjustments.
Now a days, I have seen lust and infatuation being termed as
love. It’s so funny to hear stories of such love, in January Guy and Gal Love
each other, till Valentine comes Guy love other gal and gal might be in so
called love with some other guy. And then they will celebrate their valentine
with their "for time being" love saying "I LOVE YOU". It’s
hard to distinguish between true love and infatuation. It’s like differentiating
between diamond and crystals, only person with suitable qualities can separate
the two.
I like to hear both type of love stories, one (True Love)
make me feel happy while other (Infatuation) entertains me; make me laugh (after
all laughter is medicine).
Even though I never experienced true love till now in my
life, but to witness success of such love stories make me feel good. I wonder
how it must feel to share every moment of your life with such a wonderful &
understanding partner in just a journey (Life) with so many surprises.
I am still a lonely soul staring at heaven's door awaiting
my angel (of love) to arrive.
