Have you met Love?

"No di...we are planning to take a break this year,we both don't want to mess with our board exams"
This is what my 15 year old neighbor told me when I casually inquired about her freshly updated 'boy friend'.
This cute little girl sneaks out of her house almost every evening on her pink basket embellished bicycle with gushing enthusiasm.
Our guy, Mr.'I am at the peak of awesomeness' rides around dramatically,with one hand busy disentangling his hair,in a complete 'pehla nasha' style.
They both invariably meet amidst a marketplace and park their respective vehicles.
Over a pack of wafers or some affordable orange colored lick-able ice cream they would discuss the most staple part of their life, home work.She likes science,he likes maths so that worked out well in their 'relationship'.They follow the ritual of exchanging messages over phone late night,which  has become a universally accepted and practiced method of expressing or acknowledging THE if 'they' are to be believed...'Love'.
While I was left quizzed with the idea of two 15-16 year old kids romancing over phone, she gives me a look of haughty disdain on my failure to contemplate the depth of relationships even at a 'end of quarter' age.
She does need guidance from me when she has a computer science test the next day,but when it comes to 'fundas' about guys and and relationships, I end up at the receiving end of a case-study based 'gyaan' session.


I don't know if its just me or has 'break-up'  become a tea-time entertainment source these days.Every evening while I dip my cookie into the tea,it comes out soaked with a new sympathy-expecting heartbreak story and as desperately as one might narrate it as new,it never really is.

They fell in love while on a trip from college.
Excuse me for being repetitive but despite my effort I have been unable to find an appropriate alternative to 'falling in love' yet.So yeah..they fell in love,stayed in a relationship for around 5 long years,something went wrong and they had to break-up. This a generic story common to at least 10-12 people i know,so I wouldn't emphasize on the 'something' that went wrong because from my first/second/third hand experience I can ascertain that it must be marriage/long-distance/lack of interest/parents/hotter chick/richer guy.

I was very close to inventing a formula on calculating the time period required to 'move on' based on the data  of time spent in a relationship but I realized that they are not directly proportional.There is an insanity involved in love and only if its percentage is known,mathematics might be able to intervene.

"I saw her for the first time and I knew this is the girl I want to marry."
I am a huge bollywood fan,but no..I am not quoting it from any of my favorite SRK movies.More often than not,life gets more unreal than  reel and in one of those moments, I encounter such godly instances.
He looks at her and without even knowing what language she speaks is instantly ready to spend his whole bloody life with her and with no possible logic I can find a way to explain that even she ends up falling in love with him.
Agreed 'marriages are made in heaven' ,the goof ups maybe for the sake of entertainment or maybe there are freshers being recruited for the job who end up messing with the whole database.

Flabbergasted with all the love that surrounds me, I end up penning down my bizzare thoughts ,with a fake contentment of having achieved some expertise and with a hope that life shall endlessly surprise me into ...you know what :)
