I had this really beautiful quote for the quote challenge…….but was pretty much blank what else to write.
And then I remembered this joke I had with mom 3-4 years ago.
I had a friend (something like a friend at least) and her mother was a very good cook.
Miss Friend was ofcourse a very loving person. Every month on Facebook we could see a new boy appear in her relationship status. She was ‘in a relationship’ but it was very complicated for the rest of the class to understand. π
And her mother would invite them all at home. And every time she would serve them ‘Stuffed paneer paratha and dum aloo‘. Basically the boys would have atleast one meal at her house.
She would make the same dish every time.
My friends and I would discuss that the boys date her only for the awesone parathas :p :p
After returning from school I would tell my mom, ‘Yesterday also her mother invited all the boys for paratha and dum aloo!! Doesn’t her mother realise that they weren’t her ‘friends’ but ‘boyfriends’??‘
This would happen every alternate day and then one day mom finally told me, ‘Baby you better not be messing around.
The only guy I’m gonna cook stuffed paneer paratha and dum aloo for is my son-in-law!!’
It was said casually in a very light mood.
Mom even forgot about it soon after.
But I remembered π
There are some words which sound very light and fun. But sometimes they hit you straight at heart.
My home is very close to my college. So all the group projects are made in my home.
There are times when my friends spend the whole day at my home. Morning to night. Every weekend. Sometimes they even come over after college. Half of the department…… running around my house.
Now getting them proper food…..which tastes good and won’t get them hungry, becomes a challenge π haha
And the easiest way to do that is serve everyone paratha and dum aloo. Easy and quick to make. And yummyy!!
Mom tells our cook to quickly make that dish for everyone.
But I never let that happen π :p
Our cook gets quite confused. Why don’t I let our guests eat paratha dum aloo?? What is the problem?? Haha :p
Mom gets very pissed!! ‘What nonsense is this?? This us so irritating!! What’s wrong with you?? Still stuck to something I said so many years ago?? What am I supposed to feed your friends now??’
We order pizza, Chinese or Biriyani. Friends happy. I happy. π :p
Its not really about Paratha or dum aloo. Its not even about any food. Its only the feeling. An effort to make love special. So that when I’ll meet someone, he knows how special he is.
At the end of the day its such wacky little moments that make your existence special.
Its not love unless its eternity. And love nothing but very strong thought. Thought is brain impulse. And brain impulse is Energy.
Energy gives you power and strength. Energy as the theorem goes, can never be created nor be destroyed. So it was always there.
Love between two people I feel is older than them. It was there before they were born and it’ll be there after death.
This has been my beliefs since I don’t know when……it was just there.
Inspite of the fact that even if my friends screamed, ‘OMG the hottest guy in the universe standing beside you!!‘.
And I would just stare at the floor.
Then one day a friend said, ‘Your prince charming’ll walk right past you and you’ll be counting bacteria on the tiles!!‘. Hearing that had even scared me for a time being lol :p
But ultimately you’ll only end up with the person you are fated to be with. You care to look around or you don’t……..your life is already predetermined.Β
Universe makes you do the right things at the right time.
We don’t get to choose our family. But apparently choosing our partner is in our hands.
But I guess that is also predetermined.
How much love does it take to take a bullet for someone. Not much I guess. All it needs is love……
Its so scary isn’t it?? Once you fall in love its a point of no return. You drown if the person you love wants you to drown. You happily drink poison if he gives you poison. Things go to a fantasy realm. Reality becomes a dream.
Someone else also has control over your life…….that is scary.
Its the scariest thing in the world. Its the only thing that can hurt you and leave you broken. But its also the only thing can gives you the power to become fearless. The only thing that makes everything worth it.
Ultimately its all about happiness. If it isn’t happy, it isn’t love.
And finally when its love……..
β₯β₯β₯β₯ βYouβre in my every breath and every thought, intertwined so deep inside me that loveβs not a strong enough wordβyou have my devotion, your name branded on my soul. A hundred years? Itβll never be enough. I want eternity.β Β β₯β₯β₯β₯
I found the lines on the net. And they have stayed with me ever since. They are pretty cool isn’t it?? Absolutely perfect!!
Besides…..as I believe, things happen when they are meant to happen.
And guess what?? I’m soon gonna be joining Android app making course. I really wanted to do this for a long time. One of the main reasons for taking up Engineering. Done with the arrangements….. few more things to go through and then I’ll be starting the class!! Yayyyyyyy!!!!!!
And this was my 2nd post for ‘Quote Challenge‘ and ‘Photo Challenge‘. Have a lovely day folks.
Bye bye,
Mithai

First part of the blog you are a romantic – I liked it and then poison and all , you become filmy – That’s scary and lovely at the same time. And as far as I know Love is not predefined because not everyone finds it in his or her entire life. So little bit efforts are needed.

I guess for finding love you can’t go on a wild goose chase. Even if you make tremendous effort……it might be futile isn’t it. Ofcourse doesn’t mean that you wait in a corner of your house and wait for someone to crash on the balcony……but I guess right things happen at the right time. And people who don’t find love……maybe its got something to do with karma??

Mithai, hang onto your thoughts about love! “Things like love go into a fantasy realm. Reality becomes a dream.” Yep, life is already predetermined. How about Common Sense Over Imagination!

“Love is a poison, for which love is the only cure”
Said the madman to the pauper, each a prisoner to loves cause
Nice write, and a very easy to access style in your format
My own writing on love takes a darker hue, a poison born of resentment that I am yet to match with honest emotion, the hollow promice that such a cure is out there slowly dieing every day
“To die of a broken heart is easy, living after the event is what really hurts, something no one should wish to survive”

Thank you so much for visiting my blog!! π
Even though love is a very important thing, but its not the ‘only’ thing.
If you are looking for cure, its in you.
Happiness isn’t based on any other person.
In the mean time, when who are waiting for love, I guess its a time for self improvement and also do everything that makes you happy!! π
Best of luck to you!! π
And maybe a broken heart is a chance to something better…….if it didn’t work out in the first time, its better to realise that it wasn’t meant to be and is only a doorway to stronger and better future π
A happier future with a better person.
