Love mera hit hit!!

Facebook, the virtual world. But eventually one of the most renowned and used social networking site/easily accessible site. Stalking people, knowing about their interests, hobbies, relationship status and a lot more. Though you never know how much of it is true. But, that’s where we actually live and reside these days. And maintaining a profile has become more important rather than having your own individuality.

Modern day love stories have become more of a matter of show-off rather than actually getting committed. Commitment nowadays means changing your relationship status to “in a relationship” or “it’s complicated” rather than truly indulging yourself into “being COMMITTED to a person”. Youngsters are more interested in having a tag to their relationship rather than actually getting serious.

I have seen relationships where the guy and the girl hardly talk or hardly meet, but are deeply committed and on the other hand, I've seen relationships where it’s just a matter of “acting cool” just because you have a girl’s waist around your arms. Creepy, isn't it?

Modern day love stories seem all Greek to me, you meet every day, you talk the whole night and it’s all romantic for you. And soon, within months, the guy over the phone or the girl around your arms changes. Wow! Indeed, cool.

Fall in love. It’s the most awesome feeling one could possibly come across. But rise above the publicity stuff and learn to commit in the first place. And a personal space has to be there, I believe.

Gone were the days when love was a very pious and vivid emotion. When the term “emotion” meant  something. Something deep indeed.

But seemingly this new era has redefined it. Or may be replaced it by mere infatuation. Getting in a relationship is more a way to prove  the maturity now. More involved in the public display of affection.  People who don’t have a boyfriend/girlfriend are considered to be either backward or narrow minded. And with this so called love comes the “publicity ”. Why this hullabaloo? Well, it’s all thanks to the western culture.

We’re so much influenced by it now that the day is not far when that culture would take over our tradition.

Is it just a matter of show and not about the feelings? Is it necessary that until and unless the guy and the girl are seen together walking hand in hand, that they’re committed. Is it necessary that you talk whole night and without it, your days are incomplete? Can’t a relationship be just a matter of having trust on each other that even if my facebook status is single, even if I don’t roam around with my love, I believe that my relationship is one the best among all others? For all those who answer in a yes, your love is surely hit hit, others, keep updating your profiles, you’re indeed the so called “COOLEST” of all.

There has to be some individuality in a relationship. Never burden your principles on the others. This isn't necessary that the second person matches your wavelength. To each, his own.  You want just a “relationship tag”? Cool! Go for it but please spare me this publicity in the name of Love. Love is not about showing, of all the love that you have, the weakest is the one that can be shown.

Love is like having strings around you, which aren't tying you but are setting you free. It’s like a “mukt bandhan”.
