=================================================================================================================================================================================

So, What happens to these relationships when distance increases.. Is it proportional in any way..?? God knows, wat these people have in their minds, why they fight and where

they gonna land up ultimately..

Everything seems to be fine when a guy sees a gal for the first time in coll (or in some cases, even before or a lil later than tht). Later, they get to the normal routine of being "just" friends.. Movie, ice cream, birthday treats, gifts and so on.. so normal until "Bells start ringing on their own, Lights start glowing(Adhuvaraikum power cut ah enna.:P :P)".. Somehow everything gets settled, unofficially they get declared as a couple, Life is more Beautiful... Again "Movie, ice cream, birthday treats, gifts and so on" continues, but this time only the 2 of them.. No one seems to be in between or around them.. Coll comes to an end and there starts the tragedy.!!!!!

Though technology is at its peak and have made distances shorter, nothing can be like having a person next to you when u need them the most.. An nothing can be worse than the depression it gives, when u feel that that someone is far far away - his/her mobile is not reachable, he/she is in idle state in gtalk or he/she says they'll call u back later when u want to talk to them.. Pathetic ofcourse.. And then is when the real life starts for them.. Unlike love stories in 1990s, when things went smooth after both the parents get convinced, now the real villains seem to be either the gal or guy themselves..

Some one has to explain wat "getting settled" means.. Everyone needs to get settled.. Engey sellum indha padhai types... Seriously, no one knows.. The guy wants to get his sis married, the gal wants to complete her higher studies(if she does tht, then the guy will also wish to get the same degree before marriage, idhu oru criteria) and wat not...
Marriage is a word that scares them off.. Life is busy for both of them.. Office, friends, party, studies, seminars, assignments, etc, etc.. Amidst all this, where from to expect love and romance.. All that is there in the minds of both, no way to express. The worst of all, when u fall ill, the other side (who is suppoooosed to be the better half) doesn't even have the slightest knowledge of it..
And to be kept in mind, all these happen after both the side parents get convinced and keep pressing constantly to get married to both of them... Hmmmmmmmmmmmm................. who's mistake is it... Hard to predict..

Watever, Life has to still go on.. go on an on... The next day morning, they need to wake up and get ready to make themselves presentable.. After all, thats also a part of life...
All the Best to the Many..!!
Thumbs up..!!! :)
