Long Distance Relationship

-

One of my colleagues broke up with her long time boyfriend. She said that her boyfriend was relocated to some Middle East country and had no intentions to return any time soon.  So, they decided that they would break up instead of waiting for their relationship to fall apart and destroying every good memory they had when they were actually in love.  When I asked her whether she was heartbroken, she replied ‘I am, but it’s for a better good’.

There are so many couples, both married and unmarried who are in a long distance relationship, as long as 10 years or even more. All they long is a better tomorrow.  They live their life expecting a better future for themselves or their children.  And there are people like my colleague who believes in ‘living in the moment’. Does long distance relationship actually work?? As I pondered deep, I was clueless. 

Being in a long distance relationship is not easy.  It’s actually terrible coz you want someone to hold your hand when you are falling, need a shoulder to cry on when you are sad and to hug someone when you are really happy.  Talking over a phone or the net is completely different than simply being with someone and not uttering a single word. The conflicts are hard to solve coz you tend to read each line literally (coz that’s the only thing possible). The worst part is when you are unable to reach out to the other person when you need the most (coz its 2 am in the other time zone). Sometimes it’s like you are starving, you have food (good food), but it’s in France!!  Let’s face it; no one wants to be lonely and miserable.

Having said that, is love too shallow that it can’t undergo a test of time??? Finding the one true love is hard.  If you are truly /madly/ deeply in love, distance and time are just a number. Just like a tree stands tall and strong even after a strong wind and rain, one can always find ways to work out the relationship which may include taking a call at 2am or actually visiting France to find the food J instead of being grumpy over the facts.  It’s true that we long for togetherness but more than that, we long for love. So, isn’t it better to let go off our egos and difference than losing the one true love??? This might require a lot of patience and understanding, but nothing is impossible.  Everything has a solution including distance. So, may be long distance is not that bad idea either, all you need to do is to find a solution to work it out.

      I completely understand what you feel.. As I said, some relationship work out and some don't.. I just wish that someday you will look back and just laugh over the 6 years as it will be a learning and not a luggage. :)

True Love!

The other day, I invited some of my girlfriends for a night stay. As all young girls, all we did was talk, that too for hours. We talked about our job (which was all about a new hot girl in office and the threat that followed), life (that it sucked), food (about a new mobile app for calculating calories in foods), music and movies (who wore the worst dress at the oscars) and guys (which was about 90% of what we talked). After a few glasses of beer, we started talking about a vague topic - ‘love’. We struggled to get into a conclusion what love actually is.  After midnight, we finally agreed that ‘ love is something, the feeling of which is unexplainable and the lovers clueless '. As a 16 year old girl, love for me was a romantic flick like ‘You’ve got mail’ or ‘Preety Woman’ where two perfect individual meet, have their differences in the beginning which they sort out and eventually lead a perfect happy life. But now, I feel of having I lapse of judgment then. All these ro

When I look back at my life, there’s not a single moment that I would change. I don’t wanna jinx it by saying, but I am in love with my life.  Did I have a fairy tale story? –No. Was my life perfect?? -Indeed not. Like everyone else, I had my share of pain. I failed a number of times.  I failed to get through the medical college although my only persistent dream since childhood was to be a paediatrician (Short term dreams included marrying a Spanish Guy, being the next Jodie Foster after watching Silence of the lambs or being adopted by Bill and Melinda) To see my only dream get shattered was like being judged and told that ‘You are not good enough’.  It echoed in my ears for so long that sometimes it was hard to hear anything else.  I failed in my CA finals too (However, it’s worth mentioning that there’s a saying- If Jesus has never failed; he must try CA). I have failed in numerous assignments at work.  I have failed to meet the expectations of many people. There were times when

Life in 3D

 Life's a riddle. When we complete sorting out the troubles in life, we are struck with other new problems. On the other hand, when we lose hope and are ready to give up, life shows new opportunities and new hopes. It surely acts in a mysterious way. I happen to remember a quote from one of my favourite movies -The forrest Gump,'life's like a box of chocolates,you never know what you're gonna get', which is infact very true. May be this is what makes life worth living,worth fighting and worth surviving.        So, it's a mere waste of time if you are crying over life for not being as planned. Remember, Life has not promised to be any different than what it is now. May be its simply about living each day, each hour and each moment. So, what the hell!!  Make mistakes, laugh at it, life's not fair, accept it, fall down, rise again, face the fearful, fall in love, stand for yourself, be stupid, dance in the rain, make a fool out of yourself, cry your h
