Hi everyone,
I came across this very cute saying...
The
best relationships usually begin unexpectedly
Do you believe in this? And if you
don’t...have you heard about the
couple who met through Facebook because they have the same name? Yes, really.
Isn’t it amazing when things happen at a totally
unexpected place and time, yet turn out to be so right? We experience life in
different ways, and store away those experiences, good and bad, some of which
can help us in future, while others we just want to get rid of in our memory.
But sometimes something happens out of the ordinary, snaring us, catching hold
of our senses and rooting our feet to the floor. That one moment stands out
among all others. Yes, the moment of being in love.
Falling in love is magical
and unpredictable. Maybe that's the part of being magical, that you can't
predict with whom or where or when you'll fall in love. Or even why. Because
isn't it true sometimes we really can't pinpoint what draws us to a person. Is
it his or her smile or when they unexpectedly make us laugh or the way that
special person can make you feel your worries weigh less than cotton candy?
I often think of these
variables which make no logic. That's why we say we love with not our brain but
our heart. Being a medical person I can tell you the emotional part is actually
not under control of your thinking part because it has very little neuronal
connections with the logically thinking areas of our cerebrum. Yet the control
exerted by this part is tremendous.
Love is of all passions the
strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.

Of course, love occurs
between people who are totally different and at unexpected places. That’s when we get the ‘huh?’ moment. When we
hear of unlikely couples pairing up. A celebrity marrying a commoner is certain
to get our eyebrows raised as is a Bollywood actor marrying a doctor.
As said above, like the
splashing of dispersing colours in the sky, love overtakes all and listens to
no resistance.
I quite appreciate that as I
have a husband who is very different in his thinking - sometimes diagonally so
- from me! In fact the first time we
met, I had hot coffee while he took a cold cola. So that seems to set the trend
for us of different tastes and different outlooks. Years later, we still sit
together and he sips cold coffee while I enjoy hot tea!
So do you agree that two
people can be very different and still fall in love? That love can pounce on
you coming out of the hiding in unexpected places?
Take the hero and heroine of
my debut book, Bollywood Fiancé For A Day, for instance. Zaheer is a renowned
Bollywood actor. He’s used to the glamorous, shiny tinsel world. Vishakha is a
dedicated doctor who hardly has time off to enjoy life.
Normally their paths
wouldn’t ever cross.
But Vishakha has entered and
won a contest. The prize is a date with Zaheer.
Different personalities.
Meeting unconventionally. Then finding there was something irresistible keeping
them together despite everything that shouldn't.
What can these two find in
common? What do you think?
Do share if you believe love
can happen unexpectedly. If that kind of love can be worth pursuing?
Eager to hear your views J
Love,
Ruchi.
