Romance

We all live in an age where respective loves are dumped via sms so as to save the embarrassment and agony of a communication otherwise. Extremely apologetic of having started the post on a negative note. But couldnt help thinking how the mind has strayed or looked out for love in the strangest of places.

Buildings in Mumbai are the perfect for romances. Fed up on a diet of who like whom and who meets whom in which corner of the suburb, it rarely dawns as to when you get caught in the vertex. For starters in the days gone by ( say 20-25 years ) there would be one or two decent looking females on an average of 5 buildings. I know that I am exaggerating but if this isnt creative license what is ? You are fighting known devils ( buddies of your building and unknowns of 4 other buildings ) in attracting the attention of the lady in question. I am of the firm belief that along with exams this has been the single most contributory factor in the 35-40 year old's corprate success. It's a dog eat dog world and you better stack up.

On the pretext of a contribution for the building picnic or an inormation of the latest cultural activity of the building , trips to the house are made. Parents of good looking girls are either extra friendly or excessively grumpy never figured that one out. This process last till the time the board results are not out. Post 10th , the innocence gives way to a little bit of worry on the future ahead, the burden of studies et al.

Rarely have I heard or seen the building romaces reaching the altar of marraige. But what the hell it was good while it lasted!!!
