Love Is Blind, So Are Lovers

One Of My dearest Friend, he has taken promise form me not to tell his name that I should publish this. This is his own story. Please read this and let me know what you feel. Lets call my friend here Mr. Hari. So let me know about your comments on Mr. Hari. 

Everybody in this world would have heard this most popular saying - ‘Love is Blind!’. While I don’t know whether love is blind or not, because no girl ever ‘Loved’ me so far(what a shame!), I can certainly say that ‘Lovers are blind’ or in other words ‘Love makes lovers blind’. I would like to recall couple of incidents that made me to come to this conclusion.

1)        Year 2002 – 06, good old Engg college days! Days of fun-filled madness and Ultimate freedom. We were 3 musketeers staying together at Men’s hostel. One of us was a TDH guy (Tall Dark Handsome). And there was our Heroine, who was at Ladies’ hostel. Everyone used to call her Chapati, because her face was sooo flat, not to mention the unmentionable. (apologies for being so rude). Through one of his friends our hero met heroine. As you all know(and probably would have done it), whenever a girl looks at a boy and smiles, everybody will start pumping that boy saying ‘Man… she is giving heavy LINE, defffinitely she has some feelings towards you, go check it out, blab la’ . So even me and my other roommate did our fundamental duty and started ‘Lifting’ our hero day and night. Months passed by and they became close friends. So close that he used to be around Ladies’ hostel more that Men’s J. One fine night when we were partying, our Hero interrupted us and told – “Guys, I love her very much. And we have decided to marry each other”. Suddenly silence prevailed in room for 5 mins!!. Then he went on to say - “We make a very good pair right?”. “Yes yes, sure you do. Like Rama and Sita” - told we, helpless but to laugh within ourselvesJ.

2)        Last year I was in Chennai for some time. There I got to meet one of my childhood friends. He is a year younger than me. Some months before that he had called me to tell about his new ‘Girlfriend’. That time I had taken it on my pride, just as in Asian paint ad – “wah chote, ab toh tu girlfriend bhi rakhne laga” “aisa nahin hai bhayya”. One day while walking on Marina beach shore, ssatakh…, there popped a photo out of his wallet.

“Guess who?” he asked.

“OMG is she your girlfriend?”.

“Yeah mann, what do you think, how is she?”.

“Beautiful man, you are one big luckly $#@$, congratulations”. (to be frank, she looked like ok kind of a girl. Can say little below average)

 “Seriously bro. Never in my life I thought that I will marry such a beautiful girl!” he exclaimed with joy, and his face enlarged like a pumpkin J.

They say that – women ‘fall’ for wealthy men and men ‘fall’ for beautiful girls. 1^st part of this might be true literally, but the second part – ‘beautiful girl’ is a relative term. Beauty lies in the eyes of beholder.

I would like to close this very long blog with this quote which I read in some book. (not exact words) – “I follow the world’s most popular religion that - My Wife is so Beautiful and My Kids Are Smartest” J.
