DISCLAIMER: This piece, is a work of fiction, albeit, not entirely. All characters and their names (if any), are more or less fictitious and any resemblance to person(s) living (I don't write about the dead), is pretty much, intentional. And yes, I indeed mean, almost, every word that I write...The more I see you... the more I know you.When you've grown up on mushy love stories and novels that make you believe just about every word they have in them (No, it isn't Mills and Boons that I'm referring to), you tend to begin thinking, nay dreaming. And resist as hard as you may, you do end up believing in phenomenon like beginner's luck (The Alchemist), life coming a full circle (The Glass Palace), sins and penance (Crime and Punishment), happy endings (old school Bollywood and most of Hollywood as well), love at first sight (where did that come from?)...
The more I know you... the more I like you.
The more I like you... the more I love you.
The more I love...
...the less, I want you.

Oh Sorry. I'm so very sorry. This was supposed to be a valentine's day special. I have 364 other days to tell you the story of MY life.
SO, on to it...
She walked in at some weird moment of my life. All good moments seem weird in hindsight, you see.
And, I won't beat about the bush, yeah she was pretty. The prettiest I had seen in a long, long time. And cute, smart, intelligent, passionate, compassionate... all qualities that I would fill up to describe 'The Perfect Match' field in a social networking form. And I wished I could know her more. So, I did. Just a bit more. I did. And more. More and more. The more I came to know her, the more I wanted to know her. Hell! Before I knew it, I was in love. The love song at first sight had moved on, to a serenade...
But they say, you can never know them enough - girls I mean. And so hadn't I. So just like the whiff of moist monsoon breeze that she had made her way in to my life... she blew away, like an alien westerly.
Or so I thought, then. Because when I reflect back now, I realise she had never walked into my life. It was a tale of two parallel galaxies, that had come close, by serendipity, never to cross paths. Life moved on. It has, because it had to.
And I lived on, knowing and somehow, believing, that I couldn't love again, having given away all that I had.
That was yesterday. One of the numerous days gone by...
Sifting through the memories of the days gone by, I came across this treasure chest. And it had all my feelings, emotions, inspirations and the real me, stacked just the way I would have ever wanted - all messed up, and ready to be... let loose! I am yet to figure out who all to thank for the safe keeping job. But yes... I'm waiting again, for, the one.
And I trust me, when I say that - "She'll be loved."
P.S. : A Happy Valentine's day to all the readers of THE iNFINITY :)

"...like beginner's luck (The Alchemist), life coming a full circle (The Glass Palace), sins and penance (Crime and Punishment), happy endings (old school Bollywood and most of Hollywood as well), love at first sight (where did that come from?)... " and add "love at last sight(my blog http://iitashish.blogspot.com/2008/09/love-at-last-sight-yeah-uve-read-it.html)" :P
I also hope that you get your dream-girl soon :)

@ Buddy:
I had a gut feeling you'd be the first one here... n as I told you - "The One", is still some years away... you'll be back by then! lolz
February 14, 2009 at 11:49 AM
@ Isha:

@ the pink orchid:

and yes... a toast to new beginnings...

February 14, 2009 at 11:55 AM
@ Ashish: Haven't yet experienced love at 'last sight'... but must say, seems to be a groundbreaking and more heartbreaking concept ;)
wish you a very happy valentine's day ...
February 14, 2009 at 11:57 AM
@ Charmed One!:
thank you so much for such a thoughtful valentine's day wish... and a very happy valentine's day to you too ;)
February 14, 2009 at 4:49 PM
Your disclaimer was what struck me the first, next was of course the post, not entirely the work of fiction... well even though I am not exactly someone to be talking about love, yet I'll say someone somewhere is definitely for you... but don't wait please, it could be too late! ;)
On a serious note, be the first to say what you feel...
Happy Valentine's Day! :)
February 14, 2009 at 6:57 PM
@ Akansha: That's why I typed it in a real fine font, the disclaimer, but some people I guess are just too good at reading between the lines. ;) ... hmm.. someone somewhere... that's bollywood again DTPH was it? lol..
sometimes you just have to.. wait. No, actually I'm short of words right now... so, on a closing note... Happy Valentine's Day :)
February 14, 2009 at 9:53 PM
I could fill a thousand pages telling you how I felt and still you would not understand.
So now I leave you without a sound except my heart shattering as it hits the ground....
February 14, 2009 at 10:05 PM
It is impossible to fall out of love, love is such a powerful emotion,
That once it envelops you, it does not depart.
February 14, 2009 at 10:21 PM

Hi,
I was reading ur blog posts and found some of them to be very good.. u write well.. Why don't you popularize it more.. ur posts on ur blog ‘Yes, She'll be loved.’ took my particular attention as some of them are interesting topics of mine too;
BTW I help out some ex-IIMA guys who with another batch mate run www.rambhai.com where you can post links to your most loved blog-posts. Rambhai was the chaiwala at IIMA and it is a site where users can themselves share links to blog posts etc and other can find and vote on them. The best make it to the homepage!
This way you can reach out to rambhai readers some of whom could become your ardent fans.. who knows.. :)
Cheers,
Ray
