Is love really blind?

As usual I was loitering around the corridor in the evening and I heard a sob. When I looked around I saw her in the dark corner on the corridor, weeping. I have always seen her cheerful and hence was shocked to see her crying. I went near her to pacify her. Slowly she started talking to me, about the reason for her grief, about her loveless life, a long story of dating and marriage, and post-married days. She is married; an 8 year old love story and a marriage that almost separated her family from her, due to her incorrect (according to her parents) decision.

After hearing it I felt that both of them, she and the guy, were far-flung from reality, during the time of dating. Both of them could see only the best part of the other person. Literally blind love!

The guy is from a lower-middle class family that has not saved much in life. She is from a rich affluent family and the guy’s parents, who had their eyes on her wealth, showed them a green signal. But her parents were still not ready to agree for the match as the guy didn’t even have a good job. After a constant battle with her dear ones, she managed to convince her parents and half heartedly they agreed. As she had a job she was confident that she could manage their life until he gets one.

But problems started off soon when she realized the real intentions of her in-laws. Even her husband turned against her when she refused to hand over her jewellery to her in-laws, to buy a property. The drift grew wide day by day, with the active contribution of the cooked-up stories from her in-laws, separating them, and finally making the guy take up a job in another country. The love that was there had nearly vanished within a year!

Hey! Don’t you feel that this saas-bahu-pati clash is going on in the usual track? Yes, it is, because the next episode has a typical suspect-maniac husband who always yells at his wife, when she is spotted even with her brother.

And now, their 8 years long love story is about to reach the climax soon, with a suit in the family court; which is going to happen soon.

THEY SAY THEY LOVED EACH OTHER AND WANTED TO LIVE A BLISSFUL LIFE! THEN WHERE DID THEY GO WRONG?

I am scared of liars

I am afraid of people who tell lies. Why do they do it when they are sure that the truth is going to come out eventually? Liars always disturb me to the core, especially when I hear all the elucidation that they use to excuse themselves. But a lie is simply a lie, no matter whatever the justifications are.

I won’t say that I am a Miss: Perfect Angel as I too have lied for silly things and have faced the consequences that rose about a ten times higher than my lie. But I have never told lies to hurt or mislead someone.

Do you what to know the reason for the scare? It’s nothing but the bad experiences that I had, the instances where I have been deceived and hurt by the lies that I have heard.

On an average I bump into about 10-15 lies a day, a few silly and a few serious ones.

I have always tried to know a person well, to let my head dominate my heart, before entering in to a friendship. But mistakes have happened many times. Actually it’s very hard to accept that you are getting cheated, that a janitor has entered close to your heart, with a faked identity.

Are we supposed to forgive such people? I really don’t know. But once I lose the trust towards a person that’s the end of everything, whoever it is. But lies and deceits have become the part and parcel of life these days that it is very difficult to know the intention of a person approaching me. Why can’t they be honest?

People always find fault in me saying that I am too much frank and lets the other person know the real me. But I always remain the same and if the real me doesn’t please a person I just walk away as I won’t be able to continue that friendship anymore. But as I said before a few mistakes do have occurred in life where I was mislead by the faked identity of certain people.

But believe me, ultimately you get only what you give others. Try to be honest and get it back in plenty.
