sigh...
Well I guess many people will either derive a satisfactory smirk from the knowledge that unlike them I am going to spend the evening of valentine's day alone at home watching T.V. and eating (which might appear to be the only interesting part) or solace that like them I too lack a valentine. Well I have always been a good sport and everyone is welcome to their share of smirk or solace from my fate. Yes I am still at the shore looking at the huge sea, feeling the breeze and the sun on my face both tempted and scared by the prospect of embarking on a journey which may end in my finding the Elysium or lying stone like and unfeeling at the bottom with my capsized boat of dreams beside me. To do myself justice may be the decision would not have been this hard if there had been a boat of dreams or, dropping the metaphor, a guy around. However as there isn't any immediate need (read as opportunity) coming my way I might as well think it through.
Smart, caring, loving, sensible, easy to be with and a friend above all who knows and understands me (and male, definitely male)...that's it, are these really hard specifications to be found in one person? I do not think so and well even if they are I am ready to wait afterall I am a dreamer and a believer, making me see sense is as good as hammering nails upside down. Besides one thing I know about myself for sure that though I am fickle minded and completely clueless when it comes to what I want, I will recognise it whatever the difference may be between reality and dreams.
Until then I am content with my fantasies and hopes, and ready to wait with candles, balloons and a heart in front of a vacant seat for years to come. Plus there is chocolate which makes everything better.

@ Babbi- I really hope it doesn't sound plagiarised from W.W. well you for one know I am a lot of other weirder things too apart from a mere dreamer and believer, nothing new.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that u are still single i guess proves a point that guys are blind... or rather dumb...
ReplyDeleteor anyways i feel the ones who remain the single longest find THE guy fastest...
and what more can be better than eating???
@ shreya - i second ....
ReplyDeleteapart from the ones who would smirk or offer solace, there are also some others who cant help but feel helpless at there situations.
ReplyDeleteso, you can be happy about being in a better state than they are in...
and, while you are waiting for someone means there's someone waiting for you too(that's being hopeful)because there's, obviously, someone really special for you :)
Hi. I got here through Babbi's blog. I liked your style of writing. I couldn't help but laugh at "...a boat of dreams or, dropping the metaphor, a guy around." Keep it up!
ReplyDeletePS: This laughing was purely based on the language and the writing style, not reacting to your situation. Compared to you folks, I am an old man. I am not smirking or solace-ing :-)
Vasu - that Hari is one of my closest cousins..
ReplyDelete@Hari- If the situation appears sad then I clarify- that definitely wasn't my intention.
ReplyDeleteRather the situation is, unexpectedly enough, an 'omen'(and maybe caustive factor) of brighter prospects. Or so I belive.So you are welcome to all the laughs you can squeeze out of it.
well written, hang in there my friend! one day or another everybody is bound to find the correct match.I believe in ...the correct person at the correct time at the correct place awaits you.
ReplyDeletetill then, enjoy this freedom of being single....
