Because I fell in love 'AGAIN' ♥


The fact that I have been calling myself a ‘hopeless romantic’ since three years doesn’t change the other fact that I keep falling in love every now and then.  I do not remember who my first love was but I guess it started with Shah Rukh’s romantic movies.

Yes, I am a complete bollywood freak. Since childhood I dreamed of having a super dramatic + romantic love story, like most of the girls do. But then my mom always kept reminding me that life on the idiot box/ big screen is not even near to the real life and that is why people love watching them. It’s an escape from reality. I took my time to realize this.

Dr. Armaan Mallick, the small screen heartthrob of most of the girls, ruled in my dreams for around three years. My parents almost made him their son-in-law seeing my madness. There are many more characters I fall in love with. And even in this respect I couldn’t leave the books behind. Most of the male protagonists of Nicholas Sparks books make you wish to be their female counterpart – Landon Carter, Dawson Cole, Logan Thiboult to name a few. In the beginning of my college days, one of my professors said, “Once a girl reads Pride and Prejudice, she would refuse to forget Mr. Darcy.” I agree after reading the novel twice. Talking of love, Severus Snape is a name that my mind cannot skip. ‘ALWAYS’, a simple six letter word tells you the best story ever.

After falling in love so many times here I am saying to myself, “I fell in love AGAIN.” And this time it’s Harry Burns from the movie When Harry Met Sally. I can’t just get over this person, he is driving me crazy. It’s in me that I take time to get over the book I read or the movie I saw. I keep thinking about him. He seems like a normal person to me and not one of the Bollywood personas who seems unattainable.

 I love it when he speaks without any pause, I love his theories about women which by the way are all true

and I love it when he offends Sally (women in general) but still makes it impossible to hate him. He is just how normal people are, happy when they’re supposed to be happy and sad when it’s supposed to be that way. I love it when he says “Men and women can’t be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.” And my heart skips a beat during his last speech. 

"I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after i spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."

I have no idea who the love of my life is, I vaguely have the idea of what love is. Though I keep cribbing about not having a boyfriend on the outside, on the inner side I do not just want a boy friend but the love of my life who wouldn't let me fall but help me rise in love.


And sometimes there are certain characters in fiction that you can't stop falling in love with.

People may say it's a mere admiration but love sounds more dramatic and effective. ♥
