Most
often words ‘romance’, ‘blush’ are associated with girls... women... ladies...
but somehow we men do all crazy stuff and we blush too... we also feel like
making it special for that special someone... But somehow the male complex ego
steps in to remind the first line of this blog... “associated with girls...”
now you don’t want to be termed swaying in that direction... and obviously
manly , rugged outlook fares better with women also... so there you go an
already complex situation just swirled a couple of more loops!
Women
want their men to be rugged and ‘manly’ - defined as “with qualities thought to
befit a man”, now please tell who thought of this... and what are the freaking
qualities that befit me best? If we get too romantic, we get too clingy or we
get too cheesy, ewew!!! And when we be all manly then ‘why are you so
insensitive! You don’t care!’ I really don’t know!
All
I know is that I want to romance the way I want without being judged. Or
frankly I don’t care if I am judged.
I
want to take that plunge! I want to chat endlessly about things that rarely
matter to anyone... I want to hold hands and stare at the sea for hours... I
want to go on the long bike ride with someone talking into my ear about stuff
that may not be life changing but if said while she is clutching my shoulders
or my waist and her warm breath gushing in my ear, will definitely change mine!
I want to write (with the help of Microsoft word dictionary) a rhyming poem and
gift her. I want to put in effort and time and make a gift that means a lot in
value and gift her… I want to lie down on her lap and get my hair caressed… I
want to dance in the rain with her at the Worli sea face… I want to her wet
hair splashing rain drops on my face… I want her hair slip right between my
fingers while she turns and twitters looking deep into my eyes… I want to make
her swing on the swing in the children’s park till her heart skips a beat and
she feels the tears of joy trickle down her cheek while it wakes up the child
in her… I want to surprise her when she least expects it… I want to fly many a
kilometers to her doorstep when she feels lonely even in the middle of the
night or may be a middle of career changing deal somehow I feel that career may
not be worth what I might lose – that few minutes with her when she wanted me
the most! I want to share my smallest failure to my biggest success and my
smallest success and biggest failure with her and feel elated or light at
heart! I want to do stupidest and craziest things to convince her how much I
love her… enact and rehearse those stupid things through the night to perfect
it next day and while doing so always enacting a happy ending, perhaps play in
some rahman melody in the background to perfect the mood… Get lost in her eyes
so much so that I forget to breath and her touch revives my senses… I want to
love her so much so that she skips a beat when she feels my love… just like how
I freeze in time when I know that she loves me too… just like how I forget to
breathe… or blink while looking at you…
I
want yell my heart out but somehow something pulls me back from Romancing ‘love’…
the love of my life…
Love
is a beautiful feeling, its blissful… it’s like the fresh green look just after
a rain… it’s like that beautiful orange sun rise on a winter morning… it’s like
that sip of coffee on the veranda on a rainy Sunday afternoon… it’s like the
rehydrating feeling that drop of cold water brings right from your lips through
your tongue down your food pipe all the way to your stomach making your
subconscious mind spill out ‘aaa ha’… it’s like that little chuckle of a new
born when he sees something he likes…
Its
love... it’s like everything that’s wonderful!
Rise
in love (© Taal movie) cause its divine and its up above!
