Love is in the air.........

Recently, in this horrid heat of Ahmedabad something really

surprising has happened. the love bug has bitten our group, that

is to say loads of couples can be heard playing "i can feel it in my

toes....Love is in the air" cheesy chick songs. Ok some of them were

already infected but now besides yours truly,everyone else is in an

actively loving "????" and committed relationship. The result of this

is I find myself quite often being the third wheel in the vehicle of

relationship which my friends our trying to drive and i watch on with a

bemused look.

Now now my dear readers you don't have to feel sorry for the

protagonist of this blog, because what this means is that he has

a balcony view of 5 absolutely different kind of people each

struggling with this esoteric concept of love and commitment.

I can obviously stoop down and tell these love besotted individuals

the true meaning of these concepts and the solutions of their

problems. But as you might know about me I am not the interfering

kind and besides, its just too much fun to watch. Here is a short

description of the secondary characters in the story of my life and

the unique problems they all facing. The real names have been

hidden for obvious reasons:

Ms. My Bf is the fairest of them all:

Here is a classic problem of the reacher and the settler or

at least the illusion of it. For those who know there is this

school of thought that each relationship has a reacher who

has got a better dealer and a settler a person who has settled

for the reacher when he could have done much better.

I am not saying the lady in question is a reacher, i am just

implying that she merely thinks she is one. And there in lies the crux

of the problem. All her actions are expressive similar to a smitten

13 year old with a pinch of insecurity. But this lady has been

known to be violent and packs quite a punch so i will stop this

analysis here only.

Mr. I am bothered with all the girls flirting with me:

The gentleman dating the above lady. Here the classic placebo

effect comes into play, because of his GF treating him like some

kind of demi god, he has slowly but surely started believing it

too. The consequence is that each and every girl in the campus

and maybe even in the universe is out to woo him or so he

believes.But the funny thing is as long as he believes it and also

his GF believes it they don't really have a problem. But funny

how people always used to say truth should be the cornerstone

of any relationship :) .

Ms. I am the center of the world:

The new entrant in our group. I would not be too mean

about her (or should I say too honest). Firstly because i don't

know her that well and secondly her dad's a big shot. Anyways

her bf, who I am going to dissect next is a far more interesting

specimen. But suffice to say the pseudo name that i have given

her is I think her major problem along with a healthy dose

of insecurity. And she also suffers highly from Me v/s Them (friends)

syndrome.

Mr. I think I am a stud:

This guy (would not really call him gentleman) is the most interesting case

by far. Once a free bird, soaring the skies proudly for his preys he is now

chained whipped and most importantly on the other side of the line. In

short he has gone from Barney to Marshall almost overnight. He is now

suffering from what i call PastPresent syndrome, which as the name

suggests is trying to be what you were in past when your present is

change somewhat. The author acknowledges the fact that a lot of

problems emanate because of his presence, but when you touch

somebody's life so deeply as I do its often hard for the touched

soul to break free.

Ms. Not quite five feet:

Last but definitely not the least is the little child of our group. The author

claims to have certain biases towards this individual and hence will be less

meaner in spite of the fact that she is the most troubled soul of all. Her

problem is "My BF can do no wrong" syndrome. People infected from this

disease will try and justify every single aspect however ridiculous it might

be. They also compromise on everything just too cling to their mythical

concept of what they speak in hushed tone of "The Relationship".

Stubborn like any child this lady when given a logical reasoning

regarding the ludicrousness of her action will always play the "You

don't understand, long distance is hard" card at your face.

That's all for now, will keep you posted on what happens next. So long.

PS1: Those who didn't understand our not supposed to understand.

PS2: This post i must surely have ruffled some feathers, please don't

take all this at heart. I was a lot more meaner because i wrote this at 6am

in the morning after tossing and turning the entire night because of lack of sleep.
