knot for me!



Every small step feels like a giant leap. And honestly, I want it to feel like one. We should be careful when our hearts are busy trying to bond irrespective of everything else. You have a past I suppose, and I have many pasts. Forgetting takes time. And we need that time. Let's not be that fast that it takes my breath away. Everything is at stake, you know. Though its hard, but we can give a shot at being as sane as possible. My experiences have made me into a cynic, big time. And though I understand, how you want me to respond, it's difficult for me to shed that defensive garb that I have shrouded myself in for all these years  of seasoned solitude. And I think the same applies to you too. Come on! I don't even know you enough to comment on that. It will look ridiculous if we get serious about something that would look so silly later.


Recently, one couple I loved and respected for long, chose to split. For one minute I gaped in surprise. Then I gained my poise and wondered if that wasn't exactly obvious, something that should happen, only oftener. Marriage being the epitome of all compromises, every time a marriage works out shouldn't I gape in surprise rather than when it breaks?

i always gape wit awe at relationships that work seamlessly, effortlessly.
i am awestruck by romance fresh even after a 20 years of marriage.
i am awestruck by relationships that last in-spite of all the mush and love in excess...they never wear out.

glad i am not the only one...

=D nice post as usual...
marriage on the cards eh??

Nice choice of words!
I believe every relationship that works is an effort. With marriage, u are willing to take that effort cos there's something more at stake.
With a relationship with no knot, there is no impetus enough to try to resolve.
Walking away is always easier (cos u know pain heals with time) and so we part ways.

Thats the decision u need to take....

Try to do a What-if or scenario analysis if u still cannot decide....

Use probability theory and toss a coin instead!!!!
