Vagaries of Love :)

Is it possible for someone to fall in love without actually having seen the other person, or even spoken to the person? A few days ago, I would have said no, until I found myself in a situation where every instance of my daily life involved wondering about that elusive girl, that faceless angel who haunts my dreams and realities, the girl who is unlike any other I have known, maybe because I don’t know her and yet I can’t help but feel that I’ve known her all my life. :)

Let me be the first to confess that I’m a workaholic for five days in a week with little or no social life on these days. Weekends for me are meant to unwind, to let myself go berserk and loosen the hold I have put on myself during the week. Lately, all I’ve been doing on weekends is sitting in front of an open Gtalk window, waiting for that special girl to come online. I know, I’m a little mad at times.

Women have this special power over men – I’ve experienced this a lot many times before – and that is the power to make men their slaves. I don’t know if I’m the only guy who’s ever experienced this strange, but beautiful phenomenon, but I found myself being drawn into a web of words, emotions and feelings while saying a simple “Hi” or a “Hello” with this girl. Ah, well… Wherever you are, I hope you remember chatting online with this hopeless romantic. :)

I am forced to eat my words against Cupid. That senseless idiot has struck me again! I wonder where he was hiding. I had been very careful to avoid getting caught in his line of fire and I almost thought that I was immune to his arrows. But alas, he has proved to be a bit more powerful than me. :)

Ms. Charming Girl, if you’re reading this, please don’t be alarmed. I am not a maniac and I am not a stalker, and I will not dwell on your unattainability. I can accept the fact that the best things in life are the hardest to come by and most of them are already taken. I was perhaps a bit slow to arrive at the scene. This post is just a small dedication to you and your charming wit – I love the way your alphabets and words make perfect sense to me… ;)

This is perhaps the next best thing to writing a love note in a piece of parchment and rolling it up in an airtight bottle, corking the top and throwing it in the sea, because at least this way, you can have a chance to know what I feel like. Thanks for giving me your phone number when I asked you for it in my dream. Your voice sounded very sweet indeed! :)

    Nikhil, inspite of all that i told yu…all and every single thing that i told you…how can yu still say yu’re struck again?? That too by Cupid…

    @Scorpria
    I know you murdered that Cupid creature… But still, somehow… I can’t help but feel something… Hmmm…

    Meandered in while surfing the web. Loved the way you ended the post ” Thanks for giving me your phone number when I asked you for it in my dream.” . It’s so sweet. Your post reminded me of

    Kissi shayar ka khwaab ho tum
    Khud ko bhool jaao mai, woh nasha ho tum
    Ab hosh na aaye to behtar hoga
    Sapna hi sahi, mera apna ho tum

  12. June 22, 2008 at 1:58 pm | #12

    Really, such a sweet sweet post! You are a romantic guy Nikhil! And yeah, that photo is so apt! I love it!

  13. June 22, 2008 at 4:01 pm | #13

    @RJ/Niks

    “bigger” coz ’smaller’ things are easier tu ‘take’ ;)

  14. June 22, 2008 at 4:03 pm | #14

    which means, whoever is left’;; be beeeeg :D

    ok ok…wrong vocabulary, i admit :) i meant “more and better” !

  15. June 22, 2008 at 4:51 pm | #15

    be warned ppl,the posts which follow are going to make u feel that he requires a Bhajji slap!

    @Reema
    Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

    @Gulmohar
    Welcome to MirrorCracked! That’s a very nice poem! :)

    @Nita
    Thanks so much! :)

    @Scrorpria
    hahaha!!! Don’t stumble.. It’s ok… I get the idea… :D

    @Vishesh
    hahaha!!! You really think so? :P

  17. June 23, 2008 at 2:45 am | #17

    A person I know blamed the cupid, called him names, cursed him, said he will murder the cupid, etc etc on his blog post.
    I guess u know him too.
    :)
    I knew it !.
    so get going, make ur next move and update the progress in ur blog. :D

  18. June 23, 2008 at 5:06 am | #18

    @Niks
    Hey dude excuse me for this ‘doosra’

    What makes you think this is a girl?
    Could be a guy trying to have some fun just for kicks.. or might be you know what.. :D :D

    Anyways, nice composition..

    @RJ
    awesome thought on the ‘bigger’ one ;) :D

  19. June 23, 2008 at 5:20 am | #19

    Nikhil: On that Message in A Bottle wish, I am instantly reminded of the-man-with-the-finest-bones-in-pop aka Sting:

    Walked out this morning
    Don’t believe what I saw
    A hundred billion bottles
    Washed up on the shore
    Seems I’m not alone at being alone
    A hundred billion castaways
    Looking for a home

    Sorry, I should not be so unkind but he himself dispenses some wisdom before that stanza:

    A year has passed since I wrote my note
    But I should have known this right from the start
    Only hope can keep me together
    Love can mend your life
    But love can break your heart

    Good luck with finding the real life number of the girl :-)

  20. June 23, 2008 at 5:53 am | #20

    Nikhil: For the ‘cheese’ factor, here is a video that was very popular at one time:

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=eZN0u5lde0g

    PS: I said ‘video’ was very popular and I mean with girls ;-)

  21. June 23, 2008 at 5:53 am | #21

    i hate love!!! love is idealism!!!

  22. Sakhi
    June 23, 2008 at 6:48 am | #22

    This has happened to me also.. though I will not put the “love” word there, but yes, i used to just log on to chech if “he” is there (San, i knew, its he! :P )! some how, liked chatting with him… don’t know what do you call this.. Surely not love! can’t love somebody just by alphabets ( as u put it Niks!).

    Why can’t we accept certain things without tags! Why every emotion has to be given a name?

  23. motormouthed
    June 23, 2008 at 8:44 am | #23

    nik…cupid aint dead..i thnk scorpia faild to blast his ass off…ehh..cos ths guys has been shootin me too…everyday with the same rusty arrow hes been usin fr th past ages…bt th fnny prt is dat it always has same name tag attached…scorpria’s…. :P

  24. June 23, 2008 at 9:34 am | #24

    @Xylene
    hahaha!! yeah, sure.. I’ll keep all of you updated! :D

    @Sandeep
    Holy shit!! I didn’t realize that!! Damn!!!
    If that’s true, I can never forgive myself! :D

    @Shefaly
    Thanks so much for that lyrics! Makes perfect sense in this case! And that video!! That’s such an old song, isn’t it? I remember watching it on MTV a long long time ago! hehe… yeah, it was very popular… and again, makes sense in this situation! :D

  25. June 23, 2008 at 9:36 am | #25

    @Sakhi
    Well, maybe I’m jumping the gun, maybe i’m not.. i agree that it’s not right to tag everything with an emotion, but then its not completely wrong either.. Somehow, calling this an infatuation doesn’t seem right! :D

    @Chucks
    I know! I know! Calm down before you hurt yourself! :D

    @motormouthed
    Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…..
    So are you my competition!? :D :D
    Bring it on!! hehehe…

  26. June 23, 2008 at 12:00 pm | #26

    Great nikhil………..atlast you’re in love………….
    May be it’s a coincidence but even i’m having a similar experience…………………but we’re doing this for one year and now it’s like i can’t stay without her…………….
    even i’m planning to go to her place just express my feelings to her……………
    It’s really goin to be great experience when i’m goin to see her………….
    Hope u guys wish me all the best………

  27. June 23, 2008 at 12:39 pm | #27

    Hehee.. did u chat again with here? Asked her whether she saw this post…? :P

    BTW what you said was true. Women have some kind of power over men. No wonder I feel a bit scared and my heart starts beating faster when I chat with the girl whom i like… Phew! They are delicate to handle…

  28. megcloud9
    June 23, 2008 at 1:20 pm | #28

    whoa ! do we learn from our mistakes in love ?? i dont think so :D anyways does she know bout ur blog ? i think she does ! :)

  29. June 23, 2008 at 1:45 pm | #29

    infatuation! woa…. another tag! :D

    let the feeling be… don’t give it a name, enjoy while it lasts ( i m sure u are going to come over it! :P )

  30. June 23, 2008 at 1:46 pm | #30

    :P

  31. June 23, 2008 at 2:49 pm | #31

    ya ya ,ppl might agree if u put or new business plan here :)

  32. June 23, 2008 at 3:45 pm | #32

    @Aravind
    I’m not planning to “go to her place” dude… hehehe… For the moment, its only online… :D
    But i hope it works out for u.. all the best! :)

    @Joel
    hehehehe.. delicate isn’t the word! Dangerous! “Handle With Care!”
    “Radioactive!” “Biohazard!” :D

    @Meghana
    Well, not everyone learns from mistakes… Isn’t this the precise reason why mankind is still evolving? :D

    @Sakhi
    Call it a tag, call it a fancy word.. it feels good.. :D

    @Vishesh
    Are u sure we should make our plans public? what if someone steals it? :D

  33. June 23, 2008 at 5:09 pm | #33

    Hmmm…there we go again. Well, yes, I think its possible. So, what happened finally?? :D

  34. June 23, 2008 at 5:38 pm | #34

    @ Nikhil

    Yes that is an old song but not as old as this one :-P

  35. June 24, 2008 at 1:46 am | #35

    @Amit
    Well, it’s still restricted to an online romance (er.. infatuation?) right now… Will keep you you updated on how things progress! :P

    @Shefaly
    Rod Stewart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

  36. Sakhi
    June 24, 2008 at 2:52 am | #36

    So feel good! that’s what matters the most! and don’t , for God’s sake, get hurt! :)

    Still on chat with her? :P

  37. June 24, 2008 at 3:26 am | #37

    @Sakhi
    Yeah, i know… There’s no question of getting hurt… I am quite a realist in such matters… And yes, I’m still on chat with her… :D

  38. June 24, 2008 at 3:55 am | #38

    @Nikhil: Hahahaa… “Girls are injurious to health..” :P

  39. June 24, 2008 at 5:09 am | #39

    U r in love with thin air! and yet its the thin air which is suffocating you with its love potion. no doubt, its cupid-magic :D . u guys are wondering abt how it came back to life? simple… it may be cupid’s parents/siblings/lover(s)/victim(s) avenging their loss, in disguise ;)

    however, nice post man. Some GIRL is biasing Nik now! :D

  40. June 24, 2008 at 9:36 am | #40

    Women have this special power over men – I’ve experienced this a lot many times before – and that is the power to make men their slaves.

    I wish if it were so easy. :sigh:

    But glad to know that cupid strikes you, how did ya find that magical girl? Keep us posted on your progress. :)

    “Is it possible for someone to fall in love without actually having seen the other person, or even spoken to the person?”

  48. Anu

  49. June 26, 2008 at 6:28 am | #49

    @Meghana

    @ S
    Yeah, that’s an amazing feeling! :)

    @Anu
    hehehe… keep your guesses to yourself… I first fell in love with her blog, and then her… :)

    June 26, 2008 at 9:03 pm | #52

    52nd comment! and I am sooooo lagging behind… and even “SHE” read this by now… ahh! :(

    i guess i just need to be more ahead of time…

    Well, I atleast hope SHE is convinced about this little mischief played on u by stupid cupid!! and that something good comes out of that understanding…

    Last two lines, sweet and hopeful… maybe SHE gave u her number after reading that…

    generally guys tend to be inexpressive, i hope u express as well in person as u do thru ur writing… otherwise, Ms. Charming Girl… please be convinced and content by the ‘alphabets’…

    Cheers!!

  53. June 27, 2008 at 3:16 am | #53

    @Arvind
    lol.. you should have figured it out by now who she is! :D

    @seaofmemories
