Falling Apart

When i look around these days, relationships are falling apart everywhere.... its disturbing...its heart wrenching... its because for me they were as stable and as rooted as an old banyan tree...its branches so deeply buried in the ground that it stood standstill in the biggest storm... its branches shook violently..some of its leaves parted too....its stem trembled for a while..but it still managed to get through... its branches...they never come off completely...

for the relationships that i am talking about, what these guys saw in each other and then fell for it head over heels was those qualities...they were nothing but the branches of the tree for me...their belief in each other shook sometimes but it maintained its presence throughout for them to face it together and then stand tall....

but whats happening these days is that they are not even waiting for the storm to arrive and shake them...they are cutting off those branches themselves..


I think ours is the most impatient generation ever...we want our noodles in two minutes..we want our cloths washed prim and proper in three minutes and so on....who has the time to ponder over? who has the willingness of accepting a flawed being and giving him/her time and space to adjust? who would want to accept their lover as they are? Everyone needs a quick fix to everything including their love life and partner..or else simply replace...without caring two hoots for their significant other whom they leave in lurch...

hearts cry, hearts bleed when you make someone your choice and they treat you as an option...for someone who has seen the best of their days, surrounded by best of their friends..this deterioration can be as paralyzing as a stroke
and even for somebody who has always been taken granted for, its further loss of their dignity and nobody really cares...

"How far can you go for the one you love" exclaimed Nagesh Kukkunoor's film "DOR"

yes, how far can you go to prove your love? will you cease existing altogether... will you leave behind persona that you spent a quarter of your life to build? Will you morph yourself into being someone you are not?
should one test other's love for them by subjecting them to such a personal loss?
should love need to be tested at all, i ask?

and what if one realizes a wee late that the New & Improved partner of their doesnt seem alright after all!!! happy realization but a wee wee late innit??
What about the person who has actually taken trouble of metamorphasizing themselves to an extent that they themselves cant recognize them any longer??

is there any way one's days of youth, liveliness and their time that they spent on their partners can be returned?

if its you who has changed someone like this...well feel ashamed for having the manipulative mind...too bad for you...
if its you who is changed for someone like the above...well feel ashamed for being so open to manipulations....

if pain, disappointments and agony is all you receive in the name of love...no wonder they say you FALL in love...yes you do fall...indeed...either you fall in love or you fall apart...whichever way its the same "FALL"
