The problem with pain is that it doesn’t belong, and with happiness is that it never lasts long.

Here, I am back with my blog, back to scribbling random thoughts with consistent irregularity. There are two reasons I am blogging again. First, a close friend’s pursuance and second is KANK… urfff… Khabhi alvida na kehna.

YES!!!!

“What do you think about KANK?” It’s amazing how many girls/women have asked me this question ever since the movie released. To the extent that I kept my allergy of Karan Johar films aside and actually went out to get a DVD and watched it at home to see what exactly people are talking about.

And though it’s tempting for me to let out what I think about the movie and SRK’s performance (wonder why he was slapped only twice in the movie) I will do both of us a favour and stick to the subject about which this movie was and all the talk around it.

A pretty girl once told me that we complicate things a lot and I disagreed with her saying that life is complicated. But I think she was right, thou I wasn’t completely wrong. Life is complicated but we complicate it further. Well keeping aside the songs and SRK’s “over-towering performance” KANK is all about, “On what basis should one decide to marry someone and also be sure that he/she will love only the other person all his/her life and be loved in return?” Atleast I think that’s what the director wanted to say and he ended up making yet another Hindi movie.

However, before I get into my fundas and (long lost) ideals, I would like to confess that at this point in life I am in no position to talk about love/relationships, far marriage. But then the whole idea of writing a blog is that you get to talk about things you are in no position to speak about. And in this case, I am not even remotely close. But then what the heck…?!!

A serious relationship, Marriage, in absolute terms is nothing but a commitment. Well, not for all of us, in fact for most of us it is… or will be… an agreement that has to be done at a certain age and time. Many even give it the name of love but then this ain’t about the latter ones.

Ideally speaking (now that’s the word, “Ideally”), commitment shouldn’t be for a marriage but for the person you are getting married to. One has to be conscious about why is he committing to someone. What in that person makes him surer about himself. So he is not committing to something that is outside him and is imposed but to his understanding of what he wants. Few may argue that, that kinda commitment would be momentary. Well, it might be, but then as long as it is true, you are in an honest relationship. (If anyone really cares about it)

But then love is the name they have got for the in-adequacies of human heart and marriage is only a residue.
