'Do you believe in love at first sight or do I need to pass by again?'
I had seen this scripted on numerous t-shirts and almost always smiled at the implied wit. I never believed in love at first sight. How can a person like someone he/she just met and doesn't know anything about? Nothing about his/her character, nature, preferences. Nothing whatsoever. After all, a good looking face isn't the only requisite for a long lasting relationship. I still don't believe in love at first sight. Its just that yesterday I came to know of an instance of love at first sight that culminated in a relationship.
Our protagonist is a girl. A young girl. On a family visit to a certain place she came across this guy- nothing special about him- just the usual- okay looking, ordinary, down to earth guy. And oh! She was just 13 at that time. The guy probably didn't notice her (he was about 6-7 years older and probably chasing longer legs and shorter skirts! :) PS that's my view). So, it was a two day visit and she had to return home after that. She went home and cried.
Years later...
Not many, to be honest. Probably 4-5 years, a quirk of fate (or destiny?) brought her in such a position that she was able to get in touch with that guy. (He seems to be a loser to be without a girl or maybe a playboy enough to be between girlfriends). Anyway, he was single too. And boy! Our protagonist had grown up! A lovely lass of 17-18, carefree and easy-going, she caught his eye (she probably worked hard for it- catching the eye, I mean ;)). The fire took time to kindle but soon enough the flames were all over them and both were having heartburns (not relieved by i.v. injection of pantoprazole too :( ). Last I heard they were in a relationship.
Well, that sort of culminates the story. Still, I find it wonderful that someone should fall in love at first sight and that the relationship materializes (in due time, of course. After all sabr ka fal meetha hota hai )
There is no purpose behind sharing this story (as is the case with most of my posts). But the story touched my heart. And also the hope that people untouched by love till now may get inspiration from this story. And also the hope that those in love read and appreciate that something special called 'love'.

Actually I was browsing, this blog to analyze the site visit statistics (for some OLAP operations to my students in Data Mining classes...)I came across this:

I read this post.
And guys, its easy to conclude about the credibility of the story above, because why the hell will the author write about a so called "FACT" (u can argue, with the phrase "so called", though..)
and i forgot to mention, the search string in the above comment..haha
