Aajkal hamara waala pyaar nahi hota na. I think I am getting old. The things that shock me or the incidences which take me by surprise are more frequent now then wat it used to be before. When I was in love, which is like once upon a time. We would be like hooked to each other, day in and day out literally, through some form of communication or the other. Mostly twas phones barring all those times we were not in touch physically. You know wat I mean my morning wud start from an sms from him, to an update about each and every passing second and ditto for each and every hour of the day. The only time we didn’t talk or keep in touch in some form of the other was when he or me was sleeping. And we loved every minute of it. Today if I were to ask a couple they would consider it intrusion. Lack of personal space and all that.
But back in those days, that felt like being in love head over heals. It was as if we couldn’t literally live without each other. My last message of the night would also be his and vice versa. Come to think of it now, its kinda funny. Where did all those conversations come from. How come we dint get bored of each other, which is so common now. How come we never wanted anybody excluding each other, which is so abnormal now. Just the two of us were sufficient to enjoy a coffee for over an hour, yap non stop looking at each other, even though no touch was involved and no vested interests. Nothing matter just nothing. I remember having severe cold, and still enjoying a motorcycle ride, without worrying about the chill or the pollution or somebody watching us.
But now things are different. The kids these days don’t fall in love the way we used to. Most gals are only looking for good looking, handsome rich guys who would shower abundance of wealth on them, and accept them with their hazaar flaws. And guys, wat do I say about them, they do everything barring standing upside down for a few minutes of fun. To top it all you are suppose to give each other space, and not keep a track of his every freaking move. Tabhi to you hear so many cases of guys turning out to be crooks and psychos and cheaters, after a few months of affair. I feel the younger generation doesn’t get emotional so easily as well. And its easier for them to hop in and out of a relationship now. Which in a way is good. Not that anybody wants to sulk about a broken relationship. But then most guys are such commitment phobic these days. In our times even though they faked it to get a gal into bed, but it alteast felt good to hear those three magical words while love making. Which is so not the case now, the needs are clear at both ends now. We doing it for plain physical gratification and please don’t misunderstand. I hope we both are on the same page. And its not gender specific, even gals are open about it these days. Does that mean love doesn’t exist now. Or is it too much to ask for. Whatever said and done I still prefer my old fashioned way of loving each other and pataoing gals.

Times have changed... SEX is under-rated or not that over-rated... kissing is a matter of one good date or a result of how strong your physical needs are over emotional... The need for emotional gratification has reduced over a period of time as past experiences really do erode the thought process !
I also agree with you on what i like more... I have been in a few relationships, and realised that with time, the need for space increased probably because how much we want to tell the other person, and how much trust we have decreased ! and thats not because of that person, but because of the external and independent factors mostly !!!
I miss my longest relationship at times, about 4 years to be precise... things were never the same once it did not work !!!
sigh !!!
Good luck to you and everyone who should have someone to love and be loved by !!!
And I just realised... no one is supposed to know who you are, but you do not allow Anonymous comments on your blog :)
Ironical !
Om: good luck to you too...
u've got a point there.. annonymous commenting enabled
I agree with you that the issue of space is a recent one.
Times have changed from the all-encompassing, exclude-everyone-from-your-beau-and-your-private-world.
Peeping Toms, prying noses, curious questioners, thankfully, are still unwelcome.
Our capacity to tolerate has gone down dramatically though.
And sometimes, too much time is like someone breathing constantly down your neck.
Makes you feel warm for the first few minutes, and then it gets cloyingly choking.
