Alright - I have to say this now. And I apologize if I sound like I am preaching. I am not. But what to do, I want to be hopeful that what i am about to say, is true.

Love is not an illusion. The idea that it is easy is. It is not easy. It is hard work, very hard work some days. It works for people who keep their hearts and their minds in sync. and alert. There are horrible days. Those days, you work through it by talking, sharing, sometimes by silence. When things are better, you celebrate. You work at it - every day, through the smiles, the angry words, the tears. You start by being a good human being, by being a good friend, by just being patient. You may have different ideas of how to spend an evening, of what movies you want watch but you bond on the big things - the morals that guide life - how socially conscious you are, what you want for your children, how you want to make a difference, what kind of a son/daughter/sister/brother you want to be

Yes, it is no fairy tale and there really is no happily ever after. But if you try hard enough you will have have more happiness than anything else. That is what happily ever after means anyway - that on an average the present and the future holds more smiles than tears, more joy than sorrow.

Im crumpled along wid Khushi... That feeling of helplessness was slowly creeping inside me as I continued reading the last 2 chapters... Im quite bitter right now...
lavanya's resentment along wid the venom spwed by the so called sacrificial lambs , I mean husbands , shook the already weak foundation of Arnavz beliefs on marriage.. Anjali and Shyamz dispute was the last straw n along wid dat the last flickering hope of everything died...
I cant express anything on their issue since I dnt knw , God forbid , hw I wud react if I was in such a predicament.. Its really distressing n I guess it totally depends upon the dynamics of the relationship the couple shares...
Now coming to the stupid excuse of the drunken men , I was really annoyed at the way dey were behaving n talking.. Wot the hell was dat... Seriously!! Are they the only ones carrying the whole weight of their relationship??? Werent dey ashamed demeaning their own wives n such a sacred institution in all their drunken stupor... ??
No wonder I abhore dat alcohol so much... It makes u commit all sorts of sins!!!

Somewhere in the corner of my heart I guess I can comprehend Arnavz predicament... Immediately after he consented for the wedding followed by Khushiz approval , things hv been rushed at a supersonic speed n he found himself utterky list amidst all that. Despite the constant assurances provided to him by his family esp Khushi n his own self pep up talk of abiding by all the chaos coz at the end he n khushi will be united forever , he just faltered miserably...!!!
In the process , not only did he lose his sanity but also , Crushed the belief of a beautiful emotion of the woman he proclaimed, he loves...!!
The calling off of the wedding , now I cant even come to think of the drastic affect it wud hv had on their family!!

P.S: I was so shattered after reading the last updates , I was completely blank n dint know wot n how I shud father my thoughts...

Ive read the prologue of CL n it gave me the required boost to fiinally share my ideas...

New beginnings with renewed vigour!!
