Romantics call this a love story, the Cynics call it a tragedy.

I was 10 years old and I really liked Neev/Prachi from a show called Kayamath. Then, when I was 12, I liked Mayank/Nupur of Miley Jab Hum Tum. And at both times, by like, I am trying to imply that I felt fervently and ardently obsessed. But in matters such as this, I got out of Neverland quick. So, I stopped by not to add my two cents to the main matter of your post but to answer your question. I am a cynic and I don't really mind being one. Sometimes, this inability to fully acknowledge one's inert romantic self becomes an obstacle between them and their imagination. I, for one, think life will be stupid without it. But then, I don't have the usual thoughts of romance. I have the ones that are extracted out of pain and suffering and fear and all the things I can see for myself. The more cynical I get, the more I believe in love because by a lot of factors like ego, separation, untold feelings etc, love becomes an excruciating business, one that happens to most people who feel and feel too much.

Speaking of the show, I don't think Raman and Ishita love each other yet. Ishita and Raman have both had respective romantic failures and Raman seems like the one who'd take longer to let the past go, embrace the new. They are connected by a sense of responsibility towards their daughter and are bound by marital duties. If the story stays as good as it is now, I'd be convinced for their love at the end of the next six months. I agree with you, the romance need not be rushed. But then again, I wouldn't mind a little less of the high-voltage drama which gets borderline lame every now and then.

This is one post that made me want to respond immediately. Good stuff, yeah?

PS I dun get why people have to sever all ties with people and entertainment during exams either. It's always good to find people who dun fall prey to the convention.

Totally loved your honesty. Though you mentioned of being a Cynic, I felt that your reasons justified them. However, I believe that no matter how we choose to view it in the end, it does not change the fact that 'LOVE', involves a great deal of our life and the path we've chosen to follow, regardless of being a Romantic or a Cynic.

& yes like you said, it's pretty evident that Raman will take longer in letting go of the past and moving forward towards a better future. However, that's perfectly normal I suppose. Ishita's was a love failure whereas Raman's was a love betrayal, the wound inflicted upon his heart is most certainly not going to heal overnight. Though it's going to take a very long time to heal; the healing process I suppose is going to make him realize that, LIFE isn't easy at all but we just have to try and make the best of it.
