The sum of one and one if they are the right ones can be infinity! ! ! And please for Valentine's sake, do not doubt my mathematics, as my equation refers to the "right" pair of people who fall in love to get that ''infinity in life''.
When cupid's arrow strikes one with love, it seems to care little about 'daddy's delicate darling daughter's dream-boy' or the 'princess that lives in the heart of mama's boy'. Well, she may not be really doused in dew and he just might not be Adonis reincarnated; but sorry buddy, that's what you'll have to settle for!
One often feels that his/her soul-mate should be one with whom he/she could share unspoken conversations with; who would laugh at every joke of his/hers without needing it explained and who would know when he/she was crying without needing him/her to shed tears. Any person having such thoughts, cloned perspectives and consonant feelings could well qualify to be one's other and probably even better half. Not quite surprisingly, one ends up being in love with the person who probably has just the "human factor" in common with him/her, in most cases. Give it a little thought and scroll down your memory to discover the truth in my statement. You will probably be able to find very few couples who have found their dreams personified.
It all starts when one discovers how little he/she knows about him/herself; (ever heard of "vicarious self-discovery"?). Firstly, he realizes that girls are not that stupid after all and she retracts ''all'' the names she has used for the male community, "exceptions" being the keyword behind all of this, of course. His hour-long ablutions drive the patient papa up the walls and her diurnal ritual of hurriedly brushing her hair before the mirror expands to one of self-admiration. Wonder why she never realized how beautiful she is earlier; maybe it would have saved her from all the facials! Not forgetting to mention that the pimple on his cheek, which had earlier robbed him of sleep now, seems quite "cute".
He discovers that poetry isn't that boring after all and ballads are better than jazz. He definitely learns that cooking is not just about recipe books and finally succeeds in his endeavour to bake a cake for ''a special friend''. She suddenly develops an obsession for chess and her forte for bookkeeping is unveiled. The two hour long telephone conversations become long enough for daddies to freak over the telephone bills and the frequency of coffee-dates increases, leaving one broke each month irrespective of all the hikes in the allowance.
He gives up smoking due to her asthma attacks and she empties her wardrobe of her mini-skirts. Chivalry becomes his middle name and Mr. Romeo becomes the role model for all of the male fraternity.
All this metamorphosis brings in a lot of gossip in the air and even before they can be honest to themselves about the liaison, the world brands it "en amour". Wonder how many more times she will add his surname to hers and change her accent to see how it sounds and how many more bets he will lose trying to finally propose to her! Do not worry, fellow men! He's not mama's little boy any longer and finally does gather a few orchids, chocolates, a night-long rehearsed speech and loads of courage to express the intensity of passion in his heart. And not only does she reciprocate that with a warm hug, but it also leads to another tug of war about who loves the other more!
In case you are waiting for the sequel to the above mentioned, and think that the love story has just about begun, let me assure you that love between them actually started long time back and love stories are more about "falling in love" than "being in love" as the latter is just
....
...........INFINITY!!!
