Don't all of us yearn to know what those two words together mean? Movies, novels, songs, poems, legends, myths, all of these make "True love" seem like some sort of an exotic fruit that all of us yearn for. Regardless of our relationship status, we wonder if its still out there waiting for us. Common sense tells us that one person cannot fulfill all the dreams that we spin. From my limited experience and observations in these 23 years of life here is what i learnt- True love is when you are true to yourself and your partner. Opening all my senses, I see it ...everywhere...
When my grandfather carefully picks up pills for my grandmother every single day, i see it there...
When my father calls up my mother and says he remembered her when he saw a custard apple in hyderabad market, i see it there...
When my aunt saves some buttermilk & guards it from the whole pack of us like a tigress, only for my uncle to taste it... i see it there
When my friend calls up her boyfriend everyday to ask him if he's free to meet, despite the fact that he cheated on her... i see it there...
I see it in myself when just the fleeting image of us having a bright happy time together seems to give new life to every cell in my mind and body :)
Marriage is hard work but so is everything else in life :)
