The City That Never Sleeps




posted : December 8, 2007

Seeing the grandparents when they met, the feelings that they conveyed not with words but with the human touch made me almost melt and bring me to realise a lot of things. In this era, be it valentine’s day or anniversaries of couples each year is celebrated with champagne, roses, cards, sweet nothings, chocolates and so on.. poolside dining or candlelight dinner.. a grand, romantic affair.. but if you ask either one of them now they will attest to their love being so pure and true that even 50 years down the road the love they share would be the same.. They would roll out the ever famous line of we would grow old together gazing at each other’s eyes. But the actual test I believe to me would be, caring for the other half even after he is hit by all the possible illness that weakness him physically and also maybe that he turns to state where every of his little need must be taken care of like how you would care for a month old baby. Yeah. At that point he may even lose memory of who you are, but then amidst of all of those still caring to all of his needs with the same vigour, zest that you embarked on the relationship, marriage life.. Its like still looking forward to every day as if it were your first date with him. If you can pull all of them through, then I must say you have succeeded in your love. Hat’s off. I am darn positive the grandparents have done it. I wish to be like them even after 50, 60 years into marriage. Express love in the slightest ways as if it were your 1st year of marriage hood.
