Confusion..?

One of my friends asked me to think about this and express my views on it. The topic being “love cannot be true if it fulfills emotional, physical, intellectual or any kind of need”. Well it is a bit confusing for me as well. But I thought of jotting down few thoughts that came to my mind.
Firstly, when one expects something out of a person, one becomes selfish. Selfishness is contradictory to the ideal definition of love.
Secondly, expectations cause disappointment and one keeps depending for one’s needs on others. Love is on the other hand not depending, but letting someone depend on you. Strange.
Also, with these restrictions, true love is rare, as one of the above stated needs (emotional, physical…blah blah ) is the initiator of the feelings in most of the cases. We want someone to be there, to listen and so on. Why will anyone need or love someone if one isn’t getting anything out of it in today’s world? So, according to my small brain of limited thinking capacity, yes the statement made is true, but only for divine love which is no where to be found on earth now. Hence, let’s be happy and content even if we human beings look out for fulfilling our needs through love, as whatever it is, isn’t it mutual? So we are nobody to criticize others. We all are the same.

ORIGAMI

I just happened to see few kids playing with paper boat and planes in an ad. It made me remember those (g)olden school days. People at home used to get puzzled when they saw my notebooks getting thinner and thinner day by day. My daily pencil usage was around 2.5 J. So what did I do with my notebooks? Any guesses? Its obvious. Paper Craft!!
A japanese art which is so common among kids because it is overwhelming to see those sheets of paper, which generally torment the poor souls, suddenly turn into appealing tiny little pieces of art as well as handy toys in those tiffin breaks. Awesome fun.
Frog was my favorite. It used to flutter on my desk when blown into it. Innocent giggles echoed in the class. To move a frog wasn’t any lesser than what it is today to say crack a god damn problem. Worth of an achievement is judged by the happiness it gives. Rains and the boats along with hitting each other with paper planes, naughty acts and the company of our good old notebook. I shall make a bird now! J

Are we dumb or they cleverer?

Switch on the idiot box and the same plethora of emotions is whacked on our faces. The same so called seductive vamps clad in backless blouses and heavy coats of make-up, even our mining pals wouldn’t dare dig. They play those ridiculous mind games which even an average IQ kiddo can thrash in seconds. But nop. The goddess like main character who has to steal away all the limelight will be dead if the directors follow basic human instincts. She will make a hue and cry, attract public attention ask for SMS votes as to what to do and then finally do nothing. Blah. I wonder what the lead actor’s IQ is. Perhaps on a negative scale. OK. So where were we? Yes, those tantrums accompanied by the unbearably loud background score in which another moron keeps screaming her lungs out and the endless treasure of glycerine and tears have captured the minds of today’s audience. It doesn’t end here. The villain , most preferably a female for the guys to drool, keeps planning murders, accidents and executes them with extreme perfection. And Oh boy! There is the dead man alive again. Guess what? Dead man loses his memory (to be gained after hmm say 2 months). In this period of two months, how can I forget to mention the several romantic engagements which would further drag the nonsensical melodrama for another decade. And this isn’t the end of it. The harassment, torture and not to forget the crying continues sometimes till next birth. LOL.

The leaps in time would puzzle an Einstein too. Millions (exaggeration) of kids are born to all the characters. Ages of characters cannot be guessed by mere mortals.

Phew. I could think of only few. Why do they keep making such stuff? Just because we are dumb enough to waste our time watching it? Or that they are cleverer in predicting our instincts? Our intellect is in jeopardy.
