Kanpur-Gandhinagar-Bangalore-Calcutta

Back in college, when you're "just" a friend - you try pretty hard to impress her.
Suddenly, you would start having same opinions, same hobbies and same likings as her.

If she hates cricket - you'll instantly add it's just a waste of time
If she is animal lover- you would feel like hugging the stray dog on the footpath (and chances are you just might have kicked the same dog while being drunk previous night)
If she loves peace- you press shift delete to all the war documentaries you have.


As for me, I am absolute sucker for romantic movies. So "50 First Dates" is the best movie ever made, "A Walk to Remember" makes me cry and I was heartbroken after Winny and Kevin broke up in the greatest television series ever made- "The Wonder Years" (Watch it if you have not watched it yet).

So here is a snapshot of discussion we usually used to have-

========================================================================
(5 years back)

(Smiling)Hi, One of my friends gave me 50 First Dates.
(I was about to say- Oh My God! That's my fav movie too)
What a sissy movie.
(Now I'm confused).
Do you ever think such a person would really exist out there in world? I kept laughing at it the whole time.
(Making a disgusted face) Yeah! I don't know what was that person thinking while making that movie. He still had not come out of his dream world.
Absolutely. I don't understand love at all. What a stupid concept!
(And here I am falling flat in love with you) Yeah. Totally over-rated. People are so dumb. They actually feel that they can stay with one person for life time(even I do..what's the harm in that :banghead: )
I'm glad you think the same way. My friend who gave me was a sucker. He told me my husband will suffer for life. And I replied back to him - who is going to marry in first place?
(Stumped) You're not going to marry? Ever?
Yeah. You see I'm not the romantic kinds. I can't fall in love. I'm sure about it.
(Now I'm about to cry. What kind of girl are you? And I was thinking of what dress she'll wear in our marriage) Hehe. Me too. Who believes in that concept except for maybe Karan Johar?(and me.)
Now look at A Walk to Remember.
(No Please No! Why are you just picking MY movies) Why? What's the harm? I feel that there might be someone who might love her girlfriend so much that she might even marry her on her deathbed.
Hehe. Nice Joke. I really appreciate your sense of humor.
(Kicking myself). Hehe. I'm glad you didn't fall for that. I would say in real life that guy would just have got busy in finding himself another date.
Yes. I second. There is no guy who would do this
(Come on! I would) Yeah right.
Let me leave. I'll meet you later.

=====================================================================
(Today)

You're really bad. You made me like the romantic movies.
Why? What's the harm?
What kind of guy will propose a girl 50 times?
Oh no. Not again.
You're an exception. But majority won't.
I'm glad that atleast you said that.
I won't forgive you for making me like the romantic movies. I still feel they are sissy.
Yeah. I'm glad I did that.
And I won't forgive you for making me want to marry. I never ever wanted to marry. And you came and changed that. I hate you for that.
Is that a compliment?
==============================================================================

PS- The scene at the top is my favorite scene of all times(from Love Actually).I wished her Valentine day(4 years back) in the same way and it did wonders.

PPS- and that's why readers find ALL my posts to be hopelessly romantic.
