Because all is fair in love

Today , owing to lack of any fruitful work, I decided to go through a news app during my off period ,ignoring one my colleague’s whom I spend most of the time with, unwavering dedication to enlighten the little ones about the past and being clearly ignored by another one for she found preparing notes more interesting than my constant ranting


Honestly I don’t like reading news as all you get to read in a news app is how this invisible yet mighty being is wreaking havoc on the entire mankind , probably laughing at us ,at our futile power we so brag about, or news on events leading to the obvious question- which flower should adorn the state ?


If you can patiently scroll down a little further ,you will be informed amidst all the chaos and hardship what jahnvi kapoor wears during workout or how Sara Ali Khan plays with her little brother


Ofcourse the last one is immensely important to me because I really want to know how to play with the little ones. Everytime I make my mind to atleast try to make my nephew who is only 3 years old , my playmate , I end up following his instructions and answering his incessant questions
Yes, he possesses that kind of leadership quality . Although I feel completely confused about my own state or role in the game We pretend to play, I feel absolutely certain about his potential to become a minister someday.

Anyway while scrolling through all the disheartening or disappointing news ,I came across quite an interesting one today.
A Mumbai based boy had tweeted asking the Mumbai police what sticker he must use on his car to avoid being halted on his divine journey to meet his girlfriend. Mumbai police had replied in a very apologetic tone that they had unfortunately not included romantic dates into the category of emergencies and also advised him to maintain social distance because “distance (apparently) makes heart grow fonder “


Although it did give me a brief bout of laughter , I couldnot resist wondering ….
Isn’t the final message flawed? Haven’t we been shown in almost all the bollywood romances ( except veer zaara ofcourse where sharukh khan chose to maintain social, physical and geographical distance from his lover for the rest of his life for a reason I could not really comprehend? ) that the lovers must go to any extent to do justice to their love?
Haven’t we been taught that meeting lovers secretly is the best feeling ever ?


Hailing from the land of Bollywood and growing up watching all the impossible fights the heroes engage themselves in, to be with his love interest? Isn’t it sacrilegious to choose health or safety over love?


Now ofcourse as a teacher I should not take bollywood seriously as it is my duty to tell my kids not to watch television which they don’t anyway, thanx to torrents and netflix .


But isn’t the same lesson taught outside bollywood as well ? the same value inculcated in everyone …
That love be it (religious or romantic ) should make you transcend every possible boundary,ignore every possible logic and dodge every rational action .Look around and see love overpowers all
