woh samundar ho jati hai...

people say one should always preserve oneself in any life situation. it's a noble thought. but i have my doubts and metaphors. here's my first one.

loving someone with adequate self preservation and without really wholeheartedly plunging is like walking in the rain with windcheaters and raincoats on. the happiness you get out of both situations is of having protected yourself against a potential possible hurt or cold or fever. not of getting drenched, soaked and absorbed. i know it is stupid romantic, but as drishtidyumna dhumketu barishkar says in thoda sa rumani ho jaye,

do ghato ke beech ek nadi hai jo samundar se milti hai,
ghat ghat rehte hain,
wo samundar ho jati hai...
