Why love is overstatement and breakup is understatement!

Ever wondered why the world seems to exaggerate romance like it's the best thing that has happened to mankind?
Be it the countless movies glorifying the act of falling or being in love with the number of romance writers who make the singles feel almost miserable.
There are perhaps thousands of songs about love too.
Put the numbers aside and just imagine how many people depend upon this whole idea to earn their livelihood!
Maybe love is literally in the air. It's all around us.
Sometimes to the extent that it's choking us, all.
This beautiful feeling is often accompanied by setbacks, disappointments, challenges, etc. And it's not like 'When the going gets tough, the tough get going.'
People who have experienced heartbreaks or have been cheated on or fall out of love never tend to go all out in public.
Why?
When you were in a relationship, you are proud of your partner, you're happy.
You'd post pictures with them, of them, and let the whole world know what a fantastic feeling it is but when the unfathomable happens you disappear, mostly.
I would never come across a person who'd let the same world know about their breakups.
Why let someone know when you're happy but not let them know when you're sad or falling apart?
Why glorify or hype one side of the story and hide the other?
Why can't a heartbreak ever be thought of as a beautiful experience?
An experience that has enlightened you, helped you grow, rise up again, and not be afraid of experiencing the same feeling again, with a different person.
It is not just loved.
We tend to overstate only a part of the experiences in life and completely overlook the darker side of things.
Why are winners celebrated and losers critiqued? Why are achievers felicitated and failures looked down upon? Why are birthdays happy and funerals sad?
Why is love an overstatement and heartbreak an understatement?

To Baburao Ganpatrao Apte

To Baburao Ganpatrao Apte, There's something about you that left an indelible laughter in my mind ever since the first time I saw you on screen. Wait, do you understand you are no comedian or joker. You are an alcoholic, debt stricken bloke always swaying to and fro between Raju's cunning mind and Shyam's righteous attitude. You affirmed your seniority everywhere but you never made any sense to me or anyone out there. Tenants need to pay their rent. You get it right? On my off days, when I see your unadulterated smile it bewilders me - I mean how can this man live with such conviction and ease. What about his isolated life? His debts? These questions linger on my mind. It's not okay to be unambitious and surrender to your fate but when life doesn't give you 'Star Fisheries', you can always show some content in your dilapidated 'Star Garage'. Your innocent gullibility, incorruptibility and rustic lunacy bought chuckles. Well, you need to learn that Sh...

Tujhe Kitna Chahne Lage Hum...

There comes a phase in our life, where neither can we hold feelings, nor can we let it go. We hopelessly love them without any expectations, without any condition, and even knowing they won't love you back, you still love them holding all the broken pieces of your heart. 'Tujhe Kitna Chahne Lage', is a song that directly holds the feeling we always want to express but we can't. And every time the songs plays randomly from our playlist, we all just feel the song immensely, holding the feelings out, which were graved deep inside our heart. // दिल का दरिया बह ही गया... राहों में यूँ जो तू मिल गया // It's not easy to love someone who we know won't love us back ever, where this song is a struggle between heart and mind, and how difficult is it to hold onto the feelings and even its not easy to let it go and move on. This song best represents the unrequited love, the unsaid emotions, and a broken heart. // वक्त ने है किया हम पे कैसा सितम... तुम भी बेज़ार हो, बर्बाद है...

Dear Kabira

Dear Kabira, I don't know what's perfect, the lyrics or the feelings you say which I fail to express. Sometimes you meet some songs that melt you from the places you are afraid to touch. Re Kabira Maan Jaa (रे कबीरा मान जा) Re Faqeera Maan Jaa (रे फ़कीरा मान जा) Aaja Tujhko Pukaare Teri Parchhaaiyan (आजा तुझको पुकारे तेरी परछाईयाँ) Your heart just can't stop beating for the lines that play with all the untouched memories you have. Loneliness engulfs you, it tears you part by part and this song just makes you feel everything you hide from the world. This song calls you to be back home and realise your home needs you. It questions why do you want to wander for answers when your home is right there in front of you? Your shadow is calling you back. Come home. Tooti Chaarpaai Wohi (टूटी चारपाई वही) Thandi Purvaai Rasta Dekhe, (ठंडी पुरवाई रस्ता देखे) Doodhon Ki Malaai Wohi (दूधों की मलाई वही) Mitti Ki Suraahi Rasta Dekhe (मिट्टी की सुराही रस्ता देखे) This song gives beautiful me...
