Tagged by Love

Long time back when we were leaving school to move on to the more ‘happening’ world of college, we had these slam books which we got filled from friends and filled for friends. Back then as young hearts setting out of schools in search of life and love, when we answered questions like “what is love” and “who is your ideal partner” and “where do you see yourself 5-10 years from now” we actually thought we knew all these answers.

Since then a lot has passed …

Kajol caught up with her love running faster than train in her 50kgs lahanga;

Hrithik took another birth to dance his life out on one leg to get her love say pyar hai;

Preity Zinta answered all “jaane kyun” questions of Aamir and got him to see his love in an opera;

Saif lured Rani with stupid HUMty - TUMty cartoons;

Salman with his Buffalo hair-cut went mad shouting "Tere Naam";

Shaheed kissed Kareena on mobile phone and then watch silently Jab She Met Saif;

Ranzhod ka Pappu Rathor finally overcame his confusion of whether it is love of not;

and many more....

With every new phase of life, more complexities of life were exposed, more myths were broken, and newer realities of this thing called relationships were stumbled upon!

And with that came a new set of answers to these same old set of questions.

And now when I got tagged by Anupama (which she says should be taken as compliment), I realized that these questions remain, and we are still answering! So here’s one more try, thanks to the love-tag!

RULE #1 People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.

RULE #2 Tag 6 people to do this quiz and those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by and cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.

1. If your lover betrayed you what would your reaction be?
If something leaves you and doesn’t come back, it was never yours. I would believe that my lover must have got a better deal than me, and also that I deserve someone better. I will move on with my life.

Bus, Naukari aur chokri ke peeche kabhi nahi daudna … ek gayi, dusri aati hai. :-)

2. What’s it that you see in an ideal partner?
Someone who understands me more than myself. And by same definition, somebody who thinks I am her ideal partner.

3. What, according to you, is the perfect date?
25^th June 1981 :-)

One which makes the dating couple count the moments they will have to be alone before they are going to meet again.

4. Would you like to have children soon enough? Or would you wait till your mid-thirties for the first child?
One thing at a time!

Let me manage to get married first. (and the well-cultured guy I am, getting laid comes after that)

5. Will you fall in love with your best friend?
There is no harm in falling in love with your best friend. I believe one has to be a friend before being lover. May be it’s in the way one defines friend.

6. Which is more blessed: loving someone or being loved by someone?
Loving someone. It brings out best of me. The person loved unconditionally does not always deserve that love, leave aside being blessed. But the person loving someone unconditionally will always experience divine bliss in doing that, and he/she has to be blessed for that.

7. How long do you intend to wait for someone you love?
If you can’t wait, you are not actually in love.

8. If the person you secretly like is attached, what will you do?
Well, if you really like someone, you would always want that person to be happy, wherever she finds that happiness. I will continue liking her, and will be happy letting her be happy with her attachment.

9. What do you think are the foundation stones of a good relationship?
Mutual trust and respect, belief and space for individuality.

10. What according to you is the most beautiful thing about relationships or marriage?
Knowing that someone loves you beyond all limits and you too do the same…

Knowing that tomorrow you may lose everything that you have, but your partner is still going to be with you.

Knowing that he/she is yours!

11. Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?
Happily married to the most beautiful woman in entire world with the cutest kid in the world. That will make me the happiest person in world.

12. What’s your fear?
Being misunderstood by the person you love.

13. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
Mature, understanding, gifted with beautiful thoughts and possessing ability to express them more beautifully.

14. Would you rather be single and rich or married and poor?
I don’t think these are two mutually independent events. But assuming that they are, I would prefer being married happily and poor. A combo of unhappy marriage and poverty will be a nightmare!

15. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously who will you pick?
First come, first served!

16. Would you give all in a relationship?
Yes. If you are not, you are not actually in a relationship.

17. Would you forgive and forget someone no matter how horrible a thing he has done?
Yes. It would be stupid to fret and lose your peace of mind for someone who didn’t even think once before hurting me. I will forgive the person and forget the event, but keep the lesson with me forever.

18. Do you prefer being single or in a relationship?
I guess the transient period of moving into a relationship would be the most exciting and beautiful.

19. Your all time favourite song. Only ONE. And why?
Jab koi baat bigad jaaye from Jurm. That’s what love is!
