500 Days of Summer !!

500 days of summer !!

No it has nothing to do with summer season. It is a Hollywood movie (a love story) which revolves around a gal known as SUMMER and how she influences a person,s life in 500 days. The lead actor (dont remember the name ..lets call him X) and lead actress (summer) are supposedly in love and then one day suddenly the gal (summer) marries someone else voluntarily.

A scene towards the last touched me a lot. After her marriage the gal comes to meet Mr. X, and X wants to know why she married someone else. She replied that with Mr. X she never felt the need to settle down and when she met this another guy (Mr. Y), she felt she had to settle down. And apparently she could not give any logical reason for not settling with Mr. X besides her feeling. However she did confess that she still loved Mr. X and had a fabulous time with him . I kind off loved and hated the girl at the same time. I loved her for the candid confession of the exact feelings. However i guess that is the precise reason i hated her !!

But yes i think that scene really shook me. Why are we so concerned in defining the relationship ? Why we constantly give input based on where we can take this relationship ? Why dont we focus on the present and use it to the fullest with our loved one ? Is it so important to tag every relationship? I mean if i look at my relation also, all i have been doing is trying to define the future prospect of the relationship that too to no vain. Why the hell didnt i spend those beautiful moments i could have spent with her without thinking of where it was going and where i wanted to take it ? The only logical explanation i can garner at this moment is the fear of being emotionally hurt.

However i feel that i have been totally wrong throughout. There is absolute no guarantee that any relationship would last the distance or not. For example, there may be mutual love between a boy and a girl, yet they may not be able to take it to marriage due to umpteen external factors. Even if they marry, they may not lead a good relationship or may decide to separate in the future. All these are found to result in a lot of pain. Hence i guess the best thing is to live and enjoy the time you get to spend with your loved one without being too analytical on where it is actually heading (Bcoz most likely you would not be able to control the ultimate fate)...

Just one last thing for the gal i still love, if u happen to read this someday in your life .. I would like to tell you "I am sorry for not giving you what i cud have during those 2-3 years" (just kept thinking about the net 30 years that never came )..

I can't remember who told you once "Live in the present"..... Huh I remember it was me :) :)

Now you have realised yourself.... so go ahead and enjoy life..let bygones be bygones (Don't take it as if I am saying go back to her..i am saying just enjoy the present :))

I have agreed with this thought in the past and also today though i guess i have not been successful as far as implementation goes...
