Everybody in this world yearns for food, clothing and shelter. But there is one more thing which deserves to be added to this list of basic needs, Love....
The thought could sound exaggerated but thats how it is. And yes, I am not talking about the love you feel for your parents or friends or pets. Its about the love you crave for, from the opposite gender. A person you could die for, to live with; a person who could make you feel complete in spite of all your flaws; a person who could hold your hand till eternity; someone who could understand the feelings underlying the silly actions you do; someone who doesnt blames you, when you fail but motivates you to rise up again....and blah blah blah.
But the question is, how many of us actually succeed in their search for true love??? How many of us feel satisfied with the one we find? I guess this filter would fetch very few results. And thats because we become so engrossed with the idea of finding someone ourselves. And we ignore the fact that its quite possible that love finds you itself.....sounds strange??? But no, its not.
Like you, somebody else is also busy finding someone to match their search criterion. And in the process, one could find you but.......do you care pay attention?
Did you ever notice the guy with specs, who stood outside your class in lunch breaks??
Or the guy who always helped you boarding or alighting the bus??
Reason....your preoccupied mind with thoughts that curtain your eyes and keep you away from what could have proved to be love of your life time!
All you need, is to give a chance....chance to love ....let it find you.....
Com'on, give it a shot, this time don't try to rush through the filtering process.....free up your mind of pre conceived notions and open up your eyes. Try to notice those shy glances or gestures that seem kind but unrealistic.
And who knows you may get a pearl hiding in the shell you never thought of peeping in....
