Need you more

 So, just the other day I was watching this movie, called "Love & other drugs". It was a beautiful movie with an amazing plot. It was the story of a girl suffering from Parkinson's disease and a boy who was an irresponsible womanizing drug rep but he loved that girl very much. Towards the end they have this particular conversation which touched my heart and I would like to talk about this specific dialogue: 

"I'm gonna need you more than you need me"-Maggie Murdock, Love & other drugs

This dialogue is so deep and meaningful. This was said in reference to the girl's Parkinson's disease but it made me wonder that isn't this true for every relationship? There are various times when one of the partner needs more attention and love than the other. That support could be both physical or emotional. But do we even let this thought cross our mind when we fall in love with someone?


It is not always simple and easy to stay in love with someone. At some days, the other person might be hard to love but do we just give up at those times? When we feel love for someone, do we just fall in love with the best of the other person? This reminds me of the following lines from this song called, "At my worst", by Pink Sweat$:

"I need somebody who can love me at my worst

No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth"

And this says volumes. We need to understand that no one is perfect. Someone can be perfect for you but that doesn't mean that the other person is flawless, rather it means that you love them with all their flaws. This being said, I still believe that accepting each other's flaws and growing together to work upon them is a significant part of a relationship.


From my point of view, there are two kinds of people in this world when it comes to love. The first kind of people know that once they truly know and love a person, they don't have to be scared of losing them. They know that the other person will keep on loving them through thick and thin. And then there are the second kind of people who need constant assurance. They need to be told every once in a while that the other person will be there. And this is not because they don't trust the other person but this may be because of their past experiences. You might belong to any of the two kinds but communicating and assuring your partner once in a while won't hurt. It is okay if your partner needs you more sometimes. All you have to do is be there for them.


The movie ends with this adorable monologue by the main character:

"You meet thousand of people, and none of them really touch you. And then you meet one person, and your life is changed... forever."-Jamie Randall, Love & other drugs

This made me wonder how much our lives can change with a single person entering or leaving it. You just need to keep the patience to find the right ones for you...

All kinds of romances

I have exams for my third module starting next week, so I thought, why not gear up, before I head up for all the "module end" parties this week, I should look into what the syllabus looks like. I got up and got my notebook and pens ready. I wanted things to be smooth, so I decided to find the coolest-looking pen in my stationery drawer. And there was a sudden realization that so far in my life, I've had the privilege to experience all kinds of romances possible, and that made me wonder if I don't romanticize my life enough (and the answer is that I don't). To walk you through these different categories, I've had a school romance where you look for each other in the corridors just to blush on their first appearance, a coaching romance where getting a ride home is the most romantic thing you can think of, a college romance where you wait for each other's schedules to match to go out on a coffee date, an office romance where you wait the whole day just to spe...

Women in their traditional gender roles

 Today, I suddenly got the urge to bake something I haven't baked before and I thought of baking an orange almond tea cake. As an update, it's in the oven while I write this blog. As soon as I placed that cake tin in the oven, a sense of satisfaction and peace dawned upon me and it made me appreciate my love for baking again. This made me wonder how some people misinterpret feminism as "women leaving traditional gender roles and adopting more male-dominated roles." The only issue with that is that these "feminists" start looking down upon the women who actually enjoy activities like cooking and crocheting and women who choose to be caregivers, nurses, and homemakers.  We, as a society, need to understand that feminism stands for equal opportunity in all areas. The choice, however, should always be dependent on each individual. If a girl chooses to be a chef, it should not end up raising the eyes of the "feminists" since it is her choice. Additional...

Mood swings (a poem)

I had this one in my drafts for the last 4 years. I think I was hoping to make it a little more extended one day, but life is too short to not publish your childhood poems (yes, 4 years back feels like childhood now). So, here goes... Sometimes I can be so grumpy. Instead of being happy. Mood swings at the worst. So, I may have an outburst. The reason could be my periods. Or a ton of stress. Give me a surprise. And I might apologize. I might get excited. And may even seem ecstatic. Okay, this kid was clearly going through mood swings, maybe because of a fight with her boyfriend, without realizing that mood swings are not that rare in her future.
