Sum, Sub and lots of "Love"thmatic


When two people meet, do they instantly fall in Love?
Or, do they slowly grow into each other?
Bachelors may have a different perspective on this topic, so let me check with a married friend of mine.
You would definitely remember
him...
The guy who mentioned once that : "If it doesnt work your way, try it your wife's way".
So let's ask him, what he thinks of love? Also lets check what his counterpart has to say.

Me : This is going to be an interview full of personal questions. Please feel free to "No comments" any of them if you feel awkward answering. ;-)

Me : Sub, What does Love mean to you?

Sum : Well I've come across this question many a times in my Life and always believe that "It's not the DEFINITION of love ,but the PRESENCE of Love which matters.
Love is a complicated machinery for some ,but at times all you need is a good screw to fix it .

Me : Well! Let's hope that I find my screw soon. ;¬) Sub, What are your thoughts on this?

Sub : Love cannot be described in words , it can only be felt. I believe love makes a person better coz when you love somebody you learn how to care and share.


Me (Scratching my head) : I know how to care and share? Does that mean I am in Love?
Still confused! ;¬(
How long did you take for you to realize that you were in Love with Sub?

Sum : Almost 3 months
Me : What about you , Sub?
Sub : Hmmm.. 2-3 months.
Me : I am glad both of you realized at the same time. It took me over an year to convince someone to be friends with me!!

Me : Did you propose to Sub, or did she propose to you? How did it happen?
Sum : There was nothing like ' Do you love me ?' or 'Will you marry me?' . The foundation was Friendship; "aur dosti kab rishteydaari mein badal gayi pata hi nahin chala".
Me : That's a cliche!

Me : Do you really think that the common notion "Opposites attract" is true? Are you and Sub opposites?
Sum : "Opposites attract' is undoubtedly true but that wasnt exactly the reason to bring us close. Our hobbies,interests , passions , likings , disliking were and are still almost same.

Me : Any comments, Sub?
Sub : Its not quite true in our case. Because we are similar in most things. But on the things we differ, we are poles apart.

Me : I understand that there was a time during your courtship that both of you were countries apart.Is it true that "Distance increases fondness and liking" ?

Sum : Wont completely agree with this because there is another saying called 'Out of Sight Out of Mind'. We were countries apart after around 2 years of our courtship and were already engaged , moreover we knew that its gonna last just for few months.
It really was one of the difficult days of our lives and decided that we WONT let that happen again . To hell with the fact that "Distance increases fondness and liking"
Sub : Somehow these sayings do not hold for both of us . Fondness and Liking was already there; Distance or no distance . We couldn't give time to each other , we were not there for each other when we needed . So all in all we are happy together and try to forget that phase as a bad dream.

Me : Is it true that you have to be the best of friends before you can be the best of lovers?
Sum : True in our case but i personally wont completely agree to this.
Sub : Oh Yes , 100 %.

Me : Does Love really mean to accept a person as is? Or, to try to change someone if you think that's better? Is there something that you would like to change about Sub?
Sum : At first Love really means to accept a person as is , but as they say 'Nobody is perfect' and hence love can make one a better person.
One thing I wud like to change is her 'Fear Factor'. No Roller Coaster rides , no ghost movies . She doesnt like taking risks and is content with her play safe mentality. I want her to become more strong both physically and emotionally.

Me :And how about you Sub? Is there anything that you want to change about Sum?
Sub :Hmmm..his 'who gives a damn' attitude.

Me : What would you present Sub, if you won a 10,000£ lottery?
Sum : Pheeww!!! 10,000 Pounds which means around around 8.7 lakh...Hmmm ..Cheverolet Optra wud be fine.
There are other things too but that i can buy now also without those 10000 Pounds! :-).
Me : Desi to desi hi rahega ;-) Pound se INR conversion koi aur nahi karta! What would you have done, Sub?

Sub: BOSE music system.

Me : Thanks for your time. It has been a pleasure knowing you guys. You have always seemed a happy couple. Stay the same.
Hope my readers now have a better insight to Love.

I wish u had asked your lovely friends what if they had not been married to each other(god forbid it never happens to anybody), how would they have dealt with the blow? Not all people in this world who experience love in their lifetime r lucky 2 spend their lives together;-)

Checked with Sum.
This is what he had to say

Sum : " I think we recieved more than thousand emails for wishes ...and few of them were very touchy....since so many people were in love but they eventually coudn't be together....and then we thank God and do a 'touchwood' that we could make it...thanks to our families for the support...

Now to your question.....Well since it didn't happen and that now we are married and together...We don't even want to think ..What would have happened.... questions like ....'WHAT IF ??' Doesn't really make sense.... Yun hota to kya hota??....jaane kya hota ...agar hota to pata hota ki kya hota.... jab nahin hua to mujhe kaise pata ki kya hota....

no more IFs and BUTTs

"yea sawal un logo ko karna chaheye jinko pyar milkar bhi nahi mila"

Me: Hey dudes! I heard that you guys are heartbroken.
Anonymous wants to redirect his/her query to the Heartbroken.

Mr White: I don't know. I am still unable to think straight.
I keep thinking why it had to happen this way. I can't live like this anymore!

Mr Black: Oh yeah!! $hit happens... You just have to live with it. Move on dude.
Me (Mimicking Mr.Black's tone) : Yada..yada..yada
