Love At First Sight.

This post is sheerly an opinion of mine. Please don't take offence.

Recently, one of my friends seemed to have experienced the 'love at first sight' theory. not as in she herself but her the other half.

truly speaking, i've always thought people who claim their other half to be 'love at first sight' to be a little off. How can you POSSIBLY fall in love with a person when you just had met eyes with him/her? it is ridiculous. i have never been 'in love' if that is what you might call it and perhaps i am not exactly the right person who is supposed to be saying this but hasn't it ever occured to you how this 'love at first sight' theory is a little far-fetched? I am and always will be a firm believer of Love. it is a beautiful thing and one who is given the opportunity to experience it is truly very lucky. But that is where you stop. You cannot insist upon me that you fell in love with a person the minute you laid eyes on him/her. Love isn't something which comes just like that. Nor is it a fairy-tale. Love needs a lot of courage, a lot of work, a lot of trust, a lot of communication, a lot of understanding, a lot of realizations. And all of the above, to me CANNOT possibly occur by one sight. Never. That is bull.

NO, i am not implying those who claim 'love at first sight' have never ever lived the happily-ever-after fairytale. No. there hordes of people who claim this such theory somewhat successful in their lives, who have lived together for decades being each other's true love. These are the people who got real lucky and fall into the trap of 'love at first sight' and then claim that that their first sight was the 'lucky charm'. These are those who later i believe found a way to work through things, have the courage to put up with each other and finally make things work. Mark my words, Love is Never Easy (A.R Rahman ;) ). It never just comes through that whatsoever sparks which flew out of his/her eyes the first time your eyes locked. Perhaps yes it does happen sometimes. In movies only. Where the super Indian hero literally flies over a car (Limousine preferably) and beats up 50 guys at one go to save the heroin and then finally they lock eyes and voila! The 'love at first sight' theory evolves yet further. (Surya is an exception though (: )

Please people wake up. Please stop using such a theory for it is a theory yet to be proven. Nonsensical delights as such are sweet for the ears but just plain ridiculous if you really even listen to yourself saying it aloud

Love really DOES play eye-games. But definitely not at First Sight.
