We are all grown-ups as a result of what the media and movie industry feeds us. Half and more than half of the situations we react to, is because our beloved characters in their more than beloved stories do it that way. And the thing that reigns above all this in the hierarchy of lifestyle that movies dictate to us are love stories. You think your love story or even your romantic dream which you might think is original and natural or at the most is loosely based on a celluloid love story is instead copied frame by frame with even smaller details whose origin you forget so you think it is yours for the taking. Now this can be fatal for a plenty of various reasons.

Winning your lover is not the end of a love story:

 All romantic movies and especially Bollywood love stories end with the couple either getting together in the end or dying together in the end. Now the one truth that very few movies don’t tell you is that maintaining a relationship and being in love till death is a task more tedious and downright boring than winning the heart of your love interest. You yourself wont watch a movie which starts straight from a man and woman getting married and living the same mundane life happily like it was their first. Rather when you grow bored of your partner and are caged under the sacred bond of marriage you would rather be horrified with the implied boredom and dullness of life which has nothing to offer to you.

Losing your lover is not the end of your love story either:

Ok death of a loved one is hard to face and this article is not meant for that even in the vaguest of terms. But what do you make of people who kill themselves of kill their lovers because they could not be together. Was that all life was about. Getting married to the one person. Rather I think getting divorced or breaking up could be like being reborn again and you should look at the bright side. Munnabhai Mbbs scene of his short love story via a small song was the best depiction of the repercussions of not reclaiming your love and a simple and easy way to get over it. The only reason why Titanic is one of the best love stories is because the protagonist dies trying to save his love but let us say the titanic didn’t hit the iceberg and Rose silently sneaked out with Poor jack to live a life in penury and hardships, would it get the same artistic respect as it is getting now. Probably yes but that’s because it ended with the image of them being together. But the further script of them facing the hardships of everyday life is something we would hardly be bothered in.

You are not entitled to love perhaps:

You are lucky if you lost a lover because you had a lover in the first place. By all means you might have been lonely to the deepest of depths in this hard world and you would be more than lucky to be entitled to the love of your mother. Yes such people do exist and the reason why we don’t know about them is because we are not interested to know about them and so the media doesn’t care to tell us about them. Bollywood movies which don’t belong to the gener of love stories still have love stories and all of your favorite characters in the end are married in the end. There is not a single movie you would know that has no female lead and if there does exist something like that, you don’t know it because it is too boring to exist.So you think eventually life will one day slip a woman on your arms out of nowhere. It is surrealist if you think about it. Admit it maybe you are ugly or downright psycho and the best thing you can do for the sake of love to your dream partner is let them the f*** alone.
