Better to have loved and lost than never to have. . .


25 March 2007
Well, itz almost official that we have broken up…her parents…conservative n orthodox pahadi that they are (with all due respect) are not going to agree ever…n family takes priority…did everything I could to convince them…but it seems, for them everyone whoz not from Dehradun is an Alien n dies after one year… how outmoded can people be…wanted to say, “People grow up!!”…lolz… mez single again…it was so good to be in love though…

. Being in love… very abstruse to be described in words…involves lot of joy, satisfaction, pain, jealousy,eternal bliss n peace galore!! Oxymoron!! It was such a spiffing feeling to know that someone out there cared for you n would always be there for you in the future… irrespective of whatever…Nice to visualise someone in your mind when you hear- “You took my heart away...” Lucky are those, who fall in love…Luckier are those who marry the ones they fall in love with…I’m at least “Lucky” that way, not “Luckier” may be…(Looking at life through rose coloured spectacles).I thank Alfred Tennyson for quoting this quote:

“Better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all”

Rajat, don't worry...tht b*tch will get her due. I was shocked when I heard abt it...
Wht she did was unofficer like, infact inhuman! and to think we were so happy for both of you...
I had my reservations during YOs.
It's good buddy tht you got to know about her character beforehand
Forget her!!
We look forward to your excelling in the corporate sector!!
All the best buddy!!

came across your profile quite randomly.
i'd like to congratulate you for the sheer strength of will power you have to get back all rocking.
i've seen a very similar situation very closely as it was within the family and i'd say i'm priviledged be connected to the person in one way.life moves on and so should you and i'm seeing it you are moving on so well.
keep it up man!
keep up the inspiration.
