After the phenomenal success of my blog (A grand total of 17 hits by 3 unique users including me and 0 subscribers), I have decided to post my fourth irrational ranting about random thoughts.
Is there anything called "Made for each other"??
Scores of women and men (gay) including Madhuri Dixit, Shahrukh Khan, Karan Johar believe that there is this one person in this world who is made for you popularized by a very shitty movie call Dil To Pagal Hai. Lets try to analyse your chances of finding the "One"
"Kahin na Kahin, koi na koi, har ek ke liye bana hai" (Someone somewhere is made for you, Translation for my non Indian followers. Well, there might be a firang reading this some point in time): The comment does not specify whether it will be an Indian or Chinese or Pakistani. One amongst 6 Billion people. Does not specify the gender, but if you are straight or gay, around 50% of the population can be eliminated (God save the bisexuals, they have to find their true love from a target audience of six billion people). So now that leaves three billion. Obviously, common sense and scientific research says that the person who normally you get along with is some one from the same age group who generally have the same level of intellect. So that would mean people in your age group which could be 16-25 or 26-35 or 55-64 etc. Basically, around 20% of the population would fit the bill. So now that reduces your target population to 600 million. Phew!
If "Made of each other" is true, the One who is perfect for you is a part of this population, could be in the cubicle next to you or in a temporary toilet cubicle in a relief camp in Congo. What are the chances of finding the One? What if the One for you has had to make compromises and has already married or hooked up with someone else? What I am trying to say that even if the whole theory is true, is it worth believing in it? I have known people who have waited for this perfect relationship and in the end missed out on the next best thing. This belief might have done more harm than good.
For me, the concept of Made for each other does not exist. You meet different kinds of people, interact with them and maybe, just maybe, you find this one girl you connect with, someone who does not bore you. There will always be differences, compatibility issues to a certain extent, but you override all those things because you really care for that person. Long story cut short, the girl may not be the One, but you are more compatible as compared to the people you have met till then. This may limit your chances experience other interesting possibilities, but it is a gamble you take. Worth the gamble according to me.
There is this quote from one of my favorite movies, The Girl Next Door . Maybe its not very relevant, but to end this post with the same. The main character was giving a speech on moral fiber and he went
"Moral fiber. So, what is moral fiber? It's funny, I used to think it was always telling the truth, doing good deeds, basically being a fucking boy scout. But lately I've been seeing it differently. Now I think moral fiber's about finding that one thing you really care about. That one special thing that means more to you than anything else in the world. And when you find her, you fight for her. You risk it all, you put her in front of everything, your life, all of it. And maybe the stuff you do to help her isn't so clean. You know what? It doesn't matter. Because in your heart you know, that the juice is worth the squeeze. That's what moral fiber's all about.
