My Love Affairs

Yes, I've had them as long as I can remember. Specifically, ever since I learnt to read.

Books. We are childhood sweethearts and going steady even in my youth. I love them like a fat kid loves candy and an addict loves his drug. They're the ones who anchor me to reality and sanity.

One of my earliest lovers was Tintin by Herge. I've got the entire series and I'm never giving them to anyone, not even my grandchild.

Then I fell in love with Russian writers like Arkadi Gaidar and Vera Panova, being too young to be acquainted with Tolstoy and Dostoevsky. I read the latter later, but the intensity of my love never varies.

Then Harry happened to me, and this relationship still goes forever strong. In fact all of them do. Oh, the hours I spent loving Harry, empathizing with him, fighting for him...

Vernacular Literature was on a parallel scene, and I tasted many big writers at a young age. What can I say, older lovers fascinated me! Not that I really understood much of it, had to re-read later to actually feel the stuff.

From then on, I've loved greatly, suffered greatly at times (some books are betrayers between the lines, I tell you) but reading has yet to disappoint me on the whole.

I shall be continually updating this tab and you can stay fresh on my latest gossip. Cheerio!

  2. My first love was XCD 125, she left me alone to walk this earth without her (literally) and i hope she is resting somewhere peacefully.
    I nearly quit everything in depression, then one day I saw her, FZ 16, she was a beauty, everything she was and did was fantastic, but alas we had to part ways. I wanted somethings in life and she was not up for it. You know how it is, I wanted a more rural life, relaxed pace, etc. She was more aggressive, faster, etc. Last time i saw her, she was dating one of my cousins (latest news, they too broke up, and she is with someone else).
    My life took a spin for good, when I first saw her in Auto Expo Delhi. I can still remember the exact feeling. It was January,2010, a cold Delhi morning, sun shone brightly over her face, she was there with other pretty girls, but i just could not take my eyes off her. My bones were cold, my face and nose numb, but my heart was warm, my brain totally blank. All I could do was look.
    That day I decided I had see her again....
    Then in 2011, October, just before Pujas I met her, I planned and worked hard for 1.5 years on each small detail, to make everything possible. I just could not leave anything to chance. When she came out of her home fist thing in the morning, I went to meet her, my TB 500.
    It was a little awkward at first but we managed somehow. She was more mature than anyone i had ever met. I realised, not only she is confident and beautiful, she has the physical and mental capability to achieve them. We have the same goals in life, we are together in a relation for the last 5 years and every time i see her bright face my heart just skips a beat. I guess this is love.
    As in all relations we have had our differences at times, and for a brief time we stayed apart, i dated someone else (an Italian beauty but it did not work out), but she never left me, she waited patiently. We made up again recently, I am going back to her this summer, permanently. We have promised to take care of each other in the future.
    I think she is the only one, its been more than 5 years now, and she is still the only one i see, when i close my eyes.
    She is still the only one i plan everything for/with.
    She goes with me every where. I can never forgive myself for ever doubting her, but now that i have realised, i m never letting her go.
