I write... is it the same as 'i blog'? I will find out soon! So why do I need to blog when I write anyway?! - with the only difference being that this is available for total strangers (& if destiny would have it - people I know too). So what is it that's brought me here? I'm not sure. Probably to just understand the blogging-experience. I've been hearing about it for years!
Which brings me to the next step. What topic do I choose? I have so many on my mind. Top-most though is 'If only'. One of my all-time favourite movies. Its one of those movies that has literally carved itself onto my brain & heart. Easy to watch but difficult to apply - or so I feel. What would I do if I knew that my loved one was about to die in a car crash in the following couple of mins? Would I get into the same car? Kills me to even think of it but my answer is not even half as romantic as the movie. I'd be damned but I would probably sob & stay back. I have my kids to look after! I'd have a thousand reasons to chicken out. I would never have the courage to get in or even to let go for that matter! The die-hard romantic that I have always been, I didn't realize until I seriously thought about it that I'm not all self-sacrificial after all! Reality & marriage have hit me hard I'd like to believe q.
So is romance really fiction?! I will never know...
So why 'If only' all of a sudden?! :) This week's task was to resurrect the 'romantic' in my husband, the one that had died sometime immediately after marriage. I picked the 2 most serious & the most profound romantic movies I have ever watched (If only & PS I love you) & got him to watch them. After 2 days of prodding & a zillion skeptical 'did u really really like it?' counters, he finally got honest & said what I knew from the start. They are more girl-movies than 'man-movies'. Whatever, the task remains & now I will have to find some good romantic 'man-movies'(??) to help with the resurrection! God save us!
Just to be on the safe side - to anyone who has ventured out to read this, my apologies for the first-timer naivety!
But then again... blogging is all about being unapologetic, isn't it?! Or so I've heard...
