Where my Memories lies

They say you never love, if you don't meet someone face to face, talk.share. 

Well, I believe if you don't experience it yourself you really don't have much of a say. It's like someone keeps on calling you, desperately, so much, that every time they call they hear the ring. But no one answers it. And after a while, no options they have, but to give up. And if the same thing is done to "you" by someone else then only you realize how it feels.

Long distance love - well...already has a "Long" in it, is probably one of the most common complex phrases I have been hearing time and again.

The world has expanded. So,we have shrinked. With a broadband we have got the world on our feet. So much so, we don't even bother to move out, meet people, talk, share. Just drop in an email / ping / "FB" like" status and it's done. Its our way or rather new way of being in touch.

Remember these things were made so that one could always be with the other one. But, I guess it's worked the other way round. People have stopped meeting. They are so trapped inside these cubicles of fibers that they hardly can imagine a life without them.

Someone told me - "Basu - the phone has its limitations". I have seen people, never ever met each other, talked, loved on phone and then broke away. All on phone.Is this long distance love.Not really.

I have a friend with whom I studied. We talked, a bit,back then. Now,when we are miles apart, this "online"thing is "the thing" for us. We talk, share, fight and it feels that we are so much together. Is this long distance love.Not really.

I feel, of course you should meet the person. Face-to-face. But then that would happen when time comes. Whatever ways you have, options you use, make sure you use them. Even if its a small birthday wish, a little hi, a text or if you have shared you number, may be a call on the weekend. That would do.

Remember all of us have a good part in us and a bad part too. We are all smart and all stupid at the same time. TRUST is the single most important thing in life. Try trusting people. It would be not very often that people break your trust. And if they do, learn that it wasn't your trust that failed, it was there wish that they got fulfilled. At the end you stay happy and they too, to some extent.

This is an issue which is too complex to describe. Everyone would have views and counters. All are respected.
