So today, people are falling in love
"People are in a great hurry to fall in love.
Having an affair has become a status symbol,
especially on campuses.''
So today, people are falling in love
more often than ever before.
And not just with one person.
Today you might be in love with someone,
but you are free to walk out if the relationship is
stifling and fall in love with someone else.
Unlike the days of the past
when only death could do you apart.
Does that mean the present generation
is less sincere when it says 'I love you'?
I doesn't think so.
"They no longer say it to express a commitment.
I believe they mean it when they say it,"
Perhaps, with culture and tradition,
relationships have become flexible too.
Take the case of my friend journalist
who relocated in metro a year ago.
Friendless in a new city,
he took to the Internet chatrooms.
There he met Girl, 18, a student of College.
They fell in love even before they met;
and when they met,
a passionate affair began.
But in less than six months,
she was gone, after having
declared her love a million times.
"I think she grew out of the relationship.
But when she used to tell me 'I love you',
I could see she meant every bit of it,"
says my friend journalist,
who nursed a broken heart for a
while before moving on -- to other women, of course.
Today, both speak on the phone occasionally,
like "good friends."
Sounds like a filmi divorce story!
But that's how it happens these days,
except in films where the girl and
the boy fall in love and live happily ever after.
"Rarely do we see a love affair culminating in marriage.
Often we find that the victim of an
unsuccessful affair soon gets into another one,''
I views this casual attitude of today's youth as a dangerous trend.
"When one runs from one relationship to another,
it becomes a character trait,
only to be continued in future,''
