The thing with Romance 

No, I am not talking about romance in the intellectual level of it. Rather it is plain romance; I am going to pen down a bit. :D It’s weird since I’m not a romantic person at all or so as I feel. But that is the catch I suppose. The conventional definition of Romance to me is mushy. Saying a deliberate poetic line like, ‘beautiful eyes’ or ‘charming smile’ fits good in the fairy tales of princess and princesses only. What is romance, if there is no underlying mystery to it? A hidden, poetic appreciation behind a casual smile?  A metaphorical compliment behind plain words or perhaps a consistent catalyst to intellectual stimuli rather than a dull ‘I love you’? A candle light dinner in a posh restaurant is romantic sometimes but a bucket of cheese popcorn in a cozy shack never loses its charm. To me, a drive in limo feels an over-rated romantic gesture. A cool evening walk down the beach or by the lake is always more romantic per any standard. A quick text or a sudden call is what tingles every heart rather than dramatic, confusing expressions. 

Most of the relationships (especially marriages) lose their charm as because; they miss out on the subtlety that keeps us alive. It’s really the silliest things in life that is most romantic and not the traditional mushy ideas that seem alluring at times.  

Some people say, I tend to defy every conventional idea. But honestly, life is really refreshing if you can move out from the stereotyping concepts that create the stupid illusion of ruling the planet!
