I was thinking of sending this as a text message to Deeksha to wish her Good Morning but then once I started writing it, it just went on and on, you know, and then it overshot the word limit. Just then I thought, "Let's put this on my blog". Thereafter the laziness struck me, because, you see, this was going to be my first blog this year as I wrote it earlier. And now I'm posting it.
Old habits die hard but once they die, they are hard to retain (Lesson learnt when I was trying to get back to my texting habit). Sometimes, it is because a new habit has taken it's place and in order to retain that old habit, one has to get rid of new one. (but new one by that time might get classified into the old habit criteria). and a few times, it's simply because it reminds you of the time when you left it.
Leaving a habit is always painful experience but at the same time it's very subtle. Usually, people around us get to know when we're going through turbulent phase but unlikely in this case, it's hard to notice.
It is difficult because Love in it's true form is also a habit; an addiction in a certain way. Perhaps this is the reason why we see that even the most incompatible people that we can find on the face of earth, when married, eventually fall in Love. [Indian Marriages are historical and living examples of that].
We may 'like' a thing at first sight, become fond of it over a brief period of time but Love needs a habit, it needs time, it is a gradual process.
In Facebook terminology or what we can say that in it's Timeline preview, it's evolution can be explained as, starting with a like, then going on to sharing, thereafter tagging along and finally change in relationship status. (recently, they have incorporated change in marriage icons with different icon for straight, gay and lesbians. :P)
The problem (may be I shouldn't refer it this way), the thing with today's generation is that we want results very quickly. We don't want to wait for things. Even in a three hour lab session, what we shout most of the time is, " Yaar! Output nahi aa raha". We don't wait for things to occur, we just make it occur. As a result, there is a severe Backlash. Artificial Rains for example
We don't linger on a process long enough to make it a habit and as a result like is easily misinterpreted as love and vice versa. Sharing is misunderstood for caring.
I wonder how this started with an idea of sending a text message. May be this also is a habit.
