Sitting on couch one Sunday evening with a cup of tea and thinking how the era from 90’s to 20^th century change so much when it comes to love and relationship. It was eternal love then and now it has become so easy to break up and leave the other person just for little things. The 90’s was the era of Ambassadors and Radio. Every house had TV sets which played the Mahabharata by Ravi Chopra on DD National and every Sunday passed by playing video games like Mario and Tetris. The time when it was fun to get out favorite songs recorded on the cassettes. Where 9PM was too late for parties and going out with friends for New Year’s Eve was even more trouble. People who lived in the 90s had their different life and were happy back then. I’m sure they would think if those days could come back.

Those days eyes would do all the talking. The love back then was eternal, and pure. There were no restrictions of everyday calling and meeting each other still the love would never end. The fights and arguments were not the cause of breakup. In fact, the word break up never existed. Heart would actually break if things went wrong with the other. It was never announcing your love relation on Facebook; it was about searching for that one smile amidst the crowd and cheeks getting pink. It was about holding hands as soon as you get chance and not about writing stories on social media even while sitting beside each other. Giving space was important, though that generation was not about video calls and face time but it was the best where meeting once in a while had some value and that time was dedicated to just your significant other only, no distractions, and sometimes even silence would make you feel romantic.

Just one message a day asking how you are felt so magical. Games like love percentage and FLAMES topped in school just to know where your relation stands and trust me few even took it seriously. Free SMS recharges, night talk plans, topped the most. Sending love letters via best friend would never fail. Landlines were more famous and the thought of someone listening to your calls would scare us. There was no such thing called as suffocation in the relation. The essence of love was so simple and not complicated like today. Going on dates was not casual and so when would you meet your special one always had its own charm. Today’s relations are all about show off and practical. There is no innocence and genuineness. This is what I am looking for these days which are almost abstract. I’m not saying today’s relationships are shallow but they still lack that simplicity and appeal that the old school romance had. The feeling of falling in love itself was so beautiful then, it had no rule book written and no restrictions that would make you feel worthless. The best words were, “falling in love with you was the best thing that happened to me”, which these days are converted into only “I Love you”, sometimes just to revert to the other person’s feelings. Sometimes you do not find words to speak just because you have swam in each other’s eyes. But now you do not have words to speak because you are busy with the smart phones that once helped the two to come closer. Let you be his/her soul’s eternal mate. Sometimes mean it when you say, you are forever mine. Be the air that one can’t live without.

PS: Show the world that eternal love is not a myth.
