My love cost you nothing!

We're passing through exciting times!

The title of my thought for the day is the name of a short film made by four college going youngsters. All of them  have a common bond - they've experienced unrequited love! To cite just one story, one amongst them lost his girl to the deadly scourge of cancer. The unrequited love messed up their lives, turned their worlds upside down - albeit for a short while and then wisdom dawned on them that their lives were not meant to be squandered away for meaningless things!

The film is the sum total of their autobiographies - if I were to take poetic licence at this juncture - depicting the objects of their love as truthfully as they could and in the process, try to knock the bottom of the adage that it's men who're promiscuous in love and not women!! Some of the aspects that they've highlighted are as follows:-

       (a) Seventy percent of teen suicides that take place in Kerala is due to failed love.
       (b) Most girls view their campus love and weaknesses as mere time passes - to have a good time while     it lasts.
       (c) Practical thinking is the byword. It's not love but good economics and bank balances that ensure
            a stable life.
       (d) Not to forget a fairly well accepted and respectable position in society for the spouse.
       (e) And lastly, the fairer sex manages the art of sharing their affection with more than one person at a given point of time with considerable ease.


My take.

I'm of the opinion that such happenings are even sided - I mean it's applicable for both boys and girls. No real comparisons can be made but perhaps, guys take longer to recover when such a mishap happens and no wonder they say that woman is the stronger sex!

I shall definitely watch the youngsters' efforts on celluloid to see as to how they've depicted such a sensitive issue. It's definitely their viewpoint and one needs to respect that.

And yes, we're indeed passing through exciting times!!!
