This thing called 'kismet'...

Love has a mysterious way of creeping up from behind when you're not looking and catching you off guard. Sometimes you shrug it off casually just like you would a child who hides behind the door and goes 'boo!' when you approach but sometimes you fall into its open arms as if you had been waiting for it your entire life. Ironically, you don't find it when you need it the most but once you stop looking for it, it's there waiting for you around the corner and before you know what hit you, you're in it knee deep. Now what are you supposed to do, pull back or sink deeper? The answer lies in your heart. Unfortunately, not all love stories have happy endings. As sad as it is, not many people have the fate of Snow White who after having a near-death experience got her Prince Charming; or Rapunzel, who was rescued from the tower by the man of her dreams. Many of us stay imprisoned behind the walls of our circumstances and sometimes fate. But what if there was nothing to stop us? What if the environment or the society or the circumstances were all pushing us to go for it? Sadly in the real world you can't survive by thinking about 'what ifs'. The harsh realities follow you around, your hands are tied by your own inhibitions and by others around you. You learn to pull yourself together and deal with it and move on with your life. But if it's not circumstances or society; if it's just a heartbreak, nothing else, then along with your life and soul, you also lose your pride and that's when you take a very long time to recover. The heartache lasts forever...
