The
villain of the romance and the currency of the pandit, horoscope mismatch has
ruined more lives than its matching has built.
"Manglik"
is a curse akin to the suffering of a young, eternal widow. Great, highly
eligible girls remain unwed because of this supposedly heavenly curse.
Here
is a real-life exchange abruptly concluding a potentially promising
relationship between two responsible young people, wrought by the villainy of
the horoscope matching. Yours to ponder

[informing of the horoscope mismatch] Just had a discussion with Papa, and he
told me he has
gotten
our horoscopes matched in detail. There are a lot of planetary mismatches in
this combination and both the people we know advised we cant go ahead with
this. Might sound very traditional, but parents are a bit more careful since I
have already been through so much.
I
wish you weren't such a great person to talk to, it would've been so much
easier to write this. :-\
Anyways,
tonnes of good wishes your way & prayers you find your soul-mate soon.
Please pray for me too. :-)
And
yes, we can always stay in touch. I will keep you informed about un-bucketing
my overflowing bucket list.
Cheers,

Hi,
I
have always believed that Universe offers each one of us a flawless diamond -
in the rough, only if you are willing to polish off every part of you that
cannot join do you end up with a soulmate. It is "us" that are the
generating point of the quality of our relationships. Celine said if there is
any kind of God in this world, it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me, but
just this little space in between. The space in
which
we treat each other. And it is in our hands how we do that and find our God.
People
think nothing of devoting a year to learning a new sport, two years to learning
a new language, decades to gettting the degrees they want, and half a century
to reach the top of their profession. But somehow a great love should fall
unbidden from the stars. The current belief is that if a couple has to work at
it, they are not soul mates. In fact they are just departing from the plan just
in seeing each
other.
A
relationship only works when two people truly believe in themselves and believe
they have been picked to be together by all the angels in the heaven. There are
no warts on the face of the Universal law.
Anyways,
it is unfortunate that in whatever time I had, I wasn't able to inspire enough
confidence that you would stop believing the planets and believe in real
people.
Goodbyes
make me crazy. When someone leaves, I can't fully recover. Each one of us is
made up of such specific beautiful details that it is impossible to replace
someone. I notice those things and I'll miss them. I am staring at the book I
bought, will probably shed a good-bye tear and get lost in the night as the
music plays me company. May be I have become a little vulnerable. I don't even
know why am I writing all this.
When
morning comes, there will be another tune to greet my day. Without malice and
much love!

IN REPLY:
Hi,
This
isn't easy for me either, equally tough. Before & after writing that email
to you on Thursday night, I wasn't at peace. Was taking Mom around the city for
her shopping, but the mind was wandering. And even tougher since we have talked
to each other quite a few times now. I told her twice, how must he be feeling?
I had no courage to ask you! I understand your perspective, but I have no choice
since my family does believe in horoscope matching, cautious at every step that
they are.
I am a very emotional person
too. In everyone I meet, I find all the
goodness and the Gods within. And that sometimes makes life so difficult for me. Attached very soon, detached I guess never! It has been very very difficult for me to
let this go. That is why I had asked Dad to
get the horoscopes matched immediately
before we dived deeper into this & would
be impossible to come out of it later.
You
are a wonderful human being and it has always been very heart warming to talk
to you. You are TOO good to be TRUE! I sincerely wish you get all the happiness
in you deserve.
Do
not shed a single tear, for there is no 'good-bye forever' here.
Take Care,
