The saga of chick flicks

One of the side effects of being married in the long run include finding absolutely no time for romance. Your day becomes routine..the person whom share your life becomes part and parcel of your life..all things becoming a regular story. For a married working woman .. now life has much more twists in store..its just not enough that you face a daily soap opera at home..it manages to crop up even in your work environment. let me tell you, the much hyped work-life balance hype did not factor in the struggles of a married indian woman.

It is in this blissful world or routine that i suddenly stumbled upon a chick flick. Maybe its pure benevolent luck..or maybe the boredom of routine got to me.. i for a change spent time to watch this absolutely nonsensical but romantic in a cute sappy way  movie. While watching the movie..my heart just thumped at the right places for all those romantic dialogues being belted out non stop. Oh those soulful eyes where you find yourself drowning in....those dreamy dates and the efforts put in by the guy to impress the girl...the climax where he absolutely leaves everything to find her..the reason..she is his better half...i was like awwwwww. 

Once the movie was done i was still in that romance induced bliss when i had an earth shattering realization. This romance..this efforts..this prince charming stuff happens only in chick flicks. Someone forgot to include them in the so called macho movies. No wonder guys missed the memo and we womenfolk are left bereft and wondering as to where things went wrong. This big miss and they say women are from venus..hence they are incomprehensible. Its no surprise that while we crave for candle light dinners, moonlit walks....all they are concerned about is either cricket or the stock market. 

I reached home still in shock from the revelation and pondering how to put it in words. All hubby dearest had to say to my pre-occupied self was if i would have dinner in a gruff manner. Needless to say...point proven. While i refreshed and relaxed, he as his usual norm is heated up my dinner and served me. Being still pissed off, i was just gulping down food pondering over this miss of sappy romance, When the earth shook once more and i had another revelation. This is his way of saying that he loves me... his way of ensuring i am taken care of..of being there to serve atleast one hot meal in my otherwise hectic day. Who needs candle light dinners when he can serve you a steaming hot dinner. Who needs moonlit walks when he drops you in scorching sun. Who needs grand gestures when he is proving in simplistic means how important you are without much fanfare :P
