He asked me ‘ How can I commit to one person while there lie hundreds of beautiful things to admire?’
I smiled and said that its not about loving one person and closing your eyes to all the beauties around, but its about opening your eyes to the world and letting them sparkle on seeing that one face...the face that shall be your world. In the tango of life, the question became his melody and as he trotted from one place to the other, his pursuit continued. Every time a beauty broke his myth and he felt lonely again,my heart reached out to him. It was loving concern mingled with volumes of empathy that I felt for him. I wished him luck as he set out for another search. His finds brought joy similar to an infants happiness on discovering his ability to touch or speak. I smiled and wished him luck’ thinking to myself that this traveller has finaly found his Mecca of peace, his oasis in the desert of life. My belief is shortlived as the oasis was just a mirage and my friend is gloomy again.The question still plagues his mind!!!

  1. I guess this question is pretty common...... Yet one has the answers within himself i guess. Its hard, rather not possible um close ur eyes to the world and its beauties, whilst u are having a person whom u feel like committing to, whom u want to be ur world, ur life...... But then u just can not be a wanderer the whole of ur life. U've got to find ur oasis for urself, else u'll keep on wandering the rest of ur life just admiring the beauties, and then reachin nowhere. Thats not what u r here for. U r here for a reason, everybody is. So keep admiring but find ur oasis, find ur loved one, else u'll starve um death without any body besides u. To conclude, committment is a must but closing ur eyes is not fair too.
