She sat watching the crappy chick flick her friends had always chatted about... she watched the the movie flow by with little reception to her brain as she stuffed her hand with chips, the hot guy, the jock had fallen for plain Jane ... yet again... she knew how the film was going to end, yet she wanted to see through it till the end.
It was not the direction or the acting that caught her interest, it was the story , the fantasy that a plain jane had caught the fancy of the hot and popular. This had never happened in real life ... never to her and never to her friends or even the ones she knew by name and yet there she sat fantasizing about her jock sweeping her off her feet and carrying her to the goal post.
How sad is real life from our fantasies? There is no prince on a white horse or a night in shining armour, there is however, the ugly, big hearted ogre sitting in the middle of his swamp waiting for his ogress to come build a mud house with him.
No matter how movie was going to end the girl knew, in reality, she was going to sit in the swamp for years, silently waiting for her ogre to accidentally stumble on a weed and land up at her doorstep, if not the sudden change in fate, then her mother would find a suitable ogre, who would hold a dual degree, convince her that he was the one she had been waiting all her life.
There is no escaping love, but there is no escaping the quest of love either. In most of us it is inbuilt. Deep within the core workings of our minds sits this small tiny voice that keeps telling us to move forward towards the ultimate goal - happiness and what is happiness really? without love?
Every one can obviously refute with the fact that love from family and friends is enough but those people will have fallen in love at least once in their life. I am a cynic myself, i don't believe there is everlasting love in this lifetime, however, i do believe that some one out there, at some point of time will be the one who will take my breath away, even if it were for a second, that, my friends will be love in its real sense.
There really is no sense in waiting for mr. right, because he would have have found some random girl in his neighbourhood. It is to find that big hearted ogre, in the swamp, fill the swamp with mud houses, till the time the construction crew comes and builds a concrete spa resort on it, then, simply move on to another swamp. If the ogre wants to tag along, you have found your happiness, other wise, there are many ogres in the jungle, you need not worry.
How is it possible for a girl like me to stay single. A lot of guys have asked me that question, the only answer i had to that question was, i never got the chance to be a pair. I am happy that i didnt get a chance really, since all that has led me to write this blog, work on my writing, study for my exams and there is no harm in being alone, since being alone doesn't make you lonely, it just makes you single.
The single ogre in the single swamp, is better than the millions of prince charmings. So, watch out girls, the next swamp is right around the corner.
