Valentine's Weekend..
I've just discovered that time is not constant. It varies from place to place. In my college, it seems that we're 5 days late as compared to the rest of the world. Valentine's Day was on Saturday and we had a gathering which we call "Valetine's Social Night".
It wasn't the conventional Valentine's celebration. We had a a moblie disco brought in by some deejay from Nuvo ( I think) . Anyway, I didn't buy a ticket, so I didn't get to enter the hall which was turned into the dance floor. However, I did get to see many boys and girls walking and talking with each other, seemingly nonchalant to everything else in their paths.
At times like this, its hard not to feel left out and lonely. Although there wasn't any reason for me to feel lonesome, yet the feeling was evident- I couldn't escape the fact. It amazes me how the mind plays tricks on you. Even more amazing, is how people can be so exclusive in their relationship with others.
I've seen many couples together. It really is interesting to see how different people cope with their relationships. Some people are dead serious, some are just fooling around. Some are overprotective, some don't care less. Most of them however, are superficial relationships. Of course, some of them are just very good friends.
Friends- I wonder what I'll do without them. I have many friends, some of them who are girls of course. We talk, we chat and we spend a great deal of time together. We're really close. However, it is particularly hard to be close friends with the opposite gender without involving the romantic aspect to a relationship (or rather, the desire to be romantic) . It has brought me to wonder "Is it possible for a people of opposite sexes to be intimate friends and remain intimate yet only as friends?".
There are a thousand reasons to believe that it is possible, or it is impossible. However, debating over the issue is not close to the heart; an intellectual arguement won't bring solutions. If yes, it'll be great. If not, it doesn't matter anyway. (does it?)
Relationships can be a really touchy subject. But there are so many questions that have been left unanswered, my question for example. The idealistic answer of course, is to have a meaningful relationship, irrespective of what level you take it to. But more often than not, we fall short of being ideal.

This subject is one that I can't truly comment on much; I am lacking and have so much to learn. I am perplexed. Blogging about this certainly feels liberating. Hopefully someone share their opinions. That's all for now, Happy Belated Valentines..
