The p-e-r-f-e-c-t relationship

The perfect life, perfect love, perfect romance and the most perfect relationship. Do all of these actually exist? And even if we assume they do, then after a while they seem to lose colour. The only thing that still remains interesting is the pun and the irony of these P-e-r-f-e-c-t relationships.
“Gravity is not responsible for people falling in love”. Yet many love stories these days end up at Shaadi.com. It’s all love through and through, and the fuss about “Mere papa nahin maanenge but I love you more than anything in the world jaan”. And once back to the internet, its hunt for the richest, handsomest and the most “Pairi pona uncle ji” type NRI. Oh Dahling… Maal hai to taal hai.
Talking of maal, the celebs have loads of it. Once a celeb was asked whom he thought was the most beautiful woman in the world. To which he replied Aishwarya Rai. The interviewer promptly said that you should have named your wife sir. The Celeb pondered for a while and said you asked about women and not goddesses!
Some wise woman once said; always treat your parents as parents and in laws as in laws. Imagine telling mummyji, “main aaj raat disco mein black wala tube top pehnu ya pink noodle strap?” or even better “aaj please khana aap bana dena, mujhe sham ki party ke liye waxing karvani hai”. Crossing the line of fire and surviving might actually fetch one a Bharat Ratna. Whatever it takes, Mummyji and Ma, can’t really be made one.
So does that make marriage the end of the game? As in, is it really worth it? The only married couples that seem to have made their mark in history are Bill-Monica-Hillary, Amitabh-Rekha-Jaya and the recent one being Shiney-Housemaid-Anuradha. The likes of laila-majnu and heer-rajna sadly never managed tying the holy knot.
Uncle Ben told Spidey “With power, comes great responsibility.”, but all of us realize it now that the Tiger completely forgot about it. I received a very interesting sms last night which said “a lion would never cheat on his wife, but a Tiger Wood”.
“Yeh rishta kya kehlata hai” or rather ye rishta kya kya din dikhata hai. The irony of every relationship begins with the relationship itself. As they often say the beauty lies in the eyes of the irony holder.
