Happened to meet a dreamy eyed 20 something girl yesterday and in one of our casual conversations happened to ask her what is the next big thing in her life that she is looking forward to. The dreams and aspirations of people say so much about them; their hopes; their beliefs and their lives in general and I wanted to connect with her hopes and beliefs at the level of her dreams then. She mentioned that the next big thing that she is dreaming about is finding her knight in shining armor. Someone who she can complete; some who can complete her and fulfill the little void that life has naturally brought in her. She seemed quite sure that every life has some void and we always long for someone; a companion in the journey who will mend the broken pieces and put our life together in its totality for us. And that got me thinking – Is it always so? Is that the most logical way to approach any relationship? With a lens of its ability to complete something or mend something.
