Documented Love

We have done it again. And this time it is much funnier and more interesting too. The act of 'expressing' love and 'documenting' it by capturing it on video for future reference is one of the greatest ideas man could ever come up with ( sarcasm, intended). And how the media loves to discuss this issue is a delightful and amusing sight.

Sex video scandal is not something so very new for India to be really shocked about. News reporters and editors display their mastery in play with words when it comes to reporting such issues. Infact, news is business too. And it sells only when rightly marketed.

The last time the media was jumping in joy ranting about an issue similar to this was when a video of a high school girl expressing the love she had for her guy was spread through MMS. The couple HAD to record this because incase the guy or girl ever happened to suffer from amnesia they would forget how intimate they used to be. Thanks to the viral video that is one incident the girl involved is never to forget even if she were to go into a coma.

The recent incident involves two MBA students who were in 'love' and allegedly were to get married. The girl, being very thoughtful, wanted to 'openly express' what she really had for her guy(come on, I can't get into more details!). She hence has 'documented' her performance. This is where the guy acted 'guy'ish or rather 'kiddish'. He had forwarded it to all his wonderful friends who realized that this could be the remedy to the current economic crisis and distributed the same to the masses. Would you believe that the news also tells that the couple broke-up after this and the marriage was called off? Now that's how deep our news reporters get into a story!

What puzzles me is that, how on earth could a 23 year old girl doing an MBA actually think that a video like this would stay a secret? Even if she had trusted the guy so much, the intention of recording anything is to 'preserve' atleast one copy for future use. Which means it is available for duplication with or without consent!

We have all heard it plenty of times. The phrase used by most as a shield or rather an excuse to anything that goes wrong in a relationship - 'Love is blind'. But in several cases love is dumb and stupid too!

I don't see a situation where a sceptic friend would need documentation to support the claim of an ongoing relationship! If love where to be something to be to be felt, why do we need all this? And if this is something acceptable in love, then what is all the gibberish about love only being felt? Yes, love and sex compliment each other, but only within four walls and only with your better half.

Love is in the air, and this time it stinks!

Peace.
