I had been to a nice beach the other day.People here say that the Asilomar sunset is one of the best things of the Monterey bay area.Well i must say unlike other such instances where i find its more the hype than the fact,this case was different.Its really a lovely place - all you people who will say whats there in a beach...they are all the same...i wont argue.I found it nice and that is what counts i guess.
The beach itself isnt something so striking to fall in love with.But i think it was just the time of the day the ambience that got me.Its a crescent rugged stretch of about half a mile with the hills of Carmel rising behind it.The white sand and the rocky terrain all added to the whole picture with the sun gently resting on the horizon as if trying to get a quick sleep before going into hiding.We were lucky - there was very little cloud cover and no fog which is pretty common here at this time of the year.We walked for about half an hour the entire stretch trying to get soaked into the wonderful surrounding.
There were not very many people in the beach and that was good.Most of the famous beaches are so crowded with people that you dont realize whether you have come to enjoy nature or spend some time in a shopping mall.The few people who were there were mostly taking the evening walk with their family.Some others were having a playful time with their dogs.I watched a baby boy trying to get away from his father at every opportune moment and trying to chase their dog to catch a ball....and the father running after both.These things really appeal to me.The very personal intimate moments when people really have a nice time oblivious of all their pain and troubles of the mundane life. Then there were people just sitting idly on the white sands talking and enjoying the sun going down.Its a real romantic place - a place where you can spend an idle couple of hours enjoying the surroundings along with the person you love.Add to that something to eat and drink and its a recipe of a perfect evening.
We were now on our way back from one end of the beach.The sun slowly slid under the cover of some low lying clouds near the horizon.It didnt make a perfect sunset but it sure was nice. The nice golden glow which you can look into and enjoy.The sky looked just like a pallete some kid had sprayed the color on.We walked our way back slowly to the car.A kid and his dad was just jogging on the trail.The kid was running ahead of his dad...panting and waiting for his dad to catch up.Then when they got near the car the dad got hold of him and swung him in the air before embracing him in a playful manner.I said to myself - This is one of the instances of perfect happiness in one's life that we so unsuccessfully strive to achieve through materialistic ways.

Its something on which a million poems,songs,stories,films and what not have been created. ever since i started to realize what being in love means i have also been hearing about the wonderful feeling and how one can only feel it and cant explain it.
Well to be honest i feel that this is true.If you have never been in love you cannot really understand what it is like.Now many of you will argue about what i meant by this - again some will question the statement of "being in love".So let me make myself very clear to start with.
By being in love i mean when you trully love someone and this is not just some form of attraction physical or otherwise.I cant explain further but i guess you will get what i meant to say.
Its just a beautiful feeling...you feel like life has a entire different meaning when you think of both of you together.You crave to be near each other always...You always seem to find endless things to talk about. A few days back my room mate was asking me about what people talk about with their person of love each day...dont they get tired nd bored of talking?
Its a very natural thought for someone who hasnt experienced this in their life.I too once had this question this inquisitiveness....but i can assure you its a whole new world out there and you realize that only when it happens to you.
There is another aspect i want to talk about being in love.A lot of people have told me that people get more liberal more open minded when they are in love. This is true but there is another element too in this which many people dont state or are afraid to disclose -its jealousy and reciprocity. People in love often tend to expect certain things from their partners and often undergo serious mental discomfort when they dont get something from their partners which they had expected. It might be nobody's fault just a natural thing that their partners have done but to them it's something that was wrong just because it failed to match their expectation.Human mind is sooo complex however simple we might think it is. People also get jealous because they crave for all the attention from their partners...ha ha it seems the child in us comes out.Well i know of a few unfortunate incidents which strained relationships because either of the partners failed to understand this feeling of their partners.
Its tough isnt it?But then again whats love if you cannot understand your partner.
Nyways enough of my crazy blabbing...But however it is the end point is that everyone should atleast experience this feeling once in their life.Its a whole new hidden chapter of the book of life.
