Cheeni Kum

Cheeni Kum, portrayed as sugarless romance is no way to lose weight. For that, there is WeightWatchers . But that pops a question in my mind. Is sugar really missing from romance? After a few years of being married and having a baby, does the sweetness go away from the relationship only to have the mundane routine staring at us. Or is it that even 2% fatfree is as sweet and likeable as whole?

 

Last Saturday we went to a 2nd anniversary party. Supriya and Ankit form a great couple, not to say that they have any sweetness missing. Infact, they can't even stay away from each other in a 4 hour party.  That is sweet. But does that mean if the relationship is not as sweet as it is supposed to be, there is no romance? Do I sound sane here? Some people lack the adequacy to be sweet, u know wat i mean (just like Amitabh in the movie). But does that mean they don't love? Well, i would say in such a case, you have to get your microscope out (or borrow it from the lab) and go skin-deep to fathom the underylaying metaphors of the unconventional romance . Now is that too heavy? It has to be, it is full of fat and sin .

 

We played the "not-so-newly-wed" game in which the spouses are suppose to know the likes and dislikes of their partners. And least to say, it was hilarious. Imagine Sanjay coming out with "daal-rice" when asked what his wife's favourite food is. I rolled laughing while Jhilly was fuming. Anyways, do higher grades in such a test bear testimony to your loyalty or dedication to a relationship? AFterall, choices keep changing, don't they? Anyways, i didn't really mean to be so serious abt this, it was fun and infact the game continued long after the party until home for everyone. Or atleast it did for me, coz while we were half asleep in bed, I asked Jignesh "since when did strawberry become your favorite flavor of ice-cream?" 

 

Perhaps we need to bring in Equal or Nutrasweet, the artificial sweeteners used to infuse or rather refresh the romance in our minds.
