Does it happen often that you come across someone and you know this someone is perfect for you. And you begin to convince yourself that this is it folks, this is the person I want to be with for the rest of my life because he is perfect. He is smart and funny and loves Bollywood and is a foodie and loves travelling and all that and all that.
And then just when you have convinced yourself into believing that this is the one and the only one around. That there are no other people like this one around and that he is so perfect that he has to be rare and are dying everyday because this “the one” is blissfully unaware that he is “the one” and you have convinced yourself that since you are never going to tell him this fact of life and since he is not even interested in you in the first place and now that he is so so far away anyway, that you are going to never find another one like that and are preparing to die a lonely senile death, you come across another avatar of your “perfect”.
Now, you might find this perfect illustration of your perfect-ness in the oddest of places and he might not even catch your fancy for the slightest moment. You might just exclaim “impressive!” in your head and move on with your life. But in that moment, you realise that not all is lost. That perfection is but an idea that can manifest itself in several places and with astonishing frequency. That your idea of the perfect is anyway flawed from the very beginning and prone to severe tweaking based on the circumstances. It becomes a stark reminder of the “preordained-ness” of life and you smile and you move on. Living with the renewed hope that though you have found the “perfect” person and you would ideally like to have that person for keeps, he is not the only one around and if one other sample of the same species can exist in so close a proximity then with a high degree of confidence it can be said that there are other samples around and that there are high chances that you will find a similar person quite up to your liking sooner or later.
And all is well with the world again!
