The Right Relationship...
“Try this for a deep, dark secret. The great detective Remington Steele? He doesn't exist. I invented him. I always loved excitement, so I studied and apprenticed, and put my name on an office. But absolutely nobody knocked down my door. A female private investigator seemed so . . . feminine. So I invented a superior. A decidedly masculine superior. Suddenly, there were cases around the block. It was working like a charm. Until the day he walked in. With his blue eyes and mysterious past, and before I knew it, he assumed Remington Steele's identity. Now I do the work and he takes the bows. It's a dangerous way to live, but as long as people buy it, I can get the job done. We never mix business with pleasure. Well, almost never. I don't even know his real name.”
-- The opening lines from the series Remington Steele. Came across these lines the other day when I was searching for the DVD of the series, and boy! Was it a blast from the past! The series was aired on Star plus every afternoon at 2.30, and I remember rushing back from the school bus stop to make it in time for the serial.
Life was so simple back then… all about make believe hunks, (more specifically about Pierce Brosnan!!) and this (imagined) wonderful world where one would meet the perfect man, fall in love and have the perfect relationship!
Like every passing phase, that too passed. 11 years down the line, wisdom obviously has prevailed – there is nothing like a perfect relationship ‘coz the perfect partner doesn’t even really exist. Like a friend of mine said “since no one is perfect, there is no such thing as a perfect relationship”!
What is interesting though is how we get stuck with the word ‘right’ and how people get evaluated as being right for each other. So you find someone with whom you have this instant connect. Something just clicks, and you find that the connect you have spans many different levels. You might be complete opposites, but for all of the differences, something works. It is inexplicable in many ways… but it is bigger than anything you have ever imagined or experienced. Is that equivalent to it being ‘right’? How does the ‘right’ word fit into this?
Do these connects and the accompanying feelings not automatically make the situation or relationship as it were, right?

You seem to have cracked the code:)
A few connects, suplemented with inexplicable coincidences, leaving you in a state of almost permanent euphoria...yup that is the right relation...add some loving...and bang, you've stumbled onto "Mr. Perfect" in the "Right" relationship.

Your writeup left me with a good feeling ...maybe I will find my Mr Right ....left me with a feeling that I had experienced after watching Serendipity....but...
Yes, there is a BUT....Well, I don't know if you have watched the Bengali movie DAHAN(I know u might not be a BONG.:)..but it has subtitles in english)....watch it ..if u can lay ur hands on it ..
There is no one on Earth like you...when you start living with ur partner u discover more about him ..some things u may like ..some u won't ....but u know what.. u will compromise ..actually compromise is a wrong word ..I think u will take him with all that and may be more.....but in this game of accomodating him..we might begin to lose our original self ..and that I beleive is the onset of doom ..
Walk the road with the person u 'connect to' but never give up the habit of walking alone .....
