Three Worlds of Love

 This morning, I hopped on a bus from Chennai to Trichy, expecting just another long ride. But what I didn’t expect was a front-row ticket to three drastically different worlds of love. It was like watching three parallel universes unfold each with its own vibe, its own rhythm, and its own definition of what love looks like.

World 1: The Warmth of Love

Right in front of me sat a couple who redefined the word goals. The guy was all about her caring, attentive, and effortlessly thoughtful. When the AC cranked up, turning the bus into a mini Antarctica, he didn’t just offer his jacket; he straight-up put it on her. No second thoughts, no hesitation. Just pure, unfiltered warmth literally and emotionally.

And it didn’t stop there. He bought food, fed her, and instead of doom-scrolling through their phones, they were reading news articles and books, engaging in deep conversations. While everyone else was glued to their screens, they were lost in each other’s words. Love that nurtures the mind? Now, that is next-level.

World 2: The Chaos of a Breakup

Just when I thought this bus ride was straight out of a romance novel, reality hit hard. A woman a few seats away broke the silence with a full-on rage mode over the phone. She was crying, yelling, and making it crystal clear that her engagement was officially over.

Her words echoed through the bus she wasn’t just leaving the guy; she was filing a case against him. The emotional wreckage in her voice? Unmistakable. One moment, I was witnessing love wrapped in warmth, and the next, I was thrown into a battlefield of heartbreak and legal threats. Talk about contrast.

World 3: The Frustration of Love

And then, there was another guy. His phone would not stop ringing. His wife, on the other end, kept calling for updates, and he was not having it. With every call, his irritation grew, and eventually, he snapped telling her not to call again.

It wasn’t a breakup, but it wasn’t love in its brightest form either. It was something in between frustration, exhaustion, maybe even love lost in routine. His iPhone's loud ringtone jolted me out of my sleep cycle, making me realize just how draining relationships can get when they turn into check-ins rather than conversations.

The Realization

Three couples. Three different love stories. One bus.

From selfless care to bitter endings to love caught in frustration this journey made me realize that love is never just one thing. It can be soft and warm, it can be fiery and painful, and sometimes, it can be exhausting and messy.

And as the bus rolled on towards Trichy, I couldn't help but wonder if love itself is a journey, which world do we all eventually end up in?

STEPS TO OVERCOME DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND STRESS

 Hey  readers! Hope you are doing great and  you would be eager to read my next blog after a long time . Before, I explore about the topic, I would like to bring to limelight a small poem as an introduction for my topic.  Can’t you hear my silent screams? They are so loud that they echo in my dream. Behind the face that carries a smile, Lies a dark road that goes on mile after mile. My silent screams have been going on for years, But it always falls on so many deaf ears. How can they hear that silent screams in their mind? They can’t hear my thoughts if I keep telling that I am fine. What can I tell them?  These silent screams carry no words. It’s just feeling of sadness and darkness that come in its herds, How can I explain so people understand this? It’s like walking around a suffocating black mist. I can’t explain how this feels, it’s so extreme, So, I hold my mouth shut to cover my silent screams. After reading this, I hope that you would have presumed it’s ...

Women Equality a Myth or a Reality?

 Hey readers! Hope you are doing great...I am Safa, to elucidate about yet another age-old question, "Women Equality a Myth or a Reality?"  Revered readers, what do you presume it to be a myth or a reality? I would like you to just ponder upon this topic and kindly peruse it.  First, let me bring to limelight, what do you think about the equality of women during the Vedic Period? You may  feel perplexed but the answer is, women during the Vedic Period enjoyed equal and ecstatic status with men in all aspects of life. Works by ancient Indian grammarians such as Patanjali and Katyayana suggest that, women were educated in early vedic period. Women possessed zestful power and personalities .
