Why do I love rom-coms?


Of late, I have only been watching romcoms whenever I get some free time. This made me think, why do I like watching these movies?

Every time I watch any rom-com, I automatically find myself in that heroine's position. Then I start thinking what would have I done in her place and so on! But that doesn't happen in other movies. Yes, that is correct. I am totally smitten with rom-coms.

Definitely this is one of my favorite pastimes, not that I get a lot of time :). But to think of it, why do I love these kind of movies, I did come up with some points. 


  • While I am watching the movie, I am transported to a whole different world. 
  • The characters make me laugh, they make me cry, but finally they make me happy :).
  • I get to experience some of the most beautiful things in life again :), like love at first sight, coming back for the person you love, see the smile on the loved one's face :)
  • There are hardly any sad endings in these kind of movies. Even The Notebook, the two died together, which, in my opinion, was one of the most beautiful endings for any movie, and life as such. 
  • I understand such things are usually hypothetical but still happy endings please me :).

I am still thinking of points. If you have any, please do leave me a comment. I would love to know what you think...

Lost and Not Found????

The fact that some one is looking for you, someone is waiting for you is so re-assuring. It makes you want to live. I really wonder what happens to people who are found to be missing(what a pun!!) and their well-wishers who wait for their arrival.

I have come across couple of incidents in the recent days that deals with missing people. Last week, I saw 2 episodes of Crime Patrol that spoke about missing women. Whatever may be the reason for disapperance, maybe intentional or pure fate, women are usually such an easy target for people, just because they "seem" to be fragile. 

The two episodes that I saw made me think of all the people who get lost due to some circumstances. My heart goes out to the kith and kin of the missing ones. 

But at the same time, I happened to watch "Gone Girl" movie. The whole plot was a shocker and a complete paradoxical of the issues that I had seen in CP. It was rejuvenating, but still it amazed me to think about the "Gone Girl", who created the missing of herself (oops did I just give the plot of the story!!!)

So the two different sources giving me completely adverse situations of missing has resulted into me losing into something oblivion. 

Well it also reminded me of a lost friend/acquaintance from school. She happened to be one of my closest friends in school for almost 3 years.
But then things turned bitter and we were no longer on talking terms. When I recollect those situations, I am "lost", probably at loss of words, loss of reasons why, what and when it happened. Not that I want my friend back, it never costed me anything to lose her, infact she was at a loss of a lot of things, IMO.

I tried looking for her, I believe almost all my class mates did, but she literally got lost in the world, with absolutely no contact with anyone, at all. 

Too many bereavements, I find myself deprived of words... Maybe this was all that I wanted to say!!!
