Young love.....

Being among the young people made me question few things and I am not sure if I have the answers to them yet!
Their life without any responsibility as of day seemed much better than a full fledged adult life! It surprised me to see their carefree attitude and their big dreams.... !! I wondered if they ever thought of how to achieve those big dreams... It seemed like the dreams were going to be a reality without the effort of trying to make them come true! I don't know whether to be cynical or to admire their blind belief!

Young boys and girls claiming to be in serious relationship, had planned out their love, marriage, job, house...and not just any house...but big, luxurious with good locality...... and also baby !!

I stopped myself every now and then, from telling them to get a reality check!!

I wondered if what they felt now as love, would remain as love in the next 5 or 10 years ! And so I put that question to my sister, who, by the way, in spite of being 9 years younger to me, speaks the language of some wise soul most of the time! And she said that of course love is never ever lasting! What it is today will not be what it is.....even 5 years down the line of marriage ! So she says, that once you get bored of your spouse....have a baby !! That automatically shifts your focus of boring relationship and brings about new challenges ! For the next 10 or 15 years, you remain busy with the life of the child and when the child has grown big enough to step into the big big world, and does not need your support....you go back to your spouse to make up for the lost time!!

Now this definitely got me thinking....
And indirectly it means that most marriages wouldn't last long if you didn't have a baby to bind you to it!

So....do I now need a baby to get me bound?
