Hi Friends,
It's been a really long time, since I've been thinking about this term “Better Half”. We use this term when we talk about our or one's spouse. But believe me, Whenever “I “ use this term for my partner, I silently mean “Bitter Half”. But somewhere in my mind I always had this doubt that why that “Half” is better than a “Full” me.
If we go by the meaning mentioned in the vocabulary, It says... better half means “The larger amount or majority of something,” or “Spouse”. and my friends don't worry, I am not going to talk about "Spouse" here. Neither mine, Nor yours...
So I decided to thought and after having decided to thought, I finally started thinking and then I got another thought..
There are so many things in life which are better only if they are “half” and not “full”.
Let's start with the most complicated thing which exists.......”Life”......... If I talk about myself, I think that I am halfway through my life ( I am extremely optimistic person and I did not want to compromise with anything less or more, like living for 100 yrs and all). Because I had read it somewhere, That normally, People keep on making mistakes in half of their lives and rest of their lives, They just pay for those mistakes which they have made earlier in their lives. That's the reason why I guess that the second half of the life will be better as I have already started paying for the mistakes I made in the first half my life and now I am free to make many more as those mistakes will not be able to catch hold of me and I won't have to pay for them,,,,Hurray.....
Also on a serious note, Life is a constant learning process, However I have learned the basics of life (again I am being too optimistic, I know.) So far and even if I have to pay for the mistakes I have made, I guess life itself has taught me how to deal with it.
So three cheers to “Half Life”......
And after a wonderful "Half Life", I would like to talk about another thing which is as it's best when it's half and that is "Night", "Half Night".
For youngsters, Night starts when it's half passed and no matter if you are sitting with friends, Girlfriend or simply lonely..that's the best time to do what you are good at. For example if you like talking and getting into a debate or something, that's the time when you can find all the vents of you mind open. and as mentioned earlier we don't need a full night to utilize it (in any possible way). it's just the second half which gives you the real groove. Writers get most incredible writing idea, Painters get most colorful visions and countless number of beds get broken from 00:00 to 04:00 Hrs due to some really passionate making out sessions( i've googled it and found this 'bed breaking' stats, though i did not contribute). Jokes apart but the second half of the night is the time when one really gets to know and does excatly what one wants, Because most of the time we don't do what we want to do but just do what we have to do and this second half of the night just lets you follow your heart, desires, passions and ambitions.
Then comes the "BIG ONE"... Love Story or "Half Love stories", Here when i say "Half Love stories", It also means "incomplete love stories" and unlike the "Night", Love stories and more enjoyable and memorable in the first half because in the later part there are only two possibilities...first and most likely there will be a "break up" and in the worst scenario the story might end up in the wedding ceremony of the couple. Reason why i am saying that the first half is better because when you get into a relationship or looking to get into a relationship, Everything seems really wonderful and majestic. Like writing love letters...oops i am sorry, i meant chatting on phone all night, going to CCD, watching movies and discussing about the endless possibilities of the future. Along with that, There are extreme amount of fun in just looking for a chance to touch, kiss and hug. In the beginning girl never dislikes when her man talks to some other chic and tries to magnetize him with more passion and expression of love but later on she wants to be the only girl in her partner's life (which is not wrong) but this time not with passion or love but by sheer force. Same with boys as in the beginning they just don't stop calling their love all day and night but slowly and gradually, Even replying to their text becomes a headache for them. So all in all, We create so many sweet memories in the first half of a "Love Story", But we bitterly regret for those memories in the later part.
(above mentioned feelings i have taken from the post "the break up" from my friend, aman's blog www.amanandlifeaajkal.blogspot.com as unfortunetly i did not come across any of these things during my love story, So i never knew what was the majority up to, thanks to aman.)
Now some more interesting stuffs.....
"Half Asleep".....That's awesome coz when you are completely slept... you are dead..as simple as that. Because you don't get to know how badly you wanted to sleep and how well are you sleeping. When you are half asleep, Means you are neither slept nor awake, But you really want to sleep but due to some positive or negative reason you are anable to do so, Even if you are in this stage for 10 minutes, every second you think how badly you need to sleep and during these 10 minutes, few seconds you'll be awake and then again you are slept for few seconds. few people (including me) even see dreams in installments. sometimes a nap of 5 minutes relaxes you much more than a full sleep of 8 Hrs (tested and verified at so many offices and lecture rooms).
"Half Cigarrette"...yes my friends, It's an experience which only a smoker can understand. You have just taken your lunch or dinner, Or just finished a beer or just had fight with somebody on the phone and all you want to do is "Smoke"..you rush to a shop or if you are lucky and farsighted then you take out one from you pocket and just don't like watching a full cigarette, wihtout any delay you light it. after few puffs you feel much relaxed and then you look at that "half cigarrette" and silently thanks to it One more thing, which has happened with me manier times, I am out of cigarettes , not feeling to go out and get one, I look here and there but unable to find one, i look up and down, in the drawer, in the almirah, in the kitchen, even under the pillow but failed to find one.. then all of a sudden, i rush to the rubbish bin and near that i found a "half" burnt cigarette, thrown by myself earlier in the day , and believe me it becomes a saviour for me..
Getting "Half Drunk".....That's a magical experience.. you are not that drunk to fall asleep neither less to behave normally, It's just you and your thoughts without any fence of formality inbetween. that's when you start talking what you really feel, Without thinking about what impact it will make on the listener, you get vocal, expressive and as casual as one can be, but still you don't cross the limit and keep on saying "ye mat soch ki main peekar bol raha hu".sometimes you call your very old friend and tell him that you still miss him/her or call a very close friend with whome you meet daily and tell him him that u never liked him.At times you even call your ex and check if she is okay now, but beware of this instance, if she is okay then don't go for more drink coz you might end up, making another call to her and abusing her for being extra adaptive in her life.
Apart from these above mentioned thing, there are few more things which are best, when they are half, However i will not elaborate on them and leave it to you to let me if you like them "full" or "half". well other nice "half" things are:-- Girl's dresses, First half of Michael Doulglas' movies, Bike's half seat (only if shared with a nice hot chic) and last but can not be least...a half ORGASM...
I've tried and mentioned what i feel in bits and pieces, however the motive benind writing this post is a decision which i have made. Decision to fall in complete love with so many incomplete things around, Because most of us, most of the times incompletely love only the complete things but if we start to love the imcomplete things around with complete honesty, then i guess the world be a real "complete"place to live..
Cheers....
Dude you really got me in the last para. I think I've gone "Half" mad reading your post and will go "Full" once I read mine :-)
