I just finished watching Kal Ho Naa Ho. I was wondering why, even though most romantic movies have only two or three particular themes and are all the same wishy washy stories, they are so loved. I was wondering why they move you every single time. I was wondering why romantic books, movies, stories, even people getting engaged or married or simply getting together is such a celebrated thing in life. Why everyone enjoys a tale with a happily every after and sincerity and longevity and endurance and love even though it is so common.

And I realised that’s because no matter what age we are or where we come from, we all mostly have the same dream…of finding true love, so intense and pure and lasting. We all hold that dream close and everything in life that mirrors it, lets lose those wings of hope. True love…the eternal quest.
