Neha and Smita had been friends since childhood. They had been best buddies since forever. Staying in an apartment in Kolkata, they both practically grew up together. Certain bonds in this world are truly unexplainable. How we naturally connect to an unknown person all of a sudden is truly touching. That first meeting in a classroom maybe empty, or full of unknown people, is absolutely magical. When Neha was four years old, she was an absolute introvert. The little girl could hardly converse with people. Whenever she saw someone her age, she would automatically get quiet all of a sudden.
Neha’s eyes met that of a girl, who was sitting on the first bench. She was an extrovert. Her eyes were as sparkly as a new piece of marble. Her black hair was neatly tied into a braid, oily as anything. As oily as a fried food, her hair looked oily. Neha’s hair was naturally curly. Her hair was short in stature. The girl’s name was Smita. Smita Roy was from an affluential family in Kolkata. Her dad was a big industrialist. However, she was a very simple person. Ten years from that incident, they both were young teenagers.
Neha loved to write poetry, since a very young age. Her love for literature increased with her age. She mainly composed love poems, or poems based on nature. On the contrary, her best friend loved writing short stories. She was a literary companion to her best friend. They both would often sit together to write lyrical compositions. Their love language was literary exchange. Literary exchange is not merely about composing poems and stories.
Literature is an integral part of our existence as well. Some love stories are not typical, but out of the world in a way in terms of the relationship dynamics. A bond of pure friendship is truly precious. In an era where communication is gradually decreasing, the perfect communication is something which is really crucial. Being a person who finds it difficult to communicate may not find it really easy to talk with people they are meeting for the first time. A gap in any kind of communication leads to a lacking relationship. Every relationship in the current era is something which needs some kind of confirmation with regards to its validity. Validity is quintessential everywhere.
Love does not have any particular type or kind. It is something which just exists in all forms and varieties. Romantic love is the most common type of love which can be seen to be prevalent throughout the society and the world as a matter of fact. Platonic bonds refer to bonds between parents and children, friends and siblings.
Although there is a slight difference between familial love and platonic love, it is related in a different and unique manner. This inter relationship between these two types of love is really complex in nature, and as it is said, love has the power to heal everything at the earliest.
Self-love is one of the biggest forms of love which is prevalent in current times. Love towards one’s self is something which should be practiced by each and every individual. Learning to love oneself is important to love others too.
After all, self-perception forms the core of our existence. We look at ourselves, and then at the world around us. Social perception of the self comes way later, and is not even significant as a matter of fact. Social perception is purely shaped by the society and social norms. Love is the way to go , for the world to function normally .
