Ajeeb dastaan hai yeh!!! (Strange is this story!!)

I have to tell you this joke-just found it too phunnieee--

Camila,Duchess of Cornwall bought new shoes for her wedding. During the big day they became increasingly tighter and tighter as the day went on.

That night, when the festivities were finally over and they retired to their room, she flopped on the bed and said, "Charles, darling,please remove my shoes,my feet are killing me....!

Her ever-obedient Prince of Wales attacked her right shoe with vigour, but it would not budge. "Harder!" yelled Camila, "harder".Charles yelled back:"I'm trying ,darling! but its just so bloody tight!"

"Come on! give it all you've got!"she cried. Finally, when it released, Charles let out a big groan and Camila exclaimed, "there! oh, god,that feels so good!"

In their bedroom next door, the Queen said to Prince Philip, "see! i told you with a face like that, she had to be a virgin!"

Meanwhile, as Charles tried to remove her left shoe, he cried, "oh,god,darling! this ones even tighter!"at which Prince Philip said to the Queen, "that's my boy! he served in the navy:once a Rear Admiral,always a Rear Admiral!" ha!ha!ha!

By the way never understood Charles obsession with Camila! I mean what exactly did he see in her?? She's neither very pretty nor very sophisticated. In fact find her quite horsey ,manly, withered and jaded and she doesn't seem to be very warm or fun loving either. I find her dress sense pretty atrocious too!Yet Charles loved her for decades and decades and all this while she was married to someone else and had her own platoon of kids!!! He craved for her,lusted for her,adored her,worshipped her and married her the first chance that he got!!!! I guess love is blind!

It becomes even more mystifying when you consider that he was married to Diana! Unarguably one of the most elegant,beautiful,sophisticated women in the world!!She had this sparkle and magic to her! She was almost ethereal and frankly it wasn't just about her beauty , it was also about what she as a royal and human-being  stood for! She helped countless causes and charities-in fact was more renowned for all the charitable and social work that she did then for the parties she attended or the jewels she wore! She travelled to the troubled spots of the world helping various causes. She i am sure, lit up every room that she walked into but so sad and tragic that she could never light up Prince Charles heart!! She bore him an heir and a spare, she put up with all the royal non-sense and bullshit,she became the queen of hearts of all and sundry yet was never accepted and loved by the very family that she was married into!!

My point being that you can be everything that you ever aspire to be yet you cant force someone to love you or care for you. It's all your destiny and your karma. You can have the world falling at your feet, you can try to be the best person that you are capable of being but when it doesn't click with that special someone ( special in your eyes!)/your partner, it just doesn't.What to do? It's all a case of a square leg trying to fit into a round hole. However hard you push and tug and struggle, it ain't happening honey!!So all the tears that you shed, you shed alone-theres nobody around to wipe them for you and all the heart-break you experience is yours alone to bear. You have to apply your own ointment /balm and also do your own bandaging. Wallowing in self pity doesn't help either-its so bloody boring and nonconstructive and frankly for how long can you do it!!

You cant be a Meena Kumari all your life-drinking yourself silly, getting puffy eyes ,putting on weight and waiting for bloody Dharmender to show up at your door to do a waltz with you when in reality hes romancing Hema Malini somewhere and bonking her right ,left and center!!

Sorry for digressing as usual! Got distracted by Meena Kumari! There's some sad song of her's playing on the idiot box. Anyway lets get back to the subject of love/ longing/rejection,so the best option instead of fighting and agonising and blaming, is just to reconcile with the indifference and lack of affection/feeling. Accept it and go with the flow. I guess we cant get everything in life. To quote Ghalib, "kisi ko mukamil jahaan nahi milta, kahin zameen toh kahin aasman nahi milta." Or if acceptance is not up your alley have the balls to make a change and alter your life's course! But frankly that's easier said than done because sometimes like they say there's just too much water under the bridge and just too many investments have been made in terms of time span/life's span,emotions,feelings,experiences and other associated people/family and so on and so forth.

I know i am beginning to sound like some third grade agony aunt now, so will conclude by saying that, without further ado lets  make a pledge to ourselves to be happy...to do things that bring us joy,to be with people who make us smile...life's so bloody short...no point in just whiling it away...all too soon we will be old and wrinkled...so lets have a party while we still can! Like the saying goes, that when God closes a door, he opens up a window somewhere ,so folks go find that window and once you find it,open it fully ,revel in it and then take a large gulp of fresh air and smile!!! You have one life and you owe it to yourself to be happy and only you are responsible for it!!! So go seek your happiness my friend/s and God bless!

By the way, i am neither Camila nor Diana nor Meena Kumari  or Hema Malini in the current scheme of things!! I am just an interested/observant third party looking in and commenting on relevant state of affairs!! This clarification is necessary for all my overly nosy,curious and definetely well-meaning friends!! Love you all!! Toodles!!
