The Valley of Ex-es


Ever wondered what happened to the love after you breakup? Where does it all go? Is there a place where it’s converted to hateful messages and awkward behaviour? How did he and you end up at this valley? Do we all have to face the music someday or is there really something known as a smooth breakup out there?? Can this just be another myth?

Having been through my fair share of relationships with Indian men oops…Indian boys (the ones I dated can definitely not be called men, when I say this I don’t mean physically but there mental age).I can hypothetically propose the opinion that they may make good boyfriends but lousy ex-boyfriends. I started rather late on this “bf-path”, my first actual relationship, can have said to begun in my first year of post-graduation (: P… I was busy studying before that.). A typical (extra) tall, dark Indian guy, things were fine till I began to see no future because of the apparent mismatch in all possible ways(PS: even physically I’m 5’2”, healthy and wheatish) I decided it was time to AXE this relationship before things got too serious(believe it or not you guys always do). This decision of mine made all hell break loose, and then was followed by the series of predictable male homoerectus indiana behaviour, which I like to call the ‘AOS (AXED OUT SYNDROME)’. The symptoms of which are astonishingly long and grammatically incorrect messages and mails, calls at hours when one should be sleeping (if not otherwise pre-occupied ;)… ), linking you with any male name that you could have ever possibly mentioned from saif ali khan( sorry kareena.. but wow good catch) to the newspaper guy(I’m too sleepy in the morning to even notice that it was a guy!!!), ranting about how you are a BITCH to mutual friends, who truly are the casualties of war because the cant agree or disagree and hence have to fall prey to the vocabularily challenged disease called the ‘HMM SYNDROME’.
Well I have personally experienced both ends extensively of the ‘bitched to & bitched about party’ so has good knowledge of what gets said and done. However, it would be harsh of me to judge such an exponentially large and varied number of Indian men cause of  just because of one person.
Passing through my days I met a guy that defied the holy law of break-up by Indian men. It seemed an entirely new species had been born, why isn’t this fastly diminishing species being protected and conserved??? (PS: im an environmental science student). He was an (extra) cute tall engineering guy. When I broke up with him(reasons unnecessary*). I was all ready for the mental 3rd degree torture of the highest level, him being a guy from it-bhu (PS: to the girls- ‘guys from here are not only a catch but wow cute.. n hell hot , phew!!). But he turned out to be a revolutionary not in any field of science but in the field of break-up and things were back to surprisingly normal in not more than a day and now we are friends(yes.. its possible). So I guess this ‘smooth breakup thingy’ may in real exist!!!

So the hypothesis could be that: the love isn’t lost but merely transformed from one form to another, like energy in the first law of thermodynamics.
I guess there is a system of measurement through which you can easily convert the love to hate (incomplete conversion) or love to friendship (complete conversion). This system of measurement depends on the individual species of men you are dating. I cannot say how your break-up episode maybe but what I can surely say is that no two would ever be the same. So just because one relationship went ugly is not reason for all too get dirty.
So my dear dear girls, date and date well, and you never know you may just find your MR.RIGHT on the road to BREAK UP ALLEY..
Result: a smooth break up is not a myth but getting one easily is.
