Innocent world of Maamis
"Gone are the days of love,
The times of innocent bliss.
Chatting for hours on absurd topics,
Being with each other despite distances.
Wish to go back in time,
To treasure what was mine!"
One fine evening, the above thoughts came to DK Maami's head while she was on her way back home from office. Brooding over the past is her favourite time pass activity. Recently when SR Maami also shared some old stories with DK Maami at a luncheon meeting, both of them started wondering how far ahead have they traveled from their starting point in life. Those were the days of complete ignorance and simplicity. Maamis were away from the crudeness and rudeness of people, to the extent that SM Maami had to look for the meaning of "Asshole" in dictionary after having taken some days to understand the pronunciation of the word. They didn't bother about their appearance or style quotient. All that was important was performing well in academics that could help them to fulfill their parents' expectations.
"Love" as of the form as was used by people of their age group was beyond their domain of understanding. They believed in loving their kith and kins but didn't want to venture into this lesser known adventure as their elders' tips influenced them - "this is not the right age to get into this; this would unnecessarily distract you from studies!" They went by these advices without knowing that these advices simply are an escape route for our elders from playing the crucial role of a counselor and friend in times of emotional crisis. And some elders just want their children to obey them for their lifetime than making their own decisions. So, Maamis did possess the usual human emotions/feelings and did get attracted by the opposite sex but somehow drove away these thoughts to keep themselves focused on their goals.
And now, things have drastically changed. Maamis give attention to details in terms of their attire and accessories. They indulge in loose talks (but only with good friends) and openly discuss taboo issues. And surprisingly, both eagerly await falling (not failing, ofcourse) in love! Strange is the way the circumstances just change. But our Maamis are still the same at heart - pure!

There's a time, there's a time,
Time for summer and for snow,
Time for love to grow,
And to end in lonely tears
There's a place I adore
That I fear I'll see no more
I will see no more
Though I live for a hundred years
There's a time for losing all you want
And a time for traveling on
But the hurt in my heart,
It goes on from day to day,
Will not go away,
Keeps on longing for what's gone
There's a time, there's a time
When a love is young and new
Heaven's painted blue
When we lay in the summer grass
For a time, for a time,
You were so in love with me
So, how was I to see
That the summer would pass?
Now, you ride the ocean, chase the stars
Underneath some far-away sky
And the hurt in my heart
Knows you're never coming home,
Never coming home
Till the day the sea runs dry
In my dreams, in my dreams,
You have left yourself behind
You caress my mind
When the nights grow dark and chill
Vagabond, vagabond
Always traveling beyond,
Where's the magic wand
That will bring you nearer still?
There's a time for holding to your dreams
And a time for starting anew
But the hurt in my heart,
It goes on from day to day,
Never goes away
For it's all I have left of you

don't worry dear.. the right time shall come when both maamis shall meet their true match.
i assure u, the same has been the plight from adolescence to adulthood of at least one person i knw ;)
But after reading your blog, I realised that the maamis of 2010 contribute to the ultra-development of our country...
three cheers to maamis!
