Soulmates

Sometimes, when you feel like you’re in love, look up, close your eyes, they say. But the first person who comes to your mind is the person you were already thinking about. It’s not a fool-proof method of finding out if you love someone, it’s a psychological phenomenon, for that person is already on your mind. And mind and ‘heart’ are separate entities(though scientifically it's the brain that is responsible for the release of dopamine, too and the heart just pumps blood; but let'sjust stick to the conventional idea for now).

What is love—or who is our soulmate, then?

That would be a subjective answer. Someone might want a person who understands even their silence. Someone else might want to be pampered all the time. And there may be another person's dream to just be Ranbir kapoor's. :D
But we then forget what kind of a person we're going to be. I mean, we have a checklist for judging our perfect partner, but where goes the self introspection? Are we're too confident to think about that?

It then sounds more like reality that soulmates are not really made in heaven, but develop their soulmate-ness over a period of time, i.e. by spending time together, by sharing their feelings with each when required and learning to decipher the silence between them, at other times. Maybe Adam and Eve would have been Adam and Stella, and, Eve and Marc if the other two existed at their time.


Nobody’s perfect. And nobody can ever be. Even the figure of god has its own set of flaws. And perfect’s boring. There should always be some room for improvement; and change, which perfect would be too perfect to be able to accommodate, right? 

And hello! Soulmates aren't compulsarily the  people you marry. It can be your mom, or your daughter, or your best friend.
 Let's just break the stereotype. Can we?

    And hey, brain doesn't realeases dopamine. It commands the fellow organs to do so. Want to go into details..?
    But yeah, commendable job like always.
