A love story….. A story, which makes you, think about “True Love”


Heard many love stories in my entire life. Cleopatra/Mark Anthony, Leila/Majnun, Shah Jahan/Mumtaz,  also Romeo & Juliet. There has been a story for each and every couplet, but Romeo & Juliet story has been a viral between everyone, especially among teenagers.

“Love is a smoke raised with the fume of signs;
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes;
Being vexed, a sea nourished with loving tears.
What is it else? A madness most discreet,
A choking gall, and a preserving sweet.
- William Shakespeare

The madness of love they extremely dinged inn.  But they never thought they would die for each other, as they loved. As we all love to have a better end of a story.  But, this has been a tragic even after they have been loved purely, deeply and madly. It’s an ache.

I do remember how many times I read each and every line of the poet of Shakespeare in his play. Could you ever believe, if someone can sacrifice and denied themselves for someone they truly love? Their love was smoke made out of lovers’ signs. The fire is burning flame of their eyes. The ocean seems like the tears they cried to one another. What else could be they feel as LOVE? Once you love someone, it’s a madness you would never want to lose that person from your life.

This love story won’t end any day.  As they lived their stories alive, still there are couplets that are willing to make their stories alive. At the beginning of the 14th Century Romeo & Juliet story began alive again. People started visiting the Juliet’s chamber. The balcony was the significant place among all. I had the opportunity to visit her place with my bare eyes. 

Lovers and teenagers started believing they could get a blessing out of bronzed vexed Juliet’s statue in the corridor. I had to believe it too. Blessing for who don’t have a lover. Blessings for lovers who are in love, for they love to be like Romeo & Juliet’s love.  By 2008 the city started getting letters addressed to Juliet from all over the world. Finally, all these stories became movies as, “Letter’s to Juliet”. This story has been a history. And it’s going to be a mystery of tomorrow.


Love story.  A story has no end.  And, it keeps writing ….
