Love and Other Disasters !!!

Yesterday I happened to stumble across a movie CD and decided to watch it…… for its name said “Love and Other Disasters” , what a wonderful name…….. and it was worth a watch….. for everyone who think of “True Love”…

It’s the story of a Gal ‘Emily’ who is too practical to fall in love and too immature to still think her knight in the shining armour will come soon to sweep her away with the first real kiss of love…….
In the whole process she meets a young man Paolo(colleague) and makes friends instantly , but the poor chap falls in love immediately and everytime they meet his love for her intensifies……..
Finally one day he proposes in a one of the most weird cirumstances (you need to watch it to know how weird the cirumstance was) ……

Later Emily decides somethinng :
“ Emily : I'm not so sure. Love isn't always a lightning bolt, you know? Maybe sometimes it's just a choice. That's just it. I don't know that Paolo's the love of my life, but I've decided to give him the chance to be. Maybe true love is a decision. You know, a decision to take a chance with somebody. To give to somebody. Without worrying wether they'll give anything back. Or if they're gonna hurt you, or if they really are the one. Maybe love isn't something that happens to you. Maybe it's something you have to choose. “

How many of us actually decide to give someone a chance….
In India it’s a lil common I will say when parents find us a match and we decide to give them 6 months to fall in love and then 6 months to decide if it’s the True Love which we were looking for all this while in our life….
But my question is do we give a chance bcoz we really want to ? or
bcoz we have no say in front of our parents decision ?

Now if you say its not the same as I am thinking then why we never gave someone a chance who already loves us…. Not 6 months but not even 6 days or 6 hrs…..
Why we just say “I am sorry but you are not the one I think about the same way”
Was it the fault of the person who loves you is that they became your friend first rather than becoming the favorite of your parents……
Is this the only fault for not getting a chance……

If I ask the question… how many of us ever got a chance and how many of us ever gave a chance…..
I would say count is still “0” both sides………
Lets see if someone does a debut......
