Through the Highs and Lows of an emotionally driven mind

So, when and where did love begin?

Long long ago …. I mean, really really long long ago, before mankind became the predominant form of two-legged existence, before the concept of using a calendar to calculate time was yet to be conceived, there was a quiet little town called Hobbitsville somewhere in the middle of what is now Scotland which  was inhabited by the quiet and rather selfish hobbits that made a living through trades that revolved around corn. Some were farmers, some were mill constructors, some were mill workers, some were exporters and some were corn stealers!Life at Hobbitsville was quite smooth and contented for the passive onlooker. But that was until Gandalf arrived.

At a rather youthful stage when he was just about able to grow a beard, Gandalf was no where near his famous Grey self. In fact he was young and supple and moved so fast that the hobbits nicknamed him QuickSilver!

Gandalf’s ,favorite house was the one where the family of the Pans lived… Their eldest member, Peter-pan was a legend in his own right and it was Gandalf who brought him to get in touch with the fairies… Ever since Peter and Gandalf got together, the coming of the wizard always made the hobbits a touch nervous.

The custom of the Hobbit families was to attach the family name after the member’s name if he was male and before the member’s name if it were a she. Hence oldest member ,Peter was called Peter- pan and the youngest member, Dora was called… Pan-dora!!

This time around, Gandalf brought with him a huge trunk. He met his old buddy Peter and told him to keep the trunk in his house for a while till he returns to take it to the Gods of the worlds above.

“Keep it secret, Keep it safe.” Gandalf said. At no cost should the box be opened. He left Hobbitsville and the rest of the world to its doom and carried on his quick feet on yet another of his unknown and unfailingly mysterious journeys.

But the young girl Pan-dora was no Frodo Baggins! She was so enchanted by the box that she often came close to it and observed the carvings on the box.  She often thought she heard voices inside the box. But Peter had strictly said that none must open the box and Pan-dora would not dare to disobey the head of the family.

One cannot change what has already been written…..Pan-dora fell prey to her curiosity and opened the box.

Out flew the magic of love….and along with it the beautiful feeling of belonging, of caring, sharing, kindness, openness and a lot more of emotions that filled up Pan-dora’s heart with the light of joy, so bright that she felt it would make her heart explode and fill the whole of hobbitsville with the wonderful spirit of love .

The box made yet another noise, and Pan-dora hesitated less than a second to reopen it again.Oh, the greedy nature of the little young girl!

Out flew the emotions of deceit, hate, heart breaks, lies, ego, misunderstanding, misrepresentation and infidelity. It filled Pan-dora’s room with gloom and darkness which made the little girl to cry.

Everywhere Love went, Hate followed … But love was kind and hence returned to heal the hearts of all those who were affected and hurt…..thus starting the Yin and the Yang of the cycle of falling in love and failing in love and falling in love again!

{ Gandalf was so angry with the Pans and broke association with them. He became friends with one Bilbo Baggins of the Shire and the rest they say is History}
