Since music is my passion the thought entered my mind that I wanted to make a neat collection of my favorite songs in english, hindi and tamil; separately. I haven’t come any where near to recording at least quarter of my favorites in one language. Sigh. What a difficult job this is.
However this blog is not about music and the lengths I go to ensure I have a steady supply of music to last me a lifetime. This blog is on a song I came upon after a very long time. To say that Abba's Winner takes it all, is a poignant reminder of the harsh game of love, is an understatement. I have been hearing that song time and again over the past couple of weeks and each time I thank my lucky stars that I have not lost a man to another woman...mabbe coz I chickened out of relationships even before they got a chance to prosper.
I don’t seem to remember coming across any friend too who has suffered the pain of losing a loved one to someone else. What was one supposed to think through all that pain and tears? How was one to convince herself that the entire fault could not be laid at her door? Does the one who leave explain why the relation didn’t work? Was one entitled to an explanation or was it considered 'bad' etiquette to ask why she had failed? Particularly hurting is a situation when one finds out that a loved one has left her for another girl when the relation is still ‘on’. To have loved and lost than not to have loved at all is a popular saying. It doesn’t really sound that positive to me now when I think of the pain involved. I dunno how many are there out there who have had such an experience. If so then I empathize with you and I commend your tolerance.
