I was 16, he was 17. It was as if my heart would spontaneously decide to bungee jump every time he dimpled in my direction. Without a safety harness, that too. Obviously, our brains and bodies were being attacked by hormones from every direction. He had managed to finagle a DVD of the film from a video library. R-rated English film DVDs were hard to come by in those days. Then came the harder part of procuring a laptop with a DVD slot. He spent a month\u2019s pocket money in holding on to it until we could work out the kinks of our romantic plans. A friend took pity and opened up her home to us. There would be hell to pay for, if her parents found out that a boy had sneaked into the home while they were at work. They didn\u2019t, thankfully. Love was hard, in those days. It required effort, meticulous planning, fairy godmothers and a great deal of risk-taking.

Nora Ephron\u2019s masterpiece \u2014 I truly believe that between <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Harry Met Sally<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleepless In Seattle<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Julie and Julia<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Ephron has said everything that needed to be said about the kind of love most of us are yearning for without always knowing it \u2014 swirls in the corners of your brain long after lofty ideas of love have left the building. Harry and Sally\u2019s unlikely <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/love-and-sex\/love-struck-romance-airport\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">romance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tale stands the test of time not because of an animalistic attraction, but because of the tango of words and the very right kind of silences they find themselves locked in, from the very start. Wonder schlongs are all well and good, but when you\u2019re bawling in the middle of the night over the ex who finds his forever in the person who comes right after you \u2014 oh, the wretchedness of realising that their \u201ctransitional person\u201d is actually The One \u2014 you need someone who can tell you you\u2019re challenging, not difficult. And mean it. It\u2019s a special kind of magic when the person you can argue all night long with over who should have stayed with whom at the end of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Casablanca<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the same person you can sit with contentedly, without having to talk.

Sometimes, the road to love is not so much filled with obstacles as it is meandering. Nothing can be standing in the way, and it can still take two people 11 years to click into place. To realise that they\u2019re meant to be. That they were always meant to be.
