Ever wondered what would have happened in F.R.I.E.N.D.S if Chandler Bing's ever sarcastic mouth wouldn't have slipped in time to let Rachel know about Ross's crush on her?
If not for that 'palat' in DDLJ, How would have Raj ever realized that Simran was already heads over heels in love with him?
Where would have the story of Pretty Woman headed to if Edward wouldn't have taken a detour on Hollywood Boulevard to ask for directions and run into Vivian?
Moving towards the classic fairy-tales:
What if Cinderella wouldn't have been clumsy enough to leave her glass slipper at the steps of her Prince Charming's palace?
How would have that frog-prince managed hopping around for the rest of his gloopy life if that gorgeous princess hadn't frenched him?
Well, if it would have been the other way round for these epic stories then I think I wouldn't have ever had this beautiful fantasy of 'Happily Ever-Afters'. But now that the damage was done, here I was- two and a half decades old, wondering if I had already missed out on that one defining moment which could have spun a 'happily ever-after' to my crippled tale of endless renunciation of love life.
Frankly speaking, I trusted my party-pooper self to wear strapped shoes to a ball and also manage shooing the frog away with a cane stick- None of which could ever culminate into my much fancied Happy Ending.
With a couple of bizarre crush stories from my embarrassing teenage years as my most claimed experience in romance (I don't think it counts, but anywho), I was absolutely certain that I had already dismissed my 'the one' with a snide remark, thus goofing up my destined moment of lost slippers or kisses with perfection.
But, I was completely oblivious to the fact that,
It doesn't always have to be a glass slipper or a kissing frog. Sometimes it takes a loopy, little hullabaloo!
