What is in a realtionship ????

I closed the book , and looked up ..it had been a boring dull day .Just like the previous 15 days that had sunk into oblivion. But the book seems to have stirred some strong emotions in me. Erich Segals "Doctors" , well am not going to elaborate the feelings i experienced when every medical malady was intensely described or rather about those complex pshycatric sensations the author had penetrated into, all those details would have been apt if i were to be giving a review of tis bok in particular.
It were the last lines of the book that had me thinkin
"what cures a disease ? the miracle medicine? a chinese cure? parents love? . for a miracle is still unexplained by medicine"

A miracle? hmmm now that is what struck a chord in me... i wondered is not every relation we build in this world a miracle by itself?

And yet again how is the intensity of any relationship defined?
Does time warrant ot obligate a person to stay intense in a relationship...a kid may be the world to his'/her parents but is it necessary for the kid to feel the same intensity ????
Strangely though am sure when the child grows up he would shed all his life and love on his kids.. but why do parents expect that the same to be given back to them? of course am against those ungrateful wretches who abandon thier parents to lonely lifes, but my question is ..is it wrong to love some one more??? I am not talking about loving anyone less , is it wrong or felony to love someone 'more'? . We are all bond in a delicate web of relationships, each part of us acts as someone to someone ...
U could be someones neighbor,someonez child,someonez uncle,somenez crush and yes to dramatically phrase it 'someonez world!'...i try expecting nothing in return from any relationship,its tough but atleast i brace myself for the worst. To me to expect any human to stay commited forever in a single mold is foolishness! and we dont either, we are someones daughter ,wife ,mom,grandmum ..we keep changing our roles in society in short our relationship around us.It seems inevitable but is for our own best!
And yet we seldom realise what a miracle it is to have someone to share our life with, the other day i was travelling in a coach back to chennai from tiruchy amd a gal was sitting next to me.She was about our age and we just started talking, we had so many things in common,for starters she hated AC coaches! and she suffered from insomnia when she travelled on buses (wow ! jus like me!) we started talkin on hostel life and how tough it was to leave that kind atmosphere. She even bought me a cup of coffee , jus coz i said i seemed to have a headache!!! now thatz caring enough ! , we chatted for a couple of hours then our seats were re arranged and i went back to sit near dad. The rest of our journey was spent in silence .I waved her goodbye and got down at mambalam.
It was only then i realised "i never asked her name!! and neither did she!!!", well what was this?, we had shared a few moments of each others lifes , we had built a bond ...this was a miracle to me ..how do we build relationships? why this girl in particular? why should i have even met her?
strange aint it?
Hmmm these miracles are something wihch will occur to us through out our lives ..some will go away jus like these train journeys and others are here to stay..whatever they may be ..the best i guess would be to cherish each of this miracle!!!!.....

"Dont cry that it all ended ,feel happy that it had happened"
-ahem i messed this proverb a bit!
