"The first CRUSH !!! "


The First Connection

Crush, infatuation, attraction!

There are different facets of  “Relationships”.
Like Liquid, it doesn’t have a specific colour or shape.
It keeps moulding itself into different dimensions depending on the subject vessel.

I personally feel & believe, that the first ever self-realisation of existence of a relationship is - The First Crush.
The unexplained infatuation, the attraction…. towards someone.

Although, as soon as we are born into this world, we by default, establish many relationships –theoretically. Such as that of the son, the daughter, the mother, the father, the brother, the sister… so on & so forth.
But these relationships are there, we believe, because they are made to be.
(In a way, we can say, we are supposed to take them, consider them as granted.)

But, the very first awareness about really getting connected with someone, somehow; is the first real realisation of giving dimension to the phenomena.
This is that phase of our upbringing during which, un-warned, we get ourselves attracted, pulled towards a particular personality.


Just mere a smile or a glance, few words or deeds, intelligent smart outlook & appearance, the talent, the skill, the behaviour………..it can be anything. But the truth is, it's exciting & imbalances the physiological balance within us.

This may be the time, we start understanding,
“what does skipping a heart beat means ?”.

This may be the time that we feel a strong urge of being with that person most of the time, keep thinking about him/her or just keep looking, staring at them.

In any case, we realize that, we are into the process of establishing “a Relationship”.


This facet of relationship, radiates the glow of innocence & sweetness of kind.
It’s a relationship one feels he or she is into, but without being actually bothered or limited by any real time commitment, promises & vows.
It just exists.
It just blossoms.
It just shines.
It makes the heart happy.
It doesn’t seek any endorsement.
It’s just felt.
It’s the only type of relationship in which one feels so much related to the other person, without actually being related at all.

I feel, this experience of life, is the foundation of every other relationships we build during our journey of life.
This is true, as it helps one understand the “why” of a relationship.
It makes us aware about the changes we go through, the different moods we emote, the peculiar kind of acts and the responses we react with.


One interesting thing about this part of a relationship is , that it’s not only the first ever self realisation of a relationship, but it keeps up with the age & gets cornered, stored in the heart and keeps surfacing with the same fresh intensity & urge, at times, irrespective of a person’s biological clock.
Implies, that this facet of relationship never gets old enough to be just stored as “memory”. It remains ever fresh & ever vulnerable.

However strongly we live on or manage our important relationships in life, this face of the relationship remains as innocent & as sweet as ever.
It keeps popping up every now and then, irrespective of however strongly willed a person may be….

Hope this brings smiles to your lips and helps you to remember those lovely first time crushes………!!

  6. sanjay,
    you know the best part of thing about this relationship is that it is never a serious one... you are not committed to each other than also you care for each other.. you take out time to stand in the place where you can just have a look of that person , you tend to wear and look best for that person even though you know nothing about fashion.. you blush when you see and you tend to laugh loud even though you did 't knew a word of a joke...

    the innocence and freshness is the beauty of this relation..
    its just like a first spell of rain on a tender leaf who just don"t know what a bliss it can be.......
    beautifully written keep it up...
