Danielle Steel !! I've been reading her books and gotta say she's amazing at taking you through the length and breadth of a relationship..any relationship..b/n mother and daughter/son, father and daughter/son and more importantly between a man and a woman. The intensity of a relationship with all its glories and pitfalls is beautifully portrayed with occasional peeps into the protagonists' pasts and is intertwined with other couples and the parallels each draws from the other....or the journey of two different people in quest for that "perfect someone". I can't help but notice a common thread that seems to hold the central plot in quite a lot of her novels- its what I'd like to call as the "back-hurting-knife-syndrome"-which goes typically like...when the right guy comes along finally, you have the guts to say "no thanks, iam married". :)) ROFL. But reading her books practically changed my entire attitude towards love and relationships. It's not what seems to be that matters. Period.

Anyway, I also happened to watch 2 movies which showed 2 extremities of love- complete letting go of the person you love (or so you thought; like in My Best Friends Wedding) and the other one of hope and that of dreams coming true (as in Enchanted). But the many doubts in my mind are left unanswered.....or may be all these threw me into a bigger confusion when none existed in the beginning..oh, for the quest to know "what is "love" " !!!!
