Do u believe in soul mates????????

Soul mate is someone with whom one has a feeling of deep and natural affinity, Love , intimacy and compatibility.
One theory of soulmates, presented by ancient Greek philosopher Plato's Symposium, is that humans originally consisted of four arms, four legs, and a single head made of two faces, but Zeus feared their power and split them all in half, condemning them to spend their lives searching for the other half to complete them. Over countless reincarnations, each half seeks the other. When all karmic debt is purged, the two will fuse back together and return to the ultimate.
when we feel safe enough to open our selves, our truest self steps out and we can be completely and honestly who we are. a soul mate is someone who loves us for who we are and for who we are pretending to be, our soul mate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. "our soul mate is the one who makes life come to life".
But now the question is, in this day and age are we able to spend enough time to search for our soulmate? or do u think that we are destined to find our soul mates with out any effort on our parts ? and the most important question is how are we going to recognize our Soul mate when we come across them ?
Many people probably already are with their soulmates and simply don't realise it. The danger in believing in the concept of soul mates is taking your relationship for granted. if you think that everything in your relationship should immediately click, and that there won't be any problems, you are setting yourself up for a dose of heavy disillusionment. If you think that marrying your soul mate will mean a life free from hard times and conflict, you are not facing reality.
If you really want to find your soul mate then you shouldn't take your relationship for granted, you need to find a person who you are compatible with and for this to happen you have to find yourself first coz "You can't find your soul mate if you haven't found yourself".

Is there Romance in our life???????

What exactly do u think Romance is?
Do u think there is romance in our daily life? in between running for work , gropping for survival in the fast paced world of technology and working hard to fulfill our's and somebody else's dreams, are we able to take out a little time for romance ? This is the biggest question posed to the people of today who spend most of their time with a computer rather than with people around them. "Romance and Romantics"Most people think these words are better left in books rather than use in real life and some think this is girly stuff. Shouldn't a guy be Romantic ? Is a Macho guy with big muscles considered UnRomantic ? As they say "it is difficult to judge a person by the way he looks" in the same way it is difficult to recognize a romantic in you. Everybody has a romantic Lurking inside of them, it comes out with the right person at the right time. Everybody has a varied opinion on Romance, Most of them think Romance is sending a bouquet of Red Roses, having a cndle light dinner in expensive restraunts and writing love poems. Do u really think this is romance? I don't think so. Romance is not defined by how big the bouquet is ? or How expensive the Restraunt is? it is defined by how much you care for your loved ones and how well you could express it. Expressing doesn't mean showering them with expensive gifts but showing them some affection, appreciating them whenever they have done something good and most imoportantly spending some time with them. so in this cyberage spending some time with your loved ones even if it is in a fast food joint is as romantic as spending a moonlit night on a beach or having a candle light dinner. There is no specific way in which you can define a Romantic or Romance, anyone can be a Romantic but they just have to be a little expressive and a little creative.
