Treasures of Life

Do romance novels have anything to do to save the marriages from wreck?

Why marriages shatter and end into divorce? Why the phrase ‘I love you’ changes to ‘I hate you’? Why the pinnacle of positive approach called ‘love’ is converted to all the negative vices at once like…?

The question is complex. But the answer isn’t that intricate.

The duo gives absolute and incessant heed to the minor and negligible aspects of day to day life such as cleaning the refrigerator or putting nail polish. But, alas! The same ‘lovers’, in majority of cases, give least importance to care and save their marriages.

They have to prioritize or focus to the only mission, from the ‘day one’ to ‘day to day’ of the marriage: To keep their marriage alive, full of affection and exuberance.

Well, by negligence or indifference they dump ‘intimate relationship’, the main task of the married life in the dustbin. The ideas of the authors of romance novels can come to their assistance in restoring romance from recycle bin. From different novels, you can get various solutions of restorations, hidden between the lines of these fictions.

Generally, people do not read the books such as romantic stories or marriage manuals. As a result, they never understand the importance and for the entire life are deprived of the innumerable plays, postures and tactics to make marriage persist.

They talk and share the delicacies with good and honest friends, or seek professional counseling. But how can somebody approach or overture these benefactors every now and then? Best thing is to read and keep reading the passages from the romance novels to keep the romance alive.

If the survey is conducted to ascertain the cases of divorces, I strongly claim that the findings shall be lesser divorces in the spouses who are passionate readers of romance novels. And far lesser if both husbands and wives read the romance novels.

In the province of Love, there’s a king who doesn’t reign over the hoi polloi or the masses, but only on the heart of his queen.

And the queen rules over the heart of her king.

We read the sagas of the great sovereigns, from ancient times to date, who have created histories. They earned opulence, conquered and brought expansive territories under their dominion.

But our monarch may or may not be wealthy. He rules over small in size, (size of closed fist) but magnanimously vast empire called as Heart. In winning it, he neither goes to battle field, nor uses ammunition.

In some cases he gives in everything in order to conquer the heart. See the contradiction! An emperor, the lover in our case, while conquering the heart, gets surrendered, defeated. Yes! It looks funny. It is weird and bizarre. And hence is fascinating.

Something really strange, contradicts the common phenomenon, always catches the fancy of the people. And it overrides the volumes of historical books. That is why romance novels containing the stories of kings and queens ruling over the kingdom called ‘heart’ are loved by everyone.

The writing style of these romance novels might be illusive and full of improbable events involving characters those are different from usual populace. But the matter directly enters in the hearts of the readers. The readers try to equate themselves with the fairies or trolls, the paranormal characters to soothe their souls. And that is why people like or even crave to read romance novels.

Broadly speaking, there are two types of people in this world. Some are loyal to their spouses, some are disloyal. But majority might be reaching to their nests, and only few birds might jump from one tree to other. Well it’s my version without any supporting statistics, as stats even cannot stand true as it happens in closed four walls and its ratio varies with era, area and etcetera.

Well, leave aside the stats, but how does the romance novel play role in these two categories? Let us discuss.

First, we shall discuss the ‘loyal’ species. The loyal fellows who are always charged and under the influence of saintly virtuousness, god fearing-ness, children’s future and so called principles of life. As all the religion claim it a sin, they slander promiscuous extra marital affairs calling it adultery.

But, being human beings their body secretions too produce excess chemicals creating more emotional flutter. And for giving vent to the additional passion; to satiate their hunger, thirst or lust, the first forbidden thing is ‘perversion’ and second one is ‘peeping’ into other people’s plays through keyholes. They prefer reading different types of romance novels. These novels work as keyholes for them and these readers enjoy different scenes inside the books.

Well, the ‘disloyal’ have their own problems. In maintaining extra-marital relations, they have to refer and understand different methodologies to update their playfulness. Moreover they also want to know the versions of new games of hide-and-seek, which are found in romance novels. The reason, while indulging extras, they also want to maintain and sustain their decorative piece called as wife, as a social need or to look after the children.

Putting a man and a woman, in the pans of a pair of scales, we will find great variations in their dispositions, temperaments and characteristics. To solve the question put in the title, about romance novels,we shall try to unfold it from the basic traits.

Masculine man is robust ‘hard- ware’, whereas feminine woman is delicate ’soft-ware’. Naturally men prefer outdoor life and are bit more extrovert; and women like indoor activities and are slightly more introvert (except few….Ha! Ha! Ha!).

You can see people playing cricket or soccer, polo or poker, boxing or wrestling more than their female counterparts. When we look at the voyagers, travelers we find that the percentage of men is more.

The ticklish female gender prefer sitting on the cozy sofas, rolling-wallowing on the spongy mattresses, and wait for someone to tickle them. And when they don’t find men to do it, who are busy in their ‘outdoors’, they settle for the better option, reading.

The male versions of readers are always in hurry, or at least pretend to be in hurry. They read the books by jumping the lines, skipping the paragraphs, as if they are skimming the news papers.

Whereas the females read, reread and keep on reading the books, in the form of either hard copies or in the new version called as e-books. There are different kinds of books such as informative, descriptive, historical and geographical……and so on. Why should these women choose such type of books when they think they are already well informed?

And these women, basically lovable and romantic in nature, naturally prefer romance novels to all the varieties available in the bookshelves of book-shops. This category of novels, contain novel ideas capable of tickling the emotions of the women.

You will find right from very young to extremely old ladies cherishing the spicy stories. These women are fond of all the spicy emotions, the ones these romance writers stuff into their fictions like love, jealousy, disgust, surprise, anger or sadness.

They enjoy reading romance novels and then sharing the pieces to their hubbies, kids and buddies, as you know that these ladies can never keep anything in their bellies or bosoms

The days, I mean years, of romance novels are counted. Yeah! I do am alarming you. The authors, writing on romance, may better choose any other faculty, as an entire occupation called as ‘writing on romance’ shall be extinct.

Friends, with world recession, global economy is on the verge to collapse. And the pundits and forecasters were trying hard to give this message for decades. But none cared to listen to them. And we found that one fine morning we had to confront blood bath in almost all the markets of the world. The indices of stock, metals and commodities literally plunged down to abyss.

It was merely an effect of GLOBAL RECESSION.

Now, get ready to face the brutal and horrible consequences of GLOBAL WARMING!

For centuries reasonably cool (and reasonably warm too) globe has been providing our romantic men and women various places for their romance. Gardens, orchards, lush green lawns were maintaining ambience, and providing millions of square kilometers of area for dance and romance. With the global warming, the greenery shall be an historical environment.

Well, we are responsible for the deforestation, and consequent global warming, we will face the effects of our own blunders. Our own illegitimate, but stamped as bona fide child, named as ‘global warming’ is trying to convert entire world into a big desert. There won’t be a room for romance. Neither will there be any task left for romance writers.

This rascal ‘global warming’ is unnecessarily trying to annihilate our beautiful ice laden mountains. Why should it have started melting our lovely ice? Our romanteers, I mean mountaineers, liked the slabs of ice and its snowy surface for their skiing and skating. These games are generally played only on ice while romancing. There won’t be ice left. There won’t be a room for romance. Better wind up our role as a romance writer and seek a role as a fighter or get any so called hell of a job in any other field for our survival.

See the cruelty of this scoundrel ‘global warming’. Well it isn’t stopping there. It is religiously diverting the liquefied ice to our fascinating long beaches, by filling our coastal area with this molten ice. Rising sea level would cover all the beaches under water. There won’t be a room for romance. Better divert your writing on ‘horror’ for which, in our warm globe, you shall get profuse raw material.

My friends, it’s my earnest appeal. In the erection of concrete jungle, in the process called as progress, we destroy or have to destroy the trees, grown trees. We lose thousands of cubic meters of foliage which work as storehouses of moisture. Unless, with an extermination of every single big tree, we immediately plant few hundreds of plants to compensate the loss of moisture, we won’t be able to save our earth from the menace of global warming.

Being an author of romance novel, I beg all of you not to interfere with our nature; and if at all you have to, kindly refurnish the loss to refurbish the globe. Please, please keep and create more room for romance, which shall provide us uninterrupted supply of subjects on romance novels.

Reading romance novels
Dumb sings song, lame tries dance

Two words are synonymous
One is love, second is romance.

Loving anywhere under the sun
China, Australia or France

Any caste n creed or poor n rich
Nobody wishes to miss the chance

One who reads romance novel
Enters into a different trance

Why do people read romance novels? It is natural that such question may arise in anybody’s mind. Well, let us try to unfold the reason.

The Great Almighty carved the stone to sculpt a tough masculine structure. He made a statue of wax, by waxing it at different places, to mould into a soft feminine shape. Then he injected life and created man and woman.

Then, in order to save time and energy in the repetitive, tedious and laborious work in producing replicas, he assigned reproduction and propagation to themselves, the males and the females.

(It seems that people took the assignment too seriously. And what we see is the earth getting overburdened with the excessive population. Unlike the hazards of industries, men forgot to wage a strike and to observe red-tape, go-slows….and etcetera in their ‘cot’tage industries)

However, when He found that the assignment turned extremely monotonous, He invented and tried newer chemicals to develop love and to make their lives interesting. The variation in the doses of the chemical of love produced romance of different concentrations.

To teach them art of romancing, He deputed the professionals called as authors of romance novels. Then the new breed of authors rolled up their sleeves to write the ‘How to’ type of books in the faculty of love and romance, applying their imagination and creativity.

It’s His wish that all human beings should read the romance novels, equip themselves with latest techniques conceived and delivered by those authors and enjoy lives.

Before scanning the volumes of romance novels, slice the globe into the small segments, both horizontal and vertical. Carefully study the countries and the communities on every rectangular block in context of romance. You will be surprised with the findings. At any part of the world, the only mission of the mankind at large is to dream of and to crave for love and romance of opposite gender.

Since the era of aborigines, Billions or zillions of males and females came into existence and extinction. If we heedfully study the basic characteristics of the human beings from primitive to modern age, we draw the same inference. At any period in the chronology of existence of human beings, all have worshiped love. Understand the sovereignty of love, passion and romance between man and woman.

As narrated above, on the graph of space and time, algorithm proves the supremacy of love. And here one can understand the craze and importance of the love affairs described in the beautiful romance novels.

Well, in these novels, the dishes of the relationship between two lovers are served in humorous stories, tragic tales or blood blotter episodes. In some cases three or more people enter into the relationship, and bring magnanimity or promiscuity, to make the dish spicy or sour.

These romance novels entertain the readers, and gently teach them the rules of the game of love making and induce them to experiment different recipes on their own.

Had the sequence of life been as bland as described below; no romance novels would have ever written or read.

As a male baby and female child, two genders gradually develop into the adulthood at their respective parent’s homes. They meet, date and get married to consummate. They earn their livelihood, bear and bring up children, grow old and finally perish.

No. Incidentally, life is neither this simple and fortunately, nor that monotonous. The main ’sudden’ or ‘unexpected’ factor adds or deducts the charm. Sudden ups and downs, sudden turns and bumps, sudden exit of either of the spouses, sudden entry of co-partners makes the lives bumpy-jumpy. And in this course, the lovers lose mutual attraction, seductiveness and romance.

Some demons grab the opportunity and break in to set and seal the damage. These demons are misunderstanding, distrust, suspicion and ego.

Now there’s urgent need to try for the reversion. The ship of love is on the verge of hitting the rock and getting inundated into deep waters. The sufferers approach counselors and psychologists for the help. Amongst these rescuers, one more philanthropist comes to check the damage is the ‘romance novels’.

If read religiously, these novels woven in different types of fictions, ’suddenly’ show the lovers ways to insure their matrimonies from wreckage.

When spouses get up in the morning and for too many days in a row feel that something is grossly wrong in their routine marital life, they must seek the references from wonderful, thought provoking, disguised ’self help’ romance novels to reinstate the lost love and lust.

With proper resolution, seek and choose the path by fixing the compass on the techniques described in romance novels which are as simple as presenting a flower and as complex as playing an acrobatics in the game of love.
