Lets Give them Something to Talk About!



People are talking, talking 'bout people
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it
They think we're lovers kept under cover
I just ignore it, but they keep saying
We laugh just a little too loud
We stand just a little too close
We stare just a little too long
Maybe they're seeing something we don't, darlin'


Let's give them something to talk about
Let's give them something to talk about
Let's give them something to talk about
How about lo-o-ove



I feel so foolish, I never noticed
You'd act so nervous, could you be falling for me
It took a rumour to make me wonder
Now I'm convinced I'm going under
Thinking about you every day
Dreaming about you every night
I'm hoping that you feel the same way
Now that we know it, let's really show it, darlin'

Let's give them something to talk about
A little mystery to figure out
Let's give them something to talk about
How about love, love, love, love


Flashback.....winter 2001, location: a typical college and a typical college crowd

People love to talk. We love to talk about the time when we are not there. We love to wonder what was happening in our absence. We love talking about couples who hang out just too long with eachother.
Who doesn't love to gossip! They talk about how they saw them having dinner at the restaurant the other night, how they caught them at the cafe, how they jog every evening, how they never stop meeting for study sessions at his or her room.
Many times, after a few weeks you come to know, that the couple are actually dating eachother. So do the gossip mongers stand vindicated? Take Abhi and Ash for instance. They denied it, they avoided the media, today they got married.

Now lets not reach to conclusions here. It is important to know what happened between the time that rumours started and couple actually came out to all their "friends". What were the couple feeling? Sometimes we have to be told by others that we have fallen in love. That is when some foolish people(like me) realize that there is something special here. And then, you have a lot to talk about. But what about those couples who never come out and the gossip mongers are left wondering, what was going on behind those closed doors.

Maybe there was never anything actually going on or maybe some secrets are best kept secrets forever ;)

PS: In my earlier post I had mentioned that my self perception of being a good student is shaterring to pieces. I stand corrected, I received final results of my 1st MBA course(Organiztional Behaviour), I am combined topper of my class.
