Graham Greene's love letter made me remember Poet kannadasan

“Darling! Dearest heart for ever this is just a hasty line to say how much I love you. Don’t let anything ever make you doubt that. And forgive anything I ‘ve ever done to hurt you if this flight should end badly”
Difficult to guess who wrote this letter bristling with unbridled love? It was Graham Greene the famous writer who at one stage helped our RK Narayan to get his feet in the field of literature.
Going back to his hasty line ,was he true to his intention and ever love his dearest heart?No doubt his flight landed safely but our romantic in the novelist soon  after a brief interval landed himself into another sublime love with Catherine Walston a beautiful girl and also rich. What is true love and why the male irrespective of his status or qualification, appearance or look gets hijacked towards other greener pasture cannot be explained except by the genes the person has acquired and the outlook or attitude that he has developed.
Poet Kannadasan says :the heart has thousands of gates and innumerable thoughts arise there day in and day out;many will come and go but only a very few stay there. But when it comes to steamy affair with the opposite sex he says categorically that there will be problem if more than one enters into the heart  peace will cease to exist.

What happened to our Greene?In the company of that dazzling beauty he produced many great novels and she was definitely the great inspiration and a source of his happiness. All said and done that dearest heart also became the author of his sorrow and despair. Here the love gives pain and pleaure.The tendency on the part of the male to experiment and stray beyond multiple love has also started infecting at least a part of the current generation  of girls caught into the vortex of cross cultural exchange thus  entering into danger zone. Cyber intimacy and love has the entire fertile climate to fall in love and rise in life and or to fall into multiple love and go astray. If anyone thinks that  he or she will become Kannadasan /Greene they are in fool’s paradise.
