Everyone loves to watch Bollywood movies, na? If any of my readers are from India, I would like to recommend that you watch some Bollywood films. Old School Romance kya hai? At least for Bollywood fans, it's the first meet where everything blurs out except your girl/guy and background music, getting gifts and flowers, writing letters to each other, meeting in secret hideouts, gajra lana, movie dekhne jaana. I summed up almost all the gestures, and the same goes for the rest of the world.

Now, social media is all abuzz with nostalgia for that Old School charm, and you can almost hear the collective "aww" echoing through the feeds. But let's be real—social media isn’t always a true reflection of life. It begs a tantalising question: Is Old School Romance just a myth, a concoction of celluloid dreams? Can we truly expect to find such love in our fast-paced lives? In this whirlwind of obligations, who really has the time and energy to go the extra mile for their partner?

Before you lose hope, remember that love is expressed uniquely by everyone. Some thrive on those sweet little gestures, while others might not value them as much—but don’t mistake them for hopeless romantics. Here’s where things get interesting: Old School Romance isn’t just about gifts and flowers. It’s about mutual respect and understanding, recognising each partner's efforts, offering a gentle reprimand when needed, and adapting to each other’s needs. It’s about building trust and being steadfast through life’s ups and downs. As the saying goes, He lost a diamond in search of gold.

We all want the rosie part of Old School Romance, but don't want to face the hardships in it. It takes time, patience, sacrifice, and penance to love someone passionately and selflessly. We love to have things at our convenience as if we are placing a Blinkit order, which is delivered to us in mins without doing anything. Fast delivery only suits for consumer goods, not for building lives.

So the real question is: Are you in search of genuine Old School Romance, or are you just drawn to the fairy-tale image? Think about it. Love in its true form is worth the effort and the rewards? They’re beyond measure.
