It is of utmost importance to be secretive and may be mysterious, and not reveal everything about yourself. People are like fishes- once fed to their heart's content, they forget and move on. Once they realize you are no more fun and exciting, you become a liability. Like a worthless constant in a differential equation. Love and sentimentality get diluted and romance fizzles out. You are taken for granted and there is no more caring.

You are suddenly equivalent to a dragging, insipid, predictable Ekta Kapoor's production house soap . It can be soul destroying sometimes to realize you are no more a priority but a mere option and also that you have been dethroned from a position of importance in their lives.

But that's the way it is in every walk of life.... you are good as long as you are a surprise and succeed in keeping people entertained ! Heh ! reminds me of my television watching days when a channel's TRP was at the mercy of my mood swings and fingertips.
