"love",well this word has been exhausted with merciless barbarism.Really everyone and everything around us is showcasing something about this thing which people say makes god's children go crazy.TV is showing shows that have young couples fighting out the vamps in there extended joint families just for it,internet is becoming the best tool for not so good wannabe players of the love game to polish there skills ,radio is full of RJ's trying to solve people's love problems .Yet many of the young people and teenagers are a addled lot .When this topic comes up somewhere, they chalk out there strategies for the same, whose fragments originate from heartbreaking crushes and many reality shows.I was just a few days ago having a conversation with a interesting ,intellectual and really studious good girl i know.She told me that she wishes to write about various instances where girls and boys think they fall in love and how they after a while finds it to be utterly senseless and stupid.Me i have not experienced it yet and nor do i look forward to it cause i seriously believe now would not be a good time .I asked her has she ever been in it herself ,she said she had a series of crushes and may be that was the major reason behind her perception of things.Many other says that love is a confusion and something that runs out of steam pretty soon and that its all the sex and the harmones playing with ones head.
I could not stop thinking about it for a long time and asked to myself why this sudden shift in the attitude .I asked myself don't our parents,grandparents love each other ,are they not really happy and content .Even when most of them came together through arranged marriages.But they were ancient times right ? ,everything has changed since then.
One morning I woke up late and went to look at myself in the mirror.Brushing my fingers through my hair i felt a sudden sense of DEJAVU .For a second i felt like this same thing has happened in the past.I shrugged it off after a second .Looking at my image i exclaimed ,"hey, i love you!".On saying this i remembered about the above written things and then i thought that love is not limited to some people .It can be anything which brings a smile to your face,something which forms a part of your life ,someone's company,your mother's age old bhajan ,the early morning cook of the koyal ,getting soaked in rain,your old bike,the strum of your guitar ,your old school belongings ,your first watch or a walk on a cool windy evening with someone you cherish.We can fall in love with anything we want .Those who don't feel it's existence are keeping there eyes shut and don't wanna get over things that were naive .Some people think that there is no one special for them.WAKE UP! people look around you ,give a thought to those things which you have today and how you would feel if they are taken from you .Think about things that you don't care about and take them for granted .Nature ,birds ,music,art and you yourself .Relish the fact you were born totally normal and self sufficient biologically .Love yourself and the wonderful world around you,look closely and you may find something to fall for in everything.So don't go on denying the existence of this lovely feeling .Go and fall for it takes you to cloud nine.
