On Love -II

Love is such a beautiful world .... it makes the mind go round; intoxicated with all the nectars of love and fantasy.... round and round.. faster and faster ..... till the mind spins and the soul comes crashing down in a tail-spin.

And then you find out that it was never to be.... that you were attempting to fly over the topmost peaks of the Himalayas, touch the stern cold mount of Mount Everest and all that you were carrying was a balloon..... but love is so foolish that it refuses to listen and goes on till all it has for it's efforts are nothings but pains and tears!

Every Prometheus of the world of love has to suffer the punishment of having his heart being clawed out of his breast every day and eaten raw.... and to the worst of it... he also faces the torture of being immortal to suffer this ongoing agony every day!

And so it goes on ..... the pain and the agony.....

A friend after reading my first post, asked me : when are the dynamics of the loved and the lover decided? Surely it must be decided the day they submerge their separate souls and become a distinct one ... both mentally, spiritually ... and .... sexually?

Sorry... my dear friend - I beg to differ! these rules of engagement are decided very early in the day - long before love reaches that last round of physical realm.... what happens on the bed or thereafter is only a show of the script that was written long ago....

There is a lot more I can speak about that side but that is a different story altogether -

Here I do not wish to speak of Lust - वो कहानी फीर सही!

As Sahir said so beautifully in that classic song from Chitralekha

उतना ही उपकार समझ लो कोई; जीतना साथ नीभा दे |
जनम मरण का मेल है सपना; ये सपना बीसरा दे ||
कोई ना संग मरे
