The first couple I saw as a kid, Anil Kapoor and Sreedevi, so perfect, I used to dream of them together. Love for me was so filmy then. Soon got a reality check. They were married to other individuals.
In school days, I saw some friends fall in love. Fall in love again every new year.
The era of romance, the college days. Pairs celebrating Valentine's day, talks of future, hands in hand. The roses, the songs, the movies, and the coffee shops. The perfect Sharukhs and Kajols. But there were these news flashes every now and then of boys throwing acid on the face of girl friends, just for the reason of not obeying them or accepting them. Suicide attempts, notes for the same.
The present: People being killed by lovers, killed for lover. Rapes, murder, husband-wife torture, divorces, the list goes on and on. Going through the flash back, I see not even a single dozen of couples who had fallen in love and are still in love with the same person. That is not even a single positive incident per year of my life.The result is quite obvious, then why am I confused . . .
My parents, who got married 25 years ago, under the category of arranged marriages. In all years of my life, I have seen them shout, argue and fight eachother. Also seen them miss the other like teenage lovers when not around. Seen them support eachother through mistakes and hard times. I have realized through them, the existence of something, . . . maybe true love.
I guess it is like those legal acts in our constitutions. We know they are there in the books but don't know the use and purpose until it comes on to us.
I think I will have to wait and find out till I find my true love.

I guess there is no "TRUE" Love...
Its either "REAL" or "FAKE" Love
One thing I wonder often is how there can be love with out a friendship...Thats y i believe there is nothing like Love at first sight. And most the college romances are crushes, infactuations or a cool factor ( How stupid of them...)
Any ways the post is reaaly a discussion opener. I guess there shud be a discussion on this one.
I believe on love at first sight..
also on TRUE LOVE.. In such cases their is some type of FAKE but still I belive on True love....All these are not stupid things..!!These post is really really a discussion opener as per Mridula said...
i've subscribed to ur blog i read dem in my inbox.....itz a very deep topic but reading it felt a very superficial sumhow......... i mean u cud have conveyed a lot more............
Thanks for the response frnds.
Love i guess is a feeling. As for every aspect there is a -ve & +ve to love too. Each has to choose for oneself
Thanks Sithara, my true critic.
The topic was so confusing. I wanted to write about it but couldnt really decide on the limits.
I think Love don't have any perfect definition, I think it is blind, when u r in love you don't know what is happening around u, you just want it to be success if it is a true love.
I think love should be ur bright future with the help of both's understanding, not a dull future.
Love's never labor lost... you win some, you lose some - at the end of the day, you're out of it with a lesson learnt or still in it learning new things every single day :-)
true love - i don't know how to restrict the definition with parameters but what i can definetely say that you come to know for sure when you're in true love... you will know too :-)
hApPy waiting! :-)
Ditto here. My Amma and Appa are more of lovebirds than any of the teenage lovers I have seen. And argue at the same time, more than siblings.
That is my kinda model couple.
Hmm.. People should look back and learn how secure marriages had been..
