A concept that has baffled all poets since centuries and confused humans to both live and die must not be an easy one rather the one that is sufficient unto itself. Man has a history to have wishful desires that results in demise of his oneself. Such a thing must have a boundless barrier and a never-ending horizon spread across the borderless feeling that has mists on its way to clarity. Putting the level of overrated on love may not be an ideal thought before understanding it on a level enough for a veridiction, is nothing but stupidity.

What is love?

Love has many facets and arise on different criteria not basically standing on about the feelings of a boy towards a girl. When we go in deep, love has many forms .it can be love towards nature or any animal or a responsibility or a deep shared emotion. In short love can be everything and nothing at the same time. It can be just a feeling that has an impact throughout your life. It can be about friendship in true form also.

In love people submit all their life to one. Think about them all day and make them their hearts ruler every day. When a man becomes a devotee to a lord, he does all of it without any care. He does all of it without wishing anything in return. Isn’t love selfless. If it is then this relationship of a man and God can be termed as love. Look at what Mirabai did for lord Krishna, she presented her all life leaving her royal past and achieved divinity and moksha being a disciple to Krishna. Is not love divine? Then the pursuit to divinity of man can be defined as love certainly.

Respect and gratitude wins heart of all because mutuality develops in core with these basic elements. When parents sacrifice their own happiness for the sake of their child’s future without any hesitation, what can it be termed. Is not love about putting beloveds’ aspiration before yourself? Then parents’ upkeep for their child can be noted as love and to the case when someone put their life for you, you must put yours to their thoughts in all existence. When a child cares his parents the way they did, can it be said as love. Yes, it can and it unquestionably is.

Love is like a singing brook that flows in happiness, in sorrow, in pain and in what not. Love is about care, kindness, benevolence and respect.

After all these forms there comes the one that has been understood as love by all. The love between two humans, how does it grow? It grows through friendship and shared thoughts and even sometimes distinguished nature. But one thing for sure when you look at history and may be today, you can see how diversified conceptions are about it. Poets like Neruda went over impressions of loving someone for their darker thoughts while Shakespeare and Keats went on about its tenderness to topaz and sweet roses. Some poets even turned around spirituality about love. It is not all about grand gestures, it is about notions that yields with in you.

Is love that hard as they say? I do not know because, I have never felt that filmy butterfly in stomach or a gust of chilled yet warm wind on my face on seeing someone. I have read that love is something you cannot deny, you just fall for it and when that happens there is no escape from it. Sometimes it becomes unrequited but is not love about seeing happiness in beloved not necessarily having them in life.

But from what I have interpreted in my years of studying books, I have deciphered that it is easy to find love but very difficult to stay in it. To fall and keep falling every day for the same person without getting annoyed by their quirky ideas or being in dismay of their darkest thoughts is not just difficult but it is something that takes a fascination of special kind.

Over the years I have seen many people fall in love then getting on different roads just because there arises difference in thoughts. It is funny how they don’t go on seeing dissimilarity as a bond. Distinguished outlooks are a very part of evolution. They are bound to arise but when you come across that boundary to see it as an opportunity of respect for each other, you can truly define your relationship…

It is said that people who are in love are capable of saying what qualifies or not, but agreeing to that fact only makes people go over dilapidated and shabby ideas where an innuendo to self-hatred develops. That very contemplation makes them not to fall in love. When one goes onto appreciating himself not in over confidence but in a way of self-admiration, it brings about a change, a smile that is bound create a vortex of attention and the process starts.

Apart from the facts that people are fanatic, it is the very part of life to walk both in terms of reality and pipedream. As you see over the past decade, humanity have soared into immeasurable heights but the essence of life still remains same. What do we live for? is it about the jobs we do to sustain or the passion of poetry, romance and friendship? The best I can say for later because in my word’s poetry is an art of reclamation and the later defines humanity.

I know I have drifted from the very topic I started with but when you dive into it you see love is just a block of humanity just like other blocks as friendship, family etc. As philosopher say “Cogito ergo sum” i.e. “I think therefore I am” is nothing but an objective attribute in a structured way. It goes on to link with realism in life. You see at a point in life, you happen to go over past and present as a parameter for what the future waits for you and there lies the problem. I know people say everything has consequences and there is no doubt that it has, but when you keep yourself constrained to results, you can never really achieve the true feat.

Same goes for love. At start when you begin to see its outcome in future, you will never be able go into the best height of it. The fear of ravage will always hunt you and destroy even the tiniest bit of happiness you extracted out of it. Love is all about moments even the smaller ones. At a party when you roll over your eyes to see someone you love only to see that they have been looking at you injects a jerk of happiness and I can say that is love. That smile of few seconds is love at purity and falling for it is never a bad thing. It is a cycle of human nature.

I have no certain experience to say and preach knowledge but in certitude, I can say that my ideas are perfect in a way because they talk about reality and never say that a man can never fall in love twice. yes, it can happen but there is a thing that when you are committed to someone, you never allow yourself to find perfection in others, and that very idea brings about a sense of compatibility that I have seen in my elders. and that is also love.

When one’s life becomes poetry for others existence, love grows to bloom….

You see there is so much to love that no pen and paper are enough to write about it. It’s a feeling like wind that can never be touched but only be felt. It is like the sweet petrichor on first kiss of rain to earth. It is like the cold moonlight on a summer night pleasing the souls wish. It is vast and endless given that human heart and mind are too small to comprehend it.

When the concept of love is so fluid and eternal, why will it be overrated? The things we do in the name of love can be overrated not love, not even the time you ask putting a gun over my head. The choice always lies in our own heart. Dive deep into yourself and ask the question once more, you must stumble upon the answer as every time because love is not materialistic, it is something that becomes a reason for our very manifestation.

That’s all I can say….
