It's so easy to fall in love...

...but so difficult to 'rise' in it.

I have absolutely no idea what love is, but I suddenly feel like increasing the mush component of this already over-flooded ambience of today by my own version of crap. I'm one of the tribe that believes everyday is as good as Valentines' Day when love exists, and secretly puke at people who think the concept of love is publicly holding hands and making out and exchanging red roses and similar pinky pinky stuff(read this for more) without any real emotional connect. But of course, that's my worthless opinion. No offences. I'm not gonna ever indulge/interfere in any PDA(Public Display of Affection) exercises for sure!

I can't say what love is, but there are several things that love certainly isn't. Only PDA is one, lust is another, selfishness is a major third, and if you can lie to your love and face him/her without guilt, if you can hurt him/her sometimes giving yourself a reason and be at peace with it and if you can say 'damn her/him' and get back to important work immediately after a fight and not think about him/her, then I'm sorry but you aren't really in love. Reality check, anyone?

Again, all this is IMO. Maybe I'm too crazy, maybe too obsessed, or plain stupid and kiddish. I don't care. Aisi hi hai kiddo!

That is why I feel it's so easy to fall in love, to fall for someone, as they very romantically say, and to confess and swear with all the starry eyes, but love really begins AFTER all this. It's in the every second that comes later, when your 100% love this second increases to a new 100% the next. The standards just go on rising. The feeling is one of complete drowning. And it's tough, because amongst all the poetic language I put it in, life with all its disappointments and complexities never ceases all around you. So it needs strength, it needs determination, and for me, it needs a lot of passion. That's what I call rising in love, or whatever the stupid feeling is for which they have painted the town red today!

LoveGURU Reloaded, in a Guest Appearance:

Couple of quick interesting funde

• If a man falls in love through his eyes, a woman falls in love through her ears. So it's important for him to see on your face that you love him, so that he just can't take his eyes off. It's even more important for her to know, to be told, to be reminded, sometimes without words, that you love her, so that she keeps falling deeper within.
• Girls won't get impressed by flooding them with SMSs or the likes, unless they're already interested. (In case you're one of those whose messages sail in my inbox, read this AGAIN). And guys don't get impressed, gals, if you spend an extra two hours in the parlour just today. Unless, some fun is all you are looking for;)

Finally, this one holds for life too, and actually just about everything. So it's my favourite and I'd repeat it again: Everything is as simple as you please! Don't see complications where there are none. Where there are, trust yourself,and it would become simpler.

Happy Valentines' Day, btw!
