Love

Insomnia + Unemployment is a deadly combination for unintended thoughts to invade one's mind!

Oh, did I mention that its 1 am, i am not sleepy and am totally jobless?!

Of late, I've been reading a lot [Blogs to be more specific] and what strikes me, is, how alike are the topics that go around in peoples' mind yet how different their perspective is, of looking at those very things. But naah! I dont want to think about that [maybe some other day] because that's not what i was thinking and i cant even recall why i wrote this particular paragraph!

Love

This is one word that demands respect, because I dont know what it means. And anything inexplicable, is to some extent, incomprehensible [that's why maybe its inexplicable?]

People often talk of love...

[sadly i never felt like taking part in any of those conversations, it always seemed such a waste of time, but now it makes me wonder...]

...talk of falling in love, of falling out of love, of a difference existing between puppy love (crushes) and true love... but they always seem to exclude parental/sibling/friendship love from their conversations... so when asked what about them, they go like 'arey, unki baat alag hai' [Translation: "Oh! that's a different issue].

[Okay, i may not be giving in my viewpoints when such a conversation pops up, but i cant shut my ears! Can I? Btw, its always fun to be an observer. Observers always get to witness the maximum fun! And its fun!]

Maybe the way a person comprehends love is not always the same as another person does. Love for a person [as told in the movies and a few of my friends seem to agree with that defination] might mean 'getting smitten by one's charms, or getting totally swept of one's feet' where 'charms' most of time means 'personality' which in many cases means 'the way one carries himself' which most of time means 'looks'! Its funny though, getting attracted to a person just because he/she looks good is like getting into a deep ditch voluntarily [you hardly know that person dude! He/she might be an anti-you when its comes to your opinion or whatever!]. Appearences maybe important to some extent [i.e if one doesnt want ugly kid(s)] but that being the sole reason of falling in love?! Okay, one may say that its impossible to know and understand a person in just one meeting and best way to judge him/her is by the impact he/she makes on you during that encounter. Here again, impact = charms!

For me, one time encounters are useless! They tell nothing [really have had experiences where seemingly intelligent people turned out to be drum-beaters and seemingly dumb and not so good looking people have 'smitten' me by their intelligence! Btw, if this gives an impression that i've ever fallen in love, then sorry to disappoint whosoever is reading this post [if any at all!] No, i never fell in Love, i dont know why but i still think its crap]. If you really want yourself to be swept off your feet, get acquainted dude, spend more time with him/her, I cant understand why one would want to be hit by a thundbolt in just one meeting?

Since, I've had no experience of being in love except for in my home [Parental/Sibling love] and college [Friendship], Love for me means :>>
being comfortable in their company and them also being the same, trying to understand them as they understand themselves and be tolerant enough to not question that, having the courage to leave them alone when they really want to be alone, having the guts to be cent percent truthful [no pretensions]... ie being compatible!

I cant think of any person with whom i'd want to be 'compatible' for now, so am happy having my own current list of 'People I admire'! I've given up using the word - 'Crush' cuz am now using - 'Admire' word in place of that! [for its very safe and crushes are after all admiration of some sort!] :D
