That heady feeling!

Once again, my friends, I dawdle..

Forgive me but I just couldn’t stop..

So here I go, on a subject which is clearly the most fascinating, talked about, revered, enchanting and also the most overrated of all times.

Many a times, It’s led to heart breaks, broken families and sometimes (or maybe just once) even wars.

Sadly, It is also a subject I’m yet to understand, too lazy to organize my thoughts upon, too scared to pass a judgment on.

LOVE.

In my 22 years of otherwise dull existence, if there is something I’ve realized, it is probably the fact that It is not meant for the faint hearted.

;)

Trust me, I shudder as I type. :P

So what exactly makes two cheerful, easygoing yuppies fall into a bottomless pit of emotions (which may not be necessarily pretty). The worst part being, they don’t even realize how/what/when did cupid strike. The otherwise stable, balanced, thinking people lose control and worse, lose choice!

One day you are all happy and gay (please, please..no stale jokes here!), living your life to the hilt, and before you know it you can’t stop feeling pathetic about the fact that a certain someone saw it when you bumped into the glass door because you couldn’t take your eyes off them and your jaw dropped below your shoulders when they smiled at you and all you could manage were grunts when they said ‘Hi!’.

Some say it’s a chemical locha that makes the world go round (or maybe upside down).

Some say it’s the stars.

I just don’t think I’m certified to comment.

They’ll crib, they’ll cry, they’ll be jealous, they’ll play, they’ll ponder, they’ll resign, they’ll renounce, they’ll smother, they’ll suffocate. They’ll kill.

And they say it’s a happy place!

Bloody sadists!

Love, positively, should be a negative emotion!

Surprisingly it is not!

They say, it gives them strength, smiles, a reason to succeed, a reason to live. A life worth living. A ride worthwhile!

They say that’s all they need. Everything, the only thing they want.

It’s not a drug but more like the sun. Bright and happy but totally indispensable.

It makes criminals. Its makes poets. It makes drunkards. But it also makes marvels.

As for me, I simply fail to understand…

:D
