The beautiful disease called love..............Pt-1

When you truly fall in Love, you dont need a third person to tell you,
You already know that this is it.


Love is when two people know on meeting each other,
that after that their lives would be incomplete without each other.

Well guys, this is my second blog....... and i thought about this one and decided to talk about something which most of us have experienced in this life at at least one point or the other. It doesnt matter whether the person is young, old, beautiful, not so beautiful, short, tall, thin, fat.... when one falls in love, it seems that the whole universe comes together into making everything possible for you.

I am a person who basically speaks from experience.... that is I am not a preacher.... so dont worry im not gonna be all philosphical n boring about this... so read on ahead...... If you notice the title... I have compared Love to a disease.... Now you might be wondering, what do I have against Love????? Guys I have nothing against love, in fact If its true n deserving Im totally for it. I compare Love to a disease because like any other disease or illness, there are a lot of symptoms and after-effect involved. You can usually suspect your friend or anyone you know to suffer from this ailment by looking for the following few symptoms i have listed out.....

• Loss of Hunger and appetite.
• spending unusual amount of time on the phone especially in a deserted area like the terrace or evn the bathroom in some cases.
• Spending at least 3 times the amount of time in front of the mirror than usually spend by the patient on a daily basis.
• Wearing new and trendy clothes and trying to look his best at all times, even when going for playing or the market ( hostel life co-ed campuses)
• Hvaing terrific and unbeleivable mood swings.
• Ignoring of best friends and patient prefering to spend more n more amount alone and lost in dreams.
• Loss of sleep and some days even sleeping in the wee hours of morning after night long phone talks.
• Patient who on some days would not even brush one time a day now starts brushing at least 4-5 times a day.

These are some of the symptoms which indicate that your friend/yourself are suffering from this beautful disaease called love. Like, I have mentioned in my earlier blogs, i am a person who is slow at choosing friends, but when i do make someone as a friend, i intend to keep them friends for a lifetime. So, I have this very colourful and multi-cultural friend circle, and I have found myself on a certain number of occasions sitiing down with some friends and listening to their love related problems, and offering them my support, sympathy, in some cases and most importantly advice.

If you ask me my opinion on love NOW, i would say it would be one of the most beautiful and in some cases the most tragic thing to ever happen to a person. I still remember the first time I fell in love, or at least i thought so....... I think I was in 9th standard In delhi and there was this beautiful, simple gal who used to study tuitions with me. Since i did a major part ofmy schooling in Delhi a boys only school, I was always AND I STILL AM shy in approaching gals, so when i used to go for tuitions and see this beautiful angel seated next to me, i remember thinking How God could even manage to create such a wonderful n beautiful person????? I always used to be edgy and not comfortable around her. I could talk to any of the gals in the tuition except this one girl, and no matter how much I tried I never made the courage to go upto her and speak. Days turned to weeks, eventually to months and this thing inside me eventually died down, and I realised That I had changed as an individual. Even though the first love of mine was a utter failure, it taught me a few things about this contagious and irresistable disease called love.

I have heard most of my friends and even some other people always Commenting, " dude I fell in love with her the moment i saw her" I always used to think that these people were really lucky or had something different about them but after i understood love, after i experienced love, after i experienced being in a relationship which is now in its 4th year and still going strong, I can easily say that Love at first sight is truly a very rare and remakeable phenomemon, at more times it is not love, it is a deadlier element called lust. If love is a bed of roses, then consider Lust as the thorns, some of my friends who talk to me about their problems misconstitute lust as love and this is where I feel as responsible and good friends we all can make an impact. Like I earlier said, I am never against love, I will openly support it if it is true n deserving.

Another thing which is very important and plays a deterimental role is GODS PLAN in your life. It doesnt matter if you love a person as beautiful as Aishwaya Rai, if God has a different plan in your life, his plan will be carried out no matter we like it or not. A famous quotation says ' Man plans over Life and God plans over Man.' God has a plan for everyones life, even you sitting in your room reading this blog is planned, the next breath you breathe is planned, everything in our life is planned by God, and it will take place according to his pattern or as God puts it ' in the right time.' One thing which strikes me about God is the fact that when he closes one door, he opens three others. It is upon the individual to seek and find those doors. I really want to go in depth and talk a lil bit more about my experiences in Love both personal n of sum of my frnds who dont mind their experiences being shared for the benefit of others.

So, I will be continuing this blog with a part-II very soon, rite now i have to go as I have to read a mammoth set of notes given to me on Business Communication, or else i will be in trouble tomorrow.....
so, just to leave you with a temporary parting note, I leave you with this amazing quote which has impacted my life in many ways n hopin does the same magic for you....

'Love is Patient, Love is Kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude nor self seeking, it is not easily angered ,
it does not keep a record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in truth,
It always protects, trusts, hopes and always perseveres.
LOVE NEVER FAILS.'

In my knowledge, this is the best and exact definition for true love, it is given in the Holy Bible, I Corinthians, 13:4...... So until my next blog..... following pretty soon ......

Take Care....... and post ur comments n feedback......
