love..!!


You know there are so many topics in this world to write on but one thing that i always wished to write on was "love".....this might just be the simplest and the most difficult word to understand..we can ponder upon its meaning for years and still not find out wat "love" actually means..

It requires a Shakespeare to understand wat "love" is..and i know i am no shakespeare..
but this blog post is all about my perception of "love"----

There is love all around..in every moment we live..in every breath we breathe..in everything we see....
There are things i used to notice wen i was a kid who could not understand anything but observe everything around him and now when i think about it i can understand wat those gestures actually meant...

When a child... i always felt that when someone Loves You, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth...

"Love" is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other....we notice these things but we never ever try to actually ponder over it..

"Love" is when my Mumma makes coffee for my Dad and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is okay..

"Love" is when You tell a guy You like his shirt, then he wears it every day..and trust me i hav done that all my life...wenever some girl has said that to me..

"Love" is when Mumma gives me the best piece of chicken.....

"Love" is when she eats only after everyone has eaten so that there is ample food for everyone..

"Love" is wen a woman works cleaning peoples' trash and saves everything for her child.. and herself sleeps hungry..

There is a very significant i remember which must be mentioned here..

Once there was a contest held in a society..the objective of which was to find the most caring person in that society..To everyone's surprise..

the winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old man’s yard, climbed onto his lap and just sat there.When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbour, the little boy said, “Nothing, I just helped him cry!!!!!!”

This is what "love" is.. which a four year kid can understand and feel but we grown up people who apparently hav more understanding of things cannot just feel the most beautiful feelings of all.."LOVE"...................

Its a fact that...... you should'nt just say "I love you" unless you mean it....but a there is a bigger truth than this and it is that sometime wen you actually "love"...u dont hav to say it.....
small gestures like what i mentioned above can say it for you......

So people i am done writing whatever i felt about love.....and to end with..i would pick up one leaf out of a great man's life(who always preached love) and quote here what he once said....

Love never claims, it ever gives.... Love ever suffers, never resents.... never revenges itself.
-Mahatma Gandhi
