Love...and other basic calculations!!!

Its been more than a month since I last wrote anything. Most of the time this happens due to sheer laziness.But this time I was genuinely very busy. Lot many things happening in life.

Anyways, this post is on Love. One of the most discussed topics in the world.I m pretty sure each one of us can write a book on that. Everyone having their own funda ;-).

However in this post I am trying to decipher what love means to the new generation.

So whats love? Love is basically a series of calculations. We meet someone and then the calculations start, depending on which we decide whether he or she is the one or not.

First, we all have a set of parameters. Is he tall enough? Is she beautiful enough? Is he intelligent enough? Is she hot enough?? Is he rich enough? Is she interesting enough? blah blah...

95% of the people we meet, get rejected in the first instance. They are a BIG NO. Very few pass the criteria.And then we start spending more time with these 'special people'.With every passing day, we start liking them more and more. The begining is awesome.

But then suddenly the next set of calculations start.

Where are we heading towards? Is this relationship feasible? Would this interfere with my career? What will be the future? Most of us back out after this stage.

Then there are those who decide to still go ahead. Love blossoms. A relationship starts.You paint the town red with love. But after some time another set of calculations start.

Is she too clingy? Is he too possessive? Is she too demanding? Is he always busy? These special people suddenly start appearing so ordinary.

Love grows old and you start to struggle.

Again, few back out at this stage. The calculation comes to an abrupt end.There are very few who actually make it work beyond this stage.

So thats basically what love is in this era of facebook and whatsapp.

Its just a simple sequence of calculations!!!

Haa!!! If only love was so simple :)

There is nothing right or wrong with this approach.

Though my take on this is little different. Yeah, there are calculations involved but when there is true love, everything takes a back seat. Love is like gravity. You might have 100 criterias in your mind but as I always say "It just clicks". You can try to go against it, but you really can’t.You can jump off a cliff, trying to fly, but you will not. You will fall. It is inevitable. Similarly, falling in love cannot be prevented. It is inevitable too.

And again love is all black and white. You either are in Love or you are not.There is nothing in between.And if you are smart enough to recognise that it is real, you should be smart enough to fight for it and never let it go.

Life does not give you too many second chances.!!!!
