What is love?

Well Anish, your latest blog IV had me thinking about this pointless question. Pointless, 'cause, you cannot put in words whats a "feeling". You have to experience it to understand. Cliche !

You see we have been brought up on a full course diet of romantic hindi movies. The chopras and the johars have laid down some rules and explored all possible theories on love. Which are fair enough. Ofcourse, it wouldnt make any sense if we did some reality check. But the feeling remains, whether a movie or reality.
I know after DDLJ, it was an "in" thing to have a theres-no-such-thing-called-love attitude, thanks to SRK. See, i dont blame you here :p

what is love anyways? is it compatibilty? is it intimacy? is it passion?
All of it! Its like a complicated chemistry practical, at the end of which you do not remember what chemicals you put in. The "precipitate" is either happiness or heart break.
Wow! thats quite a definition ;)

About the commercialisation of love, its not the geniuses at hallmark or archies, but its common people like her and him and also that crazy guy in 11th std. who gave roses and chocolates to every second girl out of the parking lot !! They chose to do it that way. Love is not about a dozen roses, a box of chocolates, diamond rings, i-love-you cards, some ribbons, the sun, the moon the stars; its just a feeling, thats what it is...nothing more nothing less. Sometimes its a strength, though sometimes a weakness. Some people understand it, some take advantage of it ! Love is what you want it to be.
I guess its worth more than 2 paisas ??
The blog would be incomplete without our favourite song from that hilarious movie:

What is love ?
Baby don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
Baby don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
What is love ?
Yeah

My best wishes to your high school buddy.
