It's Life!

Its Diwali all over again! A festive moment & the lights on the streets bring a twinkle in my eye!

But here have come around to write on a different perspective to the emotion called "love"!
Seeing this emotion from far, now, I can start to see its nuances... the little things that I never knew were also a part of it. Now I just see this feeling as it is and hence this angle to it...

I see that in love you become selfish. Thats so very ironical a statement itself. On one hand Love is like the second name to Give, to spread happiness, to love and spread love. And on its second side... its selfish.
Love is like a slow drug... it gets you in a temporary high where you arent even aware of whats happening. Its like that para from the song of KHNH... "Cheezein Mein Rakh Ke Bhool Jaati Hoon, Bekhayaali Mein Gungunati Hoon, Ab Akele Mein Muskuraati Hoon, Badli Hui Si Meri Ada Hai... Kuch To Hua Hai, Kuch Ho Gaya Hai"... yeah thats exactly Love! You arent you when in love and guess thats why you dont even realise when it makes you selfish.
You start to think only about the person you love and what and how you can do to be a better and better partner. You forget that there used to be a life beyond your partner. Your partner becomes ur life! Nothing else matters! Noone else matters! Even though you say that no, nothings changed... u knw u r lieing! coz the whole world inside you and around you has already changed! Its like a volcano thats erupted within you... a volcano of sudden happiness, high, feeling good, feeling beautiful, being great!

Suddenly, like the structural changes that an earthquake brings on earth, similarly... Love brings such structural change in our lives. Along with making you feel on the top of the world, it takes you away from a lot of individuals who mattered in your life some time ago... and the best part about this is... you dont even realise this is happening! Coz for you, you are still the same, and that it isnt your fault that u r in love, u feel people around you should understand that... but strangely enough... you arent the same! and so obviously the people around you arent the same!
You are the same, no doubt... but your way of looking at these same people alters. Coz now before anyone comes your partner... every person who mattered so much till yesterday, comes second to your partner. It makes you think only about your partner, which ideally means, thinking about your self! Coz u start to feel you are worthless without ur partner... u cant live without ur partner etc etc etc... call it the standard operating principals of love! :)
Suddenly self becomes bigger than people, things, events, moments that mattered till yesterday! I saw this side of Love now and realised that this is an avoidable side of love if you realised it at the correct moment! But generally its not easy to realise this side of love esp when in love!

Nothing wrong with any of this... Not critizising this emotion... I love, Love! Its a feeling I wish everyone gets to feel... coz the high that it gets one into is much more than any drug or any other emotion... its even higher than pain! guess thats why we love to fall in love! coz even pain starts to look beautiful in love!
Rightly said... sometimes u got to be out of the court and see how well you can play and how well you can avoid the mistakes!
Love can be just Love! Let it be there! :)
