Shades Of Love

 LOVE...a word with so many shades...so many angles..!!

              There's one kind of love which shouts and boasts itself from over rooftops. Which claims that it is forever, Which shows no shame in showing off publicly ...It almost becomes an obsession. It fills you with a kind of euphoria that makes you doubt if you are walking....or, flying. Your attachment to the person of your obsession reaches the 24*7 level.Nothing matters...except us! Our whole world gets shrunken to two people. Or if you've always been a social, talkative person, you end up spreading the euphoria into each and every relationship of yours. You end up believing that when you have this Love, NOTHING else matters...."ab to jo bhi hoga dekha jayega"  type. You feel that the euphoria is forever. But this kinda all consuming Love is dangerous. As socrates once said, The most passionate relationships have the coldest endings...Sooner or later, trouble comes...it could be anything--a row..a misunderstanding..a not so conscious betrayal...or you begin to see the imperfections and shortcomings in your relationship more than its beauty.



Then there's this kinda love where you don't boast anything. You don't claim that it'll be this way forever. The frequency of calls, the hours of conversations do not increase or decrease according to your mood, But those couple of calls are always there no matter what your mood is, or how your relationship is.It never claims to be great.,.No matter what ...you feel secured...coz deep down you know the calls will come, that you are his and he yours..When the time's good, it runs--NEVER Flies...So when tables turn...it might only walk...there might be no more running, but you don't fall into a deep pit either. Always grounded, always patient. However, its not devoid of rows or misunderstandings or insecurities...It just means that since the difference between the UPS & DOWNS  are quite steady and little, you become more open, more steady. Also your world doesn't shrink to 2 people...your love is diffused among all your relations-family, friends etc..so forgiving one small member of the whole group becomes easier. For the former kinda lover, forgiving (if needed) is tough as it seems that your WHOLE WORLD (The person of interest) has wronged against you.
Its extremely hard to find and experience such Love.


These are just elaborate descriptions of just two shades of Love...there are so many--- Familial love, friendship wala love, flattery wala love, love for siblings/cousins, love for babies, love of a mother/father, love for a pet,.....the list is loooong and countless...Of these familial love is the best-- shout, beat, hit, pull...you know they are always there...you know they'll never give up :)

Thank you God...you make me experience so many shades of love..thank you my life partner.... thank u amma acha n chetta, thank you thekinkad thunders and NE family..Thank you Kjk family!

                            Psss.."Love all hate none; Make love not war"
