LOVE . . . . . hmmmmmmm

I was listening to the best music ever made till date today evening. A. R. Rehman’s music for the film WATER. It is outstanding and scintillating. I was moved to tears just with the quality of the inherent embodiment of love in his music. If true art had another name it would be Rehman! I was just lost at the mystic power that set the undertone for his compositional style and excellence. He is definitely a miracle and his mind is an industry par excellence. An institution himself, rehman strums the melodies by pulling the strings of your heart.

Lost in his music, I was just wondering about some issues. I was highly prejudiced against infatuations like Love at First sight and all that. I was always a believer of head over heart kind a guy. But now I totally dismiss my theory and respect that virtue that is a blessing only few retain. In spite of all the hardships that you encounter and all the meaninglessness you derive out of love, you still unknowingly give away your self to someone you just saw once.

You begin to feel you have known that person since ages and you also realize that love and god are nothing but one; when you are around this person. You unknowingly shed tears in his memory and unknowingly smile all the time. The sky invites you to take a flight and the cool breeze gives you a sense of bliss. You are mesmerized by just a thought of that person and your body craves to seek his closeness. A hug or just a few seconds of togetherness, you feel like you are a part of this amazing poetry the author, title and subject of which is unknown.

What else . . . . . if you even respect that person . . .. Then three is nothing else that can make it more beautiful. Your love now becomes devotion and that devotion is a virtue that can cleanse you and your soul. This is nothing but the experience of love that is true and that is beyond the inhibitions of time and space.

After having satifed my libran appetitie of self writhing iam now proceeding to "comment on wat karthik has written.." first of all it s a bit tuff to dinf the article on which u wanna write.. being karthik's friend has its own merits n demerits.. u tend to be different no matter how much u try to same ur not.. and different here means special n not different from man kind..

i was searching for some old blog of his (dats wer the differnt word is reqd.. i usually read his old stuffs.. n keep doin it till i understand it. i used to read once, comprehend n blab something. nt any more.. esp wen its articles that require one to think.. we r humans so more then once "familarising" with the article is reqd) here im making an exception n replyin to ur recent blog.. n no. y wud i comment on wat u hav written ? we r nt debating. u r not writhing to win $. u nt writhing for us..

U r expressing. i can at the most express too.. not comment.

I wont go into the feeling lov gives.. iam hav given it too many times.. i didnt read the para that expalins wat u feel.. some how i wanted to leave that part wen i write..

I used to lov some body....the "filmy way" i love my family n friends.. the normal way.. quietly, with simplicity often shying from expressing n yet using any oppurtunity to do so.. the filmy way of loving some one.. well it didnt work.. but i wont say it was fake.. the filmy way of loving is as real as the normal way.. but do we get jealous if our mother spoke to the uncle next door ? do we get pissed if she stroked our firends hair in our presence n not ours.. we may.. bt for a few secs.. bt some wer we seem to have reached a zone, a level wer we jus cant associate any other emotion with mom.. except love n respect..admiration, adoring all secondary n they come naturally..
bt in filmy type.. we burn at the sight of our better half walking down the road with another man while we were waiting for a mere 10 mins (time is money. bt didnt u decide otherwise the minute u fell in love? then y crib abt it as a reason to get mad at her/him ?) we get impatient, hasty, irritated, angry, mad n slowly doubt if we have tried callin him/her 5 times in a span of 6 mins to find hisher phone engaged.. very few ppl will actually remain calm or even normal n ask "were u busy i called/ tried calling" and that too as the 5th or 6th Q.. very often "why dint u pick the phone?" is the 1st or 2nd Q we ask.. unless an emergency we dont ask this Q to our friends or family.. bt we lov them.. n we can live around their lives. bt not in the filmy love (by now u must know i hav used the word filmy love merely to distinguish between the relationships.. dats all)

I wud wanna conclude here.. iam nt writhing a thesis to give a problem n then an explanation.. jus flashes of what i coud have become instd of wat im now.. bt I LOVE my present.. evry bit of it.. even the problems n crap.. the differnece is in my thinking.. dats all.. simple.. nothing else has really changed.. i havent been bitten by a spider or got mutant powers to battles lifes puzzles..
