LOVE??

I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS TERM FOR A VERY LONG TIME. WHAT IS LOVE? IS IT WHEN YOU SAY I LOVE YOU TO SOMEONE AND IN RETURN THEY REPLY YOU BACK WITH THE SAME I LOVE YOU TOO STATEMENT? BUT IS IT THE ONLY WAY TO FIND OUT WHAT IS LOVE.. GETTING ATTACHED, CARE, AFFECTION, INFATUATION, BEING TOGETHER, AND MANY MORE WORDS ARE INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS OF FALLING IN LOVE. DO THEY INDICATE THE REAL MEANING OF LOVE? THE COMPLEXITY OF THIS WORD IS DRIVING ME CRAZY. WHEN I WAS YOUNG I ASKED MY MOM ABOUT LOVE AND SHE, WITH A SMILE ON HER FACE RESPONDED "LOVE IS A FEELING OF NEVER LIVING WITHOUT A PERSON YOU ARE IN LOVE WITH". THOSE WORDS WERE SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND THEN. BUT NOW IF I THINK ABOUT IT, IT IS THE DIFFERENT SITUATION ALL TOGETHER. THE GENERATION OF TODAY'S WORLD HARDLY PRESSURIZES ON BEING IN LOVE. IF FOR NOW THEY ARE WITH SOMEONE THEN TOMORROW THEY'LL BE WITH SOMEONE ELSE. SO WHERE IS THE SIGN OF NOT LIVING WITHOUT EACH OTHER GONE? THEY SAY THAT MARRIAGE IS THE FIRST STEP OF LOVE. I PERSONALLY FEEL MARRIAGE IS NOT THE SOLUTION OR STEP FOR FALLING IN LOVE  SAY FOR EXAMPLE IF I MARRY A GUY AND INITIALLY HE IS VERY NICE AND KIND TO ME, JUST WHAT I WANTED AND I CALL IT LOVE. BUT, LATER ON HE TURNS OUT TO BE A BASTARD AND STARTS IGNORING ME OR SAY STARTS AN AFFAIR WITH SOMEONE ELSE THEN WHERE IS THE LOVE GONE? WHAT ABOUT THE COMPATIBILITY?
WAIT! THERE IS ONE MORE THING COMING TO MY MIND... SEX? IS IT RELATED TO THE WORD LOVE? BECAUSE- BECAUSE EITHER IT HAS TO BE THE REASON TO FALL IN LOVE OR LOVE IS THE REASON TO FALL IN LOVE OR EVENTUALLY LOVE IS THE REASON TO FALL IN LOVE TO FALL FOR SEX!!
WHATEVER IT IS, THE TERM 'LOVE'HAS TO BE DEFINED IN SIMPLER TERMS AND ITS MEANING IN MORE SIMPLER FORM.
BECAUSE LOVE IS NOT HOW WE TAKE IT AS AND LOVE IS NOT WHAT WE WANT IT AS. THERE ARE SMALLER PARTS OR CALL IT FORMS OF LOVE.... NO! NO! SUB-HEADS OF LOVE THAT WE GET FOR REAL.
AND STILL THINKING................. LOVE? LOVE? LOVE?

A feeling

I was too deep into my thoughts and suddenly how much that one thing meant to me. After being too much involved, dicing my head into the heads and tails of one peculiar ponderance. I stood up, unknotted my hair, felt the cool breeze, lit my cigarette, inhaled it and felt at ease.

Cosy Space Lover

  The only thing about Bombay is that it has small spaces and what it teaches you, is to improvise all the small details.   Small spaces doesn’t have to be shabby or filthy. These could be subdivided into pretty little corners.  Ever since I am in Bombay, my idea of making my house beautiful is to look at every wall, close my eyes and just imagine my perfect house right in front of me.  It taught me to see perfection even in the pale yellow wall colour, old fashioned construction, fully furnished second hand furniture, etc etc.. However, I tried my best to look for the right opportunities to upgrade my standard of living but all these years my love for small houses was constant.  You have to be very creative with small spaces as you need to fit in all the pretty stuff as well as the necessary stuff together.  And if that is something that gets balanced, then it fulfils your whole idea of making your house a perfect one.
