Was thumbing through some of the posts of Renu, when I saw she has commented on some other blogs too...so went on to see what she has done...came across some very interesting pieces...Especially the one on "Love at First Sight"...Renu has commented thus:"I just said 'i wonder' bcos most of the cases that i hear are that guys go head over heels on somebody who they meet for the first time, without knowing anything abt the person"....Renu you had mistaken the meaning of Love....To Love a person after knowing everthing about him/her is more of rational, Logical "Decision", more of business transaction( atleast to me, IMHO)...that doesn't mean that Love is Illogical or Irrational....it is undefinable as rational or irrational....it is not something that comes from Head...it comes from Heart...I am not a unbeleiver of love at first sight...I never thought this thing is only with Guys...Renu....we had spoken enough about this I think....I would say more than enough...Neither of us had been able to convince the other about our stand point...but to say that this is more with Guys is a bit far stretched...hadn't you read Kambharamayanam and the almost immortal words..."Annalum Naookkinaan Avalum Naookinaal"..what is this, but Love at First Sight...I firmly belive in the power of heart(and Mind too) to make a judicious decision...But thinking of it, Love is a feeling..it is not a thought process, where you analyse pros and cons and then decide...Love is not something to decide, it is something to be felt..to be experienced...Would you call that Love what you have towards your Parents-Love after analysis???...Love by defintion is that affinity you have towards a person...Hatred can come after sometime(rather it shouldn't come immediately)...but Love can and should come at the moment you feel it...If you give your mind some space, then you invariably end up reasoning too much that you loose out on the experiencial part of Love...Love at first sight might not be the best way to go but to say that it is a bad way is illogic...To say it is a crap is stupidity...by doing that you are defining Love in your standards..you are putting conditionalities....that I would Love this person, if he/she confirms to a particular standard that I have set...
Will that be Love???...Aren't you just finding a match to suit you???.... This leads to another pertinent question...Is " To Love" is to find a match???.....Or is it a liking towards a person...if you need to like a person, is it necessary for you to know everything about him/her....There might be differences of opinions(Jus like Renu has)...but if you really love that person, can't you adjust with that too...
