If someone asks me 'What is love?', then my simple answer would be, "It is something which comes to you in as natural way as possible. It doesn't come with a greeting card or an email. What you need to do is to simply go with the flow. It will have its own ups and downs but that's okay. In fact it is the beauty of love that it has the strength to overcome all kinds of obstacles that may come into its path."

Initial days or the 'Honeymoon Period' as what youth these days calls it is supposed to be magical. The first holding of hands or the very first hug is when you get goosebumps all over you body. Things go as smooth as butter. When you love someone with all your heart, you never think what he may feel about your physical appearance. You expect him to love you from within and in return, you give him all you have. 

Love never judges you but you have to judge it. Not because you want to test the person but because you have to be careful before sacrificing all your life to that one person. If he truely loves you, he will never hesitate holding your hands in public. If he really loves you, he will never become concious about his own dreams as his dreams would merge with yours the moment he becomes passionate about you. The day you come to know about this, just hug him once and show him how much you love him.

But, it is not always a gala time for the two beloved people. The 'society' never hesitates in adding hurdles into the vital love story of the two people. They want to unite but they fear the judgements of the society and so they are forced to doubt their own 'togetherness'. They start thinking whether is it worth being together or not. This dilemma makes them so engrossed in their thoughts that they FAIL, not in love but in society. 'Society has done this'- they blame, but they dont realize the fact that they have made the society do this. They should think about the society but not on the condition of their love. 

A perfect example of love is the love between parents and child. It comes from whithin and you don't feel obligated to maintain it. Parents have this selfless habit of putting their children's desires first. They work day and night to fulfill their children's wishes. This is what true love is about. It has many sides, its all about exploring what one may feel and cherish for the rest of his life. It has to be felt by all its senses and brain has nothing to do with it. So keep it aside and love as long as you can!
