I think love is ...

// My morning musings //

"I think love is ... "

During a recent conversation with a friend, I noticed how from being a cynophobic, she has transformed into a cynophilist. Well, for the uninitiated, she used to be absolutely scared of dogs but now she has a pet at home ! An adorable puppy ! 🐕

So much so that the little puppy at home pounces up onto her bed every morning, eagerly waiting for her to open the eyes so that they both can play together. And my friend tells me that if she gets a day off, she would just want to spend it entirely with the puppy. 

During my morning musings in the balcony of my home, I realised that the fog gave me a lot of clarity on what happened to my friend. Essentially, she fell in love. I simplified it further and came up with my own interpretation of 'definition of love'. 

Love is - 

1) Willingness to change ... That the person is willing to accommodate, adjust, adapt and still have fulfilling time. 

2) Fulfilling time ... Time that the person wishes never ends. It's something that people call as soul-satisfying or addictive time ! 

3) No expectations ... This, I think, is the most important of the three. It isnt necessary that you get the same love back. Yet you can let your lifetime pass by just being in love. And that's why also many poets have flooded the space with verses on one sided love. 

And I applied these three to almost every possible combination like -

- Husband-Wife 

- Grandfather-Grandchild 

- Person-Purpose 

- Friend-Friend

- Human-Pet 

Really believe that those who have experienced love are truly fortunate. If you have someone in your life who loves you, then take care of them. It's priceless. 

Stay loved.
