Love - The dictionary meaning to this word is "A strong positive emotion of regard and affection, Any object of warm affection or devotion, A beloved person; used as terms of endearment, A deep feeling of sexual desire and attraction". Come to think of it, when we think of love, we don't run to the dictionary to know what it really means. These are the inborn qualities that the Almighty has bestowed upon us without, we asking for it. We live our lifetime with these wonderful traits without truly utilizing them at the right moment and in the right amount.

Love is not just a strong feeling it’s a way of life, it’s the basic layer of life, which is not just underlined by all religions but by each individual on the face of earth. Love is bonding, believing, trusting, and the one trait, which comes so very easily to each one of us. Why just human beings, this is amongst all the living beings of the world. Love is not just going weak in the knees or your heart thumping at speed faster than light. It’s the feeling u get for every being around you. A proportion of this feeling varies with people. Our first priorities are our parents, for they are the reason why we are in the world, these are the people who form the center of our universe. Then come family, friends, people whose company we enjoy. People who just make us smile, laugh, who brighten our day. Such strong is this trait that we can fight the entire world with just the support of one person who would just believe in what we say.

If u are wondering why this sudden topic, well, I have not been bitten by the love bug, just that while brooding over life, I was reminded of this one quality, which we always tend to over see. Guess it’s rightly said that we say “Love u” to people who mean to us. So what if their contribution to us is not the size of the pin. What I understand about love is, Loving is giving and receiving as well…Love is letting the people u like lead their life, Love is just thinking of the people who mean to you. Love is the smile u find on the person’s face when they see you. Love is people encouraging u, criticizing u, listening to you, and pointing the wrong from the right for you. It’s a very strong assets, utilization of which is in our control. And we should not be meager in distributing it to the world.

As a poet rightly said “ Ishq ne kiya humme nikama, warna humbhi admi the kaam ke “ (its love which made me useless, else I was also a person of worth)
