This thing called LOVE

 This emotion we call LOVE is very powerful, so powerful that it can make you lose sleep, lose your appetite and most of all lose your head (no pun intended). Yes even in history we read that quite a few men and women, lost their heads, literally for love.

LOVE is a great feeling and as human beings we all need love in order to thrive. We need to give love and to receive it also. The sweaty palms, the loss of speech (sometimes) and the fluttering of our hearts are all signs that we are in love. We see the person we love walk towards us and a huge wave of warmth and happiness fills us. Even when we see old friends whom we grew up with, there is a warmth that fills us also. It's a combination of times we shared, funny incidents in the classroom or lecture rooms, getting stuck in the snow, or making a mad dash for the nearest Coffee shop as the rain suddenly came down.

I know there are different types of love but I am not going to list and define them because they all are an integral part of life. Even from what I describe above, one should be able to know that I am combining all the different types. Sometimes love is just sitting together and not saying anything in particular..smiling at intervals at one another and yet carrying on reading your novel or playing a game of chess.

Love is walking in a park, admiring the flowers, trees, birds and truly appreciating how much we need to preserve our environment. Love is helping someone less fortunate than yourself and ensuring that they too have someone to mentor them.

Last but not the least, tell someone that you love them today! Don't wait for tomorrow or next week, tell them today.
