Love makes the world go round

Hello Sugar Lumps...!

Today's blog is written because a friend of mine, who is a downright romantic, told me that I have the most quirkiest views on 'LOVE'.

NO. I won't be talking about 'What is Love?' or 'How to fall in Love' or its side effects or whatever-the-fudge (I won't be using bad words. This blog is for a family audience).

Today, I intend to share the types of love that I have seen around in my lifetime. Whether personally or my friends or family. I am sure you've seen it too. So let's boogie and here starts the first kinda love.

The Puppy-Dog Love

This is simplest of 'love' out there. 1 Boy. 1 Girl. Very much in love. They're constantly thinking about each other. 24x7 texts & calls. You know the drill.

Of course I've seen this mainly with couples who are in their honeymoon-phase of their relationship. But, there are a few who continue to do so even after this phase. Kudos, to them 'coz I can't seem to understand how they manage it.

Well anyway, what I fancy about this sorta 'Love' is that, it is simple. There are no complications. No hassles. They just want to be with each other. A fight lasts no more than a day and they patch up. You get it.

Simple. Clean. Fun.

Everyone with this 'love' between them - Keep at it.

The Love-The-Way-You-Lie Love
Okay you've all heard Eminem's Love the Way You Lie (lovely song, isn't it?). If you haven't then, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE? GO LISTEN TO IT!

Now I'm guessing you've seen the video too (I'm sure all you boys have! Megan Fox got your attention in it, didn't she?). Get back to reality boys. Megan Fox is not where I was getting around. The song/video describes a very fiery, dysfunctional, turbulent relationship.

The couple love each other, hate each other, God-knows-what each other and still need to be with each other. I, for one, have never understood this sorta 'love' fully. But I've seen people who do go all out in the relationship.

This 'love' is complicated. Its messy. It's not something I understand, personally.

So, if hurling abuses or throwing-of-utensils is your thing, please go ahead. Whatever works your jelly. Just keep the 'love' alive.

The Ishq-Wala-Love Love

Let me be clear. No, I am not talking about some weird Student-of-The-Year threesome.

This 'love' is special. Have you ever loved someone so much that you'd give up him/her for their happiness? Now I know, most of you out there might be putting their hands up like eager little kids but mind you, its tough.

For the one's who have felt this strongly for someone, you guys are great. True Gems.

For the one's who know people like them and are blessed enough to be with the True Gems, what can I say? You lucky dog, you. Don't lose your Gem.

For the one's who know people like them and don't happen respond to their feelings for whatever reason, you just lost out on something monumental.

So, a 'love' beyond love, that's what you get in this one. I hope you strive to get a Gem for yourself.

Mujhse More-than-'Fraandship' Karoge?
Oh I see some smiles on your faces. You know what I am talking about already, don't you? *Evil Smile*

So you have a best friend. You share everything with him/her and before you know it, crafty little cupid strikes and you've fallen heads over heels in 'love' with your bestie.

And now you're stuck. To tell or not to tell. That's the question.

Now all of you will go through one of the four said situations:

  • So you pull your socks up and decide to tell your bestie. He/She is ecstatic. Your bestie feels the same way. Hurray for you! The world rejoices with you two and you two have your happily-ever-after.

  • You pull your socks up. He/She accepts. Everything seems La-Di-Da and then you break-up. Your 'love' goes down the drain and your bestie won't see your face again. If you've gone through this, I hope you've recovered, brother!

  • You pull your socks up. You tell your feelings. He/She declines and you get (read with a booming voice) FRIENDZONED. Ouch! Sticky situation to be in. Your 'love' remains incomplete. So most of you just move on OR the few Gems continue to love 'em secretly and you have your 'Ishq-wala-Love'. I just hope you Gems find something beautiful. You deserve it.

  • Last option: You don't say anything. You let it be. Life just goes on for you and probably you remain always in love with him/her or you remain forever alone.

    But the catch out here is, it's just better to tell your feelings, no? I mean, consider yourself 30-40 years down the line, waking up next to someone you don't fancy. At least you won't be waking up with regret that you didn't really know your bestie's feelings.

So you decide what's better. Pump up your moxie and just find out what written in your fate.

Now folks, that's all from my side. That's all the 'love' in the world I've seen. If you've seen more, share your views. I'd love to hear your stories.

Till then fall in love. Give love a chance. Be intoxicated with it. 

P.S. For some weird reason, I had the song - Love Makes the World Go Round by The PowerPuff Girls, humming in my head, while writing this blog.



Until next time... Adios Amigos..

  1. Nice views, Blogger.
    Love is a complex thing, yet the simplest feeling. Much like 'happiness', that you discussed in your previous entry.

    There is one kind of Love you missed out.

    The 'kabhi alvida naa kehna' love.
    No. I'm not talking about exotic New York locales, Chiffon Sarees and 'claasy' velvet overcoats.
    I'm talking about the love, after 2 people get together. The Love which usually creeps in AFTER the honeymoon phase(of a relationship). The love, which very often is responsible for the 'long-distance-doesn't-work' theory. The love which connects you to somebody other than the person you're actually with.
    Before marriage, it's called 'phase out'/'fall apart'/'long distance'. If it happens post marriage, then brace yourself; you're in deep trouble, you 'cheater'.

    In these cases, the person who 'branched out' or 'cheated' is always considered a villain, a cheat, a liar, a 'loose' person or generally, a bad person. All our sympathies go to his/her partner (official one). There is no peace. The scene is horrid.

    But for the person who found new love; what must his POV be. He can't be happy with his new, perhaps 'real' love. Some ppl might go on and say he doesn't deserve to be happy. He loses on every side. Friends, Family, everyone hates him. He can't see himself in the mirror. Just because he found a better connect, a 'real' connect with a third person; who will also go though hell cursing oneself.

    So, folks, there is no Happy Ending here. Make your decision wisely. Use your heart while committing yourself; not your brains. Cause if you choose with your brains, your heart might find it's companion in someone else!!
    If you already have chosen your way, stick to it. Make it the bet way instead of searching for better ones!
    Sayonara!! :)
    And blogger, your blog is beautiful. It's a pleasure reading it. You've a deft flow of words. Some phrases work like magic. Keep it up. Keep stirring! :D
