INTOXICATION

You might be wondering how I came up with “this” topic. The answer is simple, I have been a victim of the very word since days or perhaps months. I thought I’d rather describe in the form of my verses. Some of you might have experienced the same and it’s difficult to sense and then let it go: bewildering feelings.

I think there is no literature in the world which lacks or exclude the existence of love,

whatever terrain or creed it may be. Many famous writers have tried to explain this feeling in their own ways like Shakespeare, Anton Chekov, G.B. Shaw, etc. Beside the fact they “they” have written the world’s best love stories, I think they have failed to explain this love precisely or universally. Is it that this thing called “love” be so expansive that it is beyond the understanding of human realm? 

Many a times when we are among peers we feel superior when we explain the quotes like “Imagination is greater than knowledge” better but let me tell you these quotes are merely the conclusion of the experience felt by the person who quoted it. So is the explanation of love as described by the famous or may be the axiom writing about love centum pristine.

I remember when I was in Grade XII, we were starting a new chapter called ‘about love’ by Anton Chekov. Before we initiated the chapter we started a conversation about the same and in meanwhile I was asked to present my opinion. My first explanation based on day to day sight and media entertainment about ‘love’ came instantly. And it was “love is like a deep ocean in which if you fall once you can’t return back.” And now I think that I was immature and that kind of explanation was obsolete or perhaps a juvenile one. It is said that man understands things better when he experiences the same. 

So……, what could be love? Human kind has tried to explain it since long time. Could it be a sharing of feelings? Liking each other despite of the resistance they possess? Making love? Feeling of one’s self esteem high as being on the top of everything? There could be many explanation as per the condition of so called ‘love’ we look. You must know that at last you’re to end up at same common thing i.e., attachment of two different/same thing so as to produce highly agreeable and ease feeling which could also ruin you if not cared properly and cherished properly. 

Let’s illustrate this in terms of mathematics. How do you solve an equation ‘x2-3x+2=0’.   Simple factorization! But what if coefficients of ‘x’ is changed? The answer may come different but sense remains same and also the process.

That is why you don’t have to ruminate into this feeling because the feeling of love is inevitable and you can’t terminate as it is natural. As you may known that a pregnant mother always loves her child no matter what! Whether the child is a girl or a boy! But the intellect like thing you can do is to transform this feeling into good thing. But deploring this feeling may make you coward.

So, if I have to recapitalize this into a phrase then what I would like to say is, there is no perfect explanation what love is or could be. Perhaps everyone has one and it is unique to them. Don’t try to search it in books, movies or facts because they will deceive you and amalgamate your unique definition.

My Introspection

How tangential our decisions are??

We only dream but fear to convert them into reality. Have you ever gave a thought about them….? What we do these days is we just see things; we don’t observe them, we don’t think about them, we don’t play those characters in real life.

It is one of the unbelievable irony of life that only selects few people to that elite level; they are raised from many disappointments, failure, afflictions and the list goes on. You might have heard about people like Steve jobs, Paulo Coelho, Albert Einstein, J.K. Rowling etc. Life tested them so hard that those hurdles instead became stepping stones to their success. Those hurdles were not hurdles

as we take them but a catalyst which helped to succeed. I think the true glimpse of life was seen by them and will be seen by such people only.

We are protégé and we seek mentor; we go to educational institutions or other places to gain knowledge but the is in this process we lose our common sense and gain what called knowledge.  But let me tell you, knowledge is a collection of facts; they’ll take you to nowhere. We should be ready to learn every true thing.  It is not always necessary to run behind such austere things but sometimes you need to slow down so that you can be aware of what circumstances are prevailing around you. This will help you to prepare your plan ahead. Let me tell you my friends that the slowing down is called patience. Patience is the key which you must possess to learn.

Don’t give up your dreams. You must know that they aren’t meant for nothing but for something. So you must be jubilant and feel luck that you get such enigmatic experiences. One should know how to care those experiences and nurture them so that one can learn and prosper more because their only purpose is to make you better. And the thing is that you have to critique it.

Hope you understood it well and imply it into your life :-)
