Upon loves.. crushes.. and beyond…

Incredible as it may seem or even if it may not this is definitely not the subject anyone would assoiciate me with…
I shall not dare and get into trouble by asking what love is… but on second thoughts maybe I will…..
Primarily I shall get into the intricacies of defining a crush.. why a crush, why isn’t it the same as love.. or can it be?? How come a brain (even of a kid) have an infatuation on another? Why even at a tender age…. When we aren’t actually aware of the real reasons for our existence.. maybe its quite natural .. infact as natural as any other thing…. But how is a crush different from love????
The trusth is maybe it isn’t different…. I have amused myself by getting down to a more basic analogy the theory of a biscuit and a dog.. the dog wants the bisuit…(atleast for now) itwasnts only thaaat particular biscuit…. Now presenting a whole new tray of freshly baked cookies the biscuit is forfeited for the cookies….. hence cookies representing new infatuations….
So then what is love and what is commitment??.... I have a dog over here…. That first found a biscuit interesting….. then nutricous… then attractive….. and then lucious …. And then so… on until the dog realizes that infact this biscuit gives a whole new meaning to his life…… I might dare venture out to say that the dog has mades his realizations in installments.. or maybe he hasn’t… who the hell knows what that stupid canine did…. the biscuit might be on any hill top… or at the bottom of the challenger deep….. but the dog wants it….. and he knows that there are maaaany obstacles ahead….. so many .. that he can only have a picture of the biscuit…
So why did the dog do this….. it might be an illusion to this world that the dog has after searching a long while has found a reason for his existence…. But actually if we observe carefully the dog has eventually created a meaning for his existence… yah that’s the word.. he has created.. it….
The biscuit might be anything/anyone….. if it is anything it is ok…. But if it is anyone.. then the dog is in for trouble….. assuming the biscuit has its own brain….. then the biscuit might or mightnot wanna be eaten by the dog.. or perhaps the biscuit maker doesn’t wana throw it to the dog…
So now the dog… wants to do something great that will take it into into the goodbooks of both the biscuit and the biscuit maker….. So eventually whatever he had planned for his life takes a backstage…… and what the biscuit and the baker think about the doggie positions becomes more important than what he really wanted to becum…… so what they liked???? Wazzit a sledge dog?? Was it a watch dog?? Was it a hunting dog??.. the dog was willing to do whatever it takes…..
We then have the beautiful theory of favourability which states “When u really want something.. the whole of the universe conspires to help you achieve it”…. It can be any blessed thing in this world any thing.. yah absolutely anything/anyone….. and for one to be eligible for it to apply….u just need to be true to urself ….and willing to do whatever it takes (like the cnn-ibn fellas)……. So then if the dog needs the biscuit badly enuf… the biscuit .. will atleas theoretically will change its mind…. And if the biscuit itslf wants to fall off from the table and get eaten.. can the baker really help????
But then.. if it goes otherwise…. Things are happening against the dog…. Then how does the dog eventually know when to give it all up??? And even if he does…. Is it demeaning of him?? How does he know that the biscuit is unattainable?? And if he switches to another biscuit.. realizing the present one is unattainable.. is it demeaning of him??? Wont it be a compromise?? Is it not what the most of the caninekind does??? These questions need serious attention and need to be answered by a canine psychiatrist…

We call it a marriage.. a wonderful acronym for compromise….. it wudnt be flattering if we say that 70 percent of the marriages that happen are compromises.. out of the rest 30 pc atleast 15pc are fooling themselves by thinking its not a compromise…. And hence only 15 pc actually by default lead a happy life.. with kids and all….. I don’t implicate that the the rest aren’t happy…. But they have to make a special effort to be happy.. and many do it..even if it is a make believe…. who wants to lead a miserable life?????

Love is a word that has so many forms…. So many senses… we see it daily… if a boy says “I love you to a girl” his cheeks get disfigured for a day… if a boy says same to another boy its termed a s homosexuality… why the hell??? Why is love taken always in terms of sexuality??? Why has it always got something to do with whats present between our legs… why cant we assign a broader meaning to a thing sooooo simple and so wonderful… that it has never been quantitavily measured….. no theory was ever formed… why??? U ask why??? Its becuz every one understands it so welll.. that only a jobless fella like me shall go ahead and analyse it….but I sure feel a need for it to be done…. So can love evr be generalized??? Yah itsure can.. if we make an effort…

Let us not take things for granted…. I have always had this feeling .. that wahetevr love that we have for our parents/bros/sisters/cousins/doggies anyone.. let us not think twice b4 we express it to them…. Let us not wait for tmrw. Thinking ill earn and do this and do that….and stuff.. and letus also not assume that “they anyway will know..howmuch I love them”.. what if it doesn’t happen… what if u die the next day.. u wont get to earn and show off …. Then what?? How will they ever know how much u loved them???.. have we ever thought.. how easily we react to anger?? And the awesome effort we put in to show ppl that we are angry by breaking crockery??? If we put in even half such an effort in exhibiting our love… world wud be such a beautiful place…. The word ego shall for forever become obsolete…..

Through out…. this I haven’t made a point ….. oldmen like me don’t bother making points…. However if the points decide to make themselves then I cant help it… it was a pure bleed extempore.. so forgive me if it makes somewhat less sense than what I usually make…. However ppl trying to find a motive behind this shall be doing themselves a great disservice for they shall be shot at point blank range…. Hehe.. cheerio…. Lets make life better on the third planet from the sun….
