A beautiful poem by Aditya Awasthi to his fiancee

Don`t mistake me for irritating you
for every action has-many a view,
the day I saw u, the second time in life, i felt new,
Little patches of love in ur heart, I wanna sew.


I make no promise of stars n moon,
to say i love you, is too very soon.
I do want to enter your heart so tightly cocooned,
be left with you in this world, marooned.


The thoughts of what may come and go
in thy company, time itself would bow,
time flies often, it is said so,
with u n me together, old i wanna grow.


The tale of travels, love and wars
sweet talks over, marmalade jars
with our children sharing chocolate bars
& fantasy of aliens on planet mars.


A shadow of a dream, may i ?
A sweet little hut, in the country side, of u n my,
A summer house, with boats whistling by.
To hold dreams together, in truth and no lie.


A summer house in the mountains;
apples, peaches, pears, plums and marble fountains.


Evenings in the garden, fragrance of a day past,
of pets & children & time running fast
sweet little nothings, n gazes that last
our small tiny life, in this world so vast.


I learn a little and you from me a few
walk bare foot, on green grass and dew
hold hands, stare blank, in lieu
to thoughts, a dog bark n a cats meow.


I try hard to remember you in flesh and mortal being .
of your visage a glimpse that i`d seen
but fail to remember, as my brain in a sly smile glean
feel mesmerized with reminiscent thoughts so keen


Hold my hand and as you say, "go with the flow.."
for your happiness, i would take any a blow,
seeds of friendship, trust n love, let us sow
with time, happiness and a family we`d know.


I don`t know what tomorrow holds,
I don`t wanna know what the past beholds;
For the future together, we have to mould,
In the present, your hand shikha is what i want to hold.

- Aditya Awasthi

So, what is love?

Pre-Script: He must be read as he/she through this post wherever applicable.

My friends are watching videos of songs of a regional language of India. All the videos seem to revolve around love/romance. Most of the Bollywood movies are also based on love stories. People throng the theatres to watch these movies even if they can guess the entire plot from the trailers. They talk at length about their favourite part of the movie; they even suggest others that they watch the film. Do people love to watch love stories on screen because there is so little affection in real life?

I do not understand this - the same people who admire reel stories fail to love in real life! Why else do we have unhappy/broken marriages? Is it possible that one can stop loving his spouse after some years of marriage?

I do not understand the concept of break-up(s). Why would a person want to break-up with the one he loved? If a person does not feel the affection anymore, can the relationship he shared before be called love? Does one fall in love with a person or just loves the feeling of being in love? Billion dollar question!

Ok, before you have an impression that I do not see anything positive, let me tell you a happy tale I'm currently witnessing. It is so much fun to have a friend who is madly in love. You can pull her leg all day long. I ask her how she knows that he is "the one". She blushes saying "you just know it. How am I supposed to answer that question...(a shy smile)".

Thanks to technology, people in long distance realtionship are just a click away from each other. You will find them talking for so long everyday. They ask each other the same questions daily. I wonder if a person is asking these questions to find out if his beloved is fine or the conversation makes him feel good.

As for me, i'm just happy being outside the whole mire of these complexities and observing circumstances people in love are going through.
