Love has many forms. It could be a mother's unconditional love for her child..a mentor's guidance for his disciple...an elder sibling's affection for the younger one...a lover's burning flame of love for the beloved.

Love cannot be measured nor does it have any boundaries. Walls cannot confine it nor can it be restrained. It is like an eternal river which keeps flowing...giving life wherever it goes.

Love is a sense of freedom in suffocation. It does not always cause joy but can be the source of immense displeasure. Sometimes love becomes an obsession. Love sometimes becomes a game of agonizing pain.

Love and hatred. Pain and pleasure. Both are the two sides of the same coin. Who said love was easy? Being in love or loving someone is hard. Harder on the heart bearing the trauma.

Love teaches you lessons. Lessons learnt help you to move forward or you will continue to get burnt. Making mistakes is part of life. Repeating mistakes is being foolish.


Love for me has been a journey but I have yet to reach my destination. A path which is not easy to tread and yet it has become a necessity, a part of my life.

Love has changed me. It has taught me to breath again, to let go of my inner soul. It forces me to look at life from both perspectives. To embrace the good with the bad.

Love has given me D. My shining knight in armour. I told him to reach for the moon. I'm glad he was always persistent. Being together for such a long time, it just seems like yesterday that we had met for the first time! Time flies by and we have seen so much together. The feelings remain the same-the shy guy I met at CP!

Imagining life without my beloved is quite difficult. Yet I thank my stars or my destiny or should I call it my luck? He picked up the broken pieces and made me whole again. Sometimes miracles do occur. It's time you guys start believing in them as well! I was a skeptic yet life always changes with a single decision you take and never look back.

As Paulo Coelho aptly put it "And when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."

Sitting back listening to this song takes me back into time....when I was a fool...when I know I should have listened to my heart....to my instincts...as one of the benefits of being a part of the female race...our sixth sense is accurate most of the time...and yet I chose to love and lost....isn't that how we all learn? All I could think of was that I must be doing the right thing....what could possibly go wrong? I trusted blindly when deep inside from the bottom of my heart...I knew there would be consequences....but we only learn when we fall....that is what makes us stronger.

The feeling of trying to hold on to something that till date seems like an illusion...a dream....was I sleep walking the entire time? Why didn't I listen to my heart? Regrets....they never seemed to end....so this is how a heart breaks.....a cruel lesson of life we must go through....in order to grow as individuals. How does one hold on to sand? Well I tried. I tried really hard but I know myself....I would never be able to live like a caged bird...restricting myself from the breathe of life....no that is definitely not ME. Iam a free soul and do not like to be bound by anything....I wanted to rise in love not fall in love. I tried to put up with so much....so much was at stake....the man of my dreams....standing in front of me....in flesh and blood...yet reality seemed twisted in a sinister manner.

Then it happened. I could take it no longer. But why....why was I doing this to myself? Why was he acting this way? What had I done to deserve all this...should I have blamed it on my hard luck or destiny's way of showing me the light? I knew then...the meaning of a nervous breakdown. I felt disgusted and hated myself for days...how could I have trusted myself against my instincts?

There are many ways to hurt a human being. I realized it then. Not just physically but mentally as well. When someone takes hold of your emotions....your thoughts.....your soul....you become chained in yourself...you become your own slave...caught in a web of illusion. No but he must be right. This must be right. Is this life's way of playing a joke? Reality cannot be so harsh. Yet everything is fair in love and war.

Men can be so stubborn. The blame game continued even after the justifications were given. Who is wrong now? Some people will never change. I just take it as a lesson learned. A hard one at that. Only when you fall...do you learn to rise again....with more determination and persistence. For days I felt repulsed at my choice. The choice that I had made. I refused to believe that people could be so emotionless. That is how the game is played. Leave before realization strikes.

I'am sure I'm among the many faces in a sea of people who have been through something less excruciating or something far worse than I have. Move on. That is the rule of life. Time never stops for anyone. Not even death. The song that I dedicate to fellow bloggers in connection to this story is called Over by Lindsay Lohan. I know many of you might not like the artist but just listen to the song atleast once. Appreciate the lyrics is all I ask of you.
