I want you to express,
the emotions which you usually suppress….
I want u to talk to me when I am alone,
but, on the wish of your own…
I want you to talk with the similar excitement,
that you show when you look at me with astonishment…
I want you to open your world to me,
which is as deep as sea…
All I want is, you to understand,
there is a distance which we need to withstand…

"LOVE", WHAT IS IT?
“LOVE” what is it?
Love, central theme for many bollywood movies, source of inspiration of innumerable poetries, something we all have experienced in some form or the other still it is so mysterical?
In one of our class we were asked to define love, we all were clueless, we didn’t have a definition as we have for other thing like branding, pricing etc
MBA student known for there speaking abilities
were sitting dumb. At most we could say was a part of it but not exactly what it is, so I thought exploring it.
Love, a magical word that makes your life so colorful and worth living. Ist feeling encountered, since we take our breath in form of touch of mother. No matter how much love we have we always desire for more.
It is also interesting to see how love changes its form, in childhood we want love from our parents, siblings, and friends, but as we grow up we pine for someone else. We start walking holding fingers of our family members, in a way LOVE GIVES SUPPORT AND STRENGTH. When we fall they are always there to hold us, sit with us.
Remember, how we entertain a child when he cries or falls, in a way LOVE GIVE ASSURANCE. We grow up, with our siblings and friends and share a lot of things which we don’t tell to our parents, thus, LOVE BUILT TRUST.
WE grow up seek another person in our life whom we think will complete us. Neither each of our life is perfect, nor are we, still we live happily because we accept them as they are, thus, LOVE COMES WITH ACCEPTANCE.
If for a moment I imagine absence of this form of love in life then life seems impossible. it may be cliché, but then its absolutely true that love only gives. I still, may not have been able to touch all aspect of it. if not one aspect of it, instead all of them. this is another that one think love so deeply, when I actually want to ponder over it.
When am with my loved ones, I really don’t think what am giving or getting. I just like to live with them and enjoy.
But 1 question comes to my mind why 1 form of love changes to another?.
Why do we crave for other forms we grow up?
Please allow me to enter unchattered water. We all know how common it is, boyfriend and girlfriend and equally common the velocity with which they change, is this love?
If yes why so much noise about moral issues?
Lord Krishna Had more than 100 wives (please forgive me if data is wrong, i didn’t goggle 2 confirm it),in Mahabharata draupadi had 5 husbands n there r many more example in Hindu mythology. But now couples are not free 2 walk around in parks, or celebrate Valentine’s Day. Though love is so natural, still we as society impose so many terms n conditions on it. Why?

The Man from the Earth
Watching the movie was an amazing experience because of the two reasons. First, the movie itself is wonderful, a must watch. Second, the environment in which I saw it. You come for exam, certain of the fact that something new is going to happen, and found that it’s a movie which you have to watch. For the first time in my life, I have given an exam which was so relaxing and so much entertaining. That itself made the movie more special.
Talking about the movie, it was so interesting and engrossing that after a while I forgot that it’s not real. After it ended, a logical question came to my mind that how come the protagonist, John Oldman, was present at all the important time era. For example, he has travelled almost entire world witnessing all the important mile stones in the world history. He travelled to east and lived with Gautam Buddha for a while, he himself was Jesus Christ, and he had seen Van Gogh, Beethoven, and Columbus etc. To me, it was not the protagonist telling his story but the whole mankind tracing its journey since its evolution. As if, it was the story of humans starting from their settlement in civilization, witnessing changes in geographical structure of earth, braving deadly diseases to the advancements we have now achieved. After seeing the protagonist, nobody can imagine that he was actually a Cro-Magnon. Similarly, seeing the present form of mankind nobody can imagine all the things that came in existence before this period.
In our hectic life we rarely think about these issues like how we have evolved, what changes have we brought in our way of living, how complex we have made it? But the movie makes you pause and think for the moment. In the movie the protagonist confesses that with the advent of city culture it became difficult for him to lead life simply. At times, he had to even fake his death. This made me realize, how unnatural we have made our life. Man is called a social animal and animals like to roam around freely but for us we need visa and passport to travel to countries whose border we ourselves have defined.
Apart from this, the movie also reflected the innate nature of humans. It’s strange to accept but equally interesting that we tend to listen, see, do, and believe what we want to and think that’s the only reality. It was evident from the movie, when John was telling his colleagues about his reality; they all were so uncomfortable, asking so many questions to prove him wrong. At the same time, Edith, a firm believer and an expert in Christianity finds it difficult to believe that Jesus Christ still exists. On the other hand, the behavior of Sandy was so different just because she was in love with John. May be love brought that entire acceptance in her; she was not at all perturbed and surprised with his reality. Towards the end of the movie, when he confessed that it was all a fiction, all of them were relieved and comfortable.
In the whole process, it became clear that it’s very difficult for us to accept new realities and adapt to changes. We think that the limit lies to the extent we know the things. It answered some of my queries too. Many a times, I held different views about the things being discussed in ethics class because that went against what I have studied in biology but, at that time I forgot that we still know very little and thousands of research are going on throughout the world to unfold nature’s mystery. The basic tenet of science lies on questioning because nothing is true for forever. Even truth changes with context. If we retrospect in past, things were imagined in arts first and then discovered by science. So this movie made me learn that thoughts are really precious, who knows what they will lead to discover.
But, even with so much advancement have we changed? Copernicus, Columbus etc all faced resistance from the masses when they tried to say something new and John faces the same thing in the movie. What will lead to this kind of acceptance is still a question?
