Dear Friends,
Today, as I write this mail, things are quite hazy......life is very uncertain, mysterious and has its own questions which have to be answered by everyone on his own. But there are somethings which have no answer at all and this is just one of those attempts to find an answer to that mysterious thing we call "LIFE".
I am sure, at one point of time or the other, we must have all thought about Life's best Spice called " Love " and the allied concepts such as Pure Love, Love at First sight.... the Ideal Lover ......etc.
If we try and analyse this phenomena called Love, you can say "Physical beauty / attaraction" is one of the mostly used criterias. But is this physical beauty able to keep up that relationship between a "Man and Woman" for a long time. Is the relationship sustainable on this aspect alone ?
How exactly do you define Love or...... Can you actually define Love ??!!!
I know a guy who at the age of 20 yrs is married to a Girl of age 18 yrs and says he loves his next door neighbour of the same age. He actually managed to send two similar Greeting cards......one to his wife and the other for his so-called girl-friend on the occasion of Diwali........with the same "Shayari" professing his true love for each of them.
God knows what would have happened if we had interchanged the Envelopes !!
On the other hand, I look at my Grandmother, who just could not accept the death of my Grandfather at the ripe old age of 84 yrs, this week. They were happily married for the last 63 years !! She still remembers each and every moment she spent with him and recounts the various funny encounters during his life time.
When I try and compare the above two situations, I just can't help but think :
"What exactly is the feeling which keeps up the bond between a Man and a Woman"
I am sure it cannot be Physical attraction cos u can't have that after spending ur entire life with the same guy and that too at the age of 70-80 yrs though it could be possible in the first case.
Well, personally, I can't see myself spending so much of time with the same woman...imagine spending ........ 24hrs a day, 365 days a year.
Would there be any particular item/ occasion which could serve as a surprise or keep up the interest in the opposite person for such a period. I think the feeling would soon die out after a very short time. What next ??
At the end of this analysis, the institution of "Marriage" and the strange phenomena called "Love" is still a mystery.................and I think will always remain a mystery !!!???
What do you say ???

P.S: Possibly, some of you could think it's a very boring narration. But, I just couldn't help it cos it's something which is very close to my heart.
