Love actually...

Why do you love someone? Is there any such thing as love at first sight? How do you define the chemistry between two people? Can any other feeling beat the "surreal yet nice" feeling of being in love? When do you realise you have found true love? Is commitment such a big deal? Is it possible to measure love? Is there any such thing like unconditional love? Is it possible to love someone just as much as they love you – not a little bit more, not a little bit less? Is it possible to be as committed as the other person is?

How long does one stay committed to a relationship? Does love stay forever? If not, what replaces that void? Do you have to work at a relationship after a certain point of time? Is there ever a "and they lived happily ever after" ending to a love story in reality? When do you realise that "things are not going to work out"? When do you actually do something about that realisation? Is everything over right after a breakup? Is there no hangover of all the lovely times spent together? Is it ever possible to unlove someone once you’ve loved them? Does the pain of heartbreak ever really go away? Is love better the second time round? Can "once-in-a-lifetime" happen twice?

Is "falling in love" more exciting than "being in love"? Does love make one weak or strong? Is love an addiction at times? Can friends become lovers? Can lovers ever remain friends? Is love really blind? Is love the only means to achieve happiness? Do people who write those soul-stirring love songs have love all figured out? Can words ever do justice to the emotion called love? Are we sometimes just in love, with love? Does love really conquer all odds? Does love always have to be this elusive? Does love always have to be that simple?

love actually....well if u like someone it does go without mentioning that ur comitted...wat varies is the level of commitment...commitment is a relative term and takes different terms...but most of the ppl mistake it to marriage that is so untrue....
well if things work out good between the two then maybe u can consider taking commitment to the next level...but for a relationship to survive the key is not love it is to do with understanding the person n be with him/her whe he /she needs u the most...
physical presence is not always imp its wats in ur heart that relly matters...
unconditioned love....is falling in love better than being in love...as for this..it depends..after a yr do u have the same eagerness to see ur boy/girl with the same enthu as u did the first time... do u still care bout him the same amt or more...if no is the answer thn thats not love its just the situation n circumstance that bought u guys together...
if u care bout the person more than u care bout urself...then that is true love....the very thought that god made an angel just for u n vise vesa is true love...whn u feel the punch when she gets the hit that is true love...whn u see the mirror and see her instead of urself that is true love...whn ur day is not complete without atleaat having a mail frm him/her that is true love...whn u feel lonely even whn u have all ur friends with u except HIM/HER that is true love....it is something deep in ur heart and u can never measure true love....
well being in true love is the best that can happen and this is not something that everyone get to experience it....its only a small fraction....
whn a break up happens a lot depends on the seriousness of ur relation...sometimes it is so deep that the void can never be completely filled...and u can never be frnds with her or him u broke up with...not bcos u don like her anymore...but u don want urself to recollect the memories u shared n feel more lonely...
"as the day dawns the rays draw weird pictures on the wall that reminds me of u.....as the sun sets it reminds me that ive survived another day without u....as the nt draws in i see ur shadow set behind me n i hear ur voice telling me that im one day closer and one day short of meeting u"...Niki :-)...keep smilin...god bless alll!!!!!

hey! too many questions to digest at one go!! hmm, why is it always called 'falling in love'..i wonder. great blog. i happened to have the works of all the impressionists downloaded on my comp, there are sme great artist comms on orkut too, chk them out. oh, and when you think of reading 'the namesake', go for her first offering 'the interpreter of maladies'..much better unless you've already read it!!
