Is this Love????

The so called image of Love which is very well created by the movies we see is so very different from the real truth of what Love really is.

The incidents which i have come across just makes me wonder "What is Love?"
Is there something known as "True love " and "Fake Love" or to be more precise "Timepass Love"?
One day i was travelling in a mini bus and just overheard conversation between so called lovers (Was just sitting idle and the guy was loud..So dont blame me for overhearing ;)
All they are talking about or should i say fighting about is why did u love me....
Is this suppose to be a logical end for a fancy love story?

Next day i see a guy in the railway station literally begging to a girl and the girl seems to be least bothered....The guy is not worried as to what the rest of the world thinks about him but all that is there in his mind is to have the attention of the girl...

Oh i have heard so many flop love stories..and less of successful ones...
Blame it to my friends who never had a fairy tailormade love story...
All i heard was : how should i forget ..why me..what was my mistake......
People who once said ' You mean the world to me...i cant live without you ' ...also speak sentences like you mean nothing to me.....

Seen a complete transition from Love to Hate.....
Yet no matter how much i hear about it yet i see more and more people eager to fall in love and go thru pain.... But Why ????????????
If we long so much for such humanly Love which lasts but for a moment how much more should we long for the everlasting Love from our heavenly father..Yet we often falter in that ....How ???

Long back i had heard this saying .. ' Why do people love the person who hurts them the most '..
though i never got an answer for that but i have seen live examples of such abnormal bahaviour........
Guess a part of this is how God loves us..knowing that we are the ones who hurt HIM the most....

The realisation of this heavenly LOVE just makes me want more of it ....
And more i compare the love i give to the idealistic love of 1 corinthians : 13 i just feel it will take me ages to reach there...but atleast i know i am on the way :)

Awesome passage :
1 Corinthians 13
Love
1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
9For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.
11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.
12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

The Little Joys of my Life

There are so many things in and around me that make me smile. But seldom do i really appreciate their value in my life.
These little precious moments may sound silly to many and at times they sounded the same to me also till i really understood the joy within me.
Watching the sunrise and sunset always make me smile . I never knew why and i am stil trying to find the philosophy over it. Nowadays i move out of my house so early that i am fortunate enough to catch a glance of the sunrise and i leave my office by sunset so i am more than fortunate to catch a glimpse of both sunrise and sunset. It just lasts for a moment but i cherish the smile . It simply sets my mood for the day.

The other thing is the romantic Mr. Moon. I just dont know what is the charisma of this object. But i can just gaze at it for hours. The calmness and coolness of the moon just makes me wish of having some loved one around to enjoy it together. But nevertheless i enjoy it hoping someone else is also gazing at it with as much curiousity as i am.

Hav you ever missed a train by a sec. Then i guess u wud also enjoy the joy of being able to catch a train on time. Oh there hav been so many instances when i hav caught the running train. Blame it on being part of the great Mumbai railways all my life.
The other thing i enjoy in trains is simply standing near the door (offcourse when its not crowded). The awesome feeling of having the air pass thru your face is just undescribable...
I love it :D

Most of us love rains and if u dont then u better start enjoying it. Oh there may be more than 100 excuses i wud hav made inorder to just step out when its raining. My Mom simply refuses to let me get wet and i find all the possible items to go out for shopping . It may be as simple as a soap to as complicated as a medicine we never use.. But i just need to step out. When the rain drops just fall on ur face, nothing is more fresh than this .....

Though i never really get that much time to be around a beach, but whenever i am around i enjoy watching the waves. Even as a child more than playing in the waters i hav always loved watching the horizon, the waves. My mom once t0ld me that there are two types of waves. A smaller one and a bigger one. The bigger wave tries to chase the smaller ones . I am not sure how much of this is true and scientific. I enjoy the calmness, the serenity around a beach.
Best is to alone and admire its beauty. I bet you would also smile.

I can go on and on and i am still discovering more and more such moments every day.
It is these special moments that make my life memorable to me.

A sentence changed a person's life . I hav witnessed it myself. The powerful sentence was :
"I wish to enjoy the happiness in small things". Thats exactly what i am trying to do now.

Enjoy every moment. You may never know when u missed a gem when u were busy hunting for the stones :)
