Pehli baar Mohabbat ki hai...aakhri baar mohabbat ki

In a very eerie sort of way these innocuous lines from Kaminey got me thinking about the
mankind's eternal quest of finding the holy grail to answer the question "what is love"...

Recently i read up a note in one of friend's book - which i am extrapolating to contemplate a thought :
"man is a social animal and needs others to complete himself, the degree to which one completes you would be an approximation of the love you'd have for him or vice versa"
well ya you guessed it right - my friend is an engineer.

Another commonly propounded 'love'-ingly judgmental thought:
someone who sits on judgment over what you say would not be your altar-ego. Corollary to it is - someone who you could speak your heart out without pausing and having to think about it, is the (wo)man!

What else -
John Keats (or was it Khalil Gibran) thinks that the love is all about the idea of love - (what did u expect from philosophy) - translation: it means that its the feeling when you give yourself completely away and is completely dissociated with 'expecting' anything in return!
(Now really! )

Some Say
It's when two people can (and still would want to) talk to each other (read tolerate) for endless hours - and even have the best time of life in each other's company without a word being spoken.

There's more
All of us have an aura - a circle of influence - a region around us created by the wavelengths radiated by our bodies.
And when we find the most comfort in this region of someone - that's when they say our wavelengths match.
(Aah now i remember getting bad vibes from ...)

My favorite one -
It's when you can FEEL (mind u, not understand) the pain of someone and would do ANYTHING, just anything to have it go away. Corollary being that you would bring the moon down to see a sparkle leave a hint of smile on that special face.
and yes it stands true for any kind of love!
