LOVE in its PURITY





AUM!!!

I always ponder over one thing...over and over again…..LOVE.

I am a movie buff. Over the years Cinema has produced numerous love stories in different languages which have been box office hits. However there is one movie (though a commercial one) that caught my attention…Veer Zaara (I just finished seeing it for the 6th time). There might have been better movies made but my thoughts get s stuck on this particular one. It talks of love between a man and his woman…Love beyond lust, boundaries, physical needs, closeness and age.

There was one dialogue in the movie that attracted me… It talks about the difference between the love of a woman and his man, “Aurat apne dilon jaan se sab kuch lutaake apne mard ko mohabbat karti hain. Lekin mard mein aisi mohabbat karne ki taakat hi nahin hain.”

And I keep pondering over this. I have seen a lot of married couple ( I am married too ;-))I have been a witness to many relationships. But all the while I have noticed the difference, if not evidently, subtly.

Is it really true that a man cannot love like a woman? Is it because men do not have the strength to love like a woman or is it that GOD ALMIGHTY made us thus?

The same movie however talks of a man’s love too. The protagonist in the movie says, “Jab bhi aapko ek dost ki zaroorat pade, tho yeh zaroor yaad rakhna ki sarhad parek insaan hain jo khushi khushi apna jaan bhi de sakta hain.”

Does this kind of love happen only in movies? Or has the so called “MODERN DAY RUSH” taken the pure form away from us? Can a man and a woman still love each other with its entirety?

A few days back one of my friends ask me this, “Why is it that people are not happy after marriage, Nithya? Why is that at the most I see only one partner happy and the other dissatisfied? Well, I have no clue but these are questions that we all ought to think and realize what is happening with us.

Seeing the movie for the ‘Nth’ time, tears still flow down my eyes. Penning down my thoughts on this blog , I still have tears… this time not because of the movie but because of a question that runs in my mind. A Question to GOD, “GOD, you created us and through us you created LOVE . Does pure love and lovers beyond conditions really exist? If so please do give me one chance to meet them. I’d be the happiest. If they don’t, what is the purpose of of this world that you have created? WITHOUT LOVE???
