philanderer's phrase



My favorite description of love is from the movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin
"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
-St. Augustine

From the times of Romeo-Juliet to the ultra modern era the most significant thing that has changed (other than technology) is the so-called “love”. Today the so called “love” has more lewd intentions than it ever had (yet we are marching to the 1st century very proudly). We can’t impugn from the fact that love and lust today are juxtaposed by each of the so called “lovers”.
Love today can just be compared to a hotel, where the looks and services really count for. If the service is good then the “customer” returns else finds a new hotel. This article is  not a lampoon to the love but its lamenting on the fact that love has become a inane.
On one side where the “Honour killings ” rock the country, on the other side “the one night stands ” make the society infantile. Both of the above happenings are just manacle to the developing society. With the advancement of internet the love has really transformed itself into another “scrap” (it should be rather called as a crap). The Valentine’s Day essence has just been commercialized for selling the cards and gifts and the rest is done by the R.S.S and viswa hindu parishad.
Now what really matters for a boy to be a good lover??
 If you ask a girl “does look matter? “she would definitely deny the fact. But it really does matter. The very first thing a guy/girl looks for in his/her companion is definitely the “looks”. But what really counts for guy is to have two features. He should be “caring” and “daring”.
Let me explain you in the a-z of love(what it really meant ) :
Love is associated with Adjuration of romanticism, Beatified dreams, Crescendo of excitements, Demeanor of respect for the other, Elysian smile when you see the other, Frenetic thoughts, Galleon of tears when you miss the other, Halcyon walks with  hand in hand with other, Imbue with gestures of the other, Jibe to every demand of the other, Kaleidoscope of emotions, Loquacious sessions on the phone, Mesmerized by the looks of the other, Nubile plans, Oaf actions to catch the attention of the other, Penchant for remaining close with each other, Quagmire voice when with the other, Rabid action to meet the other, Sanguine on the thought of the other, Trepidation of losing the other, ubiquitous feeling of the other ,Visceral sensations, Waggish pranks, Xanax like words of the other,yen for company ,zeal of the every other guy/girl around the other......
