Love… lots said, heard and done but still few hidden concepts of it need to explored. Yesterday night while discussing the married future came across interesting explanation and variants of Love…
I would say Love all…it has a multiplier effect. May be my friend and I were too aware of this concept so we never thought of hiding it in our sub conscious. We spread Love all over,you see..Love all. ;) Even though in some cases it resulted in Pain and in some just a Time pass.But after so many years of experience with love i was able to discover few enumerated variants of Love.. Childhood Love would be too early, so thought of staring from Puberty.
1) Love at First Sight/ Fling /Attraction/ Puberty Love: This variant of Love happens when we are on the threshold of puberty or have just attained it. We can get attracted to boy next door, our stud looking male teacher,hot looking female teacher, the most popular or good looking guy in the class room, so on and so forth. Heart beats faster than usual when we see this person or he/she just passes by.Game over if our Love talks to us, then we spend whole night thinking about him/her. Well not much qualification for this kind of love is required apart from attaining teenage and you are ready to understand the first feeling of love and pain.When your guy/gal talks to anyone else in front of you you are red with jealousy. I can describe it at length but don’t want other variants to be ignored at all.
2) College Love: This variant of love happens when you fall in love with guy /gal as you enter first year of college. He/she seems to be the Mr./Ms. Right for you.You wait for your fling at the college gate imitating as if you are ignoring him/her but take a sigh of relief as soon as he/she enters the college gate,it seems you have got oxygen to breath and his absence you feel highly distracted and cannot concentrate on lectures, if at all you take pains to attend them .If at all he/she is attracted to you then trust me you have an interesting college life.Your Eros is in its form. Love seems in air. Cell phone all the time charged and balance is never low. Bunking college becomes a regular feature. Expectations high and can’t stand someone from opposite sex even close to your philo. This would consume my whole night so cutting it short coming to next variant. Well,a secret disclosed here,don’t tell anyone that I fell in Love at least five times or more during college.
3) True Love: The purest form of love where feelings come from deep within. This is kind of love where sense of belonging is too high and affection is to its maximum. You and your partner may meet in various ways but end up committing to stay with each other throughout life. After having understanding of basics of a love relationships due to experience with teenage love, fling, attraction, college love so on and so forth, you are all set to fall in True Love. You find your partner to be best in the world, everywhere you see you find him/her.Miss him to the full. When he/she is there the world seems complete and when gone for a minute seems like longing for centuries. This is True Love. You love him/her even for the reason you are not aware of. He/She is world to you. Generally this kind of Love is never one sided and only happens once in life time. This form of love may even result in Wedlock in few cases in rest especially in Indian Society like ours efforts generally go down the drain but who cares from the past experiences of your friends and others. You are resolute to fall in love over and over again. Whether it results in long term relationship or ends with ocean full of tears or listening to sad songs and what not. Sad but it happens.
4) Workplace Love: Well this is another unheard variant of love that I explored yesterday. As name suggests it this generally happens when you enter the workplace, where some like to see you and others you would like to be seen by. Workplace is a monotonous place but if you are in love with someone at workplace then believe me your caliber to work increase fourfold and you spend long working hours just to spend time with that person. Workplace seems to be the best place then. After office dates, movies, parties with your workplace partner slowly creeps in your regular routine. Generally this variant of love is least serious one no feeling of belonging and feeling of tenderness is absent. The irony of this variant is it changes as you change your workplace.It’s like next person is the best person.
5) Party Love: Well when you start working move out , you socialize by weekend partying official/unofficial, where you come across tempting guys/gals where one is hotter than other. Your motive and mood is enjoyment in way you understand enjoyment is. You hang out, party like animals. But this kind of Love only happens to people who strongly believe in the corporate proverb of “Work Hard and Party Harder” and party even harder when you come across enticing people. You talk to them in loudest of music, share views and drinks even and finally share contact numbers although you may even not remember the person’s name next morning but still you just can’t stop yourself from doing it.
6) Matrimony Love: Now comes the most realistic version of love which is not guide by any feeling of affection. Its master or guide is feeling of life time security. You must be surprised to read this one,as this form of Love was never heard before as it has been discovered yesterday night itself. It can be described as form of love that happens when you are tired and sick of other forms of love and want stability in life and have reached a marriageable age. You give up falling in love guided by your instinct. You become a subscriber of various matrimony sites, give advertisements in newspapers, ask your parents to find a partner for you as you don’t trust your abilities to find partner for yourself any more. You motto in Life becomes Settlement and Stability. You talk to every guy/gal you come across through matrimony sites. Start selecting guys/gals like clothes which best suits you and is lifetime durable. You don’t know which move to make but you keep on making various unreasonable moves. You make quite clear look other guys/gals who like you, that You have attained a marriageable age now so no more flings now ...only Settlement is what you want.Last word, I have experienced them all. Some lead to feeling I never wanted, some made feel the way I felt for the first time, some I enjoyed, some I hated and made me feel really treacherous but with years of experience with various forms of love,I have finally reached the stage of Matrimony Love. "Mum…. I want Settlement as per your wish…"
Thanks to all those who made me experience this to an extent that now at least I can right something about it.
Nice thought.........tough lot more things varies from person to person.......their thoughts, their attitude towards life, feelings and love.
ReplyDeleteAnd one thing i can add on is silent love.......which is never told but felt throughout life. Its without expectation......of being together... It just...you wish well being of each other.......
Never thought that one can categorize the love like this...I always believe that love can happen so many times but it can be true only once..!!!As you grow up in age..u'l come across some more variants of love...Agreeing with 'Detached' silent love holds a firm place...!!! Nice work Neha :) loved d last line mamma...!!!
