...

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like a volcano 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 inconcievable 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.



Peace

"Love has its beauty and its strain,its pleasure and its pain and with any piece missing,we are not the same."

Like they say - What's so romantic about growing old with someone? When does old begin? With first sachet of hair dye? Or when you start cutting down the sugar? For that matter, when does young end? You know it won't ever. Not when your eyes meet across a crowded room, and the magic is the same as the moment you met.

That, my love, is love.

itna nahi sochte bacche...you have to let go your emotions as well. the more you think, the more you will leave part of you in your past. cherish what you had, but its the present that you na baby..asa kay...ani this way you are achieving nothing but 1. hurt for yourself. 2. getting friends worried :) :P...

enjoy and look forward for your job, new place, new people. :).
