ISHQ , MOHABBAT aur PYAR....

Sounded weird didn't it !! Ever wondered why should it always be Pyar Ishq aur Mohabbat and not the other way round. See, this is what they say as thinking out of the box ...I say why go inside the box in the first place. Nyways what we'll talk about here is perhaps the most quotidian yet the most intriguing as well as interesting question that is at the focal point of most teen discussions today : WHAT IS LOVE ??

Well the same question was asked by my english teacher once in my school days and a girl very innocently (rather tried to be innocent) defined it as "what we have with our mother and a mom has with her child blah blah blah" Well its remarkable how perceptions differ with age!! These days even before falling in love with his mom, a boy falls in love with mallika sherawat. Well their definition of love would then be so ....physical :) Anyways I hope i dont have the former species of audience (if any then they rather log off)

Just digressing from the topic, once in a hindi movie i heard a father (kulbhushan kharbanda i think he was) saying this dialogue to his son "pyar to insaan ko bahut baar ho jaata hai par mohabbat sirf ek baar hoti hai" ... interesting na...i never knew that all these synonyms for love had such different meanings..

so TIP #1: Never use these words interchangeably :)

Moving on. Well most of our earliest perceptions of love derive their roots from the hindi movies and TV serials. And unfortunately, in most cases this continues to be the only source till marriage. Doston ko hi dekhkar pyar ko samajh bhi jaate hain aur unki galtiyon se seekh lekar hi kabhi pyaar karte hi nahi. These guys pretend and boast themselves of being very intelligent But are they really ??? Well for that you'll have to attend the practicals, theory just somehow doesn't suffice in this case.

so TIP#2: LOVE is a practical exercise aur sadly ismein lab partners nahi ho sakte !!!

But don't you under estimate these guys' concepts, i tell you. Well take my case, for example. If you ask me what does it really take to sweep a girl of her feet, i'd say my 4 golden rules:

#1 Show respect for her

ex. listening her patiently, be it however nonsense

never looking at other girls (atleast while she is around)

#2 Impress her best friend

Again very important. Once this is done, half the battle is won. But take care, dont over impress otherwise i've seen cases where proposals have been refused just coz her good friend was mad bout the guy. :)

#3 Looks don't matter

Infact i'd go one step further to say that it is quite the opposite. Most of the prettier gals have not so pretty boyfriends (although they wouldn't agree. For them, he'd always be the cutest) Being more handsome might sometimes be a disadvantage as gals then start feeling less secure.

OFF THE RECORD #1: This is the most popular way of covering up for some one's looks....he is CUTE...

How many of you agree that usually the best friend of an amazingly good looking gal is generally not so good looking (with all due respect). Its so because generally girls are very jealous of other's looks. Well that gives us my tip number 4

#4 Always satisfy your sweetheart's ego

meaning refrain from praising her friend's or for that matter any gals' looks in front of her (untill you just can't stop youself :)) For you she should always be way above the rest.

And there are sundry more....always look in her eyes, care for her smallest of things, never forget the birthdays and many other days that have come up, etc. etc.

But the point that I wanted to make was that how even without falling in love I managed to have a decent level of understanding about gals? And if so, then why people like me aren't so successful even after possession of all these tips and tricks ?? For people who don't quite agree with my fundas, well in that case they already have the answer to the latter question.

The catch here is of course that have I really not fallen in love ever before ?? Well keep reading and you'll soon find out...
