Falling In Love!

“Falling in love” – I often wonder why do people say that? Why can’t people rise in love? It’s a question; you will not find an answer to unless you “FALL” in love yourself!
Have you ever heard of a love story with no tragedy that is so eternal? Whether you consider the great works of Shakespeare such as Romeo-Juliet, or the Arabic love legend of Laila-Majnu, or the great Indian love stories such as Heer-Ranjha or Devdas; you will not find a smile on your face after you have studied their stories. Almost all great works of literature have an essence of love, but it is hard to think of a legendary love story, on top of your head, that would bring a smile on your face.
One may have heard it a million times how beautiful and refreshing - falling in love is; that everything seems so beautiful; you talk to the moon to convey your message to your beloved when your beloved is away from you; walking back home in the rains with no umbrella even when you are holding one in your hand, and kicking the rain water in playful mood; singing and writing love songs that may make no sense at all to most of your friends; lost in the thoughts of your beloved even when in the crowd! Oh well, I must say it is all just the beginning of the greatest fall you may have ever experienced in your life!
I bet there are two types of falling in love… One in which you just keep falling and you never reach the bottom! And, the other which also starts with ‘Oh! It feels great to be in love’ feel, and ends with an ‘Oh! I was such a fool to have loved thee’ feel, when you hit the bottom; you hit the bottom right on your face, and you just keep wondering why it all happened! For our reference, let us call them as Fall-1 and Fall-2. One thing that separates these two doors to hell, that look alike and it is only you who has to decide which one to open and get burnt in the hell to ashes, is the way you feel for your beloved. If you read my last line carefully, you will see that there is no third door, which will take you the heavens, by not falling in love! Ha Ha, yes; there is NO other go! Everybody falls in love. If you still have not, you will soon see the doors to the hell I am talking about…
Alright! So then, I was talking about the thin line that separates these two doors to "falling" in love. The thin line is defined by the way you feel and treat your beloved. Yes, trust me… that, is the only difference! If you feel your beloved is just a part of your life, or even an important part of your life and you value the existence of others such as your parents, friends and those who ‘Love’ you, then you are feeling the Fall-1! On the other hand, if you feel that your beloved is the only reason for your existence and you love your beloved ‘THE MOST”, and it really doesn’t matter who else exists in your life other than your beloved… then well, Oh boy! You are calling for trouble and pain, and the worst hell you may ever want to go to! That’s Fall-2 for your information…
I have lived 24 years of my total life. I have no idea how many more to come and go! I guess, I am one of the lucky few to have experienced both types of falling! Or Am I the only one to have survived both the falls! And its funny, I have come across the same two doors that I hate to open the most now, yet one more time!
It is however inevitable to fall in love at some point in your lives. You just can not avoid it and you can never ignore it! God gives you just two options: Fall-1 or Fall-2. It is up to you to decide. And right said friend, you really do “FALL” in love!
