Love - The Myth or Truth ?

Am gonna talk about love. To be specific, my perception and reflection on the 'image' that has been given to it. In other words on how i see the visual representation given to it and how i really experience it.

But before i talk about the given image, if i have to answer who gave the image? i seriously do not have a precise answer, in general i can call it the society that sums up the media, books, historical stories...etc

So, what does the image tells me?

It describes the love as a divine attraction between the opposite sex. very pure, one to one and cannot be shifted or shared apart from that 'two'. If that two fail to get to each other, then their life would become insane. Anything beyond a 'love failure' for the two becomes a mere sacrifice and doesnt get counted at all. Love gives dreams, unlimited energy, intoxication...
The expectation is that even for a one sided love, for a boy usually, he becomes incapable of getting any possible future love (pure).

This is all what i have heard and read and shown. Did i happen to experience all of them above and do i agree completely?

I have to agree that there is intoxication, energy and motivation. For my school experience(one side love) gave me energy and motivation to lift myself from a average scoring invisible guy to someone who was respected for a sudden positive and fruitful academic output. It did give me the life, to be frank. it obviously also was intoxicating.
I can even agree that it was divine, for it was an attraction between opposite sex and how could it not be divine? :D oh yes, in other words, i am calling it a natural process, thats common to any being. Even with food, a human being gets excited to eat his favorite when he is hungry.

Eg: A plate full of chicken biriyani in front of a heavily hungry pure non-veg guy.

in exactly similar lines, attraction is a normal process, am not even trying to explain here with hormone concept,i dont see a need.

Attraction is as normal as hunger, very physical.

The unlimited energy that we are talking about, would be possible for any human who runs for his long awaited goal and the goal need not necessarily be love always. it just becomes a motivation factor in this case.

So, what happens when you fail your first love? ofcourse it hurts, but you know what, the hurt i realize is not by the attraction but by the developed dreams and thoughts which are the culprits. Anyone who gets to love, starts building his fort with his dreams and thoughts and when the love fails, its the fort that is shaken! there isnt anything else to be shaken if you analyse it yourself deeply.

When i failed on my school love, i did not end up numb to all future attractive females. time heals these wounds so fast. I seriously realized that it never ended, the attraction, but it also didnt bother me with multiple divine attractions at the same time. i hope thats because i get occupied myself with the 'current' attraction at any point of time ;)

So, what about being ready to stake life? to me, that again is a natural process as well. In the sense, when you develop so much of a belief on the one whom you are attracted to, how can you not be ready to give your life? One would be ready to stake his life for anyone with whom he has the utmost understanding, respect, care and affection, be it a blood relation or friendship. is there anyone who would say he wouldnt die for his family or close friends when there is a need?

Its not the failed love that haunts a human, but the memories of those developed dreams and thoughts of the failed love that haunts.

Those who succeed in their first love, are probably gifted, but they never get a chance to see the other side of the coin.

Love (Fort) is built with bricks(dreams and thoughts) and adhesive (attraction).

7aam Arivu

Minus:

>Logical flaws. For eg: There was no govt reaction to so many sudden killings by the one man army from china or abt the BioWar. All news channels only talk about the epidemic

>Overdose of hypnotism

>Overdose of tamil patriotism. In the sense, dint fit in the story that much

>Songs dint blend to the situation

>Artificial reactions of the protagonists at instances


Plus:

>Plot!

>Action Sequences. Enjoyed the neatness and freshness of their execution in a tamil film. Especially the first one by the Damo

>Dong Li - the villain

>Dint bore me anywhere


Conclusion: I enjoyed the movie. I believe the director had given much of the importance to all the above pluses and i had no problem in digesting any of the minuses. More than gud enough for a Tamil Cinema.


Am sure this movie would have been 5 times better had Vikram taken the lead directed by Shankar ;-)

On the Lokpal Movement by Anna

Wrote this to comment on my Friends post on the Anna's Lokpal Movement on Aug 21st 2011.

In IT terms i see this as an out of the box thinking from the Anna's team. usually the only solution to
all the miseries in the country has always been a dream of getting great rulers. Its always what was shown
in media and debated as well everywhere to my knowledge. a great CM or PM can only do it. I do see
Nitish and Modi in that line as probable hopes, though i donot know them in detail except the
good things they have been doing in their states.
But this movement suddenly comes from no where and
tells me 'I am the solution'. Yes i do see this as the only possible and practical solution to
all the miseries, provided it succeeds. Hope we have the determination to make it succeed. It is practically
impossible to think of right ppl taking over politics by uprooting all the scammers and culprits. in that case
there wouldnt be a need for any lokpal at all :)
Now this movement does not ask for great CM or a PM. It forces and will force anyone who sits
in the seat and thinks that there is none to question him, to rethink. It would make him understand that
he is just another fellow among
every other common citizen who will be questioned.

MR. Arvind Kejrival, listening to him in a few videos hav made me a fan of him for life.
Though had read some differences here and there on both Lokpal bills, I still havent read the
complete 'Jan Lokpal Bill', i dont feel the need at all after listening to him speaking to Chennai IIT.
In every video, he is Bang ON! Yes Bang on the targets, on the critics, on the culprits!

To everyone who are puzzled about 'why this movement? when democratically the bill is on
parliament table,including MR Nilekani, am puzzled on how you guys are blind to see who is all
actually in parliament? do u really see that you have guys with real intention of eradicating corruption
and bring bliss to the whole country? But if u stil want to believe in them just because
they have been voted, Am really sorry, we have already waited , oh no, wasted more than 40 yrs
for this bill, and ofcourse i have no trust on sitting elected members. For ppl, it was always a choice of
best of the worst in elections.

To those who claim that the bill has a lot of holes, i say, no, this bill would make sure 'No Corruption Leaks'
Yes it is leak proof of corruption. If stil u wanna debate, very much agree to debate it on parliament but
with this "Jan Lokpal'

To those who dont care whats goin on, hope your fate lets you this way for ever,
otherwise you will be the one to suffer worst for your apathy.

Am witnessing what RTI is doing already, and am able to visualize what will happen if this bill passes.
Am all with Anna and his army.

Oh wait, am not into the army yet. All i could say, my time hasnt come yet.
