The Multidimensional Term Called Love!

How do we define love... To be frank,all of us wud have heard of love, even long before actually experiencing it.. the pain, the happiness, the grief it brings, the seeds of care it embeds.. thanks to our hindi films! A two yr old kid knows what it is! For a two year old kid, it cud just mean a guy and a gal happily dancing together in the rain! As we grow older we look at the passionate part of it.. And when we r mature enough, we tend to understand the complexities of this delicate relationship comprising of love, care, selfnessness and passion, which put together brings the totality of life, and adds more meaning to our existence. If u like good cinema, u know.. those art kinda movies that talk about human relationships..u get to understand the different dimensions that love can take.. I was watching a movie called raincoat yesterday.. starring Aish and Ajay Devgan.. Such a slow moving movie, that u will need a lot of patience to watch.. The concept is simple but then it strikes a cord somehere.. Its about two hopeless people, who have miserably failed in their lives, in different ways, their dreams shattered.. but still do not want the other person to know that he or she is unhappy and life has treated him or her badly... u lie, because u love.. Its like u already are in a very bad shape, with no hopes of improvement left, but u still want to do ur best to make the life of the other person better, when u realise that the other person was lying and is actually in deep shit.. The director terms this as love.. good, isnt it.. There is another movie in which a conventional, married woman with a small kid falls in love with a muslim photographer during the time of a war.. Its just circumstantial, cus of the kinda protection he offeres her selflessly.. Nothin more.. But that doesnt mean that she is gonna leave everything behind and go after him.. Here the gratitude towards a person blossoms into love..Love is gratitude.. So love doesnt have a definition.. it can mean a lie and it can even mean being thankful.. And finally its not the dimension of love that comes across our way that matters, it may not be packaged the way we want.. but then its just a feeling that leaves a mark in our hearts forever, irrespective of the dimension!
