( nabanita has said she's not going to accept a 'thank you' under any circumstances... it's only because of her that i exist in blue in this blog... a pity that is, i can't say a 'thank you'! : ) ..but, never mind.)
1. A Few Confessions: the preface...
To cut it short, I am very sorry to state, that this is going to be a long post. This is not a story. Neither is this a poem... I give you the liberty to term it what you may. I am going to call this a "Scientific Research Paper presented on Love" ...to be published in the journal 'Straight from the Heart'.
I don't expect you to read this... I only hope. And there are some reasons why I am publishing this in this blog and not in my personal space that nabanita had so lovingly created for me... I would be dividing my post in five to six sections, which I look to publish periodically. I hope to complete within one month.
Any replies or sequels would be lovingly accepted, ..as they always are.., but only after all the five or six sections get published. But I do wonder,.. as I always do,.. that whether you would be doing something correct to reply to a post that would be utterly boring and full of tall talk!
2. Quantifying Love : the introduction...
Is it possible to quantify Love? ...And as it seems that it's tough to find an answer, let us face a less difficult question. Is it at all necessary to try to quantify Love? If Love gets quantified ever, doesn't it seem that the emotions would lose their colours, ...their essence? Wouldn't they be stripped naked ..if they get dissected under a scientific point of view?
May be: yes! But only a 'may be'! Instead, it may so happen that some of our long asked questions get answered... that we are relieved... that we don't need to lock ourselves in the unexplained, suffocating environment anymore. We may feel the light, coming out of the all-pervading dampness. ...And yes. Some of us are still suffocating... and that we are in need of some fresh air is not a lie. I try my best to provide you with an explanation. This paper comes after the long seven-year toil that I had, ..fighting continually my own psyche. And if the inferences here are derived wrong, I have no other option to suspect my sanity. Do let me know if I am sane...
Life is a mathematical function of the binary variables called Decisions. Thay take up two values. Yes and no.
And decisions in life should be taken both by the Head and the Heart.
...But sometimes we forget that Relationships are lived in the grey area between the heart and the head!
Section 1. ...from the land of Utopia : ...the heart sings a song!
"Everynight in my dreams
I see you.
I feel you."
And when I wake up to greet
Every new dawn,
I see colours...
I see you.
They say I am in love.
I don't know what I am in.
I only know
I am in You.
Twenty four hours
Flow through me,
Making your touch felt
Every moment.
I work, I eat.
I sleep, I live.
But only for the sake of it
Is it?
Life.
Its Givings and Takings.
What for?
Do I gain when it gives me something?,
Tell me,
When you are here in my arms...?
...Or do I lose something?,
When everything else is taken away from me?
It's this stupid world
Which runs on...
Questioning my sanity.
But, you know,
I laugh at them too.
Silently and imperceptively.
I feel for them...
They don't know what they miss...
Though the intensity varies from person to person, the basic principle of surrender in Love remains the same for everybody. But, yeah! A nice poem! But does these feelings get transformed to reality? Is this poem practical?
Answer me. Does your love come to you? No: 80%; Yes: 20%.
If he/she comes to you, do you remain together forever? No: 90%; Yes: 10%.
If you remain together till death, do you, at every moment, get the flavour you had dreamt of ? No: >99%; Yes: ?
What do we remain with? Maybe a handful, if at all... And why is the percentage such scary?
I had told you before that relationships are lived in the grey areas between our head and our heart...
(to be continued...)

this is going to be one of the greatest things that has ever happened to SFTH. A very truthful, insightful, honest, logical and real interpretation. I'll be looking forward to all the others to come. A great venture akaash, and ur words do resonate with life. Keep it up. I'm proud of you.
p.s. best line : "Life is a mathematical function of the binary variables called Decisions. " HOW TRUE !!
I believe that any emotion cannot be interpreted in a categorized way.
Sorry, but I think that love is quite enigmatic to be even dealt with.
Though it is a fact, that I will be reading the remaining parts.
@ The Nameless One:
i agree. i had not tried to categorise an emotion like love. i had just tried to categorise the way we look at it.
when you see you are in front of an infinite series (convergent; :..just a case study, buddy!), it looks practically impossible to add it up. but with a bit of algebra, it can be done.
impossible is nothing. and neither you have to make yourself laughed at, showing your overconfidence. ..it's just this that there's always a first time to everything. and, what more? ..this is just a trial.
and lastly, a suggestion. don't believe a qualitative statement presented to you by your earlier generations. they are evolution-wise behind. ..and may be, it's US who's going to quantify it for the first time.
i know this 5-6 post series of mine can strike of a controversy. and it may get to a raquet. i have no intention to thrust my point of view. it's only this that you should come up with something logical if you wanna go against this view.
you have another option, though. to sit back and to laugh and to ignore. that's the wisest decision. but.. sorry,.. that's not constructive. i wanted a group discussion. not a fight. ..anyway, read this comment of mine after the next section gets published.
Wonderfully scripted and written !
Seems that is all that I can say !
To be frank, I hate categorization.
I didn't even tell it to be impossible, if you notice my comment.
Neither did I tell anything even remotely near to orthodox views.
I think you got me wrong.
@ The Nameless One :
yah, i got u wrong. but do u know what? :) ..i love to interpret wrongly at times... it makes bubbles of individuality surge up from within. that was deliberate. ..was just testing your spark. i know you buddy! :)
Tests.
Oh, just how much I hate them.
Its better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all.
