Before embarking on an adventure in love, let’s look at what it really is. In a research done on college students who claim to know all the insides and outsides of love, some of the responses are outlined below:

•  “Love is what I feel for him” said a starry eyed girl. Could almost see the image of the person she was in love with in her eyes!
• “Love is life” said one boy borrowing a classic quote. This is the response you get from people of few words or those who are not creative enough!
•  “You can’t describe love. You can just feel it!” There were several responses that belonged to this category.
• “Love is God!” Still have to decide whether this response would come from an overtly religious bloke or an atheist!
• “Love is everything” This response is from those who are starting out in life and obviously no idea what it is all about.
• “Love is the most important thing one needs in life” This response is once again from the not too creative ones but who do not like to snitch quotable quotes they have heard time and again.
• “Love is..love is…love is love!” Well, we all know that!

The best response gathered was from one of those bespectacled guys who one thinks has the least idea of what love is because he is always so quiet and does not look like has one romantic bone in his body. But yes, he is the one you get the best response from in the form of a song:

·        “shokhiyon mein ghola jaayen phoolon ka shabab, usme phir milaayee jaaye thodi si sharaab, hoga jo nasha yoon taiyyar who pyaar hain!”

   Attempted translation:  Dissolve playfulness* into the youthfulness of flowers; then add a little alcohol to it; the resulting state of intoxication is what is love

* playfulness here could be substituted with mischief, gaiety, sauciness.

So what's your definition of love?
