Dard Ki Talaash...

There is something about "being in love" that is far too appealing for the human heart...it just can't do without it. I have approximately 10 very good friends out of which 8 are either in love or trying to begin being in love or even trying to continue being in love:D. Now the other day this 9th friend of mine says to me in an off-the-cuff remark that it's probably time for both of us to dive in the depths of loveville and give romance a chance and the sober me replied that "love just happens, u can't go about finding it" although the sarcastic me was so itching to retort about the various rather appealing by-products of dear love (broken hearts, long fights, living nytmares n likes). And then he goes ahead and gives me a summarized lecture inspired by Irrfan Khan in Life In A Metro *bring the car out n take ur chance* .


Bear in mind that this guy is a veteran of one pretty busted up relationship and is actually quite intelligent enough to even understand the shortcomings or rather should I say the hardships accompanying "blissful love", so then what prompts him to even think of getting into a relationship again and risking reliving the same ohh-so-great experiences all over again...Is it the loneliness within him...probably yes but then is not a lonely existence so much more a better bet than living that feeling of "being alone" when someone just walks away like a wisp of smoke, like a whiff of air. Maybe it's because he misses the existence of someone with whom he could share all his feelings and emotions and fears yet isn't not having an ear to listen better than having to listen to sarcasm laden statements regarding all those very emotions and fears.

I don't know the definite answers to these questions yet all logic and sense point out only one answer and that answer certainly is not "being in love". But that I think is the addiction of love, everyone wants to be in love *I know not why* .....You may not believe it but I have on more than an occassion been asked by some dimwitted souls as to "why am I single?" and the best part is that they even expect an answer:D
The term "blissful solitude" obviously holds no meaning for them but that's perfectly all right, after all not every one can have the same vocabulary qoutient:D
But the question remains "why is everyone looking for love?" Pray answer it for me if any of you can!!!

"Jab kabhi ye dil laga, Dard hi ise mila
Dil ki har lagi ka dekho dard hi hai ik sila
Kyun naye naye se dard ki talaash mein, firaaq mein udaas hai dil"
{Whenever the heart falls in love it encounters pain, in fact pain is always the final destination for a loving heart...yet why is the heart sad in the pursuit of a new pain}
