If love happens eventually, then what is the heady feeling when you can't think of anything but about the other person?? It may be purely asexual longing. Is that lust ?? It surely cant just be liking.<br />2. By this logic of love, childhood lovers should be really in love & not like or lust, yet most such alliances fail. <br />Anubhutihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967078639724548476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-81818052147179997092013-08-11T02:28:51.732+05:302013-08-11T02:28:51.732+05:30Mr Ghosh, look at it this way, even if all this is...Mr Ghosh, look at it this way, even if all this is true, can ppl go to each other & say " listen darlin ! I lust you, lets make lust ! " At least love sounds romantic or we'd become savage. I'd rather someone says "let's make love rather" than "let's have sex" - ishhhh not nice !!Anubhutihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967078639724548476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-43994441957012651152012-09-13T22:52:35.303+05:302012-09-13T22:52:35.303+05:30hmm...interesting post though a little too cynical...hmm...interesting post though a little too cynical for me.You see, with human feelings nothing is really cast in stone.

'likeness' is very important here- more than love n lust 2geder.Amrita Sabathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09215997139551830844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-44842262555540085812010-02-12T15:39:50.502+05:302010-02-12T15:39:50.502+05:30i am being led believe that this post was written ...i am being led believe that this post was written in a drunk state...guess you do not have enjoyable compaany, hence you take the help of a drunk state to gather your thoughts..however idiotic,prententious,and false they might be...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-85644537649753055462010-02-12T15:36:07.119+05:302010-02-12T15:36:07.119+05:30i think that you say all this to express your crea...i think that you say all this to express your creative side..actually you do not believe in anything which you say or do...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-67108855082533877752010-01-25T20:31:25.883+05:302010-01-25T20:31:25.883+05:30Beautiful post, Biswanath.

So why have we taken on the morality of another culture and why do we layer what we feel with what we ought to feel?<br />As a society I think we don't have the courage of our own convictions or culture - we are apologetic for the way we are and what we do.<br />It's like the way a 'religious' man displays the trappings of his 'holiness' in some way - Bish you are so right - people(not men alone, let's be fair), like to display the trappings of what they feel they ought to for the moment.Sandhyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07724374630193683488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-48341057406019942602010-01-21T23:28:07.293+05:302010-01-21T23:28:07.293+05:30absolutely agree with you.

Sheer happiness for the fact that the person whom you love and care for,is happy.<br />Maybe love marriages break because each of them is jostling with their happiness and fulfillment without giving the other person their space..i think people in love should deal with their partners like they would deal with their parents and siblings... you can quarrel at your wits end, but you know that they are the ones you will go back to...no egos there...once you get that right there is no reason why ur relationship or marriage should end... heard that when relationships or marriages end, the emotional damage is hugejanani sampathhttp://unrelentingdreamer.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-85809883870938444702010-01-21T11:42:13.251+05:302010-01-21T11:42:13.251+05:30hmmm... interesting..

I think people give too much importance to any emotion they feel at a particular instant... 5 minutes later it may feel different... even 'like' keeps fluctating.. we are not made to like/love/hate/ disliek anyone with the same intensity forever in the first place... so I guess what really works atleast for me is just chilling out. The acceptance of what i feel today may or maynot be the same intensity tomorrow solves a lot of things I guess :)Preetinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-29761998877473685032010-01-21T08:11:17.480+05:302010-01-21T08:11:17.480+05:30I am really tempted to give you a lecture on what ...I am really tempted to give you a lecture on what is love, like and lust.<br />BUt no use.
