SHADES OF LOVE

"Love in the heart was not meant there to stay. Love is not love till you give it away". For love to be ever lasting and eternal every one should be aware of the different stages of love and know its significance. Following are the different phases through which you will travel in your love life and only those who pass it will have an endless love.

ATTRACTION
Attraction can be defined as something, which is more than friendship and is a step towards getting ready for a relationship. Now attraction is of two types:
a. Physical Attraction - happens when your body reacts to another person. Heart rate increases; temperature rises, palms get sweaty; stomach flutters; throat tightens; etc. This is what will tell you that you are ready for the first contact and also whether you are comfortable in the company of the other person.
b. Emotional Attraction - develops next if the circumstances are right. After being drawn to a person physically, you then begin to come closer. If you find you have things in common -- hobbies, ideologies, career, education, or some other common ground -- then an emotional attraction starts to form. Sometimes an emotional attraction can occur even when a physical attraction does not. And in this case, the bond will be stronger between the two who connect, since no preconceived notions based on physical appearance has occurred.

INTIMACY
Intimacy is something, which a person experiences when you learn to trust and believe your lover. It is a close association with another person of the deepest nature. You share you thoughts, feelings, and dreams. You feel free to discuss everything with this person and you are absolutely comfortable in his company. Thus intimacy develops gradually. If you can't establish intimacy with your partner, your relationship may work for a while, but is unlikely to endure throughout the years. Intimacy is actually the path to a true, healthy and beautiful relationship.

ROMANCE
Romance is the essence of a relationship. Without romance your love life will not exist. Romance is the true identity of your love. It brings out your true self and helps you be a better lover, husband and partner. Romance is a celebration of the life you live as part of a couple. It springs naturally and originates from within your heart. It makes you do things that you possibly couldn't have imagined to do otherwise. It shows you who you are and reminds you of the role you play in a relationship. Romance is not responsibility but it is caring about your responsibilities towards your lover and partner. Romance is the appreciation of two people who are celebrating the lucky coincidence that they found each other.

PASSION
The third stage is passion, which basically means a desire for another person, which has grown to an intensity that can't be ignored. This is often where an emotional relationship turns into a physical relationship. The passion stage is very important. For from here you will understand the true meaning and nature of your relationship. If there is no passion then its best to let go but if there is passion in your relationship then it is time to go on to the next stage.

COMMITMENT
The last stage is commitment. This is when you know that you want to spend your whole life with this person you love and you can do anything for him. It is when your whole world just revolves round your lover and you take a pledge to remain true to your mate throughout good and bad times, be by his/her side whenever he/she needs you.

IF THERE'S...

If there's one face I want to see each day, my whole life through,
One smile that makes a difference to everything I do.
If there's one touch I long to feel,
One voice I long to hear, whenever I'm happy
or jus' needing someone near,
If there's one joy, one love from which I never want to part.
It's you - that someone special in my world, in my life and in my heart.

WHY CAN'T YOU SEE?

I never get to tell you what I really need to say

How I long to hold you each and every day

You mean more to me than words can ever express

Without you my life would be a total mess

As I look into your eyes, and at your perfect face

I know there will never be anyone to take your place

No matter what problems I may go through

That place in my heart will always be for you

If I am having a hard time letting you in

It's because I have played the game, and never win

Your love means so much to me

I just don't know how to make you see

I don't care what people say

We can stick together anyway

When they come to me, all I see is your face

When they start to speak your voice takes their place

It's a voice that promises to always be there

No matter what they say, I know you still care

Always and Forever is what this means to me

I LOVE YOU, now can you see?

WHAT HE DOESN'T KNOW...

What he doesn't know...
Is that I love him in my heart
I knew that he was special
I could tell right from the start
What he doesn't know...
Is that when I close my eyes
All I can see is his image
As he slowly passes by
What he doesn’t know...
Is he is in my days in my nights
In the wildest dreams of mine.
What he doesn’t know...
Is he is always by my side
In every walk of my life.
What he doesn’t know...
Is the very thought of him
Makes me smile though he is away by miles.

Indian Idol

Todays episode of Indian Idol was one of the best episodes ,b' coz its so good to hear your favourite songs all in a row and it feels more good to hear your favourite contestant singing your favourite song...I'm referring to Karunya here and the song was "Sazoun ko sasaoun mein ...." from HumTum...."Tere Naam..". Then there was this "Hume aur jeene ki chahath na hoti" , " Dil kya kare jab..." and "Kuch na kaho" my all time favourites...
