What Is Love?

Below are my thoughts in context of love, which can be and will be different from yours .So, comment if you disagree/agree. Either one of us will have at least a nearer feeling of having understood “what is love?”, if not actually.
Below lyrics from movie Taal beautifully describes love as finding god in your soul-mate. The lyricist says that
"Is Love Your Soul-Mate?" or
"Is love actually “GOD” itself?

Ye ishq hai kya ye kisko pata
Ye dard hai ya dardon ki dava
Ye koi sanam ya aap khuda
Ye koi sanam ya aap khuda


Also, song of movie Rabne bana di Jodi goes “tujhme rab dikhta hai”(I see god in you).So , possibly finding that god,if it exists, in your soul-mate could be called love.what you say?
Love, being most talked about subject in any literature or any culture of this entire world, has, in general sense, and lost its value as its pristine beauty has been pulverized by factors which teaches humans how to love. In the race of Logic and Love, the Logic generally wins and which usually creates trouble. Logic keeps many restrictions on the direction shown by heart.

Falling in love with someone of opposite gender is always a easy task, as its nature’s law. But it becomes more intricate while selecting the soul-mate because of interruption of Logic when Love wants to take over. Many times you would have found someone with whom you feel as if you are with yourself or with your second-soul. At that time, you do not keep track of time, money or other higher priority elements for which you would have cared for in otherwise case.But, if you were asked to choose him/her as a life partner you would start thinking of hundreds or thousands of questions and ruminate over issues like your future, beauty, education, height, size shape and color , richness and lots of such other stuffs. And then, that person would fail to satisfy one or more criteria listed above . This is the point, where you were told to take decision, suddenly the Logic part took over.Here I would like to quote a dialoge from movie jab we met, kareena says :“ life ko itna seriously le kar tumhe kya mila , tum bhi to meri tarha mushkil me pad gaye”.If the decision making was done by Love part then you would have been absolutely correct in your decision.
If we leave reproduction and carnal pleasures from consideration for some time, then one could live her/her entire life happily with a person of same gender. But, as reproduction is necessary for our family tree we have to narrow it down to one less gender!!
Post will continue as i get more thoughts . you may keep adding your perspective at the same time...byee.
