Rain mesmerizes. Rain cleanses. The smell of wet earth..the sweetness..the intoxication..the headiness..
As I sit waiting for the season's first showers (god knows we need them!), which, looking at the outside, might happen anytime (but then, it's been quite a while the outside's looking like this :|), apart from exasperation at the stickiness that pre-rain heat inspires, something that strikes me out of the blue, is...love (!?), You know, rain, love, romance...bollywood?
Bollywood goes to no limits to relate rain to 'love in the air'; may it be a drizzle, or a heavy thunderstorm complete with fluttering sarees and blown-off rooftops, and frightened girls clinging to ever-present guys in cozy nooks and corners that spring out of nowhere, just in time.
With all due respects to the romance, if we get a bit practical (forgive me, oh ye head-over-heels in love people!), I'd say, rain incites feelings because it creates a diversion. You feel more in league with your guy because he's alike you, in that instant. No pretences. All of them washed away along with your make up. It soaks you to the skin and gets underneath you, it rids you of your inhibitions, your professionalism, your brain, your artificiality. And you can't love till you are artificial. But suddenly, you realize, you don't have to act like you're not stupid! You can jump and prance around like you're a schoolgirl, only to look around and find that your partner's doing the same thing! It dilutes your mask, for whatever reason; like nature, always scoring over deceit! And it's not just about lovers, it's even with friends and family! (it's another thing that your family isn't so liberal about karaokeing in the rain...) It's affection, mistaken for love (just like you botch up vice-versa a lot of times!)..it's the magic that water can do, just like downing an ice-cold glassful of that chemical they call H2O makes you feel relieved, refreshed, and content!
PS: It's raining!!!
I don't know if love's in the air, but that alluring smell definitely is! They should bottle it and sell it as perfume! :)
Heavens! Ta da!

Love. The easiest thing to be seen around in today's world. You love your mum n dad, you love your girlfriend, you love your bro, you love your girlfriend, your pet dog, your girlfriend, neighbour's daughter, girlfriend, your best friend's girlfriend, your own..well, y'know. You have so much of love inside you that you just can’t bear to give it to only one person (read your very own you-know-who). How could you be so selfish?!
Without sounding extremely biased, most of the relationships at the ripe college-going age must be based on the following reasons:
1. Because my best friend has a partner and I don’t have one.
2. Because my worst enemy dares to have one when I don’t have one.
3. Because my (current) partner became my ex-partner, after throwing a huge tantrum on prom night, when he/she noticed me dancing with his/her ex-partner/ex-partner’s best friend.
4. Because my ex-partner found one (instead of spending his/her life mourning that he/she lost me) when I didn’t try to (Well, I was waiting for him/her to initiate the happy cycle, actually).
5. Because I’m the sexiest guy/gul (gay/gal) in town.
6. Because I’m dirty rich and I’d like to take up charity work for CCD by serving it for approximately 7 hours everyday (without holiday).
7. Because I’m bored.
8. Because, oh well damn.
Erm, did I miss out on the ‘love’ part above somewhere? :|
Queer.
PS: The wind blo(g)s after a seriously long break(-up); but it’s gonna rush up a storm.

The Soup before the meal..
Why the blog?
The idea of this blog has a little story to it, so rather than starting with the blog itself I am going to bring in some starters, it’s always good to have some soup before the meal arrives. So, as usual me and the other one were having a little conversation about some random non-sense, and the topic of love came up, I was insisting that we stop applying logic and wisdom to love, because probably it’s one place it does not exist!! But I cared to contradict myself, giving rise to THIS (yes! What did you expect? A paper? :P) Well, we hope to cut a path through most of the seemingly random non-sense about love, relationships, emotions, emotionlessnesses, guys, girls, tra la la…
So, this is going to be a duo-co-blog, it will be fun, commenting on love (and most of the times, its so-calledness) is not really easy, the idea itself is very vague, and the thousands of meanings it can have across multiple cultures make it almost impossible to pen down, but there lies the challenge. Let’s all hope the meal arrives as fast as the soup did.
Anyway folks, so long for this post, see you people soon :)
P.S. : Debut me post :D
