With whom shall I fall in Love????
Help me out, I am totally perplexed !!!
I was inspired to write this article after going through one of the articles posted on this site by Mr. Amit Singh which charged my mind with this intriguing question. With whom shall I fall in Love?
Love as per my personal point of view is a thing that can happen to you at any point of time, in any situation and with anybody. This `anybody' may not neccessarily be a person of opposite sex but he/she may be of the same sex. The point is what actually do you mean by love. Does buying and giving cards and gifts (according to the article of Amit) only signify that there is love. No it does not, atleast not according to me. Then does love neccssarily mean that there should be sexual relationship between you and your partner. As far as I have heard, a pure and ideal love should not involve this also. Then why do you need somebody of opposite sex?
I think that there is some kind of social pressure on you and also you are tuned by the society to fall in love with a person of opposite sex only, as you are living in an environment where persons of same sex don't fall in love.
So why not to break this unwritten law. Who knows that you might be more happy with a person of the same sex or further still that you are in love with such a person but not really accepting it as it does not have a precedence. Any answers ??
What stayed with you?
A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.

I don't understand what do you want to say.it's not that buying and giving cards means love but these are the ways to express your emotions when you fall in 'love'.Even having sex is your way to express your love.It's for sure that you don't have to love someone of the opposite sex ,or for that it may not be a human being but isn't it obvious that atleast you have sex with someone of the opposite sex.
Dear Anonymous, By declaring your self as "anonymous", you have added such a numinous touch to your aritcle that I find myself on a much lower platform to say any thing.Any way I think you missunderstood my article a little.I never intended to say that only buying cards and gifts signify love,but it can be a way to express your emotions.I just ment that way of showing your care for friends from different sex is different Any way I do agree that you can fall in love with anybody of same sex,why not? If you are taking the word in literal sense you can fall in love with any thing,animate or inamate,materialistic or divine..... Secondly it has been more than a year since I am out of my teens, and so are the persons 'living or dead 'with whom resemblance in my aricle was incidental.But still I think all of us are not mature enough to discuss this topic in philosophical sense.But I don't find sex 'impure' as you say that pure love should not involve this.Sex may not just mean union but may be a powerful means of communication. By the way your article was well written and did a good job of sparking off some deep thinkin. Amit Singh

Never try this... Why are you people so much interested in falling. Think of something in which you can rise. Once you have fallen means you have gone. So better think of something which can never let you fall.
Honestly, Vijay, your comment is better than the article!
Dear friend, Trying to understand you is seems to be a little complicated. You are denying love is not like this,not like that. Can you first like to explain me what actually love is in your point of view? Commenting on paper and doing things actually in life are two different things, try to understand this. Please don't take me in wrongway there is nothing personal, but my dear friend you are proposing a solution for a problem which even you can't follow. Tell me,if you are in love with a person of same sex and then he wish to have sex with u, would you like to have it. I think you won't like to be called gay or lesbian. Dear friend, the structure of society is based on very well thought planning. For the sake of your will only and to prove other wrong you can't change the system. respond to this, if you want to at brave_heart_no1@yahoo.com, to have further discussion
Is being gay/lesbian only about having sex? Is it also about the thought of having sex - if only the "rules of the thought-out planning" make you afraid of venturing that far? What about if the element of sex is missing ( or being unconsciuosly suppressed) from such a relationship? Would you still call that a gay/lesbian relationship? There are probably no easy solutions - people are caught up in their own thinking ( and years of indoctrination) to think about these things. And there is this feeling of deep shame, which will not let a level-headed discussion to be had on this topic. So finally does it boil down to your relationships with your friend and your relationship with the whole wide world? What shall you choose? i think u dont know what is falling in love by sakshi on Thursday July 27, @04:37AM i am not sure what u want to tell the society but i find ur article supporting homosexuality and lesbian . just answer me do u think that love implies sex. its all in the mind. u r just beating the bush and i hate u Sakshi
civilization has much to answer for. nature intended man to be an animal and endowed him with an instinct for procreation. this generates the feelings for attraction which i believe is alays in response to a sexual stimulus. but man got civilized and with an intellectual development came recognition of individual personalities. this is the source of love.but man cant differentiate between the two hence all the probs.
You need somebody of the opposie sex because that is your innate urge absolutely beyond any control irrespective of whether it ends in sex or not. Also because it is complementary to your nature and psychology.Unless you are homosexual the same passion cannot spontaneously flood you no matter how much you love any person of your sex. Ultimately it is only a question of one's inherent desires and there is nothing wrong or right about it. Social norms have built on the basic truth of opposites' attraction and not vice versa.
Man ... it seems that you knew the obvious that "love" for sure is one of the things that are surely bound to get a decent readership and so you went about writing this totally "nothing" kind of piece. It says nothing asks nothing doesn't initiate a thought process .... what is it yaar ? I'm sorry I'm really disgusted by it ... develop an insight man !
