Am I in Love?

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

How to Know if You’re Really in Love

It is a very common question, “How can I tell I’m in love?”, but it is not an easy question to answer. What feels like love to one person may be nothing more than attraction to another. Some people fall in and out of love quickly and often while others are never really in love as much as they are in lust. This can get confusing when you are a teen because romantic love is a relatively new concept for you and you don’t know what to expect. You are overwhelmed with all sorts of new feelings and social pressures. They are confusing. What is love? What makes you want a romantic relationship with one person and not another? How does your heart choose a partner? Why does love end? These questions can’t be easily answered. One of the most confusing quasi-love feelings is lust. Lust is a very powerful, very intense feeling of physical attraction toward another person. Lust is mainly sexual in nature – the attraction is superficial based on instant chemistry rather than genuine caring. Usually we lust after people we do not know well, people we still feel comfortable fantasizing about. It is very common for people to confuse lust for love. But why? What is it about lust and love that make them so easy to mix

up? If lust is all about sex, how can a relationship without sex be about lust? Teens struggle with this because they see lust in the Biblical sense, but lust isn’t that sinister. Lust is about physical attraction and acting ONLY on physical attraction. Love is about much more than that. Yet many teens (and to be fair, many adults) confuse an intense attraction for some sort if divine love. For teens, since feelings of attraction are still new and since pop-culture sells sex and love as one package, it is very easy to get the two mixed up.

Lust is clearly not love. Love is based on more than just physical attraction. Sure, attraction is a factor, but love goes deeper than that. Love is based on caring, friendship, commitment and trust. When you are in love it is as if you have your best most trusted friend at your side AND you feel physically attracted to them. It is the best of both worlds! Love is a shared feeling between two people who have a vested interest in one anthers happiness. Love is not about jealousy. It is not about conflict. It is not about testing. Love is a positive feeling. If it is tainted by mistrust, jealousy, insecurity or spitefulness it is not really love but merely a pale copy. Love is the total surrender of your heart to another person with the security of knowing they will treat it better than you will. Love should feel good. It should not feel bad. Love should make you want to be a better person, it should not lead you to do something self destructive. Love is not demanding of your spirit but lifts it and makes it glow. Love is a good thing. Anything less is lust, deep friendship or attraction. So the sappiness aside, the question remains, how can you tell you are in love?

There is no easy way to find the truth behind your feelings or the feelings of another person but there are some tell-tale signs that love is blooming (or growing deeper). If you agree with 7 of the following 9 statements you are probably in love.

  1. You know, because you have been told by your significant other, that your deep feelings are returned in kind.
  2. The object of your affections makes you feel special and good about yourself.
  3. If/when you feel jealous it is always fleeting; you trust your partner not to betray you or hurt your relationship.
  4. Nothing makes you feel as serene as when you and your partner are together.
  5. When you fight with your partner you usually make up within a few hours and you always agree that nothing is more important than you both being able to express your true feelings (even if they sometimes cause conflict).
  6. Your partner never asks you to choose between him/her and your loyalties to your family and friends – if you do choose him/her over them you always have a good reason and it is always YOUR decision, and your decision alone.
  7. Neither you or your partner feel the need to test the other’s loyalties or feelings.
  8. You are more yourself when with your partner than you are with anybody else.
  9. If sex is part of your relationship it is by mutual desire and agreement without the slightest hint of commitment testing or persuasion.

Terey Jaane Ke Baad Kisi Ke Bhi Hum

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

terey jaane ke baad kisi ke bhi hum
ho na sake
kuchh aisey bichhadey ki hum ro bhi na
sake

terey pyar ke saaye mein madhosh they kabhi
jabb neend se jaagey fir hum so bhi
na sake

tujhse hi seekha tha humney jeene ka falsafa
teri hi yaadon ke moti hum piro bhi
na sake

paaney ki aadat kuchh aisi lagi tumse sanam
terey jaane ke ghamm ko hum kho bhi
na sake

~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Teri Bataain Hi sunanay aai”

teri bataain hi sunanay aai
dost bhi dil hi dokhanay aai

phool khilte hein tu hum sochtay hein
teray aanay ke zamaanay aai

aisi kuch chup si lagi hai jaise
hum tujhe haal sunanay aai

ishq tunha hai sir-e munzil-e ghum
kaun yeh boojh uthanay aai

ajnabi dost humein dekh keh hum
kuch tujhe yaad dilaanay aai

dil dharakta hai safr ke hungaam
kaash phir koi bulanay aai

ab tu rounay se bhi dil dukhta hai
shaid ab hosh thikanay aai

kya kahain phir koi busti ujri
laug kyoon jashun mananay aai

soo raho maut ke pahloo mein faraz
neend kis waqt na janay aa

अब मैने इस दिल को लगाना छोड़ दिया
उसकी याद में खुद को जलाना छोड़ दिया

बहुत तोड़ा है उसकी चाहत ने मुझे अक्सर
अब और मैने इश्क़ में टूट जाना छोड़
दिया

आंखे तरस रहीं है उसके दीद को लेकिन
उसकी गली से मैने अब आना जाना छोड़
दिया

बहुत बातें करते हैं लोग वफा-ए-मोहब्बत की
ऐसी किसी भी बात पर ध्यान लगाना छोड़
दिया

कहानी समझ कर सुनते थे मेरी दास्तान-ए-मोहब्बत
अब हर किसी को मैने हाल-ए-दिल सुनाना छोड़
दिया

मत सोच के तुझे याद कर के आज
भी लिखता है योगेश
एक ज़माना हुआ, तुझ पर मैने गज़ल बनाना
छोड़ दिया

–योगेश गाँधी
