Love Quote: Woman's Love vs. Man's Love

According to the famous French-speaking Swiss author Germaine de Stael, "Love is the history of a woman's life; it is an episode in man's."

Very true! Love means very different for a man and a woman. When a woman truly falls in love, it means a lot to her...she wants it to last for a lifetime and nurtures it in every way she can. A woman's love has depth, dedication, passion, truth and longing...she embraces her love with a completeness that is quite unlikely for a man. Even when a woman is heartbroken, she cannot forget her love and cherishes it forever!

Contrarily, men are quite different. A man can rarely reciprocate his love and devote himself completely like a woman...for him, it is more of a passion, a momentary lust or longing, or merely a physical attraction. Very few men are capable of true love. For them it is more of a temporary "affair", a "fling", or pure lust! Hence it is easy for them to get over relationships and forget all previous connections. For a woman, love means a lifetime...a history! For most men, love is just another episode!

Monsoon:The Season of Love

Monsoon is the season of LOVE and ROMANCE. There is an unmistakable whiff of romanticism in the air! The misty air, the sweet aroma of rain soaked soil, the rumbling of thunder, the twittering of birds in the pale horizon, the pearly raindrops on leaves, builds the perfect ambience for a cosy love story.

Just imagine--what it is like thinking about your beloved on a rain washed evening? Rain has magical qualities to trigger our romantic life. Personally, I'd like walking in the rain with the one I love, and have steaming cups of freshly ground coffee. Watching a good movie is also quite romantic...however, don't forget your popcorn:)
In Kolkata, mostly couples love to catch up a movie at a multiplex, take a stroll along the Maidan greens, in and around Victoria Memorial, or simply do some mall hopping, to make the most of monsoon romance. There are, no doubt, dearth of romantic hangouts in Kolkata. I feel, coffee shops are the best places to unwind and have a romantic rendezvous.

The entire feeling of love and romance in the rains can be summed up in this beautiful poem by "Eternal Night"...

Rain, rain will you stay?
I kind of like the clouds of gray.
If you must leave, I understand.
It is the good mothers command.
I want to take you to the park
And hold you under veil of dark.
I want to show my love is real.
I need to tell you how I feel.
I’ll hold you close, and keep you warm;
I’ll shield you from the violent storm.
And when the sun begins to shine
I’ll still be yours, and you’ll be mine.
Rain, rain will you remain;
And wash way all of our pain?
We press our lips, in loves exchange
I hope that you will never change.
I never want to let you go;
I’ll whisper how I love you so.
And as the rain picks up its speed
I’ll vow to be the one you need
Rain, rain will you stay?
I kind of like the clouds of gray.
There’s nothing I would rather do
Than spend my time here holding you…

How Do You Feel when You Are In Love?

The million dollar question is---How does one feel when he/she is in love?


Love brings with it ecstasy, exuberance, and a freshness, that was hitherto unknown to us! The feeling of being in love is something indescribable...which cannot, perhaps, be penned down in words. We feel as if we are in seventh heaven! Everything seems rosy, irrespective of the condition you are living in! The world seems a better place to live in. Life seems a forever symphony of lilting tunes.

I feel, love is that wonderful feeling which brings a whiff of fresh air in our otherwise monotonous life and surrounding. I love the word "love" itself, the idea of being in love, and the paraphernalia that it brings along. There's a subtle sweetness about being in love with someone special; a longing for someone who you identify with, and the harmony that you share with this person. There's magic in the air! We have a prolonged sunny mood, much unlike our occasional mood swings:) Love gets us going and makes us do all the wackiest of things:) Do you all agree?

You know when you have found your prince because you not only have a smile on your face but in your heart as well. ~Author Unknown
