Kash, my love...I am all for expressing love. And I feel the need. Remember our discussion about putting words to your feelings? Well I do...and I still hold my stand on that one. But my point is, if you don't express well, does it decrease the intensity of your love?

Waise loved the plant analogy and I totally agree with you on that one. :-)

OMG...did I just say I agree with you? Hope you didn't fall off your chair..LOL

Does love have a measure? You have posed a simple sounding complex question. 👏 I think the answer is both Yes and No because only one of those words do not seem to completely answer your profound question. Yes, You can measure the depth of relationship founded based on Love. You can measure the intensity of emotions, actions and expressions resulting out of Love. But, No, You can never measure the very feeling of love. Even if love is not deep enough to sustain a healthy relationship, it never deserts the heart once it touches the heart. There will still be a lingering feeling of love however fleeting it may be because what the heart has once owned and had, it can never forget. The very essence of that feeling is profound and has no measure.

Hope I have not added to the confusion.

Sri, i loved your post. simply loved it. i second your every thought and give you a standing ovation for such a beautiful expression of love and its depths.

you know what sri ... love is the strangest feeling God has instilled in human being. it is the only feeling which can compel us to give our life for someone. like maan did for geet, twice in HP.

it is the only feeling can can make a person forget every ego, every attitude and submit yourself to the person u love. like maan did to geet.

I know the feeling of love, and thats why i say, Maan's love is a complete definition of TRUE and DEVOTED LOVE. every girl would give her life for that kind of love. Geet is lucky to have it. i just hope she understands that and maintains the integrity of that love and the maan on maan's love. i would hate to see geet do anything wrong to his love. that would break me into pieces.

isi liyay, baar baar i emphasize, i want to see her expression, i want to see her passion ... i want to see her madness ... i want to believe in her love, but for that i want to feel it. and till now i have only felt maan's love. not geets!!!

You have touched again a deep note my friend, especially with your expressions about Maan's love. How can you ever measure the love of a man whose hatred is also a means of expressing his love?

As for Geet's love, she may lack the intensity and variety of expressions and actions that Maan displays. But, her very insecurity reflects her love. It is only when you love someone so deeply that you will fear losing them. Only when you fear losing something that is of so much value to you, even a hint of such loss makes you feel insecure because deep inside you want to hold on to it more strongly.

and thats exactly what i mean when i talk about maan love Sri .... his expression of hatred is also his expression of love. isnt this proof enough of maan;s love for geet. he was also insecured when geet was trying to ignore his feelings. he was also insecured when he wanted geet's confession and she avoided it. but that didnt stop him from realizing his love and expressing it gracefully. so why cant geet do that. if she doesnt know how to do it, had i been geet, i would have learn't it for maan and his love. its a small thing that his love demands. just expression ... how difficult is it.

Often, you do not appreciate what you have until you lose it and sometimes only after finding it again after such a loss. So far, Maan has always been there for her whether through words or deeds or even his silence. Geet's realization of her love is also always shown as initiated through his actions and expressions. For instance, after Kehna Hi Kya sequence, when he said that he will not tolerate any outsider to insult her in his presence, that is when she first acknowledges to herself the feelings she has for him. So, she could have taken it for granted. Now that she is moving away from Maan, maybe she will gradually start realizing and expressing the passion, pain and madness of the depth of her love for him. Or it may even be possible that she will reach such a state only after re-discovering his love for her.

A bell is no bell till you ring it.
A song is no song till you sing it.
Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay.
And love isn't love till you give it away.

Wow wow wow Sri ... i will repeat your words ...
A bell is no bell till you ring it.
A song is no song till you sing it.
Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay.
And love isn't love till you give it away.

brilliant!!!👏 simply brilliant.

So as we discussed, may be her distance or separation from maan would make her cry, would make her want him, would make her realize what a genuine man maan is and how much his love and care mattered to her.

i am seriously looking forward to that time, when geet will realize it and finally live that love.
