The words... evoke a strange feeling of nostalgia... of a memory , obscured among the moments along the memory lane ... yet so vivid .. it emerges afore , oneself... as one hears the words.. "First Love..."...
A sense of the first ever realization of what is believed to be togetherness, companionship, of a want to be wanted, to be needed, to be cared for... to care for, to give oneself... of a realization of ones own feeling, emotions, to feel, to be , to revel in the ecstatic sense of what it feels to be in love... a want to forever revel in this euphoric sense of freedom of the soul....
First Love is never forgotten, for one cannot , they say....
Yet strange it is that it aint the face that we remember , but the essence , that we associate to that which is tangible, for we touch to feel....that which is to be felt with ones heart and not the hand....
It is the realization, the first ever of the feeling of love , that touches , the soul experiences, the heart feels, revels , that is so a part of our being that remains forever a part of us....
Blessed are those , who can feel this pure essence , for one who has felt this , has felt the touch of the divine... for no emotion , no other than this, can set one free, touch the depths of our very being!
Shiv Kapoor:
A man who experienced this emotion, this want , at a tender age, associated it with a face that evoked the very first realization of this essence ....
Gauri Kapoor:
She experienced this pure essence , which she associated with Shashaaank, yet as she stood bound to Shiv , realized the essence she felt and experienced was true , but her companion was Shiv....
Shashaank may remain a mere association of her first realization, but Shiv Kapoor is the reality of this essence...
For Shiv Kapoor, Ipshita remains the first association of the essence of Love, for he is yet to realize , Gauri is the reality of the essence he so deeply feels.....
