Lovely post Shanzy!

Very true and beautifully said!

All Madhu needs to do now is open her eyes wide and give up teaching RK any lesson because he is not going to learn anything, ever. I so wish that she sees the goodness that is standing in front of her, right beside her in her need, in the form of Sultan and just turn her back totally on RK.

RK has never loved her ever because if he had then he would have respected her first and foremost. He isn't showing even an iota of any remorse whatsoever and such people don't change. Whereas Sultan, with his criminal background, is inherently a good human being and has always kept his principles intact. He is a gangster but has a set of rules which he abides by and forces people working with him to follow them else he would have allowed Bhujang to do what he wanted. Wish Madhu sees him in a different light and soon! The day she turns her back on RK will be the happiest day of her life because then she will be truly free to experience the REAL LOVE with a REAL GOLDEN-HEARTED MAN - SULTAN!!!

Lovely post.. Love truly is that simple and that difficult. What's being glorified as 'love' between Rk and Madhu, especially what RK feels for her, is not love, but a cold pathological sickness called obsession, born out of an all consuming need to soothe his own ego, validate his superiority .

Love is essentially indescribable in its simplicity.. and that is why what I cant and wont describe what Sultan feels for Madhu.. it just needs to be respected, and admired.

What is shown here esp from RK's side is definitely not true love. True love respects the other person and where true love exists.. hate, vengeance, etc does not reside there.

Superbly said. Thanks.

I truly believe that R.K. being "Narcissistic" is incapable of understanding words like "LOVE" or "TRUST" .

The sad part now is when will MB realize that she has made a mistake and it is time to now come to a sane and sensible decision for her self-respect and freedom from the crap she is getting from a man who never loved her and never will.

There should be a limit to her patience because the audience is surely losing theirs.

Wow shanzy brilliant post!!!!

The meaning of true love changes with each different relationship and depends more on its concept of depth, versatility, and complexity. It can take many forms. At the lowest level it is chemistry and biology which explain it as a powerful neurological condition like hunger or thirst, only more permanent. Biology says that it is nothing but the play of hormones. When a man and women are attracted towards each other, they think they are falling but what if some hormones are playing inside them and this is not love but mere attraction. This is pure chemistry; at the lowest point it is not more than that. But how can we explain man love for music or painting. This is surely not hormonal. This is not Chemistry. Van Gogh, a painter, sacrificed his life for Love of painting. This is something higher than chemistry, higher than hormonal. But there is still a higher level; the love of Buddha, the love of Jesus, the love of Krishna. Now it has taken completely different form. Buddha loves everyone, because he has too much to share it. He is burdened by the love released in him; it has to be shared with the trees, with the birds, with people, with animals, with whosoever comes by.

When we say we love somebody, what exactly we mean? If we mean we hold that person. This gives birth to jealousy, because if I lose that person then what happens? I feel empty, lost; therefore I restrict that person. From holding, there is jealousy, insecurity, fear of losing and innumerable conflicts that arises from holding. And this holding is not true love is it? Also, it is neither emotional nor sentimental. Because these are only sensations which are process of thought and surely thought is not true love. Person who is sentimental or emotional cannot know it. This is because the emotions can be stirred negatively where a person is vulnerable to hatred or fight. Therefore, we can say that when there is room for these things, there is no Love. They are all generated from the mind. Mind can only corrupt love but, cannot give birth to it. When these things disappear, and when the things of the mind don't fill your heart, then there is love. It is only when you do not restrict, when you do not hold, you are not jealous, not greedy, when you have mercy and compassion, when you have consideration for your wife, your children, your neighbour, and your unfortunate servants.
