It is lucky. You are getting a chance to write it different. There were many OS on this emotion. The latest being - AngelTeen's long , detailed and "in slow motion take". Think Hatke. Washing Machine Romance of Bones and Booth come to mind. 😳

I read that one last night. And i don't think I can ever write something that long and detailed. Beautiful it was.

But I also run the risk of typecasting myself. I have written two OS's already which were slightly mature.

Maybe I'll go with the actual LOVE wala meaning only. Or maybe take Shringara literally.

Shringara

Shringara means love and beauty. This is the emotion used to represent that which appeals to the human mind, that which one finds beautiful, that which evokes love. This is indeed the king of all rasas and the one that finds the most frequent portrayal in art. It can be used for the love between friends, the love between a mother and her child, the love for god or the love between a teacher and his disciples. But the Shringara or love between a man and a woman is easily the most popular form of this rasa. Rich imagery is associated with this love and it gets portrayed at many different intensities esp in Classical Indian dance. The sweet anticipation of a woman as she waits for her lover is as much Shringara as the passion she feels for her first love, a passion that so heightens her sensitivity that even the moonbeams scorch her skin. In Indian music too this rasa finds wide portrayal through beautiful melodies.

Shringara means "Love" and often also "beauty". Narrowly speaking, Shringara means to enjoy the company of the opposite sex, in a very lovely and romantic manner. In a broader sense, Shringara is the mood in which we concentrate on creating a lovely atmosphere, on family and friends, on good manners and romance, on art, culture, and decoration, on dressing attractively and behaving nicely, on beauty and enjoyment. In Shringara the word "Rasa" most literally means "good taste."

Creation only happened for the enjoyment of Shringara, when Shiva and Shakti, the male and female energies, who were one, decided to play a game of hide and seek. Love is the most extreme happiness that two people can create together, living as a god and goddess in a universe of their own. In this way the relationship becomes a rehearsal of surrender to the universe and the Divine.

While everyone has the ability to live in beauty and Love without much effort, most people seem to suffer from a lack of both. Partially this is due to the increased popularity of the Rasas that are "enemies" of Shringara, particularly Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust. It is also due to a real lack of understanding and appreciation of Shringara in modern culture.

The mood of Shringara has two aspects: The feeling of Love in union (Sambhoga Shringara) and in separation (Vipralambha Shringara). The problem with enjoying Shringara, as with every enjoyment, is that it has a tendency to become addictive. Love always includes some level of attachment.

Thanks Joe. And I had read this definition.

But what I meant while saying taking it literally was.. The hindi meaning of the word Shringar. It means "to enrich", "to adorn", "to decorate"... essentially, "make up"...

😆

Also, I found this.
