Love is categorically defined as deep affection for something or someone, but this definition defies St. Valentines' laws if he ever did have any, the depth of love oft interred in an all-encompassing multitude of solace, a word used so often, you’re sometimes put to wonder as to whether love truly exists in today's world.

What is love? To me love is not the romance, for me love is what mark anthony happens to have had for caesar, to me love is what antonio happens to have had for bassanio, to me love is a stupidly dangerous path of no regret. The word love happens to have been borrowed from the Germans, so ironic ! But god save me for saying Amsterdam happens to be where men magically find love;)

But why talk about love? Isn't love just the perfect bait? It so happens that even as I draft this piece I sport a naughty smirk! The greater the PR pull the more money my producers pay me! ( duhhh!).

On here let's try to define what love is and if maybe if we can crack this we can make this a legitimate series.( this happens to be boring introspection, so if you can read at 1.5X then may we would get done faster *insert laughing emoji i can't happen to find one on my keyboard). To me love’s in simple things, love’s in say holding hands and walking down a moonlit road contemplating life (cliche), love’s in understanding each other without ever having to talk (cheesy), love’s in pushing for the best of each other, love’s a net, love’s like a borderless enemy line, love’s trust and freedom and love definitely is not like in Balakrishna movie (if you don't know Balakrishna, google him now !)

Love is a crazy amalgamation of the stupidest decisions and the never-ending tantrums, the comforting hugs and that extra reason to sleep easy at night. Love is not baggage, love is what can carry all that extra cargo, it's not about how perfect we are but how we make up for each other’s imperfections, love isn't like pickled cherries but like fresh ones, sweet, a little too ripe and too sour but a perfect pair to little baby girl in her barbie phase.

Love is hence defined in my dictionaries as a LOVE, God all this to leave on a sad note, crisis com MUNer, the research was always weak, the resolution a joke, conclusion I meant to say.

This whimsical exploration of love deserves to be wrapped up like a present on Valentine's Day: Love is a paradoxical puzzle wrapped in a conundrum, sprinkled with a hint of mischief and topped with a cherry of uncertainty. So, until next time, dear readers, keep searching for love in the most unexpected places, and remember, even if you can't find the perfect emoji, love always finds a way to express itself, whether in the heart or in a Balakrishna movie. Stay love-struck and laugh-filled and let's never forget, never ever stop smiling.
