After my last post, I was siezed by curiousity on what great minds have thought about love. So I accessed what seemed like the best resource - google :-)
And I found a very interesting anecdote - the origin of the word 'love' is from the Germanic form of the Sanskrit word 'labh' which means desire!!
Looks like in addition to zero, astronomy and numbers, love was also invented in India :-)

trust indians to take credit for inventing love ...!!!!
Not sure if it was invented here.. but definitely taken to new heights (Khajuraho included) :).. but sure looks like we are taking it down now. somehow it feels like there is not much love in this great country of ours.. just get onto the roads of delhi and you immediately start asking "Where is the Love?" And anyway our society doesn't encourage love between the sexes (don't even think about love within the same sex) until you are married (its conventional wisdom that there is only survival and dependence after marriage.. with occasional sparks of love)...
But why am I writing all this? Someone disturbed me while I was writing this and now I totally forgot what I was about to write... maybe I'll edit this again later..
"Victory Is Mine"
