Love is Pain | Pain is Love

This was probably my best Christmas that I have ever had in my life. Cause for all my previous ones I just used to be at home and there was nothing special about Christmas, except for the santa cap sellers on the traffic signal. Rest all used to be the same. But this Christmas was different. It was very special. It gave me a realisation that pain and love are the two sides of the same coin.


When I was coming back from pune on Christmas this year, I was all excited about coming to Mumbai at the prospect of meeting mom, dad, didi, jiju, friends and special friend. That feeling of excitement was a manifestation of the love that I have for all of them. The trip was gud I met so many of my close friends, the bulldog had come down from US, usse milke bhi bahut accha laga tha. We had met in college.


Yeah I had been to college for the first time in around 7 months, had been there last for my ICE exam. The feeling was great. The atmosphere was just amazing. Nothing had changed in MY DJ. Except that now we were ‘alumni’ and not the ‘student’. I could actually see flashbacks being played in front of me ( bollywood ishtyle). It was amazing. All the memories that we cherish became fresh as yesterday. Dabba bhi mila tha college me. Its kinda cliché but it is warranted……. DJ rocks !!!!..... sorry guys cudnt resist the temptations.


According to me, Einstein was the greatest of all, not because of his “Theory of Relativity” though. He had said that” Good times go much faster than the bad times” and my word has he captured the whole meaning of Zindagi in just one statement or wat. What a statement sirjee.


Now after a good trip (incomplete one though) while I was coming back, there was a lot of pain in my heart. When my bus took of from the bus depot, my mom gave me a flying kiss and my eyes became wet and tears just started rolling down. I cudnt stop. I love her and dad so much. So that was were the pain came in.


I think in the little experience I have of 22 years ( yeah that’s small, to understand zindagi), love is just the otherside of pain. Our zindagi is made up of more or less periodic cycles of crest and trough. Crest being love and trough the pain.


But to say that I like only the crest and not the trough, would be naïve. Cause if you say so, than u haven’t understood love at the first place. Love is that one very special feeling that can bring tears to you. Eg when you go for a long trip and see your mom dad after a long time, your eyes become wet at their sight. That’s love.
But if u ever go to an airport, you will see a lot of parents, wives, friends crying when their dear one is going away for some time. That’s the pain part, that can make u cry too.


See the comparison its actually the same.we give it different names, for no reason. Its all in the heart. When heart is moved, it bring tears to eyes, it makes u cry.
One more example, we experience both the emotions, when we crave for someone, be it in love or pain.


Both are important, and equally so. If u haven’t loved someone for the fear of suffering from pain then you are missing out on a very important emotion of life. “Pain is beautiful”. It can bring out the best out of you. something that you never knew existed in you. Akon must have been in great pain when he wrote the master piece “sorry blame it on me” or “ I am so lonely”. These are master pieces that just wudnt be there if he hadn’t gone through this beauty.


It is pain that brought out the “ koi dewaana kehta hain koi pagal samjhta hain…..” . such master pieces would not have come, if it were not for pain.
Pain makes your strong. Pain makes you go closer to things that are dear to you. Pain brings closer to God. Love will pull you only to that one person or object. But not pain. It pulls you towards your world. It makes you humble. So many good things does pain bring.


In the song jane kyun, amir khan says “pyaar me sochiye toh bus gum hain”, it might be true. Pain and love go together. But every bit of it is worth it. Love is one of the best feelings on planet earth. Here when I say love I also mean pain.
So people who are afraid of pain, don’t be. It’ better to have loved and lost rather than not loved at all. Love is a great feeling to be in and pain is a great learning to go through. So go out and enjoy both of them. You will definitely come out richer and more humble.


Love=PAIN


Zindagi Rocks !!!!

Open thy mind ....

Open thy mind
free it of the bind

Learn more about thy neighbour
experience their flavour

Learn something about World Pain
in it thee have something to gain

Don't see the World through a tainted glass
come out of thy binded class

Then the World would be a great place
like the Kings palace

Then thee would be happy
like thee were when thee were in thy nappy.


Zindagi Rocks !!!!
