And when love strikes Chandni S

And when love strikes; it's like a thousand thunderbolts, at once strike

- 

'I love you doc.. All I do is stare at my phone, waiting for your msgs; and it's something I have never felt for anyone so far' - Comes not, from one discovering his sexuality for the first time or even from one looking for his partner for life. But from one the world may perceive as a have-it-all; a well-settled, content husband and father, who privately claims he didn't have the money to afford love when the age was ripe! The rushing adrenaline, racing heart, sleepless nights, desperate waits, dreamy smiles and love-struck eyes are symptoms that when struck by, few can claim to have conquered and won too.

Fame, success, money, comes to those who not only dream but work towards it and while we spend our lives chasing this, what about Love? Who has not desired, craved or pined for it with their very existence?? When it stands tall matching every need mankind has ever known to want, what stops one from pursuing it ardently, like their very breath depended on it? Monuments were built, Wars fought, and lives valiantly laid - all for that love that eludes many a common unfortunate soul!
