LovEconomics

Coup de foudre! It is so much the better so much the worse to be in love besotted. Everything around seems to be perfect; her smile, her dimple even her wrinkle. There are butterflies in the stomach and cuckoos all around this is not to say that the life becomes a sanctuary with birds and animals, the trees suddenly seem to be greener than ever, the imaginative bent of mind which was sombre for years rejuvenates and architectures grotesquely pulchritudinous shapes for clouds. Nature comes to life at lovers’ disguise. For the rationals it is pure science which justifies that with an irresistible cocktail of chemicals, our brain entices us to fall in love. I do-not intend to defy the bloody souls(after all these chemical reactions start in blood) but what is it that makes them the nature lover every time they fall in love and when they literally FALL in love,(yes the rational minds got me correct that is when they break off).

Recently while travelling with a long time friend I saw him admiring the nature spitefully which tickled my cognition because as far as I knew him until he fell and FELL in love he was no where a nature lover at least a spiteful one! I enquired out of my natural habit with an appeasing and empathising tone,” what is wrong brother?” not to say I was being crafty but it is best to handle these situations by being a bit emotionally furtive then being without getting your emotions to motion. He confided in me and said dude I am shattered which made things quite clear but out of moral obligation I had to hear the whole story.

Rising and falling in love reminds me of the business cycle which my professor explained me effectively when I was a sophomore. It starts with a low yielding thing which gradually reaches the peak and then there is a decline which causes depression literally and incidentally in both cases i.e. economy/business and love. There will be a day for obvious reasons that pundits at the Universities around the world will have to come up with a subject “love economics” to explain the characteristics, benefits and limitations of love along with the most obvious demand – supply, demand - price relations in accordance to love to make the gen-x more practical in their love years. It is common to hear these days “dude I am shattered she left me!” I am not a male chauvinist partisan and do-not want to hurt the maternal instincts so for the females here goes the most famous thing when they break off “silence” literally.

Those who have failed in love decry it altogether and some of those with the eternal hangover go deep down into depression; so it is here where love economics can prove to be an effective saviour. One cannot ignore the fact that when there is an all time high yes obviously in love it brings along a hole in your pockets , your phone bills are at an all time high, your ATM’s run out of cash which naturally we all despise so it can be seen a characteristic advantage of break offs. It not only pommels your pockets but also your space and in some cases you have to share your washroom space also with your phone and beloved. You cannot admire the other adorable admirations (other beautiful girls/handsome guys) lest if you do it in front of your partner you are incriminated. I do-not deny the fact that that it pinches badly during the decline in relationship as it does in business cycles but as after all the decline there is again a rise maybe with some other more beautiful and more mature creation.

P.S.: It is a light-hearted article and not intended to denigrate love and any committed relationships.
