FALLING IN LOVE... !!!!!

The first thing that struck me when someone mentioned this to me was, is it really a “falling” kind of a “feeling”..??? In spite of being in a situation where i think i should have known the answer i find myself still searching for it.... sorry folks for writing on something so serious but couldn’t help myself..
I just don’t know what love can actually do to you and the thing is that you never know until you actually go through it.. things when told to you does seem like a funny story and it tickles you but when you find yourself at the similar junction you may find the difference between the “idiotic” and “romantic” generally fading away ( for atleast the person concerned..).. sorry for deviating from the main topic.. point here is whether “love” is a state where you fall into or is it a state where you climb onto.. ??? to many this might seem a stupid idea of discussing this but then why not give it a try..
I feel that everyone must have gone through this kind of feeling atleast once ,not necessarily with a member of opposite sex (or even same..he he he..), may be with the songs you listen to or may be with the books you read or may be with the character of a movie or a novel or for that matter may be even the things you possess.. When someone’s in love somehow or the other way he/she tends to change the daily chores of his/her life and sets a separate preference for it..sometimes that might propel you to skip the classes to go and read the unfinished novel or it might make you walk some 20 mins to meet someone for just 1 min or for that instant it might even make you live 2-3 months like a rat so that you stay like a prince for those 2-3 days that you secretly planned to spend with your girl ( any guesses..???) .. may be because LOVE and PASSION go hand in hand...anyways point here is when you consider these kinda feelings then probably you would feel that love indeed is a falling kind of feeling, i mean who in the world would like to do such nonsense and idiotic stuff (no offense to anyone...!!!!!) and this is just the beginning.. but on the other hand, these same feelings are the reason that makes you feel “elevated”..(and i really mean it based on personal accounts)..
Again its a common feeling that people think that one tends to “lose” oneself when in love but what we usually forget is when one tends to lose something, at the same time one also “gains” (particularly in love)...may be you might lose the attention of someone but at the same time you grab the attention of the most desired..All this time it never occurred to me that being in love i had lost anything ,on the contrary it always felt as if this was the best thing that happened to me so when its referred as “falling” in love, it sounds as if its a state down below your present state which i would never agree upon..all in all my friends i don’t see any reason why it is referred as “falling” in love..may be because it sounds a bit romantic..after all we cant afford to simply overlook the fact that “romance” has something to do with “love”..
PS:- I just hope you people get what i am trying to say.. i would really love to see your responses and your take on the issue. People keep posting...!!!!!
