When do you know?

Yaar pata hai zindagi mein ek baar toh hona hi chahiye ... pyar!, you get to appreciate such beautiful songs so much more :)
Something that I had said while listenin to another love song on the radio... I guess every song becomes a love song when uve known love...
That brought me to a question I've had the pleasure of answering quite a few times, "How do you know when you're in love?"
I'm gonna be giving my answer and I want each one of you to try and add to the list, which I'll compile and add to the post in an update. So here goes:
  • When you feel proud of that person's achievements knowin that you had nuthin to do with them.
  • When all you really want is to make them incredibly happy.
  • When you don't even realize that you subconsciously care so much, it comes naturally.
  • God forbid if something were to happen to the other person you go ballistic.
  • When that's the face you wanna see first thing in the mornin, last thing before you go to bed.
  • When you do things that u wouldn't have done a day ago and they seem almost the most obvious thing on earth to do.
  • When you instinctively do things that you think the other person might appreciate, bas yunhi.
  • When you want him to be the first person you tell everything to and you want to be the first person he tells every lil thing to.
  • When you can always remember what the other person says, more often than not you replay it in your head over and over and smile to yourself.
  • When his family, even his pets become important to you.
  • When you get just a lil possessive.
  • When you wanna shout from rooftops that you're in love with a wonderful person and its the best thing to have happened to you.


Oh and since we're talkin about love I might as well mention that OILY is out... I mean Of course I Love You by Durjoy and Maanvi. I'm gonna go buy it soon, pick up your copy soon too :)

ceedy said…
All I can say is dont define love with logic...its a feeling and feelings dont have any boundaries :)
when every single thing that person says means so much to you.. the smallest thing they tell you can make your whole day or break it..

i dont think there is much i could add to your list.. youve put ething and very beautifully too..
Cuckoo said…
It's such a nice list. I have BIG smile on my face. :)

You have compiled it nicely. What do I say now ?

You are so much engrossed in your thoughts ki Bas ek smile aa jati hai khaana khate-khate.
:-)
This was told to me by someone.

Gr8......
Another Beautifully created Materpeice...
Since sm1 up der said wat a guy's list wud look like
i think i hav a new blog post material in sight....

But till i do dat ..

Here 's a few beginner thght's

1) When d wind carressing her face seem's to make u jealous..

2) When even d sight of smthing remotely connected to her makes you remeber d time's you were alone wid hr and saying d exact same words in your mind even if d event happened ages ago...

3) Jab after talkin till d tym u hav ur balance and energy spent ...U think of calling her bac d next instant cz u start missin her so madly...as if u havnt been speakin for months nw...

4) Agar u get a miss call from her end and u reply wid a call which isn't picked u type d biggest apology letter on d SMS @ speed of light ...

5) The Smell of her perfume makes u go wild....Der isn't a smell just as intoxicating...nt even alcohol...

6) Smtymes whn u get mad @ her...Like once in a year or so...You end up buying her a present just to make her be happy as if u were @ fault end...

7) Whn nt talking to her seems d harhest and most painfull and uinbearable thing to ever happen...

8) If she smiles u smile by default,but u can nvr stand her to start crying...

9) Whn d care 4 her get's exponentially increasing every zillioth part of a second....

10) I knw it sounds Stupid,but talkin to her in d most childish tone ,cz she's always like a child to you,Makes u feel so so so wonderfully good dat u nvr think of neething whn u see a child smiling but her voice in your head....


Guess dis is a good enugh list ...
But i will add d more clearer detail's whn i make mine...

UnTill Later,

TkCr Shona...
Urv said…
And yeah to add to the list.. When you miss her even when you are with her.. When tears in her eyes can make your heart cry.. When all you want to do is keep looking at her while listening to her sweet lil voice..

Prateek said…
just when the hardest thing to say is Goodbye....
Your words of quotations are wonderful ...dil ko chu lia
Jack said…
Vandita,

You are in love when

- your eyes unconciously keep searching for him or her at all places.

- time seems to fly in his or her company.

- you act and do silly things or laugh for no reason at all when both of you are together.

- you turn poetic or " shair ".

Well, these are few of things I can recall now.

Take care
IncorrigibleV said…
@prateek
heyy long time ...
very good point, is true from my experience :)
IncorrigibleV said…
@raghu ram prasad
thank u so much :)
IncorrigibleV said…
@Jack
yep totally...
reminds me of Plato's words "At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet."
:)
lovely list!
Ankur said…
then how do u and why people move.... :)

i know when i m in love but i dont know why she isnt anymore.. interesting isnt!!
such is life!!!

Cheers!!
p.s. how were exams?
IncorrigibleV said…
@Ankur
how and why people move?? well that i think calls for yet another post.
I dunno whether i read this or i heard this but it said people fall in and outta love all the time, hence people who get their heart broken once actually manage to find love again...

fairly interesting and happens to a lot many more ppl than u realize... such is life!!
:)
@PS theek thaak the, only mobile ka paper aadha outta course tha !
Cяystal said…
AWW!
You're one big radio buff,no? :P


I've never been in love..except with my frnds and family! =)
badshah khan said…
you dont njoi any moment to the fullest seems some spark is missing
Pri said…
ahh looks like im late and almost all the points are covered up....

but as they say, love is everything and so it cant be summed up....
there are no clear cut limits or boundaries which define it....

all i can say is that u know ur in love when u know everything about the person and still love him/her.....
when u find urself helpless and crying just to see him/her sad....
when u miss him/her soo much that it hurts and yet u want him/her to always keep smiling.....
when u want him/her to be happy even if it means ur not a part of their world....

thats when u know its love i guess....
but then again, this is one of the most difficult and confusing question in the universe...so lets leaqve it at that.....
i guess when one is in love, u just know it! :)

by the way, chk out my latest post...and yeps do contribute..im sure ul have a lot to share on this one....we all do :)
lukkydivz said…
i still love eating chocolates alone :P

great points vandi :) lemme add a few

-> frequent calls just to make sure he is fine
-> saving every penny just to surprise him with gifts.
-> his fav songs as callertunes :P

i can go on :P
Mana said…
That was a nice suspense @ the end by mentioning its was a new book released.. :)

Is it available everywhere?
kiran sawhney said…
1. when suddenly you feel complete
2. The person just left after meeting you and you are already missing him/her.
3. You smile for no reason.
4. You can do anything to make him/her happy and see a smile on his/her face.
5. You start understanding the unsaid/unspoken words.
IncorrigibleV said…
@Crystal
hey, honestly i didn't get the radio buff... i am a music buff though :)
IncorrigibleV said…
@badshah khan
hmmm good point, everything seems incomplete i agree ...
IncorrigibleV said…
@Pri
never mind being late, i couldn't agree more with ur last point... it doesnt matter if ure the one makin them happy... as long as they are happy :)
the posts have been pending, ever since mum came and i was presented with the mammoth task of configuring one laptop with files and programs and cleaning up the other.
my new post will say it all, will visit u soon and surely contribute
