Love is in the Air..... (Sam)

Well.... I have been in a right state ever since I have been selected "BUFer of the Week". Not just because I am so glad about it, but the more overwhelming part was I guess the special post. So, there I was clicking on the new post link at least a dozen times before I could even think of writing these lines. Sam has never been so confused.. lol....

Before getting on with the actual flavour of this post allow me to take a trip into a different world. The world of "Magic". Ah!! Do I see some of you ready to flip to the next section?? Patience, my dear friend. Last week, Harry Potter and the Order Phoenix - the movie was released, couldn't make it the first day (thanks to work timings **grumbles**), however the next day me and a few other Potter maniacs from work got together for the 8:00 pm show at a nearby multiplex - Gold Adlabs. Well... the movie was amazing, for those who haven't seen it, go get yourself a seat now..... it is worth watching... the wizarding duels are a treat. So there I was, totally into magic.... with my mind reading off spells faster than I could think of command in .NET.

And a week from that, lo and behold..... Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows would be out in the market.... and all copies have been booked!!!! I missed the bus.. not to be deterred, I searched amongst my friends for a PDF version of the same - doesn't promise to be the original but at least something!! And that's how I came across my current read. Wondering how it is related to the topic. Let me fill you in.

The greatest weapon that Harry had over Voldemort was LOVE. The only thing that Voldy never had. Fear, respect, power - he had it all..... but love... NEVER!! Sad but true..... So, here is Harry - "The Boy who Lived", "The Chosen One", trying to find out how to go about in destroying Voldemort, and then there is Love which is evident through each and every action that goes on in his house - 12, Grimmaul Place. London. Ron-Hermione, Harry-Ginny, Remus-Tonks, the entire Weasley family...... The way these people go about their tasks, the reason they want the Dark Lord destroyed is nothing but the Love that they have for each other.

Come to think of it, mind you I am just thinking aloud here, but if you really having a loving relationship with the people around you wouldn't things be more beautiful?? Life a little more simpler, and more pleasant to live in?? Agreed, Love has been the cause of one the most famous battles chronicled - The Trojan War, but then..... that's a one off isn't it?? And frankly, even there hatred, jealousy, vengeance, pride had taken over the Greeks which led to the Trojan downfall. So, in the end the end is it not true, that the negative thoughts and feelings overtook and destroyed a city carved and nurtured on Love - the City of Troy. If we decide not to hold back this emotion within us, to let only the near and dear ones be subjected to it, and allow even strangers to get a feel of it, will we not make things better around us?? Who knows it might just put the smile back on some one's face at a time when he/she is in desperate need for it!!

Here is what I want all of you to do - list down the following things and let us know..... write a post (do drop in the link here though!!) or a comment... I don't care, but write. Here are the points:

1. The most lovable thing that ever happened to you...

2. The most lovable thing that you have done till date in your opinion...

3. The most lovable thing that you have seen or heard of...

4. The most romantic thing/moment you have done/had...

5. And something you'd love to do...

Think and then tell me............

Love always for there is nothing more beautiful!!
