What is LOVE?

Indu PoV:

"Indu,pls stop crying.Its ok,leave it" Harini said consoling me.

Akash's behavior hurt me so much.

"Hmm"

"Indu,Let me ask you something.Why are  you so angry on Akash? Why don’t you like to befriend him?He was inspired by you because you saved his life.What's your prblm?" asked Harini

"Harini,How can I befriend him?I didn’t know anything about him.He is so friendly from day one.  I am so scared about his behaviour. I didn’t mean he is a flirt or bad person but,I didn’t like to create complications in my life.As my duty,I counselled him and saved him.I couselled many persons till now as a team member,but it doesn’t mean I will befriend all of them.

I am unsure how frndshps turns into,in the long run.Having intention of love and starting with frndshp,I hate such ppl.Everyone initially starts with frndshp because no one can ask directly for love.I didn’t want any divertions.I just want to reach my goal.Nothing matters to me.Anyways leave it.I need some rest.I am going to home.Bye.

Akash PoV:

I am in my home remembering Indu and her tears.

"Akash,come lets have dinner" said mom

"No maa,I am not hungry. You all pls carry on" I said slowly.

"What happen to you? You look so weak n tired. Are you ok?" Asked mom

"Akash,Don’t worry too much about the dream.Leave it beta.Come,let's have dinner" said dad.

I don't understand my feelings towards Indu. That's the reason behind my dullness.

"Not about dream.Today I fought with Indu"  I said

"Ha,it's common whenever you both meet,obviously you both fight" said my sister so casually.

"It's serious Angel.I thought to make her happy but I myself made her to cry.I can’t have dinner today.Please leave me,I need rest" I said leaving from there.

I heard mom words.

"What should we do now? He never changes.Whenever he hurts a person,he skips food.I don’t understand why can’t he control his anger before"

Indu PoV:

Next day, I went to college.  I still didn't forget Akash's words.  I am in my thoughts and Harini said.

"Indu,Read this" Harini said handovering "Young Achievers" magazine to me.

"Whats so special in this Harini" I said

"Read the interview of Akash in the magazine.You will get your doubts clarified" she said

I started reading his interview:

Reporter: Mr.Akash,Congratulations on your success.You reached the peak of success and shaked the world with ur music in very young age.As you are an inspiration to young generations,people are interested to know your views.Shall I ask you few questions on behalf of your fans.

Akash: Thank you.Yes,please proceed.

R: Mr.Akash,We heard that though you are a world famous rockstar,You are so simple and very kindhearted.How can you be so generous?

Akash:Nothing special in me.Its all because of the way,my parents raised me.

My dad always reminds me to remember the starting point of journey of my life and what made me reach this stage.He says we should be rich in thoughts not in the way we live.Being simple n humble increases our circle.

I would be nothing without my family,friends n gurus.I have nothing to be proud of myself because I succeeded just because of their support.There are many people who succeed in their life without any support.What am I before them?

My mom says if you have money just to live peacefully and respectfully in society without depending on others,its enough.Spend the remaining for the ppl who are talented,but had no support and make them reach their goals.Their words are my way of living.

R:Awesome sir.As you said friends are also a part of your success,Can you please share your views on friendship and especially friendship between opposite genders.

Akash:To me,frndshp is all abt sharing happyness and sorrows,helping to be better though accepting as they are.

Friendship between opposite genders in modern world is nothing wrong.But,faking frndshp and having intention of love,is very bad.If you love a person,tell it directly.When your love is true,definitely you will win their heart.But don’t mask your love with the beautiful n purest form of bonding called friendship.

R:Do you mean frndshp turning into love is wrong?

Akash:No.My point is don’t start friendship for love with the person you love.However,if you love your frnd,I mean in the long run of your friendship,by understanding each other,its really great.Aft all,its said,a person who is your best frnd will surely be a good life partner too. My point is very simple,be pure and honest in your thoughts,words n actions.Don’t act and fake.

R:Mr.Akash,I think your words will help youngsters to frame their actions.As you got to the point love,can you please say what is love to you?

Akash:Love is a very sweet and special feeling.In my view,love is nothing but, the promise you make to be together till the last breathe of life whattever comes your way and the trust on your beloved which never fades away even the entire world stands against your loved one and  says she/he is wrong.

R:What are the qualities necessary to make a relationship sustain forever?

A: 1. Understanding one another.Even their silence.When you understand a person truly,you will be a mirror to their feelings and thoughts.

2.Respecting the feelings and decisions of beloved.The one who loves truly can never disrespect and degrade them even in tough times or for fun.Show your respect even in your words,the way you speak to them.Show your love in your words.You can never talk recklessly to the one you love truly.

3. Support in hard times.

4.Trusting your loved one even at times when he/she lose trust on self.

5.Inspiring and encouraging one another to be more better and successful in all aspects of life.

R:Whats your opinion about life?

A: Life is all about relationships.When you are good at building relationships by sharing your love and care unconditionally and without expectations,life becomes much easier and more happier.

R:Now lets change the topic to your profession.Have you ever felt that if you are born in another nation you would develop in your career much faster? We heard rumours that you are moving to US very soon.Is it for your profession?

A:No.Because When you hav talent,you can succeed anywhere and India is a place where you can experience immense love and bonding from parents n friends.It helps you to be more n more successful.I didn’t have any idea of leaving my nation.This is my nation and I will be its citizen forever.

I hate brain drain and migration of citizens to other nations.Why should we sell our talent to some other nations? We are developing other nations leaving our India in darkness.Why can't we use our talent they  develop our nation? 

If we feel our nation is not a gud place or not supportive,then do your part to make better place and more supportive.If your loved ones had few bad qualities,are you going to abandon them? You will surely try to change them,right? So if you love your nation too,then change it n develop it,but don’t leave it.

R:Do you think change is possible in present society?

A:Yes,its possible.When you have a good intention and are determined, you can bring the change you want to see in the society.As Mahatma Gandhi said,”Be the change you want to see in this world”.Then whole world joins you.

R:Your views are really thought provoking.Thank you Mr.Akash.We are glad to have your interview.

Akash:Thank you.

I lost in Akash’s thoughts after reading his interview. He is clear in his every opinion. Is it my fault to misunderstand him?  Am I wrong?

"Indu,Wat do you think after reading his views?Do you think he fakes friendship for love?I don’t think he is of such kind" Harini said patting on my shoulder

"Wait dear,I need time" I said thinking about him and unable to decide anything.
