FASHION AND THE CITY

Rishi was desperate to know the signs of love and if it matched the 'symptoms' he was facing. Mr.Gera till now was not able to find anything specific about love. Rishi had instructed him to keep this confidential so he could not even ask his 'committed' colleagues what was love like. He was been literally inundated with this task by Rishi. On top of that, Rishi was frequently calling him to know if he had found out something. When Mr,Gera opened his mobile's search engine to find about it, the results were loaded with different answers. Some called love as a blissful feeling, some stated it is a waste of time, some said it is 'once in a lifetime experience', blah blah blah...

Now the time was testing Rishi's patience. But he couldn't wait anymore. He called Mr.Gera

"Mr.Gera! I had given you enough time. Still you have no results! Do you know how difficult was it for me to wind up 7 meetings in a few hours?"

"Results are ready."

"WHAT?"

"Sir I am ready!"

"Hurry up! I am in meeting hall."

It was just a few milliseconds since Rishi hung up the phone,when Mr.Gera knocked the door.

"Come in."

Mr.Gera's legs trembled as he was moving forward. Never in his lifetime he had faced such a situation. When he saw Rishi, it looked like if he made Rishi wait for a few more seconds he would pounce upon Mr.Gera and tear him apart. Without any delay Mr.Gera said

"Sir shall I start..

"Fast."

Mr.Gera inhaled some air and closed his eyes for a second. When he opened his eyes, there was a different kind of energy in them. A few moments before he was like a coward cat and now he is like a lion who is ready to tear his enemies to win his territory. He was ready to speak

"Sir, I spent hours to find what is love. I visited innumerable websites. There were different answers to choose. I was confused. But a few minutes ago, a thought struck my mind. Sir, I am 31 years old now. Till this time everyone experiences or have experienced love. Everyone encounters a person who becomes their reason to live. I had also encountered one. I do not know what others think that love is, but I can tell you what love is for me. Shall I say?"

"Yes."

"When you are in love, it is a bliss. Bliss that makes you addict to it. Addiction that gives you pleasure to have someone besides you. Pleasure that makes you blindly believe that person. Belief that becomes worship. Worship that makes you passionate. And passion that makes you do anything in love. Love is passion. The feeling that knows no boundaries nor any restrictions is passion. The feeling that makes you find something which is found everywhere is passion. The feeling that spurs you to burn the whole world or even yourself is passion. The feeling that doesn't makes you bother of any gender, colour, religion or race is passion. And passion is the limit of love. So love is limitless."

After delivering this declamatory and eloquent speech, Mr.Gera found himself relieved. Rishi was stupefied by his answer. Neither he was able to respond nor he had any expressions. Not only Mr.Gera made him stunned for a few minutes but he also made him wonder that who was that lady whom Mr.Gera loved so much.

"Mr.Gera I never knew you had such praiseworthy talent to make a person like me dumbfounded."

"Sir, even I came to know this today itself."

"If you don't mind can I ask you a personal question?"

"Sure sir."

"Who is that lucky girl whom you love so much?"

"Girl?"

"If you don't want to answer then I won't mind."

"You will yourself come to know in some time."

"Oh."

Rishi was recalling what Mr.Gera said a couple of hour ago.

'He said love is bliss. I get a blissful feeling when I see her, sit besides her. Addiction. Of course I am addicted to her. If I don't see her again and again I feel distressed. Pleasure. It gives me pleasure to see her, to talk to her and to see her smiling. Belief. I believe her blindly. Even when she said that my canteen menu wasn't good or my office's work environment is not that good, I gave her the responsibility to change everything knowing that she has zero experience. Worship. Since 10 years I have prayed to God. Prayed for her, prayed to her. And limitless passion. I am passionate to win her heart although she hates me.'

"YES!!!! I LOVE HER! I AM SMITTEN BY ALIYA!" screamed Rishi and continued

"I LOVE YOU! AND BE READY, ALIYA! YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND IS READY TO CONQUER YOU, YOUR HEART, YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR LIFE!"
