Life without love is like deep fried chicken without the flavour. Love is like the constant feeling of that flavour hitting your taste buds for the first time, of wanting to savour every single morsel, of hoping that the bucket will never empty no matter how much you eat, of realising that if this is what heaven has to offer to me, I would gladly die right this moment. It is like the drive-through where you don't have to stop for even one second, the restaurant where they serve what you are craving for most right now, whatever it may be, the hot coffee on a cold winter night, the cold coffee on a hot summer afternoon, the first mango of the season, the last piece of the chocolate cake in the fridge. It is better than getting the bigger share of the pie, the aroma which tells you that your favourite dish is being prepared, finding out that the person who used to make the dish you used to love and thought would never be able to taste again, except for in your childhood memories, is back. It is that and so much more.
Sounds too good to be true? Unfortunately that is the case. We are not equipped to handle this amount of happiness, the sheer bliss. We need preservatives, cold storage, calorie counts, insulin shots. We just aren't made that way. And that is what we have to realise, there is no such thing as a free lunch. You have to workout so that you can eat pancakes with maple syrup for breakfast, watch the weighing scale to be able to order extra cheese on your hamburger, skip lunch so that you can enjoy the buffet at night.
Life is when there is too much salt in your food, you find a squashed bug in your burger, the milk in the fridge that went bad, the burnt steak at the barbecue, waking up in the middle of the night feeling hungry and finding absolutely nothing to eat. It's not fair, but that's life. Can't do anything about it, except take it in your stride and deal with it. So if you want love in your life, just remember that love doesn't come without the life factor either.
High: Slept a lot.
Low: The four hours I spent alone in the hot sunny afternoon. Not that I wanted company, it just gave me time to think. I don't like to think these days.
Points: To Nandu, for suggesting the movie City Of Angels. Beautiful movie, do watch. Oh, that's 1000 points.

"Living on a larger scale would soon entail a lot of care and strife
We could be so happy with the little things in life
A little rain, a little sun, a little work, a little fun
A little time for loving when the day is done"
