I listen...don't I?

I kinda take pride in myself in being a good listener. A certain incident today, made me think otherwise. Do i acutally listen to what people have to say to me? Do i give a thought to all the advice i get from my friends or elders or anyone for that matter? I will like my friends who read this to give me instances in which i have not been a good listener or have refuted an advice without even thinking for a second. I think i might not be listening without realising what i am doing. Please post comments, i will really appreciate it.

Love is......?

Since everyone and everything around the world are talking about Valentine's Day aka Lovers' day, i thought why not write something about this very frequently and many times very loosely used word. A GTalk with my good friend Rahul today, led me to these thoughts about love which is written by Rahul's friend on his blog . He wrote: I feel there are two different aspects.To love someone.And to be loved.It is said "to be loved" is a natural need.And for me , its a need and not love.As long as you want this person or need this person , you dont love her , you love yourself and want "to be loved".Love is not meant to be a selfish thing.Love is much harder and selfless than that.To love is not to wish for someone to be with oneself , but to give up oneself for that someone.Love is not in sharing coconut water on some beach, but in staying thirsty if it helps her.Love is not in her coming to you , but to care for her when you know she would not come to you.
