LOVE !!As Science sees it .! ( Part 1 )

Just another blogger , bloggin about the most blogged about topic in the history of BLOGOSPHERE. So how hackneyed can this blog be. To an extent ,Yes ! The word in itself , has been blatantly used at every occasion , street corner , every food joint, marriage gathering , ladies room et all…Like a rainbow without a shade of Green , blogs would be a tad incomplete without the slightest mention about it . A Sentient yet an intangible behemoth .,It is huge , It is incomprehensible. I might not be wrong if I say that a million people will have two million sensings about it .
Man has an inquisitive mind . Reasoning out things . Why things happen the way they do ? Woman is even more so , with a curiosity unparalleled .That is why , perhaps this Lady Scientist decided to embark upon a life’s ambition to figure out the science of Love ! . More than fifty years of studies , research , findings , observations to give credence to her theory. A couple of psychoanalysts with their own independent observations bolster it too ….

Situation 1:
So you’re a teenage girl or maybe were sometime ! . An adolescent girl( definitely not innocent ) , You have a new male class teacher . Very rough looking yet very gentlemanly and polite. Girls are absolutely infatuated with him. “Am I looking good today?”, “ Will he notice me in the rollcall ? “. The rush of adrenalin when its time for his class . Then eyes scouring for a glimpse of him in the hall way. And when he walks to you at the end of the day, deep down you seriously wish he’d say something more than just sweet compliments !!! “Miss .. Your essay assignment on the Battle of Panipat ,1526 is a week overdue ! And I expect it to be on my desk first thing in the morning. ” . You saunter off subconsciously towards the library willing to spend the night making notes !!!.

Situation 2 :
You’re a College guy. Waiting at the bus stop . To a bystander it seems like you are cursing the bus for being late . Maybe you have plans of reaching home early , and catching up on a chapter of Fluid Dynamics !!. And the reality is that you have bribed a fellow classmate to take your bike to a certain known place. Suddenly your face lights up . and the bystanders face contorts as he realizes that you are not waiting for the bus , but a certain member of the opposite sex , who happens to commute daily on that bus . And its no coincidence that her destination is frightfully close to where your bike is parked . You get onto the bus .Through-out the 40 min journey ,you are always trying to catch a glimpse of her seated at the very front .Alas all you can see is the jet black of her hair and a feet and a half of yellow dupatta . The 40 min journey on the rickety cantankerous bus seems like a few min. You forget to claim the rest of the money the ticket collector owes to you. You forget that you feel nauseous and dizzy whenever you are inside a bus. And finally when she disappears into her house at the streets end, you are at your wits end when u realize you are 30 km from your home .You aptly scratch your head in disbelief, and walk to your bike and drive home !!!

And a million such instances .Each a masterpiece and with its own merit . ( I have my own share of such instances which By the way are not just restricted to the subject of emotions !. but commonsense as well ! Dum dum that I am .). Hey ! Hold on Wait a minute. Now where does science come in here ? It does , Chill . Read along.

(To be continued in PART 2.... )
