I have often heard people say about falling in love at the first sight and this has often left me wondering. The following passage is solely my personal opinion and it is very evident for others to differ on this.
Love is an emotion which can develop gradually based on the compatibility, understanding and equipoise of thoughts of the partners. Love at first sight is a notion which can exist and flourish in Bollywood or Tollywood, but in reality it is entirely much different. One can very well feel attracted or infatuated at first sight. As in most of the cases, the other person is a stranger to you and you hardly know anything about the person apart from his/her looks. We do certainly have chances to develop this attraction or infatuation gradually into LOVE.
If falling in love was as simple as that then I don't even have the number of counts I have actually fallen in love and do continue to do so. In fact my nursery teacher would have had been my first love going by this sentiment. Love is an emotion you never know, when you are actually in. It can be really a very treasured experience. Most of us do consider that being in love is heavenly, courtesy the romantic movies and novels.
Being in love practically means that you have new challenges to face, new responsibilities to take and compromises to make. Love and attraction are two different but unseparable entities. One can never fall in love with a person without being attracted towards him/her. Attraction has to be one of the prime reasons for people to fall in love, but attraction always does not result in love. Love is a universal phenomenon which needs to be a perfect blend of attraction, understanding, compatibility, balance of thoughts and rationality.
