Why should we Love!?

There are three kinds of people in this world- Who have never been in love, who are in love and who are between loves. And it is so, that the best(read elaborated) answers come out of the people on the terminals of the three kinds list which I have mentioned before. Ironically, the people who are in love are the ones searching for words, talk about grass being greener on the other side.

Let us look at love scientifically , I am an engineer and especially after The Big Bang Theory, nerd is the new stud these days. So why should we love, no pun intended?

•  Increased energy, less need for sleep or food and focused attention- Love releases dopamine which has the same effect on the brain as Cocaine, so why try cocaine when you can simply save yourself the trouble, money, risk  and time. But wait a second, you do all these for LOVE as well. Options to achieve above stated result- Love or Cocaine or Almonds, bananas, low-fat dairy products, meat and poultry and pumpkin. I guess now you understand why so many love stories are made/ended at Choubey Ji’s.
• Increased confidence and aggression- love triggers dopamine which enhances secretion of testosteron(t) and estrogen(e) secretion. Now both t and e causes hyper active sweat glands, surge of emotions(temper and arousal) and increased senses. So if a guy or a girl talks about sky being bluer and the roses in the hostels looking redder, he/she is not bull shitting, he/she is in LOVE. Options to achieve above stated results- Love or Testosterone injections or an increased Protein Diet(eggs, fish, chicken, curd and milk). Now, you know why people become possessive.
• Increased water absorption in Kidneys- Making Love releases Vasopressin which is also called as the antidiuretic hormone(here I assume that Making love indeed follows Love). This causes is primarily responsible for body's retention of water by acting to increase water absorption in the collecting ducts of the kidney nephron. So either you can make love and release vasopressin or you have to increase your water intake.
• Improved relations with your parents and controlling blood pressure- Oxytocin is the intimacy hormone. Love causes it to be released as usual. So being in love causes us to be closer to our parents, part because of a guilt complex and part because of oxytocin level. So either you can fall in love or you can follow the diet you’d follow for dopamine. Although let me warn you if controlling blood pressure is your sole motive, then falling in love might not be a good option.

  So far so good, now apart from these, Love has many other good effects as well-

• It teaches you how to be tolerant(DON’T read submissive). So you know if you can tolerate your better half or your good half, you can any day survive a demanding, grumpy and difficult to please boss.
• It lets you know who are your best friends. Love follows break ups, that’s the gospel truth. Now before you fall in love, you have a set of friends who advise you not to, who you show the finger while, all those enzymes mentioned above and many more gets released in your body. Then it so happens that they stop for your other half, so she/he jumps the boat. You are sad because of the lack of enzymes of course and then those ‘fingered’ friends come back to you, the ones lets you blame your other half sitting all the while with a poker face are your best friends.
• It teaches you how to edit a CV or write a Statement of Purpose for your MS in US. After all you tend to do twice the writing and twice the research.
• MOST IMPORTANTLY- It helps you make a practical definition of your future partner. The Brocode says and I quote- You need to buy a couple of Marutis before you earn your BMW.

Neither should you be afraid to love and accept nor should you be afraid to not love and reject/get rejected. It’s all a part of your growing up. Love, leave, live these three words are all in there to play Permutations and Combinations with.
