    Today I happened to receive a spam mail, the subject read "Love Calculator". This made me write this blog.

    I remembered my college days as soon as I saw this mail. During my college, one of my friend had shared a website link of love calculator. I excitedly entered the names of my parents, sisters, friends (almost everyone I knew) in that website. I was very disappointed when some of the scores were very low. I laugh at myself when I think about this now. So funny, isn't it? How childish of me?

    "How much do you love me?"
    "Whom do you love the most?"

    These were questions which I posed to my husband couple of years back when I was not so matured enough. My husband being a sweet heart, not wanting to hurt me would say "I love you the most"
    I still ask him these questions, but now jokingly. His answer has not changed.

    This incident was also long back during my college days. I and my younger sister always used to compete for my four year old nephew's love. We always used to bug him with the question "Whom do you love more?". His answer used to be "I love both of you equally." When the same question was asked in the absence of other, his answer was different. "I love you more. But don't tell her, she will feel bad." How very smart of him?

    OK, jokes apart. Ours is an arranged marriage and the initial days of marriage were very difficult. Both of us took time to get along with each other. When I think back I cannot remember when I started loving my husband. It just happened gradually.

    We love people in different kinds. But that does not mean that we love someone more and others less. Each kind of love is great in itself.

    Is it important to express one's love orally? And what about giving "gifts"? Are these ways of measuring the amount of love? Can we measure love by calculating how many times a person said "I love you" or how many times he/she presented gifts? These things seem less significant to me now.

    [​IMG]

    Love is not a "thing" which can be weighed or measured. Its a feeling. There is no formula to calculate love and it just cannot be measured. Neither can we define "love". "Love" can only be enjoyed. Loving a person or being loved by a person, both are joyful.

    Love is infinite.

    "The measure of love is to love without measure."
    — St. Francis de Sales

    PS:This blog is just my point of view.

    Hai VC,

    Nice Love measurement writeup. It should not be one way traffic it should be on both the side then only the LOVE will be more meaningful.Husband and wife LOVE cannot be measurable always LOVE cannot be measurable. A TRUE LOVE CANNOT BE DEFINED AND MEASURED. My love towards reading your BLOG could not be measurable dear.
