But take heed, Love will drive you mad some day, especially this week. If you doubt this, ask a man known as Mejnun in the ancient Persian true story. We are told that upon seeing Layla he fell passionately in love with her. It was the season of love. And it was not long before He willed in his heart to settle with her within the bonds of matrimony!
So much in love was he that he said,
"I pass by these walls, the walls of Layla
And I kiss this wall and that wall
It’s not Love of the houses that has taken my heart
But of the One who dwells in those houses"
But the story does not end there. For we are told that Mejnun was denied to marry Layla, by her father. He could not believe this! In fact, the rejection was so strong that he lost his mind and became mad! The pain can loosely be compared to how Romeo felt when he was told that Juliet has died and was long buried.
This week, I reckon a few of us are destined to "madness" shortly before or after 14th Feb. This is inevitable because love is a mixture of triumph and tragedy! But again, it can have a happy ending depending on what we will determine to do.
A simple gift can warm the hearts and minds of a lover. For instance, at maduqa.com , there is a shop called Premium Precious Stones Ltd for precious stones, like Rubi, which of course would be a special gift for a lady. At the same time, there are gadgets for the "boys" like the blackberries which are also sold at maduqa.com. And for those with ample time, there is a getaway at Sarova Shaba, currently on offer at the same shop.
And coming back to Layla and Mejnun, In India it is believed that they found refuge in a village in Rajasthan before breathing their last. The 'graves' of Layla and Majnu are believed to be located in the Bijnore village near Anupgarh in the Sriganganagar district. According to rural legend there, Layla and Majnu escaped to these parts and died there.
Therefore, as you swim in this ocean of love, take care not to become mad!
Happy Valentine
