The Problem With Love Is...

Swarup has written an excellent poem in "The Problem With Love Is..." forum which has so far received dozens of responses. Here is a snippet for you to preview.

[...] I once had a friend
who grew to be very close to me.
Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool,
she filled the palm of her hand with some water
and held before me, and said this:
"You see this water carefully contained on my hand?
It symbolizes Love."
This was how I saw it:
As long as you keep your hand caringly open
and allow it to remain there,
it will always be there.
However,
if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it,
it will spill through the first cracks it finds. [...]

Swarup's poem has received praise from Rashmi, with Venom commenting this as "a first rate interpretation of love" while Jyoti thinks everyone should read this post.

Not everyone is entirely happy with the poem though as Shah goes on to explain that it's okay to have certain demands.

it does'nt sound simple to me at all!! it's remote from practice!! and y?? y shud'nt u expect n demand? if ur love is true it shud fulfill ur expectations n demands... love cant be there under the influence of a fear... that if i demand or expect this love thing may turn wrong for me... i think that if ur love is true.. the one who loves u is true to u... u shud come off in accordence with the expectations ur love makes n u got a right to demand!

Either way it seems this poem is stirring quite a discussion with several members asking Swarup advice on dating, love, etc. He is even later on called the love doctor by Shah because of the number of questions regarding love and dating posed towards Swarup by members.

I wouldn't be surprised if Swarup's scrapbook was filling up, and if anyone has any questions regarding dating, feel free to post a message in his scrapbook.
