Sir I am really confused and tired of life… I feel that me, serving God is not showing in me.  Sir, is suicide the best option to rest from emotional torture? This was a challenging question I received from an emotionally depressed fellow shortly before this article.

And no doubt about it, falling in love can be a unique experience. But just what is real love? Can it be best explained or defined? The word "love,” has been a bone of contention in our world right from primal times to our contemporary society.
