R, The Eighteenth Character. The most special Character of them all. Because her name starts with R. She was the One I had to get over. Probably, the biggest reason for creating the Twenty-Six characters and then detaching myself from them all. Just so that I could detach myself from her. She had left her traces in all of the remaining characters as well. I had to let them all go just to get rid of her.

Is this turning out to be a love Story? I'd say so. How could it be not? Wasn't it since the beginning? Right from the moment Changaswami woke up that summer morning to water the plants and weeds. It was always love. He loved the weeds just as he loved the plants. Ahmed loved Changaswami, the reason why he got mad at him at every little thing, the reason why he kept going back to him and kept looking for him. Bahadur loved Changaswami. That's why he felt betrayed when he got dropped off in the middle of nowhere. Ahmed loved Z, that's why he talked all kinds of rubbish with her just to stay close to her. Pranshul loved his parents, that's why he stayed with them. The Ninety Sixth Lady loved The Ninety Seventh Gentleman which is why she entered him to spread her love all across the Universe and beyond. Everybody loved everyone. Everybody loves everyone. Love is all there is. But is that the moral of this Story? Maybe, One of them.

Is making yourself distant from love, also love? If love is all there is, then going away from it should be love too. And then living One's whole life all alone should be love also. What kind of love would that be? When there is no other person involved. Is it loving One's own self? Or is it Being in love with the divine energy? Like Being in sync with the highest power that runs through everything visible and invisible. Something that words, logics and characters can't contain. Something that can only be felt and to keep feeling it, is that love? When you are born, you feel it through your mother and call it love. As you grow and continue to feel it through a person, you call that person your love. Later in life when you find it through God, you call Him love. But is it actually in you the whole time? Could you just be in love without attaching someone to it? Without using people as hosts and be a parasite, to Experience love that is in you through them? If anything is 'not love', doing that is. Just to feel a certain shallow Emotion, drawing it from someone like sucking their blood, instead of finding it in you and helping others find it, that's definitely not love. If that was love too, then it could be concluded that love is just an illusion of the mind and has no physical existence. Though I wonder how 'sucked out of love' a person must be to suck it out of someone else. Would there be a time when I too would be sucking it out of someone? Is that what abstinence is about? Abstaining from sucking love out of people and waiting patiently to find an eternal fountain within you, overflowing with love, plenty for the whole Universe and beyond?

Well, I'm all about that kind of love. I must discover that fountain and let all parasites suck the love and life out of me.
