There is a certain amount of madness in the air today- that kind of madness you would associate with a mad girl's love song. What is it about the mad girl that renders her version of love, a convincing degree of singularity? Is it because she is not exactly capable of loving in the conventional manner, you know the conventional manner, where the woman expresses her love and in most cases is loved back in return? The usual drill follows, laughter at the silliest joke possible, tears at the slightest reproach. and then the never-ending fights and days of silence. There is a sudden intake of breathe and a even more sudden burst of clarity, the illuminating kind and the resourceful individual that you are, you are already striding towards the exit with a vengeance that would put even the most committed cynic to shame. Of course, there is a certain amount of melodrama involved in this elaborate charade of love. It is supposed to be that way after all. What is all this brouhaha about love if it is not dramatized enough? what is the purpose of a love story, if one does not shed copious amount of tears, ranting at length about the absolute inefficacy of a love story?
And then there is the ,mad girl's love song- when it is not exactly laughter and tears but fire and ice of the most tangible kind. When you see love course through your veins, burning you with a degree of conviction that would put sanity to shame.- the insane, reckless abandon with which you see yourself burn every moment, every second and you still don't want to back out.
and there exists a very thin line, a small glimmer of light between this kind of love and that. Of course, there are armed sentries posted at every corner, silently waiting for you to take the plunge.

I realise that this post is meant as some sort of foreshadowing about this insanity called love and the varying degrees of madness associated with it. But I think that the sheer genius of this post lies, in its ability to convince a person that hates everything associated with this emotion, to go ahead and fall for it in every sense of the word. Looking forward to deciphering more answers blowing in the wind. P.s. I think I was sold on the title itself. You rarely see bob Dylan anywhere these days.
The title itself caught the very strong hold of my gaze at once itself. but as I delved into it further, I actually could realize the concoction of emotions associated with another pure emotion, which I myself call is love. truly loved your writing and the pool of your thoughts. keep goin' on !!!
