What is love? This is one of the most difficult questions with no specific answer. I asked this question to different people of different age group to know meticulous meaning of love. A five year old boy described love as the sentiments he had for his mother. I asked a teenage girl and she described it as the crush she had for her school captain. A college student described the love as feelings for the hottest girl of the class and a 30 year old woman described love as the understanding she had with her partner. None of the answers matched with each other.
So what is love? I decided to look for the answer on internet and found a poem written by Mrs Indu Mukund. This poem touched my heart, made me emotional and till now I have read eleven times. The poem describes her love for her late husband. She is wife of Major Mukund Varadarajan, Ashok Chakra (Posthumous). As I read the name of the army officer, it reminded me of the news which I had read and seen in magazine and television respectively. The officer led from front in counter terrorism operation in Kashmir valley and attained martyrdom. For his leadership and courage, he was awarded the highest peace time gallantry award ‘Ashok Chakra’. I still remember Mrs Indu Mukund receiving the Ashok Chakra on behalf of her martyred husband.
So what is love? Love is care, sacrifice, loyalty, generosity, understanding, dedication and patience. Love cannot be described in one word, it is a complete literature. Her love for her husband is immortal which cannot be diluted with time. I am sharing a snapshot of the poem written by Mrs Indu Mukund wife of Late Major Mukund Varadarajan, Ashok Chakra.
