Q. How would you define love?
Chandru: Wow, talk about starting off with a bang! Well, I'd have to say that Love is the ultimate paradox. It can be the most beautiful emotion and the cause of the most painful sensation. Love is a test and a reward. It's as strong as it is fragile and separated from hate by a thin line. A tiny ember can flick that switch flipping the intense love to hate. It's what we yearn to experience but leaves wounds that we carry for a lifetime. It is the root of both joy and pain.
