Meri baateiN

Recently I was surfing thru various blogposts on opera. Many writers have put forward brilliant ideas on many topics. But majority of posts have LOVE as its theme. Is living togather (happily) of two persons of opposite sex called LOVE ? Is it not a convinient arrangement or agreement of living togather, given to us by various socio-cultural & historical factors ? Is it not based on deriving mutual benefit ? Does love happen to get some benefit ? I solicit views of visitors to this post on 'What is LOVE ?'
