Valentine special : Love Kal Aur Aaj Expressing love thru generations

The meaning of love(as you may like it "true love") and its value in people's lives is not something which changes with time. Where there is love, there always will be attraction, kindness, care, trust,loyalty, sacrifice, acceptance, respect and gratitude. Love never changes, it's one of those things that always remains the same.

What changes with time is the way we perceive and express love and the way we handle or live with love.Couples from three different generations share their opinion on love as a treat on Valentine's day.

Grandpa generation

ASS Ammanna Sastry and AV Subbalakshmi are a sweet couple with 43years of unbounded love and affection. Sastry expresses his love towards his wife as "It's been four decades we have been married, neither of us looks the same, but we still love each other.

We raised our children with many problems and still we stick to one point in our relationship- love. We had a lot of rivalries but at the end of the day, we sit and laugh at the problems. She is an excellent swimmer and bagged many awards at the international level at this age and I will always be with her to fulfil her passion.

I think supporting our love dones is the best form to express love. She is the only person who makes me feel amazing and connects with my heart."

AV Subbalakshmi says "I always want to be with my husband, I enjoy every moment when we are together, holding his hand, thinking about our future and reminiscing our memories, I feel like heaven. I respect everything heis and has accomplished, yet I am not blind to his faults and can accept them as part of who he is.

We are both well-educated and accomplished, but in widely different areas yet we share some common interests that enrich our lives. I think of myself as very lucky in finding him and believe he feels the same way about me. I can't imagine my life without him for even one second and hope we are together for therest of our lives."

Papa generation

Lakshman and Jyoti married twenty years ago, and they are regarded as made for each other in everything. Lakshman says, " My wife is a teacher and she won many awards for her excellence.

I always believein her excellence, At this age also, she loves to learn new things and I am really fond of supporting her, when she is driving car I like to guide her, when she is angry I like to soothe her.

In my opinion, real love is sacrifice. It's a sincere desire to put another person well ahead of your own. It's thinking of them before making a decision and choosing what's best for her.

It's making sure she knows she's loved and valued each day, especially on the days she's messed up. It's coming alongside her and partnering with her to make her dreams a reality. It's being willing to lay down your life for her ifneed be."

Jyothi says " My husband is the best person I have ever seen. He cares for the family, works hard, helps me in cooking and in arguments he lets me win. I always fall for him for his affection.

Every day I feelI am lucky to have him beside. I believe love is all about giving without expecting. Love is all about treating your partner as if you met today. That will make your relationship stronger.

Present generation

Ch Venu and Chandana Swetha married a year ago. Swetha says, " I have asmart, intelligent and a nice guy on my side. I found true love. I know I'm very lucky. Well yes, I'm from the present generation but we are very different from most people in my generation.

And I guess people like me do exist who understand the value of true love, trust,loyalty, honesty in a relationship. People who understand how important these things play in a relationship know how precious true love is. I believe that love never fades, whatever the generation we are in, love gives us hope every time. If you find true love never let it go. The most precious treasure in the world is to love and to be loved by the person you love."

CH Venu says, "Words were not enough to express about her. Everythingwas unreal to me. She was sitting next to me that I dreamed a thousand times and now it has come true.

I was looking at her face wondering about everything, wondering about how far I came in life and I will do anything to make her happy.

In my opinion, love means whenyou care for another person's happiness, more than your own's, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.I will do that for my love of life- Chandu."
