my heart goes on....
for all those of you for whom this matters...happy valentine's day. and for all the others, like me, whatever. every year...feb 14th comes and goes by...but (un) fortunately its not a different day in my life. there is nothing out of ordinary that i do. i admit,though, that its nice to see the love birds scrambling in gift shops and flower boutiques trying to give a present to their special some one and express their love.
i wanted to raise this question today which has been bugging me for quite some time now. forgive me for being totally un-romantic on this day for bringing this up. but i thought this is the right time...anyway the question is "Why is love associated with heart?" I thought love was a feeling like any other emotion....and every feeling originates and culminates in brain. So, whether you love someone or not, its a thought process and seems logical to be associated with brain. Where does heart come into picture? I don't think it can think! Can it? Someone told me that brain has some nerve endings which go into heart and these emotions are carried on those nerves. So when the brain generates any emotions the signals are carried to the heart and it might be biologically affected. probably thats the reason of increased heart beat / pulse rate when you see someone you love. why is the dear brain neglected and not given any importance in this phenomenon then? why does heart get all the credit? i always believed brain is one of the most complex structures in the human anatomy and should be given its deserved respect. if you had to choose between heart and brain...what would you choose (assuming you would be alive with only one of those)? i would go with brain ...whats life when you are not able to think?
so when people say "you dont have a heart" or "he thinks with his mind rather than heart" what it essentially means is that part of brain which deals with emotions is responsible. thats how i see it . now dont get me wrong, i love the heart shaped balloons and all those beautiful songs written on heart and love...but it just gets me thinking you know. why did our ancestors romanticize the heart and not the brain. i dont have a clear answer...i hope you would give it a thought next time someone says something about the romantic-heart. if u have something to comment i would be glad to discuss.
anyway...i wish you all a happy valentines day once again. hope u get to celebrate it with your loved ones. ... luv V

hmm...Well i cant comment on this topic....as im lil immatured. But i do agree that Brain is more neglected than heart.. atleast for luv birds.!! hope this blog some ppl tp change their lingos..neway Happy V day
neelo chaala talent vundhi ra ...and chaala frustration kooda ...ne way answering u r question...few yrs ago i saw a prog on discovery that addressed u r question.
In olden days when ppl werent as "matured" as now ....they felt heart is the place which actually responds to the emotions ..simple logic is when u see opp sex or touch or do any "other thing" u feel u r heart bouncing, .. heartbeating with higher pace etc ..dont u ??
and ppl had heart attacks when they heard bad news etc... i never had experienced but they say pain in love failure is also felt at heart "area" rather than brain..and this made those ppl believe heart is the centre of everything and as the poems, stories were carried from older generation we simply follow it ...
chaala biological ka alochistunnav ...ninna read a joke about a biologist romance ..
the compliment he gives to his wife when she wears a revealing dress...
"The approximate 5 pounds of dead cells that cover u r bones,muscles and flesh is silk smooth"
Let's see
1. Brain -> Thought & Reason -> !blind -> !Love
2. Love -> devine -> pure souls -> pure blood -> Heart

@nune
u r reiterating what i said...heart gets the affect but the responsibility of generating the emotions lies in the brain
@kj
naa daridram neeku artham ayyinanduku thanx....manaki valentines day difference emundi cheppu..except for wishful thinking
@arup
hehe..nice one...but as an aside the heart shaped balloons are not "really" heart shaped...thats an abstraction of heart...v can create such beautiful abstraction shapes for brain too :)
reading ur story abt heart and brain, i remembered a story which my grand ma told me when i was young...
once all the human parts started fighting to prove who was superior among them like brian, heart, head, hands, legs etc etc
When even ASS wanted to compete, they laughed and made fun of it.
ASS stopped working and u know wat heppened next i guess...
So, its not important who is superior or for whom the credit should go, till the moment u know - watz the cause and wat its affect is going to be and how to tackle a situation....
Coming to your question, i dont know whether heart can think or not but i do believe brain can think... but what exactly we mean by brain thinking... no one can explain.. is it a feeling or sensation or emotion????
but when ppl try to respond to a situation, 2 kinds of acts r possible - one is thru brain and the other thru heart...
when i say brain, acting within self concisious boundaries but when u think thru brain, u think out of brai to satisfy other person and in turn u get satisfied...
think with brain in work and think with heart, when it comes to ppl...
i maynot have expressed properly as i m not that good in english as u...
may be give me a feedback to improve my english...
@vinay
i hav heard the story too !! coming to ur point...what do you mean "think out of brain"? ...r u saying thinking with heart means thinking with brain but with no selfish intent? i will probably agree with that...but again "selfish" is misinterpreted in a lot of ways..i wont go into that for time being
regarding ur english...its fine dont worry about it...as long as u can convey what u want :)
Dude,
Unfortunately, somehow i came to read ur brain-heart story..Jus wanted to tell u that its all the brain that does everything..but dont u think it is overloaded...processing too many processes all at a time..multi-taskin or multi-threadin..watever..so it communicates to different organs in our body to react to different specific things...Heart is one of the important organs in our body and is located right in the center of the body so that wenever a person is in distress, a simple hug might reduce a lot of burden, in which case it is involved something physically, touching your chest with someone...even tho u might try to touch ur heads, more specifically esp the part wer the brain is located..wich might help to some extent..but defnitely not to an extent of two touching hearts..All I want to say is it is simply an organ designed to do specific purposes..and that in communication with the most superior organ in the entire human race, the BRAIN...
For other things like fuck a pussy..i mean wen u wanna hav sex..y is that u need a dick..cant u do it with the brain...Penis is the organ which is specifically designed for this purpose, prob the most convenient way to eject ur white matter.:)..Even in this it communicates with the brain all the way to the top..Same as the other organs..but ur rite..brain is involved in every process..and the specific organs, i feel, are indispensivble for different purposes..seriously man..without a man without a dick, cannot feel horny no matter how imaginative his brain is..same is the case with heart inorder to feel love and express it..Thats all i wanna say dude..wether it makes sense or not..it makes atleast some sense overall..
@kj
i agree partly with wat u say...every part has its distinctive purpose...totally agreed on that...but a hug is as much related to brain as its to heart...just try to touch two hearts and tell me if it has any effect....i dont get ur dick theory too....i wont agree with the statment that "u dont feel horny without ur dick"...its all in the brain dude...dont u agree that u dont feel horny when ur "mood" is not right...thats because ur brain is loaded with other pressing problems not because ur dick is busy :)
Late entry, but now you are living upto the title of your blog! ;)
