Chemistry Behind “FALLING” In Love

The remark chemistry in the title is not in the figurative sense but literal. Unquestionably you must have pondered over why it is always falling in love why it isn’t in the other way, rising in love. Well I do recollect a commentary in TOI’s ‘speaking tree’ discourse where some maharishi sermonized over how to ascend in love. Though I did not bothered much about it as it, more often than not, dealt with universal brotherly sort of love, which is a perplexing concept even in the locality of Philadelphia (the city of brotherly love).

Now let us scan this love virus through a rational perspective. The cheeky citation which once an eventful Mr. Einstein remarked on the question of love is proverbial. He cited “Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love”. It’s straightforward. We all can identify that. But Mr. Einstein with all his consummate and innate physicist flair failed to convey a theory of ‘falling’ in love, may be he would have included this issue in his theory of everything which haplessly is still been devised. Thus all the physics, till present, fails here.

Switching over to biology and neurophysiology in hunt of a plausible elucidation. It appears so vexed to an engineer like me. Also at the end it talks about the various chemical processes engendered in brain, the heart is conspicuous by its very absence. They say in love it all originates from heart and biology projects it as a miniature human cranium stained in oodles of blood. That’s why biology is so soporific. So I stirred to chemistry of which I can claim to have a little acquaintance (although it was nightmarish in preparatory days).My darling topic in it was ‘Atomic Structure’ (as it was damn plain), and luckily I figured my much sought after answers there alone.
Remember drawing the energy diagram during formation of ionic bonds. The underlying theory is: “As opposite charges attracts each other therefore the electrons fall towards the nucleus and as they get nearer the energy of the entire system dwindles which thus leads to stability of the system”. A parallel rationalization of ‘loveology’ for the vindication of the falling term could be “Lovers attract each other (opposite pairs provided they are straight), this brings them closer (In our institution at the onset library is their citadel though later on if love prevails they scour out all the exotic locations where their contingent is in preponderance). The energetic inanity and seemingly endless drivel telephonic sessions (at one of the cheapest rate worldwide) is a highly demanding process (so energy is naturally lowered). The complexity involved in the process hardly leaves someone with time for any other activity, and thus stability comes as a byproduct.”

Ironically most of these phenomenons often end into feud. Now tell me how such a complex milieu could leads to a rising situation unless and until it is an illusory Bollywood movie? It may look blasphemous to few and raise some ire. But boss in case your love story is true (CAUTION think again: which is the rarest of things to discover) than the stability which your fall will fetch is pious and virtuous one. Still if you are at loggerheads feel free to scribe your comments.

P.S. U still can post comments even if my analysis is at par with U. Now U will say he is hungry for it.
