“You’re thinking about the person all the time, looking for every little sign from them and feeling a rush when they respond. But more often than not, you’re just falling in love with the feeling, the possibility, the way they make you feel.”
Dr. Muniya Bhattacharya, Senior Consultant Psychology, Marengo Asia Hospitals, Gurugram
“Love is much stronger. It happens when the excitement subsides and you still choose the person with all his faults.”
Dr. Muniya Bhattacharya, Senior Consultant Psychology, Marengo Asia Hospitals, Gurugram
“Our mental image will be a product of our imagination and not the actual person. Therefore, we will imagine so much that we will not even realize that we are living in an imaginary world.”
