Love has been defined differently and I don’t intend to give one more definition at this moment. Love continues to baffle us every day. Love for whom and for what? This is how I began to look at love…for me it is gone (kidding)-it is destiny. To write down ones feeling is a task for many of us & not everyone can even process it; forget about capturing emotion, pain, happiness and beautifying it. It’s not as easy as Trump becoming the president of US (lol). It’s by far a difficult maneuver, I say. So, here is my step by step guide on “How to Write a Love Song: With or Without Broken Heart”. It consists of two parts and you can choose any of them to pursue your interest.

Part I: Traditional/Romantic Version

Basic requirements: Pen/pencil/eraser/note

1. You have to remain fresh (meditation can help).

2. Look for a quite/perfect spot in nature, preferably under a shady tree/garden, river bank or sea side.

3. Look around for inspiration. Don’t blink.

4. Think of your lover until he/she come sit by your side.

5. Feel the pain, cry and let your tears be the ink.

6. If you are happy, let your happiness overflow.

7. Don’t wait for another day. Write, write & write.

Part II: Modern Version

Basic requirements: Imagination, curiosity& creativity

1. Forget pen/pencil and the note. But mobile phone can be handy (if you are forgetful).

2. Feed your mind with happy & sad thoughts (mostly gay thoughts). Rule your own world.

3. Be inspired by everything on earth. Be positive (Look back, Look front-Look in every direction).

4. Capture ‘inspiration’ in every moment & everyday, even the smallest bit and put it together.

5. Be foolish, be stupid and above all be carefree.

NB: I can’t think more of it. Maybe I’m not worthy of giving this advice. And I don’t use any of the above rules except No.5 of Part II.
