Sometimes we know that the other person doesn't love us, yet we still fall in love with them, falling deeply in love. Even when we know that the other person loves us, we can't truly love them. In the language of science, love is essentially the interplay of key neurotransmitters-specifically the hormones dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin-which evoke feelings of pleasure and satisfaction. That is precisely how your body gets ensnared in the web of love Children of the 90s understand this all too well; falling in love required them to think a hundred times over. They had to contend with the fear of their parents, anxiety about their careers, and the ever-watchful eyes of society that seemed to hover around them constantly. Back then, people placed immense importance on their education, careers, and families. Deep down, they understood the true nature of love and realized that winning it over was incredibly difficult without the courage to pursue it. While the definition of love may have evolved in today's world, the emotions of true love-and the pain associated with it-remain unchanged for anyone who has ever embraced someone with a sincere heart. "This is a story from the days when young men and women didn't have the freedom to simply fall in love. They carried the weight of family honour, career pressures, and societal expectations on their shoulders; they bore the burden of conforming to society's ideals of manhood and womanhood. This is the story of a girl who didn't plan to fall in love-it just happened."
