The first man I loved

All of us sustain ourselves and somehow live in this world because of one single word -love.It is not just love to a girl or a boy but love in the broader sense towards humanity.The recent calamity in chennai and select parts of Tamil Nadu was negotiated more by love of many whose faces and names we may not remember .The good and the honest , the wicked and ugly the criminal and the saintly have been washed away just like that in a fleeting second as nature does not discrimiate.Mostly good have perished more.

We shall make digresssion from flood and say something about the first man or woman one loved.In the following I give a para  taken from the autobiography of Actress Melina  Mercouri," I was born Greek"
"The first man I loved was Spiros.He was extremely handsome, extremely seductive.His mouth smelled sweeter than any man's I have ever known.I adored his embrace scented of rose water and basil.he was strong. he was tall. he had a passion for me.It made my childhood a very happy one. Spiros was my grandfather.he was also mayor of Athens for 30 years."
