I like to think of it this way: Lust is about taking love is about giving. When you're in lust you're focused on how that person makes YOU feel - excited desired turned on. When you're in love you're equally focused on THEIR feelings and happiness. You celebrate their successes comfort them in failures and make sacrifices for them without keeping score.

Another big difference is how you see the person. Lust often idealizes - you see the fantasy version. Love sees the real complete human with all their imperfections and loves them anyway. Lust is like a fireworks show: intense dazzling but brief. Love is like a hearth fire: warm steady and sustainable over the long haul. That's not to say love can't have passion! The healthiest relationships have both - the deep commitment of love alongside the spark of physical attraction.

Great question - with petrol prices we all feel this! As of 2024 the title for best mileage bike in India typically goes to commuter bikes with 100-125cc engines. The consistent top performers are the TVS Sport (claimed 95 kmpl) Hero Splendor Plus (claimed 81 kmpl) and Bajaj Platina 100 (claimed 96 kmpl). However "claimed" figures from manufacturers are tested in ideal lab conditions. Real-world mileage is usually 15-25% lower.

What actually affects your real-world mileage? 1) Riding Style: This is huge! Jackrabbit starts sudden braking and high RPMs kill efficiency. Smooth acceleration and maintaining steady speeds saves fuel. 2) Traffic Conditions: Stop-and-go city traffic gives much lower mileage than open highway cruising at 50-60 km/h. 3) Maintenance: Dirty air filters old spark plugs underinflated tires and misaligned brakes increase rolling resistance. 4) Weight & Load: Carrying a pillion or heavy luggage reduces mileage. 5) Fuel Quality: Stick to reputable pumps. 6) Aerodynamics: Wind resistance matters at higher speeds. Websites like Bikewale's mileage section track real user-reported figures which are more realistic than claimed numbers.
