Valentine's day

I feel like a million tonight…….one at a time please!!

These words aptly describe the sense of euphoria engulfing every youth on the eve of Valentine’s Day.
St. Valentine was truly a saint to fill the world with so much of love in one single day trespassing all boundaries across all nations.

I choose this day to write a letter to my Valentine. I am not a big fan of open letters but this one is from all those out there who are afraid of falling in love just because of the sheer abundance of product and subsequent duplicity.


Dear Valentine

Let me begin with I like you. I like you because it is too early for me to fall in love. I know what it is all about. Yeah sure every time I see you my knees go weak, I have butterflies in my stomach, my entire anatomy goes haywire. More still all those sexy flicks do an action replay in my mind with both of us in lead roles. Exactly, any mad person can see it is love. But I choose to deny it. Denial is the best form of aversion.

You want to know why…. I am afraid we are here just because it is a Valentine’s night. You needed someone to enjoy the day and celebrate the night with. Probably you do it every year. Believe me, this is the first time for me. The V day is not a big deal but you definitely are.

Throughout my growing years I have seen enough such days. My conclusion, if heart breaks were to be numbered we would need to reinvent exactly three times more the count known to mankind today. For every successful Valentine there are five more who need counseling and days of attention.

All this just because we have so much of love to give that it could be taken up as full time employment or business…. Pyaar do Pyaar lo.

However I am willing to give it a try. Share markets have taught me, ‘ the more the risks the better the returns. I am willing to invest monetarily in all those silly cakes, flowers, gifts and physically in all those French kisses, Spanish body caresses, English seductions.

Anyways while we are here let me tell you my story of true love. I met him at a common friend’s place. I never believed in love at first sight before that, just could not take my eyes off him. How playful he was, making everyone around him laugh, giggle and utter words of affection. When it came to his looks he was tanned, well built for those of his age and above all had eyes which captured. We have been together ever since.
I hug him to sleep every night and he kisses me morning every day. There has not been a single instance when we fought because we trust each other blindly. A slight headache for me and he is by my bedside the entire night. He can’t see me upset. He hesitates the least in picking up fights with people who do that to me. I can spend my entire life in his eyes for I see so much of myself there. The world jibes at me for our mutual admiration. Can’t help….love is blind.

Jealous, confused!! Please don’t be. Of course, I was preaching the need for one love and no, I am not two timing you. It’s just that there are times when I feel the need for a man or else I could spend my entire life with a Dog….bosco, the only steady man in my life.

Why can’t we all take back some learning from these silent creatures? Neither are they human nor are they literate but aren’t they better off.

Don’t love me for fun, let me be the only one.

Love me for a reason, let the reason be love.

P.S. For every instance of trust that you plant I will return heaps of love.


Lovingly yours

Valentine- today, tomorrow and forever.
