What's Love Got To Do With It ?


Ahh.. So it’s that time of the year again...fortunately or unfortunately (I say so cause its still hard for me to take a pick ) I don’t have Mi Amor so I for one am not drowning in a sea of chocolate and roses and an assortment of heart shaped pink things  :p .

I have never been much of a believer in Valentine’s day  irrespective of whether I am single or coupled .Acknowledging romance for each other is one thing and is beautiful no doubt but why restrict it to just one day of the year or just one person . Why should one have to spend a fortune on arranging a night’s date at the best place in town order for the lovely lady to feel special and loved? If love has got anything to do with it why does it have to be so commercialized? If love has got anything to do with it then why are  the limits confined to expressing your love for the so called boyfriend or girlfriend only? If you truly believe in it then why not spread some warmth and smile a congenial smile at that guy who gets you coffee everyday, the bartender who fills your last drink when its hard to get through a day’s work, the cook who keeps you from starving everyday, whoever – acknowledge what people do for you however insignificant it may appear to you on an average day – it’s Valentine’s day after all.. Love is in the air .Let everyone feel it!!

Valentine’s Day is for the obtuse undoubtedly but hating it is ridiculous too. Why place so much importance on something you don’t care much about. People organize anti- Valentine’s parties, dress up in black...they are possibly even stabbing stuffed toys of poor cupid who wouldn’t dare strike at them sinister beings . That kind of  acute antagonism seems daft to me .To top it all up there is also an Anti Valentine handbook up for sale on Amazon for an exuberant price which has a picture of cupid stabbed to death as its cover page..It claims to seamlessly get you through the agony caused by Valentine’s day and love itself .  *bewildered laughter* .Thinking about it, these dim witted acts can be an outcome of any of the following  -
  • A recent bitter breakup that has left you feeling jaded about love.
  •  You just have a general hatred for the color pink and red. Basically you have an unexplained low “mush”   tolerance.
  •  You are in an unsullied relationship but cliché couples involving in an extravagant expression of love and PDA just nauseates you.
  • You are single and the existence of a sanctioned day for love is a constant reminder of your current relationship status ,and well you can’t help but be poignant about that :/
  •  You are very much in “LOVE” but your mate’s idea of celebrating Valentine’s day  , ends at getting wasted and pulling down the decorations in a frenzy of emotions so he obviously overlooked the idea of sending you some red roses  L
  •   You simply despise the idea of belonging to someone and letting someone cling on to you. Ahh ..Freedom be thy lady and Singlehood be thy Prince. (yOu ScaREd liL KidS .. :/ )

That’s just as far as my rationale takes me. But whatever reason you have to be detesting V day I believe, each one of us has at least one person who instantly rings a bell when you lay your heart bare. Well, its time to pick up the phone and give them a call !!!

As for the person who is overwhelming my mind and being…the call will never be answered but I am sure the package of love has been signed. Sealed and delivered!!
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY FOLKS…LET THERE BE LOVE   !!!!
