February is the month of love. Everyone gets busy finding their respective Valentines. Others, who already have Valentines, are busy celebrating it. Giving and accepting of roses, exchanging of gifts, sharing of dreams and promises to be together! How Romanticccccc......
A few years back (a common phrase in all my posts, I guess) I learnt about Valentine's day through the media. Since then I have dreamt of celebrating it with the love of my life. But so far, I haven't been able to do so. The only problem I had, and still have is my Valentine :( . I haven't found any one yet. Or rather I should say, no one has found me yet!! Ha ha. I have liked many girls and I still like many, but they should also like me. Here is the trick, no one likes me. No issues. God would have created someone for me. And some day I will meet her and will celebrate Valentine's day with her....
The guys usually have only two problems. First, finding the Valentine (which I am facing right now). Second, finding the gift for the Valentine on the Valentine's day (which I will face later)!
When I was doing my engineering from NIT, Surat, we used to have "Injury Day" after Valentine's day (see the picture). The day symbolizes the hard fact of life. It is an expression of the first problem, finding the Valentine. You like a girl (guy). You wait till the V-day to propose to her(him). And the result you get, in most of the cases if not all, is INJURY. If she(he) accepts your proposal, then the injury will be 'constant and never ending'. If she(he) rejects it, you may get 'temporary or short term' injury. So, invariably "Injury Day" should follow "Valentine's day". Some lucky fellow gets away with temporary injuries. For the rest, life long pain starts. It begins with the all time hit question, what to gift her(him)?
I have two very good friends who are married. I happened to meet them just a day before the V-day. They both were a little confused as to what to gift to their respective wives. They asked me also. But I was busy with Problem no.1, how can I deal with Problem no.2! So, I left them in confused state of mind, which is the obvious state. Then I also begin to wonder that one day I will also have to think about the gifts, then why not to start now.
Since then, I am thinking about what to gift my Valentine after I have found who is my Valentine. I am still thinking, help me if you can.. ha ha...
Hi Sameer, i really liked this post.
ReplyDeleteNice post.
First of all, nice pic, nice celebration in ur college, hope we would have celebrated the same in our college.
I could not find u in the pic. I guess you would be busy in finding ur valentine, and hence no injuries.. ha ha ha..
Best of luck for your Valentine,
Ehh.. i am inexperienced to suggest you, as i am also on the same side as u r, that is looking
but i guess when u will find her the second problem will be automatically solved, because as far as love is true ; you know what she will like and what she will not, or what she has been looking or expecting from you.
Nice post,
Keep writing.
