Love can be simply defined as the best feeling one can experience in ones life. Feb 14, Valentines day - is a special
day for lovers. It is said that on this day, lovers speak their hearts and
celebrate their success of togetherness. However this day has been highly
merchandised. It has been branded as the festival of Love. The one day when it
feels like only lovers exist on Earth. The lovers get all the universal
attention they need. Music channels are flooded with love songs, movie channels
are loaded with romantic movies, restaurants call for a fancy dinner or
undisturbed lunch in a cozy corner with innovative menus. Chocolates,
ice-creams, cakes -everything calling for love. And without the mention of it,
it would be incomplete - bouquet of roses, which reign the entire
day- symbolising love, care and affection. SMS ,cards saying love messages are
on full swing. DIAMONDS ARE FOR EVER - Money cant buy you love , but a lot of money
can be spent on love-Diamond rings and pendants play a vital role as Valentines
gift.
To be personal-
But in my
life Love came in with my marriage. Love was offered as package with my
husband to me.It was as if he walked into my life and just like that we made the
best pair for ever. Love was there more than you can imagine and it still goes
on and on even after 27 years. Actually , marriage changes an individuals life
in many ways. It brings lots of joys , additional responsibilities and not to
forget,worries in small measures. As we try to adjust the new person into our lives
,the smooth road of our life becomes rough and strong Since my marriage my
husband has become my best friend and he was the one who taught me to
enjoy little little things in life. Valentines day celebrations brought me
gushing memories in my life path. Though I was not gifted Valentines gift ,
I have, of course been showered with
gifts all alongwhile by my husband. Though I had never been on a date, I have
been to a lot of candle lit dinners. Roses had been replaced with jasmine
flowers , diamond rings were replaced by Kanjivaram sarees and a peck on my
cheeks and pat on my shoulders were my valentine cards.I am not debating about
the age old Love or critisizing the modern saga of love .But I am of stubborn
opinion that love in those days were not bit inferior to the modern pompous
version with Valentines day.
Last week Pope had an advice for all couples to
lead a happy life.He advised couples to use please , sorry and thank you as
much as possible.I have a piece of advice for all the couples on
this V day to have their love last longer-Saying I Love You as often as possible is the secret behind the
successful life. Unexpected romantic surprises will also spice up your love. Having
arguments also add magic to it. But one important thing , one should be able to
say sorry and admit his or her faults.
