This day of the year...

Reasons to be happy if you are single...

  • You have a free evening...
  • You don't have to go through the pain of selecting just the right gift which does not look like a cute white teddy bear with a heart on it or a box of chocolates which is in a heart shaped box or something which is not colored red
  • You will not shell out twice even thrice the money for Roses that suddenly become very important...
  • You will not be sitting in a restaurant and feel like being in the sea of couples some of them are happy, some of which just there, some which are only looking at others' properties
  • You don't have to do something if you don't want it, and because the world does it
  • You will not be thinking, wish I was single again :)

Reason to be happy if you are a couple...
  • You got another day together...
  • You can finally spend sometime thinking about how to express (unless you are too lazy and end up buying a few roses, a teddy, a box of chocolates and the loads of other things which are more common than air)
  • You don't have to through the thoughts about why you are still single
  • You are not looking at every girl/boy/woman/man who is walking alone hoping that he/she looks at you and there is a chemistry that builds up right there and then


Why is it that we need a specific day to celebrate affection ( i am choosing not to call it love, because I personally feel that its a word, not just any word, but still a word which is the results of hundreds of other emotions)... so coming back to my thought... why do we need one day?

Men always hope they will get laid... does not matter if its valentine's day or not... only on valentine's day they feel that every other women they are going to see is hunting for a guy !!!

Women always don't want to get laid only because its a specific day... ok almost always !!!

This day the earth or the air or the mountains or the stars are at no specific position which would increase the feeling of being loved or love someone more ( ok ok... i used that word; did not know what would fit better there)

At the end of the day...
its the Rose dealers, chocolate companies, restaurants etc etc which take away the love that you have showering on your guy/girl only because its the 14th of Feb...

I someone is really special to me, I rather make them feel special every morning when they wake up...
and every evening when they call it a day...



Also I have a plan... when my Chai ki Dukan opens in its real form... on valentine's day the entry of couples ( like only two people who are madly in love) would be banned...

Come with
Friends
Parents
Grandparents
Kids

and I will assure you one of the best days at the Chai Ki Dukaan...


Also keeping in mind the chichora guy I am... I would not be surprised if the song list of the day includes...

Ek Chumma tu mujhko udhaar dai-de... aur badle mein up bihaar lai le...
Meri Chamiya tu haan mein jawab dai-de... aur badle mein dilli punjab lai-le

and...

Kisi Disco mein Jayen... aur hotel mein khayein...
koi dekh le ne hamein yahan... chalo ghoom ke aayein humm

Chalo ishq ladayein chalo ishq ladayein... chalo ishq ladayein sanam...

and...

Bidi Jalaiye... jigar se piya... jigar ma badi aag hai...

and...

Sapne mein milti hai, o kudi meri sapne mein milti hai...

and...

loads of songs where you don't have to worry how you are looking when you dance :)


ok.. so coming back to the point...

enjoy your day... make someone feel special today... and make sure you make them feel special tomorrow, and day after tomorrow, and day after day after tomorrow, and the next Sunday... and the next Monday and Thursday as well...

Do that !!! its IMPORTANT... more important that you know it is...

  2. :| kya prashant itna boring sa post kiya tune :((((

    Today atleast 5 people asked me what was my evening plans ...dont jump the gun...lol it wasnt men these are all woman colleagues. I said nothing with a shrug and they had their mouths open with a O..

    No matter couple fight all through the year no matter they beat each other black/blue....but on feb 14th everything is fine . I think one should call this day as MAkeup day or sumtin like that :P

    I even know someone who got engaged on feb 14th and got married on next year feb 14th ... lol and i keep teasing the couple that they planned this because its easier to remember their wedding anniversary.


    now saying all this...i would probably do the same (not chocolates, red stuff, teddy and all) probably take some off a day before V day and day after v day and go camping maybe :))

    Notes to myself -Dream on dream on

    sorry dear to dissapoint you again... :( but i seriously don't think I need any specific day to define when I should do what I want to do for the person I love or want to spend time with...


    I really liked your plan of the one day before and after chutti !!!

    par yaar valentines ke aas paas bahut bheed hoti hai... maybe a week after or week before !!!

    tera note to yourself bhi achcha hai...

    Dream on...

  4. lol koi disappointment nai :))

    well bheed is there always ...but i guess v day may no bheed..half the crowd will be hanging around shopping malls,movie halls,restaurants..but i guess very few will get into a forest to camp or to a lonely beach to swim.....I was dreaming of that :P

    hehe ya dream on ...:)) and ill leave with this quote

    "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one.”

  15. Good post... too many confessions pb... and yes i second 'me' in her last comment :)

    Two things... my personal opinion... this day, one can be or shud be vocal abt their feeligns and which permits pda... not that i dont mind doing it everyday... but most of us dont do it everyday and the spark goes....so atleast this way u may get a reason to ignite those feeligns or brush it up why do u celebrate all the festivals cause life wud otherwise have been very boring and generic... btw i m not against or for vday... for me its just another fun day.....waise bhi i dont feel vday is just for couples its for everyone and anyone you love/adore/feel affectionate about...

    ab ye to kai tarah se interpret ho sakta hai :)

    please tell me it was a nice thing to be said :P

    # Slip...
    confessions... well... yea... :)

    My question to you would be... why only this day? when there are so many companies out there to only exploit your feelings and make loads of money out of it...

    if you want to have a special choose some other day... your birthday, your partner's birthday... or just any other day but this when when suddenly the world trying to be loving... its commercialisation that rules the affection on this day...

    # Sharanya...
    :) they were looing very very nice dancing together..

    # Kshitiz...
    thanks :)

  21. yeah i agree with you commercialisation sucks..... but i feel aajkal all festivals have been commercialised... to add to the advantage of a few....... secondly its a personal pef regarding choosing this day or some other day.... i dont mind an additional day barrign bdays and anni... moreover ppl do it as a herd trate as well... u know liek to be in vogue...

  27. They don't have your regular teas, the kinds that are served in chai stalls (boiled for a long time with milk).... they have varieties like White T, Rose Green T and jazz like that...They serve milk alag se and discourage drinking T with milk (but they DO serve it alonwith) as most varieties they have do NOT need milk. And price is Rs.50 per cup :D heeee gawddd.
    So, go only if you want to taste variety...I liked the Rose green T a lot...

    hmm... now thats kinda expensive... but knowing that some good tea can cost a lot of money, I would let this price discussion pass...

    meri chai ki dukaan to dhabe types hogi :) which serves one for the road :) and more... dekhenge... when i sit down and seriously think.. i would have some ideas flowing...

    Jaan padega yahan soon..
