I know I am writing
in pretty late about my Valentine’s Day, but I guess it’s worth a moment of
reading… or at least of writing!
Well, most of the day, of 14th February 2013 was
spent in a rather regular manner. Not too much said or done! However, as the
day passed, and I didn’t have much to do, I came home and lazed around for a
while. Waited for maa to come back from her evening walk to just co-exist while
the TV was on. But to my surprise, I was asked out on Valentine’s Day. The day
every love starved person looks forward to or plans for, at least for a week
throughout the year. So had I. Though I didn’t
expect this to happen. I have never
expected my mother to say to me, “so what if your day ended soon, we have to
evening. Let’s go to the mall and grab a bite” and all I say is, “cool! Let’s go!”
It’s like how aviator shades are back in vogue, keeping
things simple is in too. Maa and I reached the mall, and did our regular thing.
Shop at the super mart and grab a bite at the food court!
We strolled around with our basket and happily filled it in
with soap bars and fresh kiwis. She gifted me a lip balm [I am a shameless
valentine… couldn’t get her anything] time passed in each other’s company. We ate some chicken and garlic bread, some
beverage and some dessert. It was indeed one of those times, when you know you
are happy. I’d not say the chirpy and giggling all the while- happy, but it
definitely is the kind when you just feel content from within and that smile on
your face would never agree to vanish!
Well, that’s what I think is love. Also, I strongly feel, we
must love ourselves to even be able to love somebody!
Belated ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ to all those looking for
love. Look for it within yourself… if nothing at all, you may find a reason to
smile!
Dedicated to saint Valentine, though I think if you were
here, you’d tell people, love doesn't limit to romance!
Cheers!
-Love,
Miss. I don’t really love Valentine’s Day!
