With Cupid ringing bells at the doorstep of every lover, the favorite time of the year is here for the youngster's specially for the teenager's who barely know about what love is, just the thought of getting gift's from their girlfriends or boyfriends excites them.
For the new lovey-dovey's it's sure the day to get more mushy, lot's of coochi-cooing and public display of affection.For the veteran's it's a bitter reminder of how thing's have changed, the lack of heart-shaped chocolates and hugging each other in public.For the long-distant one's it's a day to be glued to their mobiles and cursing their fate to be away on this day and for the single-ready to mingle one's it's a day to try out their love luck.
Having a partner has become a fashion today.A person who doesn't have one is looked upon as an alien and is booed everyday in his friend circle.This is the reason people just look for a partner and not for true love.Such relationship's end in a very short span of time.But, life doesn't end here.The search for a new partner begins the very next day of the break-up(I should rather say the very next hour).
The search specially gears up during the valentine's month.The race to show-off their partner's excites every youngster today.
So what is Valentine's day?
Many of the youngster may think its the day to celebrate the love for their partner's.But the story behind Valentine's day may not exactly be said as a love story.A legend say's that Saint Valentine was friends with an Emperor in Rome but was cruelly killed by him on this particular day for helping people marrying in Christian ceremonies even after been warned not to, by the Emperor.But how and why people celebrate this day as a day for celebrating love with their partner is not mentioned anywhere in the legend.
Why is love confined to a partner of opposite sex? Can't the fondness for the smell of rain,the shining stars lighting up our dark nights,the first ray of the dawning sun,the flowers in our garden,the shadow of the trees be termed as love?
Can' the affection of your mother, the hug from her,your favorite food prepared by her despite coming late from her office be termed as love?
Why can't your father's scolding for your benefit,his concern for you despite been buried under loads of work pressure be termed as love?
Yes it can be termed as love.
Then why can't your nature,your mother or your father be your valentine?Think about it?
