Valentines Day

This day has somehow come to hold some kind of importance in all our lives. Single? Though you end up telling everyone or rather trying to convince yourself 'well ok I dont need anyone to celebrate V Day. I am happier being single and all that jazz... some part of you still craves for the attention that you may possibly get in having the person of your life with you. You may try to ignore the fact that you are alone and try to find joy in maybe going out with someone else you love may be your friend, your mom or any of your family members.

I had a great day today with a lot of trainings to attend at work and my other half in some other work related training at Kakatiya Hotel. So the whole idea of meeting up was a big question mark. I was not sure if we would be able to meet in the first place! Thanks to his neck sprain and hectic work schedule. In my case, even though I have been in training the whole of this week and will be the next week too, I was pretty sure I would be able to meet him. But you anyways need your other half to be enthu as well about the whole thing. So having said all this, he was not at work the whole day but had promised to meet me sometime in the eve over coffee or something. I was all excited about this and got dressed up after a very long time, wore the new salwar that he had given me a little earlier. :)

I reached office in the morning and with the feeling of 'Huh! Its Valentines Day, so what?' kinda feeling. Once in I could see red heart shaped baloons everywhere. On top of it in the middle of my training when I had come out for a break, I could see girl rushing to the reception to collect their bouquets and teddy bears sent by their loved ones. I was talking to a friend of mine who did not understand the concept of V day at all and both of us finally agreed that it was a total waste of time and money. Later in the day when I reached my desk, I see something really really cute, a bouquet, not a flower bouquet but one made of chocolates with a note written beside it saying 'To the Special One! :)' It was a weird and an amazing feeling I should agree. All the concepts about wasting money and time vanished the minute I saw this. I was really really happy and all I wanted to know was how it got there. After that, when I was again away from my desk, someone placed another gift at my desk with a note on it saying 'secret admirer'. This is when I was slightly confused... why would my other half call himself a 'secret admirer' when he doesnt even say that he has never said that he admires me in the past 2.5 years. But all this confusion got sorted the minute I saw a photo frame that I had asked him to get me a couple of days back and the one he refused to get. (so the deal is I had gone shopping with him and our best friend, Pinki. she got a picture of her husband and her printed on a tile and I told him I needed one of our like that on a tile too. He has in the meantime placed an order for the same and told me that he wouldnt get me one considering that it is a big waste of money ) Seeing that photo frame with our picture with nice wording on them, made me feel really good n all I wanted was to go meet him and give him a huge hug. I think it was a super cute thing he did for me.

He called me later in the eve and asked me to come to City Center. I went over and my poor baby was in deep pain. But just so that he could make me happy, he decided to bear the pain and took me to play air hockey and then he said we will go home as I am not keeping well. I was ok with it as he was in a bad shape. But he took me to Indijoes to have a nice dinner and then made sure he put me back in a rick back home. Wow! thats a pretty long story!

Thanks to Maria for putting the gifts on my desk and to my sweetheart for taking pains literally to make me happy! I am happy to know you are there for me! I know the pain you underwent and the effort taken to keep me happy. Though you may not have liked the tee I got you, I hope you would wear it and stop asking me for clues about february 25. You will get to know about it on the 25th. Patience pays!! :)

Thats brings us to the end of the day with me starting off on why is there a V day and why is it a big deal to ending it with 'O My God! I feel butterflies in my stomach!.' All perceptions changes with time and people who care to make a difference in your life.
