O.K, It's Valentines' day. So?

No I do not have anything against the spirit of the DAY, one day (week would be better), where we set aside the time for our (that) ONE person, and neither do I oppose anything that's remotely fun. At this mechanical age, of course we need to tune ourselves to remind us that there is more to life. And life's joy is better when shared especially with .. well THE ONE.

No I do not have any dark memories, any poignant tales, or a scar that opens up every valentines'. In fact, few of them have been exceptionally memorable, an odyssey if you will. But, as I try to look back to the years, I remember Valentine's was hardly a "circus" that it is now. It was truly a 'thing' between two people. It's another thing that if I go further back, we had not even heard of anything called Valentines' day :).

We hear so much about Valentines' day. 'Any plans?' "What are you getting for HER/Him?" And the next day, "so how was it?" We went to this place and it was blah blah blah...give me a break. I overheard one of my very beautiful female colleague ;), asking another (guy), "aren't you off today? He went, "Why? Why should I be?..What?" :). Then there were (quite) gushing between two colleagues. Apparently one had got something related to the family of diamond or its siblings. And yes, they were FEMALE(s). And no, they were not loud. (As if). Those awwwwwwwwww's and o0o0o0oo's. Darn. I gave them the most radiant smile I had :).

As I rushed to work this morning, worried, frustrated for being late (I left her a message) for the 'touch base' meeting with my boss, guess what did I learn after coming to work. SHE is not feeling well :), & most probably she would be off today. Hehehe. A valentine fever perhaps. And there I was, worried that I am late for our so (un)important meeting.

Valentines' day is nothing more than a commercialization & is one of the foster children of the capitalist world. It is overstated, over blown and nothing more than mere hype by the commercial industry, to extract every last penny they can, from our hard earned money. And we are like that fish in the abyss, where we can only escape for so long & we all shall be 'caught', eventually. After all, the spaces are scarce, if at all.

Would someone please tell me if this day actually help sustain the life of a relationship, or does it in any way makes (already) beautiful relationship more bewitching, or for that matter, mend the relationships already on the rocks? No, really?

Isn't today's relationships more like, "I love you, but I'm not in love with you" kind? The hype for this DAY is anything but, grotesque at best.

Like one Spanish philosopher said, "We fall in love when our imagination projects nonexistent perfection upon another person. One day, the fantasy evaporates and with it, love dies." Or does it? I leave that for you to decide. But it makes one think for a while. Doesn't it?

Frankly, I do not see any reason for this day to be hyped about. It's nothing more than propaganda. Sooner we realize that, better it is. Needless to say that if there are any winners, or for that matter anyone who actually benefits from this great day, are those who has commercial interest in it. But then again, who doesn't? After all there are 'sales' almost everywhere. ;). There in lies an irony:).

And with it Valentines' day is here to stay.

Happy Valentines' Day. :)

P.S: It doesn't reflect the view of the writer :), and neither does it imply that writer resents the 'subject'. It was mere avalanche of random thoughts in oblivion.

Nepali FAT Joe says "LEAN BACK"

Dreams, what did you find out? Care to share? If it's too vague for sajha, we can arrange alternatives. I am definitely interested in those. I do have a sound basis to understand the facets of those. Take my word for it. LLP, IMO, is perhaps the best possible option.

I know what you mean regarding advices. That's what happens when one has too many alternatives to counsel with. I feel ya!

Okay tuxs are out. How about a pressed casual dark shirt with a casual khaki? I shall throw in my sensual secret mildly intoxicating magic potion, just for the aura. But hey, I do not want to be underdressed. Just right for the frustrating evening :p

Holla @ me with those infos.

its gone!

One of my favorite threads back again!! Though I realized it one day late. Well this year was somewhat different although the same from last valentine. The main difference is I found out how "emotional and teary" I am thanks to the originator of this thread. Indi are you still in an illusion about being single or have you finally admitted in public that you are head over heels over my Ruina sis? knowing you.. you prolly flattered her with your words and she became so mesmerized that the absence of a gift and card was not even noticed :P. Anyway me the same since last year.. standing at the same spot at wrok and commenting on the same thread! Isn't that pathetic??

Indi, dhanna dhanna break up bhako, still pending----- NEXT!! Anonymous!! You're back!! heeeee hheeeeeee :D :D

Danonymous bro, darn! It got deleted? I know I can trust you with another M-16 assault from your keyboard. I'll certainly look forward to it ;)

Yeah, whateva was nice to me, was she not? At times she realizes that she actually lops me no end, so the stronger the feeling goes, the meaner she gets :p.

So you have been struggling to show some positive side in me? LOL. I wonder since when I entered in the negative side of things. On the contrary, from what I've heard, it was to be fine and dandy. :).

I can assure you that I do appreciate you reading and throwing in innuendos with frivolity. I feel beers are all fart no shit danny bro; I am all for "diljale daru" aka, hard liquor. But I am not an alcoholic; am rather a social drinker. :p If you have not gone wasted even once, it's about time. Go get em Tiger;)
Or rather Jadiya :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lady, my oh my! Carry a scalpel and rip open my brain for I failed to grasp the gist on your message. :p Okay okay miss Cleo hehe, buje :D. Aba bujya jasto lagyo k bhannu.

Kura gare kurai ko dukha cha, lekhe lekhai kai dukha cha herana. But haven't heard single wow, k ko sochnu. Ear ko ear? Now consider it as charity and bless this sajhaland with thy khitkas haru sittai ma pani. :D Khitka boleto, hasda aucha ni awaj, tyasto k. ;)

I learned to play dumb eventually, but while playing dumb I would become one, I really had not imagined. :p

Last I checked; my mind is on vacation between mountain and valleys. Guess where that is. ;)

Why pathetic Rythm? I think it's wonderful to see you posting. :D

Now do I see some gritting and tightened jaws? :p Common those "teary and emotional" was for your story, not you. You - "teary and emotional?" Hah!

May god take away all your tears and hand it to the hundreds of thousands of Nepalese who simply have exhausted all theirs and all your emotions to Prachandas, politicians and Gyane so that they can be human again. :)

Tyasari ghuppa basera ta thuskina bhayena ni maiya :p.
You see my face? -------------------------------------------> :(

Rythm, we had a long discussion with regards to the celebration and significance of this day hai last year. It was fooonneyyyyyyy. ;)

Am I under illusion re? LOL. Hmmmm. . .
Like our sweet kittu would say,
"Wat wat. . .?
popping like popcorn or jamming like a Jamaican" ;)

P.S: risako bela ta Indi "JYU" nai chaina . LOL :p. I used to feel so thula bada then... hahahaha.

DcG, Your relationship is like a rubber? Only bends, does not break ho?:p

Mine is like air, can onlybe felt; not be seen. Hahahaha. Bhancha ni, sirf mahesus kiya ja sakta hein, dekhdaina! :D

Now this makes a great quote.... :D

me=it

Caveat lady: That between mountains and valley was meant to be "Nepal".

Nepal ma gako cha bhaneko k mero deemag. Himal ra pahada ra terai chaina tya?

See why I say lekhe, lekhekai dukha :(

Phewwwwwwwwww... Kasto fasad yaar. Hahahaha

That's a quote henceforth. Don't forget to cite the source though.

Need more coffee before I put my work hat!

Jhan thari thari ko naam ma count garyo bhane ta, timi po ho sajha ko guffadi :D

Agreed,

It IS overblown, it maybe overstated Majority of the times and YES it is definately here to stay. But what isnt now a days? Marx predicted the downfall of capitalism after it reaches its peak. Will it EVER reach its peak? Commercialization of festivious occasions is precisely the mark of globalization. Emotional attachment to products by refering to them with family values in order to maximize sale is not a concept that is new to us.

So i should expect you to be a critic of every occasion out there because it undoubtably attaches commercialization with it?

Just for the fever that is taking over!!
Bringing on the old times back!!..:)
Lets have a good day everyday celebrating love every moment!!..:)
