Bring on Love-izza with extra Cheese(iness)!

The month of February has finally disembarked upon us and suddenly the expression of love has become a market from various cafes giving discounts and e-commerce website giving 'valentine deals' [Big Deal(s)!]. After all it is the month of displaying your love... or rather, publicly displaying your love. The populace of couples would suddenly seem to swell and don't freak out if you find out Kama Deva himself being reincarnated in every corner of your city. The couples would soon be thronging the discos, pubs and other not-so-happening places and would be searching for appropriate places to express love without the fear of Shiv-Sainiks beating the hell out of them (Yeah, it is also the time for them to reinstate everybody's faith in Indian culture). 

The number of couple selfies might shoot up on your Facebook timeline and you might have a sudden urge cropping inside you to stab yourself with rose thorns for being single. People might also go to an extent of posting about their respective proposals (although they might not have even got a single Facebook friend's request in their entire life) or bragging about their couple-y hangout on social media websites. Some of your really mean (yeah, actually callous) friends might also ask you to fix up with someone and accompany them to the super cool couple party they are going to (they do it deliberately to make you feel inferior, trust me!). 

Once again the cheesy pick up lines like "Do you have a sunburn or are you already this hot?" might find their way into the conversations, whereas the sale of roses are bound to get doubled and quadrupled. Tequilla will be the hottest liquid of the season and the sale of contraceptives might go up by leaps and bounds (hopefully). If you are an unfortunate single, you might be turned down when you ask your friends to meet for a coffee during these days. Seven days before Valentine, a series of such (may I say) idiotic days would start and the sale of chocolates, teddy bears, roses would be higher than ever (only if hugs were chargeable :'( )

On a serious note (yes, very serious) I have nothing against Valentine's or those who celebrate it. As long as there are no wars and only love, I don't really mind. However I am a strong believer of the school of thought that love is not an ephemeral feeling for a day, a week or a month. Let it stay, grow and pass through its own share of ups and downs. Yes, it sounds boring but every day is a day of love, every day you should remind your partner how much you love them or rather respect them, for that will make them feel loved and blessed (a diamond ring or an expensive wallet on and off would also work for that matter). 

So go around, date people, help the cafes and restaurants break even, be responsible and don't be a fool, cover your tool!
