Valentine's Day-A retrospective

Note: Written for last years valentine day.

The most hyped about holiday, where $$$ or INR or any other currency gets wasted to show your significant other how special they are. Why, what were you doing on the other days, moron, drinking with buddies or busy chatting with girlfriends when your significant other wanted to do some cootchycooing. We never do anything special on this day- why should there be a time set to express affection?

V-day-An introspection

Would a candlelight dinner in a classy restuarant suffice?
Or a bunch of roses and a box from Godiva chocolatier entice?
Maybe a Hallmark card or a diamond solitaire can do the trick?
Oh you sure have innumerable choices from which to pick!!

Why do you need just a day to show your love to dear ones?
Are you too busy sitting in that corner office making millions?
Are you a jetsetter, who has to even prioritize your own kin?
Are you too short of time amongst deadlines- stretched too thin?

When you have that free time ,see things around you and introspect
Shut your laptop or magazine and think if this is even worth it
Would you spend time with the spouse or that cute child of yours?
Would you just spend some time with them by shutting the world's doors?

So my dear friend,stop and take time to smell the roses and lillies
Take time to enjoy the moment that you spent with friends and family
When you are gone , your kith and kin should like what you accomplished
Your lonely obituary shouldn't read "That person had a great corner office"

This went in my blog today after seeing all my jetsetting friends spending their entire life in offices and planes and hotels.
Happy V Day
Enjoy
