A prim and proper St Valentine’s Day in Above Bar Street

Sadly somewhere along the line, the whole idea of Valentine’s Day has been lost. Others will shower their loved one in gifts trying to either demonstrate their love or avoid being put in the dog house for not making the effort. “While V-Day has always been seen as a day where singles sulk, we are glad that this year there a lot of options which are giving special offers for singles – something that’s hard to find even on a normal day”. Some people like chocolate and flowers or whatever cliches the holiday brings. They included underwear made out of confectionary, Brief Jerky Edible Meat Underwear, Naughty Bingo, risque candy Love Hearts with inscriptions such as “Let’s Screw” and “Bend Over” and, my personal favourite, the Pizza Hut ,010 Big Box Proposal – “everything you need to make your proposal perfect”.

“I like to say that everything and anything I have ever done has been in the name of love”, he said. Two people in a relationship may be quite different from each other, so chances are one is always forced to do something he/she is not okay with.

Sonam Deb, a college student in Kolkata, said: “I don’t think there should be a single day dedicated to love”.

I am your most beloved companion.

I chose you when I planned creation.

Kenli, a second-grader, was excited about Valentine’s Day because “we get to have a Valentine’s Day party and that we get to share how much we love each other”.

I’m never in doubt about the magnitude of their love. A daring kiss under the stairway, a slap in the face for being too bold and getting caught in an embrace by the history teacher (I didn’t know it was his daughter, really) were just some of the adventures and disasters of courtship Australian style during the 1970s. “We celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and Christmas, so V-Day is added trouble for a person like me, who never knows what to gift a guy!” There’s enough single-shaming every day of the year. I remain touched to this day.

Watching something that you love is sure to get the happiness flowing and make you feel good. It boosts the economy, doesn’t it? I love my readers.

Flowers: Roses are the favorites but watch out for thorns, order them fresh to avoid buying those that are truly worn out and will not last. On that day, I can sing, Jodi ek muhurter jonneo amai chao, setai sotti!

Romantic types should check out the 1995 TV mini-series of Pride & Prejudice – it’s roughly six hours long, so it’ll see you through most of the day.

I used to think that my life was ideal until I met you. For example, I know two girls who have been going out on Valentine’s Day for the past several years.

Despite the fact that there is a general and predominant opposition of celebrating the Valentine’s Day from certain quarters with a peculiar mindset, the majority of the people celebrate it with great zeal and fervour without even knowing its history and utility in our society. May this year be a reminder that His love is the truest of all, and may He fill your own heart with that love.

The day is now most closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of “Valentines”.
