"Love is much like a wild rose,beautiful and calm but willing to draw blood in its self defense ."
Well,it is the beautiful month of love and togetherness,it is Valentine's day . Valentine's day is not just about romance,it is more about love .I believe it is good to have a day exclusively dedicated to "Love" to remind us to just love, not only others but also ourselves and to take nothing for granted and make it a celebration -big or small - straight from the heart ...
Before my marriage,Valentine's day was more about watching people in love doing all the crazy things for each other and me ,spending time with all those people who loved me and who reminded me to love myself (Zamana bohuth bura hai,mom's dialogue (she meant ,"Khabardaar - no ishq vishq pyaar vyaar") ).
Since I was practically unromantic yet a die hard romantic by heart ,there was a voidness ..all those romantic movies aired in TV, added fuel to it ..I kept Mills and boons novels at bay,I prayed those Hallmark shops to just vanish from the face of the Earth ,I hated to pretend I hate to be in love,I hated to fake my smile, when my friend was blushing, reading the greeting card her Boy friend gifted her,I hated all those chocolates that day the most ,even rose in my garden mocked at me,even though I was never dreaming of any prince charming ...I wished someone was there to pamper me too ....
And then one fine day,at the blink of an eye I got married...and my romantic side was just unleashed ,so was my better 1/2's ...He pampered me with roses,cards,chocolates,candle light dinners etc etc ...I use to send him 50 greeting cards from 123greetingcard.com to his email id and make sure that he was thinking of me every time at work and that I love him a lot ...then baking a cake even though it didn't taste like one,blowing candles as if it was better than any of his birthday celebrations so far and a lot of crazy stupid things I did at home, to make him feel extra special ,I wanted whole world to envy us and they did...(May almighty protect us from all the evil eyes ..Amen!! :D)

Love is not just about chocolates,cards , flowers ,fancy dates,expensive gifts etc,it is beyond that; It is a journey of prosperity with tests of adversity in between ,it is all about togetherness through thick and thin,being there for each other unconditionally,trusting each other blindly,loving each other madly,holding each other truly ..............
So,this Valentine's day, I made some edible roses that will never wilt ,symbol of my love :D exclusively for my shweetheart :)..

Pyar diwana hota hai mastana hota hain,har khushee se har gam se begana hota hai..........
With Love,
