Hi!
I wanted to post something fascinating and brand new. But I am already late talking movies with my frends. Bad for all of us, I know :( I am still working on it! But I so desired to tell you about my v day and while re-reading my sent mail to Ravi and Robert, last night, I could not help but copy paste few paragraphs from the old mail here to make up for my wish to latest post my experience at the V day! So, here is it! Sincere apologies from the single lazy or busy lady! I will give my best not to repeat the same again. With all my love, here is the post! love and write in some comments ;) Hoping that you enjoyed your v days with your loves around.
Well talking about V day, it was just perfect for me. Haunted by the feeling of having been left single I woke up on 13 thinking it to be the V day. With a big heavy heart and sighs, past memoirs, I was protecting myself indoors, wishing all frends V day and just then as I switched on the TV to view Love Express (V day special movies due on star movies) I realise there are no love movies and then I woke up to the 13th Feb :) silly me!
Well on v day! A small political strife accross India by a generous group of pepl that believe V day aint their indian culture came up with threats for lovers all around India mostly in my states and in Bangalore. The Ram sena (a rising political group basically full of religious fanatics) warned to marry all loving couples the moment they are caught aside each other. Here a sorta curfew was in run. Police guarded gift shops and restaurants, parks fearing chaos from another similar group called the Bajrang Dal here in Orissa.
Unlike my prediction today was very comfortable. Because of the threats & violent activities from Bajrang Dal, the streets and lanes of Bhubaneswar were empty, excepting those few single or married men and women that drove to their work including me. The young merry making lovers were nowhere to be seen. What pity and sadness! I might not have been engaged or have ever had a boy friend all these years, willingly spending all my V days alone, but it always pleased my heart to watch the young lovers meet and smile under the sun with handful of gifts. Today it was another plain empty day like every other day. In a way it gave me some security though, an opportunity to survive through the day (Looking at the couple might have embarrassed me thinking how I have been sigled out in this whole merry making lovers world)
It was second saturday for mom and so she stayed at home preparing a heavy breakfast for me as always, too much of sugary love wanting to patch up the week’s sour times. I left for Jayadev but there were no classes. I stayed back for sometimes and while I had other plans, Jayanti called me up! She wanted to buy a gift for her beloved friend. I gladly agreed and we went to several stores and showrooms and finally she got her watch and I got one gold coated wrist watch for mom too, which I gifted her for valentines day. I believe though, she might have appreciated it more had it been gifted by my brother. Late afternoon, I and my frend ate out at a nice restaurant. Early evening I spent in watching some wonderful romantic and comedy movies on star movies and meanwhile I gave mom her gift and we enjoyed sweets togather that I specially bought for her. She was smiling. I am happy :)
Life goes much beyond the forbidden sweetest fruit love. Man and wife have to work hard, think more with their minds rather than being decisive from the heart, be more emotionally and morally stronger so that they can be good morale for their kids too and world in the end. Be strong and wishing you love happinessa and fulfillment in life. love Dharitri
