Thoughts on Valentine's Day ....

I have never ever vented out my feelings on V-day through a blog before.


Many of us are single - and feel bad about it - for some reason or other. Things perhaps tend to become worse on some specific days (like Valentines Day, Rose Day etc etc) when all you can see around are couples, hearts, roses and what not....


I am turning 29 this June, and have spent all 29 V-Days of my life all alone - usually working/studying if it is a working day, else all on my own when it is a weekend. This year too - I know that all that I will be doing on 14 February 2011 (a Monday) is - working on my computers in my closed door cabin, and will probably work till late hours so as to avoid every possible chance of seeing all that red/pink irritating stuff. I will also try to keep myself as busy as possible so as to avoid discussing about V-Day with any of my colleagues. I will go for lunch/snacks all alone, just the way I usually do.


But, even if you are single, just remember that you are not alone !! There are millions like us. I wish this thought gives some solace to all single people who listen to the song below. It may bring back some nostalgic memories, some old wounds may re-open up, some forgotten aspects of your life may light up again; but despite all that it will give you a sense of inner peace/tranquility; and will help you in becoming stronger in the battle against your luck.


While working, I need headphones plugged onto my head with some music playing in the background. And, I know that this is the song which I will be listening continuously in an infinite loop, on Monday Feb 14, 2011.


Close your eyes, and just listen ....
