I’m sure we draw reality from fiction.
Just as Jerry Seinfeld would say “Spider-man, Super-man, Batman… these are not fantasizes… these are options…
I like to remember 14Th February because 15Th February is my kid-sis birthday.A good enough reason to remember Valentines Day eh?
Coming to Valentines Day, wiki says and I quote:
“Legenda Aurea still provides no connections whatsoever with sentimental love, appropriate lore has been embroidered in modern times to portray Valentine as a priest who refused an unattested law attributed to Roman Emperor Claudius II, allegedly ordering that young men remain single.
The Emperor supposedly did this to grow his army, believing that married men did not make for good soldiers.
The priest Valentine, however, secretly performed marriage ceremonies for young men. When Claudius found out about this, he had Valentine arrested and thrown in jail. In an embellishment to The Golden Legend, on the evening before Valentine was to be executed, he wrote the first "valentine" himself, addressed to a young girl variously identified as his beloved as the jailer's daughter whom he had befriended and healed, or both.”
It was a note that read…
"From your Valentine."
And since that day we have mourned his death in the most befitting way.
Maybe it would have made more sense if it was an “Anti-Gay Day”
Besides being a vindictive-single-guy-who-is renting-it-all-out, I in my sanity consider Valentines Day to be the most UN-intellect thing, the human race can come up with.
Do you really need a card or a gift or a what ever to prove your love. Can we be dumber? And what’s with the hearts? Who even came up with this shape? It reminds me of a sticky reddish flubber. The cupid is not even romantic… No wonder Michael Jackson lost his nuts and started slobbering over kids.
So this Saturday, when couples will be off wishing, exchanging, dating, and you know what, I will be off to Yes Mister for my weekend cup of tea… Alone. Sadly I am not the ‘fairer sex dream-dude’ and nor I choose “Clear men”.
Love has always been the white dress on the wrong girl.
I love this piece. Very sensible coming from today’s young boy, I would stress on boy because ours is a man’s world. I especially liked n touched by the last sentence, “Love has always been the white dress on the wrong girl.”
ReplyDeleteUsually one love the wrong person for the wrong reasons, no wonder it is out of the window soon after marriage, it’s simply trying to live together.
Keep it up you are getting better.
LOL @ it would've been more sensible if it were anti-gay day. :P

St.Valentine is a character of History, and you ppl are trying to repeat it in wrong manners please do repeat the history as it happened.... non Sense
ReplyDeleteSt. Valentine was a character of history you ppl are trying to repeat it in wrong way, Please do repeat the history as it happened... be practical
ReplyDeleteRepeating the history as i get it, should be hand written love notes, or to die for your love? There is no mention of red roses, cards, chocolates, heart shaped gifts.
ReplyDeleteWhat is your opinion Mr.Hasnain & Taha?
@ anonymous,
ReplyDeletethen my opinion would be that you "lag behind as i do" :)
i don't disapprove of love.. i disapprove of a this 'day'.
@ mahv,
well have we ever agreed;)
why would i specific my self to just this one day to proclaim to anyone and everyone that, hey i love you ... oh and it took me a year to say that because you know 14th feb doesn't come around every day..
and yeah i got a heart-balloon too..
so non-rationale to me...
