Valentine’s Day!

LATE EDITION!! This is something I had penned down on Valentine’s Day but didn’t get the chance to put it up on my blog. So, here it is:

From diabetically mushy and blatantly gooey to downright religious and patronizing! Those are the key themes I am coming across today. Hunt up a Roget’s Thesaurus for synonyms of those words and words like “self help, moving on, agony aunt etc” and you’re pretty close to all Valentine’s Day related talk I heard today.

I’m not complaining…after all…it’s nearly impossible to separate an occasion from its circumstance. And expecting that is naivety or worse…stupidity!

But the reason why I mentioned what I did was because, somehow, none of it figured into my perspective or conduct today.

Cause for alarm?? Nah! I don’t think so.

Anyway, I had myself a great day today. Chocolates, candies, flowers, poems, cards, stuffed toys….yes…it was a great day! I’m usually not a sucker for any of the above but sometimes, some things are more about the aptness and pertinence to the occasion rather than personal likes/dislikes.

Talking about aptness and drifting on to in-aptness!

My professor gave me a Valentine’s Day gift as well. A front row seat at the some crappy avionics conference where I’ll be bored to death while they talk about some open source printed circuit board design automation tool.

Yadda Yadda Yadda! Anyway, coming back to the day and topic in discussion. Rather, coming to the sentiment in discussion. Emotional bonding and security feel so healthy. Knowing that you belong to someone feels so….satisfying! Knowing that there is a person out there who loves you feels so liberating. It’s all good!

My relationship with my significant other has evolved and matured over the past 10 odd months in the most amazing way. It wasn’t love for the first few months…in fact….it wasn’t love until the last few months. Somewhere in our madness, there is a very logical and rational foundation. And that realization is so liberating (that’s the second time I used that word! Damn! I need a Thesaurus as well!)
