Love may not make the world go round but it surely does make the ride worthwhile. Indeed, the word "love" though vague carries a deep, beautiful and profound meaning in the life of everyone. The very thought of love makes our eyes twinkle and the same love makes our heart dance endlessly.
Love can happen at anytime but expressing your love at the right time means a lot especially when love is in the air. One day or the other "I" or "you" will be the ultimate victim of Cupid’s arrow because love can take the form of anything or anyone. The cheerfulness of love is usually mind-blowing. In today’s materialistic world where money, time and speed means everything the word "love" seems to be hiding somewhere in the corner of everyone’s heart. Without love everything is very dull, dry and dead. Love provides a very profound meaning to human existence.
February 14 is not an ordinary day. Every year across the world this day is celebrated as Valentine’s day. On this day, thousands of candies, flowers, cards and gifts are exchanged between loved ones to express their love and faithfulness towards each other.
All the gift shops and galleries of Kathmandu have been decorated as a newly wed bride to attract the customers. These shops are offering every kinds of gifts and cards for people, especially teenagers, who are seen hovering at the gift shops.
Different people have different views about Valentine’s Day. Some of them think they should celebrate it and some think that they do not require a special occasion to celebrate or share their love with their partner, for them everyday is a Valentine’s Day.
As I firmly believe in love, I feel if one has respect for these four little letters ‘love’ then he/she will surely find the love of his/her life one fine day or maybe in this Valentine’s Day. And those who are already into a relationship, this day will make their relationship stronger.
People spend their entire life looking for love, wanting it, needing it and seeking it and most of the time they don’t find it.

hmm interesting thoughts there forget me not jyu. Talking about love, a friend forwarded this to me.
***
It wasn’t long ago they fell in love, or at least he thought so. He had every reason to believe that the girl liked him from the core of her heart. Happy as can be, he was never so productive and friendly in his life. Seemed like a fairy tale was actually turning into a reality. He was an ugly frog and she was a beautiful princess. Still, they fell in love, or whatever it was hoping that they will turn their dreams into reality one day and live happily ever after.
Life was progressing and each day would make it look like they don’t have to wait long to achieve their goals—goals of being together, goals of becoming what they always wanted to be and with each kiss and embrace, they would find it increasingly difficult to be living without each other. All was well and they hoped that all would end well. However, one day, the frog had to leave the Kingdom, but before he left, he promised the Princess that he will leave no effort behind to make their dreams come true. It was hard for them to say goodbye, and with a heavy heart, the frog left to some foreign land with a hope to return to the princess, his love.
When the frog was ready to return to be with his princess, an unexpected event made him stay in the foreign land for one more year. He wrote a letter to the princess and princess, whose dreams were shattered along with his, sent a reply saying that maybe its better for them to not think about each other so badly and maybe they are not meant to be together.
Amazed at the reply, the frog pleaded and begged for her love in his letters to her. The princess seemed determined. She had made her mind and she would not move an inch from her decision, no matter how much the poor frog tried to convince her that the seperation is only momentary. After a while, the frog gave up thinking that if she wants to be with someone else or alone, he should respect that decision and not interfere in her life. And the communication between them came to a total halt.
However, after a month or so of this incident, he got a letter from her saying that she now thinks that they should try to be together and maybe they are meant to be together forever and she can’t think of anyone else in her life except him. The frog was again amazed. This was such a nice surprise, he was again happy and turned back to his old self and sent a reply to her, saying that he would make every effort to be together again, sooner than later.
Things were going great. Every day brought a new excitement. There seemed no force that would separate them. This new beginning however, came to an end in about 2 months. One day, his intuition or whatever it was, told him that its about time he found out how much she loves him. Being a frog, he had the ability to read other people’s mind and tell exactly what is cooking inside their heads. However, being a frog with a pea-sized brain, he never thought it necessary to read the mind of his love. “Let me find out how much she loves me”, thinking this, he concentrated on his princess, he then created a mental picture of her.. then concentrating even harder, he managed to get into her mind. Oh God, help me..that’s all he could say after getting in her mind.. no he didn’t find love for him there, there was another prince living happily there. He couldn’t think what to do except to delete her memories of him.. and he did that. After this, his concentration broke and only he knows how he spent that night. No one had deceived him so badly.
After this incident, the frog disappeared. No one seems to know what happened to him. As for the princess, rumor has it that she is happy with the Prince and living happily in the Kingdom.

Well,well,well was a beautiful short story.i got a same sort of story .not exactly like a frog but of my own.aint gonna say now cos i can't read no-one mind.Everybody has their own definition of love like the forget-me-not or isolated freak jyu.
Anyway valentine day approaching nearer.May be someone heart has trapped on their own plan.The cards and the give-away.gift.doesn't only means valentine.Your soul is everything.you can celebrate st. valentine day just by kissing her/his lips.
These days people disappeared just like frog above.is it the same reason?nananana.human has obviously more reason than the frogs.

Be my Valentine..will you please...(kneeling down begging you for your love..dear)
While reading Shakespeare’s "A Midsummer Night’s dream" in the midwinter month of Feb my eyes run back to the line I just read. A character in the play has discovered two lovers in the woods and in the line I read again, he exclaims, "St Valentine is past ; / Begin these woodbirds but to couple now?"
Ah! It’s Valentine’s Day, Bard reminds me. Celebrated as a festival of love and affection in the West, the East hasn’t been too slow to catch up, I muse. Sliding the bookmark in, I put aside Shakespeare and try to trace the history of this romantic day when they say the birds began to choose their mates.
Often this day is associated with St Valentine who died in Rome. St. Valentine who was bishop of Interamna was martyred on this day because he helped lovers to get married to each other during the persecution of Claudius the Goth about AD 269
People in England probably celebrated Valentine’s Day as early as the 15th century. They sent greeting cards called valentines to their sweethearts, friends and members of their families. Many of these cards had romantic verses penned on them while some had humorous pictures and sayings inscribed.
The custom of sending verses on this day dates back to 1415 when the English captured a Frenchman named Charles during the Battle of Agincourt. Historians have suggested that Charles, Duke of Orleans, was put into prison in England. And on Valentine’s Day, he sent a rhymed love letter to his wife from his cell in the Tower of London.
One description of Valentine’s Day during the 1700’s tells how groups of friends wrote names of their sweethearts on scraps of paper and each man wore his valentine’s name on his sleeve. Now you see why we keep hearing of ‘ wearing his heart on his sleeves’!
More than historical significance it has in fact become a fashion statement these days to celebrate Valentine’s Day. No wonder the media literally floods one with various Valentine show-offs. Thanks to the commercialisation of the V-Day the custom of sending romantic messages has been supplemented with exchanging gifts galore. In so much of hype and clamour sometimes we forget that more important than the material gift is the touch of love, which comes along with.
You can see couples both old and young whether in their first flush of love or happily married, gifting each other red roses and chocolates on this day. But just as the honeymoon ends and the routine of real life takes over, Valentine fever too passes away and the relationship goes back to where it was before the V-Day.
Turning back to the page where I left the Bard I realise love is not just about a candlelit evening or flowers gifted on 14th of Feb. The real charm is put definitely by the reminder that you are special for someone! However, why wait to wish your beloved on this day. Along with a bunch of roses put the three little magical words, before you say, "Be My Valentine"!
WILL YOU PLEASE (R)

PP jyu, aaba kasari pattaune ta malai ni thaha chaina.. here's my suggestions..
Keti pattaune formula by Isolated Freak
OK to get the girl of your dreams, try these formulas…
1 If you go to school with her: If you happen to fall for that cute freshman or a hot senior at your school, follow these tips:
Find out what classes she is taking. Just go to the Registrar’s office and enroll yourself in that class.
Go prepared: This means, even if you don’t study for your other classes, study for this one and always be the first one to speak whenever Prof. Asks something. So that the girl knows you have some gidi in your god given deemag.
If the girl that you are in love with (or whatever it is) says something in the class, no matter how stupid it is, be the one to support it. Come on don’t worry about bad grades.. what do they, to gain something, you have to loose something.. yahi maya mahamantra, yahi satya sadhai bhari.
If the girl works on campus/off campus, visit her work place often… This will make her feel that YOU really EXIST. If you work on campus/off campus and if she visits your workplace, be super generous towards her.. for example, if you work at one of the school restaurants/cafes, get her FREE COFFEE, cookies and if she orders sandwich, add extra cheese and turkey.. If you work at the computer lab, if she comes in and prints something, don’t charge her money.. even if she asks you stupid questions such as what is internet/how do I check mail? Or how do I log on to my school account, pretend that she is hinting at some serious problems..and try your BEST to help her out..
Smile.. Its time to get your teeth whitening kit.
Send her an email once she starts knowing you. Your email should read : Dear…. I don’t know what’s that in you.. but there’s something in you that attracts me towards you. Is it your eyes, ears, nose, head, face, …… or its just the person you are.
Don’t write anything more than this.. it will be “counter-productive” at this stage.
After sending this email, DISAPPEAR.. and REAPPEAR after 2-3 days. And remember don’t brush, shave, shower or even change clothes until she gets to see your new REAL AVATAR… then go to your room, brush, shave, shower, change and astonish her by your looks. This time, be BOLD, go to her, and without any preface/prologue or foreword, tell her straight.. Can I talk to you for a second..[You should tell this in front of everyone.., cafeteria is the best place to do this” She will say yes, then.. sit together for lunch.. then, at first, apologize for the email, then tauko nihurayera tell her.. “how do I say this …OK.. can we go out for a coffee”.. if the girl says yes, then you got her.. just don’t mess things up..
If you are not a student anymore:
Yeah, those good old college days with Julie, mulie, habsi, gori now seem like history and you are having a hard time dealing with your lonliness. In your sheer desperation you have started to log on to all those “find love” sites courtesy of wonderful mails on your hotmail account, buts till haven’t found what you’ve been looking for… and suddenly, there’s a new FRESH out of COLLEGE girl in your office.. now, you know all the guys including your 50+ boss is trying to woo her, but you want to show everyone what a NEPALI is made up of..You even tell your co-workers that in 2 weeks, I will have her in my arms.. but you are yet to figure out what to do/how to go about that girl.. then,
Here’s something for you:
1.Replace all your Target, Old Navy and Wlamart clothes with that of Hecht’s, Jeccy Penny and Macy’s. Look Classy…
2.Its again time to get your teeth whitening kit (k garney saathi mutu mathi dhunga rakhera ni hasnai parcha)
3.Everytime you decide to take a break from your station/cubicle, go to her’s or hang around her’s.. try to find out what she’s working on.. and offer your “expert” or “not-so-expert” advises.if you no nothing, then just tell her a joke..remember the deal is: YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR PRESENCE FELT.
4.After 3 days of doing this, take a day off.. (remember, you now have 11 days to prove your worth)..and the fifth day, go to her cubicle, station around lunch time..thens tart talking to her. But remember, no jokes today.She will definitely ask you what happened to you yesterday (to learn about your total transformation)..Its time to capitalize on her curiousity. But before you tell her about yesterday, look at your watch and say, its almost lunch time, do you wanna go grab something to eat or if you want can I pick you something?” she will be ready to go out with you for lunch (because she is still curious to know what happned to you yesterday) ut remember .. the period between your question and her answer.. (that 15 secs) is very important.. pretend that her agreeing or not agreeing to go out with you for lunch don’t matter at all.. you can go eat with or without her,..Now, if she agrees to go out with you for lunch.. remember you have won half the battle.. if she asks you to bring her something, then you have won a quarter of the battle…90% of the time, the girl will agree to go out with you for lunch.

5.At the restaurant make a long sad story on why you had to take a day off.. the ebst story to telkl this time time around is : Maoists in Nepal abducted my dad, and all day yesterday, I was praying for his well-being.(even though you were watching Hindi FILIMS all day yesterday). khairini lai j bhane ni pattyaucha. Appear sad.. mutu mathi dhunga rakhya jasto garera hasne.. if you can’t get sad.. no how much you try, just remember the money you spent on buying clothes at Macy’s to get this girl in your arms..convert that money into Nepali currency.. you will get “INSTANT SADNESS” (if not a mild cardiac arrest).
6.Now your strategy is to make her not loose her curiousity about you and your dad. How you do this, its upto you.
7.On the eighth work day: its time to look in suitcases, bags and everywhere to see if you still have that Thamel-Made PURSE that you bought for 50 rs each or at least a nepali rangi-changi note issued by Nepal Rastra Bank. Find out a ncie occasion and present it to her..she will be thrilled to get something from Nepal, this will add more to her curiousity. Make your presence felt even more..
8.Today is thurday.. now, lunch time..go to her cubicle a little early today and look at what she’s doing.. and by this time, you should know how you can be of help with her work..so, offer her advises, don;’t cut jokes.. no personal talks.. and she will say, its lunch time, do you want to get something.. or if she doesn’t say anything, you tell her its lunch time… maybe we should go get something first..Today is the day to show your PROFESSIONALISM, so that the girl knows you have GIDI in your GOD-GIVEN – DEEMAG..
9.At around 4-5, go to her work with two cups of coffee/apple juice/tea/water whatever she prefers, and offer one to her.. she won’t say no.. then first “inquire” about her work.. then, start getting a little personal.. compliment on her efficeieny, decency and everything that you can think of.. and ask her, what is she doing tomorrow.. and before she answers tell her, “well, if you don’t think otherwise, I know this Nepali restaurant.. the food is YUMMY, we can go there tomorrow.. if you are free.. but don’t take it in other sense”.. She will agree to go out with you.. because you have already procven to her that, you are well dressed guy with brains and you are funny and you are caring (remember how sad you were when the Maoists abducted your dad)…
10.Take her out for dinner..and after that.. you know what to do…
Keti pattiyena ta?
