Some things never change although we may pretend, they have!

Surprise Me

Many a times we feel like stopping this world and jumping onto some other planet. Valentine's Day is one such dreadful day because your wife or girlfriend is waiting for some surprise but as usual, you don't even remember about the day. By the way, do we really need a set date to celebrate love?

My wife believes that by doing special things on special occasions the day will remain etched in our memory forever and will make our life worth living. Also, these set dates give us a reason to pause and celebrate an occasion in our otherwise monotonous life. Whatever be her philosophy and whether I like it or not, I have no choice but to follow it. So, in my case, ever since our courtship days, I have managed to spend most of my Valentine's Days with my wife.
