9 Fun Ways To Celebrate V-Day

#ValentineDay  #RandomThoughts

Valentine's Day - the international love day. Although the western side of the world has been celebrating it for decades, it is now also gaining popularity in India. I still remember the days from my college when it was so frowned upon that the mere mention of it will cause chaos in your life but now everyone wishes it and celebrates it.

People usually plan and discuss what to do on V-Day and a lot of us are usually lost at the thought. Being romantic is so much more than candle light dinners that everyone suggest, It should be known that romance can be born right out of a single touch or spending time together. Below are some fun things that can be done on this special day - especially when it on a weekend.

1. Take a long drive: Just the two of you. Being with nature, free from all worries and in company of your loved one can do so much more to your relation than anything else. Long drives to serene places can lift up your spirits and strengthen your relations
2. Dance away: Dancing on your favourite tunes - not necessarily in a disco or a bar - can make your day. Put on your favourite songs on TV or music player and dance away with your beloved. The laughter and free spirit will make your day
3. Shop your heart: Shopping is the easiest (but not the cheapest) way to make you happy. Instead of buying some gifts in advance, go on a shopping spree together and buy what your partner's heart desire. Nothing good than making your partner happy
4. Perform on karaoke: Sing your heart in public and make your partner's day. Many people dedicate songs but the smile that 'you singing' will bring on your partner's face will be incredible - this of course when you are not a terrible and nerve damaging kind of singer
5. Watch movies or favourite shows: Get cosy on your sofa and put on your favourite movie or show - preferably that brings back some very special memories
6. Go Exotic - Cook at home: Cook your favourite meals at home 'together'. Unless you or your partner are a cranky cook, cooking meals together can be real fun. Do something exotic which you have never done before and bring back the charm of good food and laughter
7. Do something naughty: Remember the naughtiest thing you have done together and take it a step ahead. Things like paint together and each other, eat together and off each other and etc. Think about them - can be fun
8. Romantic getaway: Plan a romantic getaway to a place of your dreams. Nothing better than taking a small trip away from all problems and daily drama. If this is not perfect - nothing can be
9. Be adventurous: Do something adventurous, go on hot balloon ride, scuba diving, horse-back riding, rock climbing etc. Whatever suits you and brings you together

Above were the few suggestions from my end. If you any more, please do share.

Poem - My Love

#MyPoems  #MyLove

Since the day I met you, my life is a bliss

With you even a moment, I don't wanna miss

You complete me my love, you are my life, my shadow

With you every moment is the serenity of the meadow

Don't ever leave me, for without you I am none

My life will be dark, as a land without Sun

Oh my Love, how I wish we could be in each other arms

For eternity and be blessed forever in love's charm

But it's destiny that one day we will be apart

Thus I pray you live on my love, and it's me who is first to depart...

For I can't imagine a life of singularity, I cannot fathom alone

Without you it will be meaningless life, a life without any tone...

Poem - Hey Mom, I just wanna say...

A mother's love is the bliss of life

Evermore you may get, but it will never suffice

It's you who is thunder, the spark of her life

She made you a flower, but also a knife

Hey Mom, I just wanna say

Thank you for making me this way

Your love, your blessings is all I want

For it's our bond, I'll always flaunt

It's you, with whom a mother shares her soul

Without you, she is never again so whole

Day-in day-out she takes care of you

Your toys, your books are now her crew

Hey Mom, I just wanna say

Thank you for keeping me in your heart this way

I may not be perfect for world's attire

But in your eyes, I shall never retire

A mother's 'yes' is always your choice

It's your smile that makes her rejoice

Even if she ever tells you 'No'

Its for your best, your heart should know

Hey Mom, I just wanna say

Thank you for preserving me everyday

For I was silly and never understood

The devils that ensnared my childhood

It's your mom, you should always cherish

For it's her love, that shall never perish

Its her heart that reflects your dreams

Even if her own are muffled in screams

Hey Mom, I just wanna say

Simply thinking of you makes my day

But hey please, live up your dreams and smile

For seeing you happy, is what makes my life worthwhile

Cherish her, hold her, love her while you can

For once she is gone, you would do nothing but plan

Soon it would be your chance to give it in return

For you'll be a parent soon and it will be your child's turn

It's her soul with them you'll share

Now it's your turn to show a mother's care

But hey Mom, I just wanna say

Thank you again for making me way

It's your love, that I cherish everyday

For if it were not for you, I would be nothing

I owe you my life and more and everything...

Poem - Holding Hands...

Holding hands gave me life

Since the day I became your wife

You are mine and I am yours

And there is nothing that's more than sure

Holding hands give me smile

I have longed for this quite a while

Your love for me I so much adore

And I never knew life had this for me in store

Holding hands makes me whole

For it's our love that touches my soul

You always beside me is what I want

And it's our love we may always flaunt

Holding hands gives me comfort

You always smile is forever my effort

Your passion, affection is what I desire

And it's our love that the world admire

Holding hands makes me secure

Its with you I am getting mature

You always protect me for I am sometimes so fool

And it's your love that even make it sound so cool

Holding hands give me calm

To all my troubles it acts as a balm

For it's your voice that gives me console

And piece by piece it makes me whole

Holding hands has given me a perspective

In my heart I will hold you as captive

You may wonder will my love suffice

But should you know, I would love you eternal, even after my demise
