Valentine’s Day Files
// February 15th, 2006 // Happy, Life, People
Since yesterday was supposedly the most appropriate day to express ones’ love, that’s what I did. I confessed my undying love for myself.
One of the earliest posts on this blog was about short stories that I read quite some time ago. One of those stories that I really liked was The Man Who Married Himself. I was quite fascinated with it. I think that it’s quite possible that I might do such a thing. Okay, may be not, but you get the point.
Our office has this tradition on Valentine’s Day where anyone can buy a rose; write the name of the person he/she wishes to send it to and put it in a box. At the end of the day, the guy and gal who get the most number of roses are crowned the “King” and “Queen” of hearts.
I ended up with 3 roses, just one less than the guy who was crowned “King”. If only I had sent a rose to myself. I let myself down.
Also, apparently, I remind girls of their younger brothers. Last year, my batch mates told me this in unison and yesterday my new teammate told me the same. I don’t think I told you all but four newbies have joined my team and I’m not the youngest in my team anymore. But even they find me to be the most immature so things aren’t all that bad.

//I confessed my undying love for myself//
Ha ha, super.
And that younger brother wala thing.Boss, can tell you that any dudette you ask out, will never say no to you.
This was told to me by one of my classmates as to how girls percieve things.
I loose one of my potential customers!
Damn NWG, or i wud have been first to comment.
@akanksha: Well, thats the beauty of loving yourself. Your lover will always forgive you for whatever wrongs you might do
So just say it now!
Of course, valentine’s day is over-hyped but so is everything nowadays.
@greensatya: I never really wanted to win but it would have been nice. This is the only place I’ve worked at so i have no other place to compare it to but yeah, its better than some other companies from what i’ve heard
@sej: Oh, so its a good thing to be thought of as a younger brother then. Given that I have three elder sisters, I’m a pro
//I loose one of my potential customers!
Sad!
And whats NWG?
@akansha
very true….its just a gimmick to boost thier sales, for TV channels to boost thier TRP’s etc.
@raj
i think my post influnced a bit
Hard luck pal hope u win next year
east of the web has some nice stories.
y wud u want to b immature?
A close second? Pretty popular, I would say
@abhinav:
//i think my post influnced a bit
Well, I had written the first part of the post yesterday morning but since I published my post only today, I can’t defend myself and say that it didnt.
@freeze: east of the web does have some nice stories. You could read them when you are bored
I dont want to be immature, I just am and that too only as far as caring about meaninless things is concerned.
@shruthi: Its more likely a case of “Andhon main kaana raja”. Last year’s winner got 16 roses.
I only got roses from the girls in my team though I am sure the guy who won got it from his teammates too.
raj…:-), i think i would give one rose to u…. just to MAKE u win..hahahahahahhahah
, going in ur co. on v’day..
well, i liked the policy
@preeti: Hey, thats so kind of you.
Now I have four roses too
you got more roses than i did–
but thats ok–
erica “colored” for the first time yesterday. she colored a v-day card for andrew. Mainly, she tried eating the crayons!
//I confessed my undying love for myself.
hehe good one
)
and congrats on being 2nd!
@becky:
//you got more roses than i did
*very happy*
Erica colored, huh? Great! Does a crayon taste good? I never tasted one!
@trupsster: Thanks n thanks
hey raj, thanks for stopping by at my site, and i enjoyed The Man Who Married Himself – that was quite a hoot!
ano
@ano anitha: Thanks for dropping by
Hope you had a very good Valentines Day
@prerona: I did. Thanks
mere ko ek baat bata, yeh
‘kali aankh matar’, kya soft ghazalen gatte hain?
@sej: No, they don’t sing ghazals. But hip-hop is fine with me. Its not that I don’t ever listen to hard rock. I like few songs of System of a Down. But I just don’t like U2.
The best love is that one that we do to our own self. I do love to myself everyday, even if I got some woman around. After that I call Julius and ask him to bring me some tasty burguers. Do you know what a tasty burguer tastes alike? I’m sure you do. It tastes like roasted cow. Uhmhum.
btw: your blog is very cool! The picture at the header is awnsome.
@zohguy_saiyajin: Hey, thanx for dropping by and for the compliments as well
