Valentine

- Jawahar Swaminathan


You know what I am talking about. Yes the one, well at least for now. You may have one or find one soon. Never the less a Valentine is something unlike anything.

Young ladies, you may never run out of gift ideas when it comes to your boyfriend for Valentine's Day. Because, the poor guy accepts anything for a gift. In fact, he is so used to giving gifts that he is surprised to know that he is eligible to receive too. Well, the simplest and the most rewarding (to you) would be a good deodorant that would last at least as long as your date. But I bet you know the stuff that would really turn him on - toys. Not the teeny-weeny nibbler kind, but the high-tech scifi likes. A man's excitement on a new addition to his zillions of use-once-forget-for-ever gadgets.

Goodness gracias please save the lad from those leather wallets for gifts. Believe me, men don't match their wallets with their wardrobe. And to my knowledge there is no other better use for them except to carry the change to buy popcorn at the cinema and the crisp green backs to afford for the exotic cruise down the lake. Key chains, alas, more the love more bulky it gets, impregnating the pant pocket. And as though that is not enough, the jingle they make while he walks would make him look like a groupie in a man's disguise. Now I have more key chains than keys. Pens and books - I bet we all left school for good long time back. And a loving kiss with the gift is not at all a no-no in a man's world - just a reminder!

Guys, the days is yours - no doubt. It is up to you to take it or break it. Try to be on time, though it may involve more earthly things than one may ever imagine. The first rule of thumb: sport a smile. Of course you got her a present after the long arduous selection at the one-stop shop. Did you wonder if choosing your valentine was easier than choosing her a gift? Never mind. The best bet would be jewelry, not to be read as expensive jewelry. If choosing was only a teaser, delivery would be the real show. Present it reminding her how beautiful she would look on it - once in a while you can do the talking too.

Though the flowers that you arranged (to call it proudly) have drooped enough to touch the table hoping to get some water, do not forget flowers for her. If its kisses for you, then its flowers for her!

Happy Valentine's Day my friends!
