Valentine's day ... the heart wants drama !!!

...It was the 14th of February that I was sitting on the couch wearing a red dress, waiting for my date impatiently. The door bell rang, there he stood with the most beautiful smile, he looked deep inside my eyes and asked me for my hand to escort me to the Merc that was parked right outside my door. The interiors of the car at once made me feel cozy and comfortable. The conversation was flowing as beautifully as the champagne that I didnt even realise that we had reached the venue of my much-awaited surprise date. I got out of the car and saw the most beautiful wooden boat decorated with red heart baloons and roses. I was out of words that i could not even form coherent sentences to thank him. I kissed him on his cheek as a gesture of how much i appreciated his surprise and he said that "its only the beginning.. " to which I responded "I hope it never ends".

We were aboard and far away from the shore. It was the perfect night, cluster of stars in the sky, the deep blue ocean and the magnificient full moon gleaming in the sky. The moonlight was so bright that we had every other light in the boat switched off. I was sitting on a candle light table, with chinese food (my favorite) and wine. Our eyes were twinkling just like the stars in the sky and the romantic music in the background left us little to say. The silent smiles and eye contact were the words we used to describe our feelings. We finished our chocolate mousse and he asked me for a dance. We were in each others arms dancing and I looked up in his eyes. He was so perfect and I loved him. Our lips were magnetically moving towards each other when i heard something.......



" Wake up !! 1 2 3 4 cook-a-doodle doo, Wake up wake up look at the sunshine..1 2 3 4 cock-a-doodle doooooo " holy hell, my alarm of all the things....AAArrrgggghh .. Did my alarm always have to ring just when... hmmmm .. None-the-less I woke up with a smile on my face, it was Valentines day and I was Single or Independent like my sunshine girl says !!

Being single in Mumbai on a Valentine's day is depressing at times, I mean you see couples like everywhere, on bus stops, bikes, in a shop buying teddys, at flower shops and even the pani-puri stalls.. love is just like everywhere... !!! On top of that you have yasho chopra movies marathons and classic english movies like message in a bottle, a walk to remember.. so the single heart that I am right now I decided to stay home.

My house was empty so I was walking around like a 'bhangi' in my payjamas at 12 in the afternoon, I switched on the idiot box a.k.a love box on the V day and started watching P.S.I Love You. I was gorging on my favourite choco-chip ice-cream from Naturals (a one-kg pack) and by the time the movie ended the ice-cream tub was over. I ended up sobbing for Hillary Swank and more because I had gained more than a 1000 calories. Sitting like a coach potatoe I thought of seeing something less emotional and ended up watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S ( my favvvvvvv english series) and felt really nice thinking about all those mad times I have spent with my friends.

I am really not going to sound all 80s or ekta kapoor types but all my college valentine days flashed before my eyes. In H.S.C we all i.e around 13 of us (girls only) went to 5Spice and ended up paying only Rs.99/- each. Bon had made this yummy blackforest cake which we relished. In F.Y.BA again I was out with my sunshine girl and we had ended up gorging on chinese food yet again and then went shopping for ourselves. In S.Y.BA sunshine and me both were kinda sulking because we were in "Love" and just getting over our heart-aches. Weird as it sounds every V day I was either single or mending my broken heart.

It was already evening I prepared myself some yummy Maggie cheese noodles and watched Kuch Kuch Hota Hai for the 50th time(I guess). My phone started ringing and I heard Sunshine girl screaming on top of her voice " Wat the bloody hell does CC ( her ex-ex-bf who still irritated her, CC stands for Chipku Chipkali) think of himself ?" I asked her to chill and narrate to me the convo she had with CC. Apparently, her drunk boyfriend was calling her and asking her whose was bigger, his or the other guy she went around with. Hearing this I started laughing out so loud, I mean how come is it that my friends catch such _ _ _ _ !! He he he he

V day rocked for my rockstar as she had a good time with her Boyfriend and Cookie enjoyed her 5th anniversary so .."all waz well for them" and i was thrilled to hear that.

Finally, V day got over and I was not sitting out on my couch wearing a red dress waiting for my date but instead I was on my balcony looking at the stars high above praying to God for my true love to come soon in my life. I think I am now ready for him to enter my life and I know that I already love him so much …….
