Perception

Valentines just passed by and on top of the discussion board with all friends were "flowers". In spite of the fact that I would have come accross numerous views with respect to this "percieved" symbol of love, yet it is so easy to reach the nutshell. For all guys,

"spending money on flowers!!! why on earth am I expected to do it!!?? and for all gals,

"only if he knew how much "they" matter to me..."

If I try to think about how many times I have receieved flowers (valentines or otherwise) without pressurizing the guy most expected to bring them...(nope, never)...though I am sure I would have behaved as if the idea whole heartedly belonged to the victim.(Ah, how much I am in love with idea of flowers representing the zenith of love and care and all those sweet , tender emotions that harbour in a feminine heart!)

Two most memorable bouquets I have received till now were both presented to me as a shield behind which the prince charming in question wanted to practically hide and say sorry. To make matters worse I knew all the time that behind the same shield he might be pulling his hair off-- why on earth I am expected to do it!!??

Never the less, the perception of romance as associated with flowers is never going to die(atleast with in me). Though I had laughed at the character of "Maya" buying flowers (and a lot of other stuff) for "herself" in "Dil To Pagal Hai"... at a closer look , idea does not seem to be that bad:)
