I Love You means…

Valentine’s day Consumer spending reached around $27.4 Billion.

and you want to know who is spending the most?

And the happy news is people are buying gifts for their spouses. Corporates are capitalizing on human emotions in a very efficient way in recent times. Human emotions are becoming less valuable among relationships.

I never saw my dad or mom gifting each other on Valentine’s day, or they didn’t even greet each other.

But I have noticed a few beautiful things when I grow up

My mom cooks dinner by calculating my dad’s arrival because he likes hot dinner.
My dad never forgets to buy a non-veg from my mom’s favorite restaurant the next day of her one-month fasting.
My father-in-law won’t allow anyone to talk to Mother-in-law when she has a migraine.
My mother-in-law never allowed my father-in-law to eat outside food due to his health conditions. She cooked 365 days of 4 times of meals per day.
My neighboring uncle cooked food for his wife when she suffered from a stroke.
My teacher’s husband always dropped her to school.
My aunt and uncle fight, and after a few hours, they get along as though nothing happened.
My brother-in-law never misses taking his wife for a movie every week.
My cousin teases his wife all the time and makes her cry, but he fulfilled her wishes all the time.
An old man helps cutting vegetables for his wife’s cooking, and they both enjoyed discussing politics and world affairs.

Let’s expand that to some elegant emotions I admired in today’s world.

After a wife’s daylong work and 1 hr. of commute to home, her hubby handed her over a cup of coffee.
Even though men are physically stronger than women, how much burden they will carry their whole life – his wife carried the groceries two floors.
A wife starts her day with cooking and taking care of kids before she reaches the office. Her palpitations grew stronger as the clock ticking to 5pm, to reach home sooner for kids – her husband didn’t even give a chance to the car to provide her with any trouble – he always fills the fuel for her as she drives to work.
Hubbys are earning hard for the family undergoing a lot of stress at work, a wife won’t allow anyone to take her husband for granted – she researches on investments and negotiates insurance.

What do we call all these? Day to day activities?

All are graceful gestures of love and care

Gifting materials is happiness;
it stays for a day
Caring for each other is Joy,
it remains forever

Soulmates give and take.
They fall and catch one another
They are individuals, and they are together
They are simple, and they are complex
They can be silent, and they can be loud
They may not always know the answers
They may not always make perfect decisions
But they still have each other
And that’s what is called ‘LOVE.’

The greatest gift
that you can give to others is
the gift of unconditional love and acceptance

🙂 Happy Valentine’s Day. 🙂
