    Baap re Mindi.. you've given me tension.. all through my lunch with my "girl" friend I kept thinking of all the answers I need to give.. I've not got this tensed to write exams also... and as soon as i returned i see cheeniya has posted in his usual opulent style.. and all my "preparedness" has gone for a toss... so now I'm just going to write whatever comes to my mind...
    so lets start

    1)Romance to me is.........
    sharing the same space/ doing your own thing and yet being aware of the other

    2)Love to me is......

    being there for eachother

    3)My ideal venue for a romantic date would be...........

    mountains.. forests.. with nature and wildlife

    4)The meal that I would choose for a romantic evening would be....
    barbeque

    5)My favourite romantic song is.....

    too many infact all the ones listed by others included

    6) what I think is most symbolic of romance....

    never gave it a thought... flowers???

    7) My idea of a perfect Vday gift...

    flowers???.. diamonds are always welcome but knowing my hubby he will probably say get yourself the gift to avoid friction!!!
    8)My favourite Love story is...

    all the mushy fairy tales.. love story..even fountainhead strong headed couple..too cynical???

    9)A message to my Valentine would be....

    i love you.. the obivious

    10) today IF I were to celebrate V day I would.....

    son has prelims... cook food.. sit on the balcony.. look at the sky.. and do what he likes to do most TALK and not watch T.V

    well I guess.. thats it.. PHEW!!!! now I can get back to work.. HAHAHHA

    Dear Kerman
    That's the most 'colourful' compliment I have received in IL in all these five years!
    I can't thank you enough for this

    dear C,

    3 – We have never gone together as a couple, except to the Marina!! Does that not make us the most romantic couple, never missing out on the famous Marina??

    Hmmm I bet there are people in the marina beach watching out for that most romantic couple who never miss their everyday walk :)

    4 – Curd rice with uppu narthangai for him & a spicy pickle for me.

    THats it??? from the kitchen queen? and I bet many of the ilites were searching for exotic dishes in your forum to mark the special day,yesterday

    I do make a simple dessert for him very often because he walks straight to the refrigerator after washing his hands. He knows, atleast a home made ice cream will be waiting for him there.

    :) thats so sweet..Seee ,for me thats unspoken romance.

    5 – To remind him of God’s blessings, I regularly hum
    Manaivi amaivathellam….


    LOL.I can imagine you humming that naughtily..

    10 - t is V day everyday – we have not got bored with the monotony of our lives!![/QUOTE]

    Good for you. I wish it always remains so :cheers

    hey shan,

    of course we know each other quite well by now, my dear buddy :) you HAD to come here hahahh

    .wow, such a sweet memory..i thought the kids forgot, but they remember..

    Yes isn't life all about such happy moments from our daily life??? no wonder they never forget these.


    Age?? what is that.. now why did you bring that here.. romantics do not age..

    arrey ? if I had meant that i wouldn't be writing here , year after year on the same topic now, would I? I meant even perspectives about love and romance change with age so we will have different answers from diff age groups.:)

    2)Love to me is......
    Looking beyond the flaws and imperfection in the same direction. being the strength, the courage of the person you love..


    lovely and something to be understood by everyone.:thumbsup


    4)The meal that I would choose for a romantic evening would be....
    Piping hot rice, dal, brinjal curry, curd rice with mango pickle.


    so now I know what V gets to eat at least the first day he lands..:)

    5)My favourite romantic song is.....

    i have a long list..but for some other time.


    ha !!! don't I know that by now ???


    7) My idea of a perfect Vday gift...

    A personalised scribbling something similar to this one.
    Celebration of Love- you made it happen. - Blogs - IndusLadies


    that was :thumbsup

    9)A message to my Valentine would be....
    ------------------ he will understand what those --- means without my writing everything...and let the spirit of love embrace everyone in our path.


    Hmmm hope HE understood..anyway you did NOT want us to understand... LOL
    10) today IF I were to celebrate V day I would.....

    stay at home. simple lunch/dinner.
    a nice chicklit..with a hot cup of freshly brewed coffee, me sitting on the floor with him on the sofa...hmm only he is xxx kms away...:rant
