Valentines Day

ప్రేమికుల రోజు...ప్రేమ కు ఒక రోజు... పలకటానికి మధురంగా లేదు..వినటానికి కూడ గౌరవంగా లేదు. నాకు ప్రెమంటె చాలా గౌరవం. కాని ప్రస్తుతం ఆ మాట బయటకి మట్లాడటానికి ఎదోలా ఉంది. నాకు మా చెల్లంటే చాలా ప్రేమ అనటానికి నాకు మా చెల్లంటే చాల ఇష్టం అంటున్న.

When i think about whats the reason that causing me to feel like this, i get angry on the people who are getting down the respect for LOVE. I see  people who love each other on ROADS. I doubt that is that the love that they express on roads. I just oberving any of such people i understand their basical thought that they are trying to prove to themselves  that they are loving each other. They are affirming each other that they are in love with each other. I think why dop tehy try to prove themselves before others? Do they want to gain confidence? Or they wanted to prove that they are brave enough to face the world by behaving as they like against to society concerns.

I dont think anyone who are loving on roads are truley have love in them towards each other. I see that they have an ownership feeling on each other like she is mine and he is mine. I dont think its love.

One  example i want to share here, yeaterday i was returning home from shopping and stop at traffic red signal. One couple in black dress, on a bike just stopped beside my auto. The girl was looked like she almost fell upon him holding him with a bouquet of roses in hands. As i observed her, she looked like riding in clouds with dreamy eyes, very happily laughing in a consious that she had won this world. Sometime back i listened a sentence that LOVE is like a drug that amkes man a slave. It exactly showed up in her behaviour. Everyone around are looking at them. Its so embrassed for me that the auto driver was looking at them with a look that "how good it would be if he get down and catch them  both and beat them up on !!!", and a sigh came out of him and looked back to me. I tried to analyse what was in his mind to look back to me and my shopping bags.. I got two meanings like one whther I do also have a boy friend and i ahev made some shopping for valentines day. I immediately called my mother and said oh my mother i have done shopping for you. I dont know what he is feeling inside but after my call ended, he commented on the girls behavior on how now a days people(he meant girls here) are becoming as though he worried about his children how they become when they grown up.

Now I got to know why LOVE has become a word that makes people fear to spell it. One second i thought where this world is going. I hate people saying "I LOVE YOU" to each other. Is love expressed like that. Does love needs to be spoken in words? Is it a desease to have some prescribed medicine to have it on a daily dose?

I know love is the thing that stays in heart like which stays in our mother heart. It makes people respect each other. I think poeple have forgot the meaning of respect. If i ask anyone what is repect efinilty they will say its like standing  before elders. Thats it!!! No surprise, the education itself is upto that level.

I saw some (as they say themselves as lovers) fighting and scolding each other on roads. I saw many unexpected emotions expressed on roads. Its making other people having a cinema on roads free of cost.

I think poeple who say themself lovers, looking like they are in a role play of lovers. They always think they have to be like this or like that like Romeo Juliate did. Their role models are hero and heroine in films, which never teach what repect and understanding is. When i asked a question to one of my friend,  what is understandign in relationships; My friend who always used to say she has a good understanding with her boy friend, answered for my question, "understanding is the mutual agreement that she listen to him when he says and he listens to her words when she says.".

I am in shock now. So will continue on this in next post.
