As the cupid gets ready to strike, single souls are on the look out for connecting hearts and couples are aiming at new dreams and reviving old passions.
Some relationships are blooming, some are about to begin and some are just waiting in hope... hope of a new passion and an aroma of love around life.
Everybody wishes to fall in the river of love and take the life boat with their partner to begin the journey of eternal bliss.
Love is that sweet smile that makes your day; it is the constant chatter of Kareena in 'Jab we Met' that makes you laugh; it is Raj's fight to get Simran in 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge', it is Payal's wait in hope for Rajeev in 'Ishq Vishq'.
Love in different ways and at different situations knocks our door and we often fail to identify it.
Think of that naughty face that teased you in your school classroom and pulled your hair to make you fall.
Think of the day he sent you your favourite flowers at office to surprise you; think of the night he held you in your arms to tell the world you belong to him.
Think of the winter night she came to cover you with her blanket…
Think of his naughty act when he said he would teach you how to change gears of your car just to hold your hand...
Remember those late night booze parties with friends that made you fall in his arms and he safely dropped you back home?
It is indeed love that like a boat sails in the river of life, withstanding storms, teaching lessons and giving one of the best moments to people it comes across.
To many, love is a dream of a guy playing a guitar and singing for someone in a restaurant, receiving flowers from an unknown person, a handsome man on a bike and giving a smile while passing by... a dream of meeting a beautiful girl in a train, of kissing her and falling in love.
But love has more to it. It is not dreaming of a perfect partner but a perfect future, no matter how imperfect the partner is; Love is present in those little dreams and your partner that have the power of turning those dreams into reality.
It is in support of your partner during those tense days at home when you cry and plead with your parents to let you marry the one you love. Love is usually found in the hands of those who support you in old age. It is the care you get when you fall ill. It is present in the desperate phone calls your beloved makes to you when you don't reach home.
Love is a life you want to live in and be in. It is the intimacy that two souls crave for, a feeling of belongingness that completes you as a person.
So for all those in love and those who want to be in love, this Valentine's day don't find love to fall in it. Wait for love to find you...it surely will. And when you find it, spread it all around. Surely love will blossom to strengthen your relationship for as someone rightly said:
"Love may not make the world go round, but I must admit that it makes the ride worthwhile."
