“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”

Happy Valentines Day

It is that time of the year when red roses and little red hearts go up in shops across the world. Each year as I walk through the streets I cannot resist getting into these brightly decked shops and admiring the cutest valentine apparel for sale. A die-hard romantic that I am, I love getting little gifts, knick knacks, cards and flowers for no special reason. To be honest, I must confess here that at times on this day, I have indulged in buying myself a cute teddy or a box of heart shaped chocolates. Just because you don't have a valentine doesn't mean you cannot have the cute stuff :)

Today I was thinking of writing a story about a lost valentine, as a valentine day writing endeavor and to put some life back into this blog. However once started, I realized sad stories shouldn't have a place on this beautiful day. The purpose of this blog was to make it's readers feel good and to this end I am simply going to put up some nice quotes on love and life.

A happy valentine's day everyone :)



I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you

A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart
Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.

True love is when you put someone on a pedestal, and they fall - but you are there to catch them.


The heart has reasons that reason does not understand.


Love is not blind - it sees more, not less. But because it sees more, it is willing to see less


Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.
To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world !!!
