Funny Valentines Messages Youre the Bombcom Sayings

I Don't Like Childish Toys and Red Balloons, Do I Get Nothing for Valentine's Day?

February is not exactly the most pleasant month. It marks the end of winter, there are practically no holidays, and your month-old resolutions begin to falter. In addition to these, it is a pretty torturous time for all the those without a partner. You are teased, pointed at, and made to feel like a loser.

Valentine's Day ushers in love and everything red. Heart-shaped red balloons float around in the malls, and songs celebrating love are played in every corner. Cynicism takes a backseat as everybody tries to participate in their own way. Shops dole out enormous discounts, and restaurants make special arrangements. The only prerequisite that you must have to avail these, is to be in love. And to have a perceptive partner who knows what to gift you.

I, all of 24 years old, would like to believe I have both. And therefore, my joy knew no bounds as the month of February arrived. Every time my phone beeped in the last couple of days, I hurried to see the new offer I was getting. But sadly, it has been extremely disappointing so far.

For the last one month, the price of my favourite watch has been cut by half, perfume brands all over the world are luring me, and I can go to any spa at an astonishingly low rate. Life would have been great actually.

But sadly, it is not. I am using the phone I wanted, I hate being touched by strangers, and the perfume I like is staring at me as I write this. My cupboard is overflowing with clothes, and jewellery is really not my thing.

Does that mean I have no wants? Of course I do. There are tons of books I have been waiting to read for a long time now. But surprisingly, in all the "Cannot wait for Valentine's Day?" messages, no one wants my partner to surprise me with books.

Impatient and tired of waiting, we both decided to visit a mall on the weekend, hoping things would be better there. I had already given him a list of the books I want, and the camera I would not mind owning. The good thing about any special day is that people argue less, and so did he.

The mall was expectantly overcrowded. With a plan in mind, we headed straight to the store that keeps our favourite books. We could see the discount offers from afar, and we were already grinning from ear to ear.

As we entered, the ever-smiling salesman, looking at us, plopped a gigantic, creepy looking teddy bear in my partner's hand. While he tried to keep it aside, the salesman persisted. Pointing at me, he said, "Madam will love it."

But 'sir' thankfully knew better. With an uncomfortable smile, he kept the toy aside and asked about the offers on books. The smile on the salesman's face disappeared. He told us, rather grimly, that their prices have remained unchanged.

We left immediately, and went to the store that sells cameras. The salesman, this time almost taking my hand, whispered the question, "What does sir want?"

Without waiting for my response, he showed me one model after another, and tried to convince me that 'sir' will love a particular model. "It goes with his personality," he triumphantly added.

His speech was cut short by my partner. Pointing at me, he showed the salesman the actual person who is interested in buying a camera. All his enthusiasm vanished, as he tried to apologise and floundered for words. The man somehow could not show us a single camera that would go with my 'personality.' We left this store too.

By this time, I was terribly tired and quite angry. Having made up my mind to go home, I looked around to find myself alone. I could not find my partner in the crowd. I looked from one end of the mall to another, and among the sea of people, I could see the head of the creepy, smiling teddy bear. It had finally found a taker, I thought. But as it came closer, to my absolute horror, I realised it was my partner who was carrying it.

"I did not want you to go empty-handed today," he said.

I could have thrown the teddy bear on the floor, or perhaps tried to knock some sense in his head. I didn't do either. The huge teddy bear accompanied us home. It may not be the books I wanted, or a camera, but the fact that he wanted me to have something was sweet. What could the poor boy have done anyway? No one thought girls could want books or gadgets for Valentine's Day.
