Valentines day snow! Well, the snow was just inconvenient. We also got a foot of snow this time, maybe the largest snowstorm of this winter. Romantic, was the time that I spent with my wife. We got stuck in the house, could not go anywhere. We would have gotten a day off but for this damn invention called the "Internet" through which emails can still hound you to death. And just look at Wadleigh Falls, so beautiful in fall, so desolate and barren in winter.
Some thoughts. Valentines day is a newfangled chaad, parwa in Nepal. I heard of this chaad only through the advent of FM in Kathmandu, when people in the radio (should call them RJ's(?), I happened to dissect a radio the other day, but did not find the little people inside, they must have gotten afraid and maybe hid from me). But I digress here, as I said, did not know of this chaad for a long time. And in this time of year I'd be more interested in Shivaratri than on Valentines day. Of course for obvious reasons. For those of you who do not know or think that Shivaratri is a time when you sit in devotion to the Lord Shiva, well, frankly I feel sorry for you.But anyway, I was talking about Valentines day. One fateful Valentines day, things changed for me. A lighting bolt hit. It's been five years now. It's not always been easy or fun. But for me, hey! Everyday is a Valentines Day!
For those in love out there, enjoy and cherish. For those who are looking, keep on looking, I'm sure someone is out there for you. For those who've found someone and lost, do not give up hope. And for the eternal bokas (and bokis too, if there are any), well may Lord Shiva grace you with his infinite love for your soul (you are a step from becoming a pichas, so tread lightly).
