COVER STORY |
It’s that time of the year again when expressions of affection and love fill the air. As we delve into the Valentine’s month, it brings along with it an imminent arrival of all things red and pink, flowers, chocolate boxes, champagne, an overdose of heart-eye emojis and the usual. Although, with a change in the times each year, people’s approach towards this day has also changed, some having a more adventurous plan for the day, like wanting to try a sport that gives them an adrenaline boost; some wanting a tranquil getaway for spiritual purposes; signing up for fun, quirky classes together; or just spending the day with people in desperate need of some love, like old age homes or orphanages or pet homes. Valentine’s Day is all about spreading love and a day when you can take your relationship and turn it into something special. If you’re not in a relationship, then spend your time with your close friends and do something special for them. After all, there is no love purer than friendship. Valentine’s Day is historically celebrated in the name of a certain mysterious patron, Saint Valentine. There are a ton of legends surrounding who he was and how this day came to be, but boy, are we glad that it somehow came into existence! We always read books and watch movies about true love and its saga, but this time we’ve rounded up a few of our favourite real life couples, their real love stories, plans for Valentine’s Day and the real success to having great camaraderie in your relationships, right here in this issue. These are warm and fuzzy stories to satisfy your heart.
