a huge happy valentines day for you
The History of Valentine’s Day
Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? The history of Valentine’s Day — and its patron saint — is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine’s Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.
One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men — his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.
Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured.
According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first ‘valentine’ greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl — who may have been his jailor’s daughter — who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed ‘From your Valentine,’ an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It’s no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.
Colour Consciousness for Valentine’s Day
Colours propel their presence in all locales and objects that we encounter in our day-to-day activities. Colours also specify certain moods and qualities. Take a glimpse at the significance of colours and use them appropriately in your Valentine’s Day attire and gifts.
Red (Already Booked).Red is the colour of energy, liveliness, love and sexual passion. That is why red roses, red attires and gifts wrapped in red play a dominant role on Valentine’s Day. Red communicates your passion towards your beloved or towards love itself. Maroon and brick red symbolize fun and love.
Pink/Rose (I am Freeeeeeeeeeee) Pink is an expression of freshness, love, affection, understanding and sweetness. Pink can be the ideal choice for Valentine’s Day and will subtly help bring to surface the love for your partner. It can also add more love into your lives.
Orange (Waiting)
Orange is the colour of energy, creativity and practicality. It also denotes happiness and can pep up your moods when your spirits are low.
Orange is the colour of energy, creativity and practicality. It also denotes happiness and can pep up your moods when your spirits are low.
Yellow (Ready for a friendship) Yellow signifies inspiration, spontaneity, communication and novelty. This colour’s liveliness and vitality encourage conversation. So communicate your feelings for your loved one near a soft yellow flamed candle. A Yellow dress for a woman will do well on Valentine’s Day.
Blue (Going 2 Propose) Light blue symbolizes creativity, perceptivity and sensitivity. It also ushers a peaceful and a calm scenario and so is effective to smoothen or balance your emotions. Freshness is one of its properties and is suggested if you prefer a more steady and paced approach to your feelings. Dark blue signifies intelligence, self-reliance and deep feelings. A combination of blue and green can promote self-expression. Dark blue can be an ideal colour for a man for Valentine’s Day outfit.
Green (Accepted Proposal) Green suggests humanism, benevolence, observance and caution. Though a bit cautious in every approach in life and relationships, it induces understanding which is one of the most important requirements in one’s relationship. Dark green shirt for a man and lighter shades of green for women’s outfit will make good Valentine’s Day attires.
Purple(Not interested)Purple denotes intuition. Intuitions play a major role in romance. This in turn can induce passion. Grapes are always oriented with love and wine is always a chosen gift for the loved one during Valentine’s Day. Purple is purely feminine and a light purple or a mauve outfit for a woman will generate cuteness on Valentine’s Day.
White (Leave me alone) White is a colour of purity, optimism and innocence. It consists of all the colours in the spectrum. White roses given to your beloved can mean ‘ You are celestial’ or ‘our love is pure’. They can be employed denoting the impeccable love that has stood the test of time and trials. Both men and women can choose a white outfit for the Valentine’s Day.
Grey (Broke up)Grey denotes good judgment capabilities and also non-involvement. So it may not be the right colour to be chosen for Valentine’s Day dress or a setting. Though a beautiful shade on its own, it does not bring in the freshness desired for Valentine’s Day when worn by a woman. However a grey outfit for man can look fine.
Black / Brown (Proposal rejected)Black and Brown can both be incorporated in a man’s Valentine’s Day attire individually. Black denotes independence, authority and boldness while brown stands for honesty and a down to earth attitude towards life. Women can opt for more feminine and pastel shades for Valentine’s Day.
So choose your outfits and gifts with the appropriate colours on this Valentine’s Day!!!!
Hope you are in right dress code so that nobody is misguided.

Valentine’s Day : Importance Of Color Of Rose
The rose called the flower of love is one of the most popular and oldest flowers known to man. The word rose has come from the Latin word rosa meaning red and has been a symbol of love since ancient times. Nebuchadnezzar used roses to adorn his palace; Persian used roses for perfume oil and to fill the Sultan’s mattress. And in Kashmir, the Mughal emperors cultured rose gardens and rivers were strewn with rose petals to welcome them on their return from wars.
The rose was created by Chloris, the Greek goddess of flowers. One day she found a lifeless body of a nymph in the woods. She asked for the help of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who gave her beauty; Dionysus, the god of wine, bestowed nectar to give her a sweet scent, and the three Graces gave her charm, brightness and joy. Then the West Wind, Zephyr blew the clouds away and the Sun god Apollo shone upon her, making the Rose bloom.
Rose is the most prevalent flower that is given on Valentine’s Day or by lovers in general. This beautiful and majestic flower speaks of many eternal love stories. Known for its sensuous scent and delicate petals, Rose brings out all the colors of a relationship.
But roses come in many colors and each of these roses has a separate meaning. So this Valentine before selecting a valentine rose for your sweetheart know what that color rose stands for. Let the magical rose speak the expressions of your heart for you. Here are the different colored roses with their meanings.
Red Rose
Red roses glorify “I love you.” They are the ultimate symbol of love filled with romance and passion. So if on this Valentine you wish to say “I Love You” to someone or want to propose to your sweetheart, then red valentine roses are just for you.
Pale Pink Rose
Pale pink roses signify grace, gentleness, and gratitude. You can give them to your sweetheart and to a person whom you respect a lot.
Light Pink Rose
Light pink roses express fun, happiness and joy. Share this pink Valentine rose with your friends and family.

Deep pink roses say “Thank you.” Show your gratitude and warmth with deep pink valentine roses.
Lilac Rose
This rose is for love at first sight. The rose indicates that the sender has fallen head over heels in love with you and is just crazy about you.
Valentine’s Day : History of Valentine Day
Valentine’s Day celebration dates back to the ancient times when the ‘Feast of Lupercal’ was celebrated in the honour of the Roman God of Fertility. This day falls on the 15th of February every year. According to a time worn custom, on the eve of Lupercalia (14th of Feb) a ritual of ‘name drawing’ was followed, during which a young man drew the name of a girl from the lot, who was to be his sweetheart for the whole year. Romance, has, of course always made the world go round but we must say that these Romans knew how to make it official. Since then, this day (14th of Feb) has been considered as the day of Cupid, the mischievous son of Venus -the Roman Goddess of Love. Lovers through the ages have taken this day as their own - a day to celebrate the finest human emotion. The reason for celebration is ageless, but it was much later that a great lover gave the day his name.
All For Love
The eternal lover that gave us the famous word ‘Valentine’ and originated the tradition of writing love letters on this day, is believed to be Bishop Valentine. He was a priest in Rome when, the city was ruled by ‘Claudius the Cruel’. Inspite of the fact that Claudius had forbidden Christian conversions and Christian marriages, the Bishop refused to surrender to Roman Gods and carried on his religious duties in secret. He was imprisoned for disobedience, but even in prison he converted the convicts. While he was in prison, the jailer’s daughter became his friend and was loyal to him through his ordeal. When Claudius came to know that imprisonment had not broken his enduring Christian spirit, the bishop was executed. However, on the day of his death Valentine wrote a note to his friend, ‘the jailer’s daughter’ and signed it - ‘From Your Valentine’. This great man who died for his beliefs, for his enduring love of the Christian God, was chosen as the patron Saint of lovers. 14th February has since been celebrated as Valentine’s Day. Romantic souls all over the world have preferred to focus on the romantic twist of this tale, the story of the man who united lovers in the holy bond of marriage; a man who loved his jailer’s daughter and started the tradition of writing love notes.
Back To Nature
There is indeed, no lack of inspiration for believers in love and romance. Romantic significance of the 14th of February crosses human boundaries and enters the heart of nature - it was a popular belief in the olden times that the birds chose their mates on this day.

Take my hand and lead the way;
tell me all you want to say.
Whisper softly in my ear,
all those things I want to hear.
Kiss my lips and touch my skin;
bring out passions deep within.
Pull me close and hold me near;
take away my pain and fear.
In the darkness of the night,
be my beacon, shine your light.
In the brightness of the sun,
show me that you are the one.
Give me wings so I can fly;
for I can soar when you’re nearby.
Enter my heart, break down the wall,
it’s time for me to watch it fall.
I’ve been a prisoner, can’t you see?
Break my chains and set me free.
Strip me of my armor tight;
you’ll find I won’t put up a fight.
Release my soul held deep within . . .
I’m ready now, let love begin.
tell me all you want to say.
Whisper softly in my ear,
all those things I want to hear.
Kiss my lips and touch my skin;
bring out passions deep within.
Pull me close and hold me near;
take away my pain and fear.
In the darkness of the night,
be my beacon, shine your light.
In the brightness of the sun,
show me that you are the one.
Give me wings so I can fly;
for I can soar when you’re nearby.
Enter my heart, break down the wall,
it’s time for me to watch it fall.
I’ve been a prisoner, can’t you see?
Break my chains and set me free.
Strip me of my armor tight;
you’ll find I won’t put up a fight.
Release my soul held deep within . . .
I’m ready now, let love begin.

Valentine Day : Shades of love
“Love in the heart was not meant there to stay. Love is not love till you give it away”. For love to be ever lasting and eternal every one should be aware of the different stages of love and know its significance. Following are the different phases through which you will travel in your love life and only those who pass it will have an endless love.
ATTRACTIONAttraction can be defined as something, which is more than friendship and is a step towards getting ready for a relationship. Now attraction is of two types:
a. Physical Attraction - happens when your body reacts to another person. Heart rate increases; temperature rises, palms get sweaty; stomach flutters; throat tightens; etc. This is what will tell you that you are ready for the first contact and also whether you are comfortable in the company of the other person.b. Emotional Attraction - develops next if the circumstances are right. After being drawn to a person physically, you then begin to come closer. If you find you have things in common — hobbies, ideologies, career, education, or some other common ground — then an emotional attraction starts to form. Sometimes an emotional attraction can occur even when a physical attraction does not. And in this case, the bond will be stronger between the two who connect, since no preconceived notions based on physical appearance has occurred.
INTIMACYIntimacy is something, which a person experiences when you learn to trust and believe your lover. It is a close association with another person of the deepest nature. You share you thoughts, feelings, and dreams. You feel free to discuss everything with this person and you are absolutely comfortable in his company. Thus intimacy develops gradually. If you can’t establish intimacy with your partner, your relationship may work for a while, but is unlikely to endure throughout the years. Intimacy is actually the path to a true, healthy and beautiful relationship.
ROMANCERomance is the essence of a relationship. Without romance your love life will not exist. Romance is the true identity of your love. It brings out your true self and helps you be a better lover, husband and partner. Romance is a celebration of the life you live as part of a couple. It springs naturally and originates from within your heart. It makes you do things that you possibly couldn’t have imagined to do otherwise. It shows you who you are and reminds you of the role you play in a relationship. Romance is not responsibility but it is caring about your responsibilities towards your lover and partner. Romance is the appreciation of two people who are celebrating the lucky coincidence that they found each other.
PASSIONThe third stage is passion, which basically means a desire for another person, which has grown to an intensity that can’t be ignored. This is often where an emotional relationship turns into a physical relationship. The passion stage is very important. For from here you will understand the true meaning and nature of your relationship. If there is no passion then its best to let go but if there is passion in your relationship then it is time to go on to the next stage.
COMMITMENTThe last stage is commitment. This is when you know that you want to spend your whole life with this person you love and you can do anything for him. It is when your whole world just revolves round your lover and you take a pledge to remain true to your mate throughout good and bad times, be by his side whenever he needs you.
