HAPPY VALENTINE WEEK TO YOU!


💖 ପତ୍ନୀଙ୍କ ହାତ ପରସା ଗରମ ଗରମ ଖାଦ୍ୟ ଖାଇ ସାରିବା ପରେ, ଯେତେବେଳେ ସ୍ୱାମୀଙ୍କ ମୁଖ ସନ୍ତୁଷ୍ଟ ହୋଇ ଗୋଲାପ ଫୁଲ ପରି ଫୁଲିଯାଏ । ତାକୁହିଁ ତ କୁହାଯାଏ ପ୍ରକୃତ ROSE DAY


💖ଯେତେବେଳେ ସ୍ୱାମୀ-ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ପରସ୍ପର ପ୍ରତି ସୁଖ-ଦୁଃଖରେ ସାଙ୍ଗ ହୋଇ ଚାଲିବାର ପ୍ରତିଶ୍ରୁତି ଦିଅନ୍ତି, ତାକୁ ହିଁ କୁହନ୍ତି ପ୍ରକୃତ PROPOSE DAY


💖 ରାସ୍ତା ବୁଲୁଥିବା ଏକ ଅନାଥ ପିଲାକୁ ଚକୋଲେଟ୍ ଦେଲା ପରେ ତା ଅନ୍ତର ଭିତରୁ ବାହାରୁଥିବା ହସରେ ଖୁସି ହେବାହିଁ ପ୍ରକୃତ CHOCOLATE DAY


💖ନିଜ ସନ୍ତାନ ମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଖେଳନା ନ କିଣିକି, ବରଂ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ସାଙ୍ଗ ଭାବରେ ଖେଳିବା ହିଁ ଅସଲି TEDDY DAY


💖ବୃଦ୍ଧାବସ୍ଥାରେ ନିଜ ପିତାମାତା ଏବଂ ଶାଶୁ-ଶଶୁର ମାନଙ୍କୁ ବୃଦ୍ଧାଶ୍ରମ ନ ଯିବାକୁ ଦେବା ହିଁ ହେଉଛି ପ୍ରକୃତ PROMISE DAY


💖ନିଜ ପରିବାରର ସମସ୍ତ ସଦସ୍ୟଙ୍କ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟରେ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ କରି ପରସ୍ପରଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରଶଂସା ଏବଂ ଉତ୍ସାହିତକରି ଆଲିଙ୍ଗନ କରିବା ହିଁ ପ୍ରକୃତ HUG DAY


💖ଛୁଟିଦିନ ମାନଙ୍କରେ ନିଜ ପରିବାର ସହିତ ସମୟ ଅତିବାହିତ କରିବା ହେଉଛି ପ୍ରକୃତ FAMILY VALENTINE'S DAY


WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THESE DAYS?


What do you mean by the "Rose Day"? Let me just try to say:

When your beloved's enviable love sweetens your life's salty Bay,

When you can feel each other's heartbeats, and read its messages without fail,

When both of you ever smile like a Rose while moving smoothly on life's rail.

 

What do you mean by the "Propose Day"? Let me just try to say:

When you respect your beloved's priceless love without going astray,

When you have nothing to fall back on, your beloved stands by you, still being gay,

When both of you stand unperturbed and united, sailing against currents in life's bay!

 

What do you mean by the "Chocolate Day"? Let me just try to say:

When your beloved sees you commit a goof, but she neither yells at you nor frays,

When at your beloved’s inadvertent lapses, you too neither chew out her nor bray,

When both of you feed the starved, and gift your kids chocolates to make their days!

 

What do you mean by the "Teddy Day"? Let me just try to say:

When neither you nor your beloved, with each other’s sentiments, does ever play,

When your soft and soothing tongue heals the hidden hurts of your shy spouse,

When your beloved nurtures love, loyalty and empathy for you in her heart’s house!

 

What do you mean by the "Promise Day"? Let me just try to say:

When you neither ill-treat your parents nor send them to old age homes to stay,

When you swear to shield and safeguard your beloved in every rough weather,

When your beloved does vouch for her selfless care and timely support forever!

 

What do you mean by the "Hug Day"? Let me just try to say:

When brotherhood inspires you, for the well-being of mankind, to pray,

When humanity prompts you to be engaged in charity, nursing and philanthropy,

When humility calls you forth to worship virtue and embrace noble philosophy!

 

Let me just try to say when you ask, “What do you, by the "Promise Day” mean?”

When one attains martyrdom for the Motherland by one’s supreme sacrifice,

When one adjusts time to spend time with the family; feast and enjoy with the children,

When one becomes synonymous with all the saintly traits and anonymous with vice!
