Valentine’s Day is here — a day to celebrate romance. It’s a day to commemorate love and a day to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you. The entire world is painted in the colour of love and is celebrating Valentine’s Day.
While on one hand, some youngsters have planned a day full of surprises for their special someone, there are others who are struggling to find a way out to just catch a glimpse of their beloved and perhaps spend some time together. From wary mothers to suspicious fathers and from cautions teachers to nagging bosses and nosy neighbours, everyone seems a bit too curious. Amid such carefully crafted circumstances, where even using the ‘f-word’…ehmm…friend…can raise red flags, meeting your beloved seems a task too hard to accomplish.
But as they say, no oceans are too wide and no mountains are too high when the love is true. So this Valentine’s day if you too are stuck in a dilemma unaware of how to dodge all the vigilant eyes and find your way back to your beloved, we have a failproof cheat sheet for you:
