Happy [belated] Valentine’s Day <3 I hope the gifts for him and her had you inspired to get out and be creative with your gifts this year.

If you are curious, we bought each other the monogrammed mugs from Anthropologie — but I have my eyes on the jewelry frame. Gotta make it soon.

I’ve been reading so many marriage proposal stories and recaps recently and it makes me think about our story. For long time readers, you might have read about our love story. We aired our dirty laundry with stories on eloping, discussion on love & arranged marriage, post marriage realizations etc.

But I haven’t told you about how he proposed to me for marriage.

Geez, what took me so long?

It’s been a long time since I last shared my favorite poems/quotes. I love Maya Angelou’s words of wisdom. Her outlook on life and being, is amazingly captured in her poems or quotes. How do you see the outlook of life around you?

Touched by An Angel by Maya Angelou

We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.
Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.
We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love’s light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.

Tags long over due! Sulz assigned me with letter “K”, meanwhile Vishesh added his share by assigning me with letter “S”. Who am I to complain, right? πŸ˜‰

Rules that are meant to be broken as follows:

You leave a comment on this post, and I’ll assign you a letter. You write about ten things you love that begin with your assigned letter, and post it at your place. When people comment on your list, you give them a letter, and the chain continues on and on.

Note: You can leave a comment and not be assigned a letter if you want. Just let me know if you want a letter to keep this going.

Ten things I love that begins with the letter “K”

1. Knowledge : Behold! I can’t survive without knowledge. Reading is my hobby. This is also true that I am barely surviving in my MBA right now πŸ˜€

2. Karma : Warning! Don’t turn your back on this one. Running away from Karma is impossible. Try it.

3. Kismet : Destiny, faith; who am I to argue? I love my faith, I am destined to be with the ones I love. Thank you GOD πŸ™‚

4. Kindred and Kin : Sharing the same belief, attitude and thought. Family that is..Hmm, I just love the word.

5. Keepsakes : Memories preserved over time. I love scrap booking.

6. Kiwi : I just love the vibrant color of a Kiwi’s flesh πŸ™‚

7. Kiddo : Now, who doesn’t love kids?

8. Ketchup : on fries, burgers, aloo tikki, chicken fingers; anything and everything fried!

9. Karaoke : Soothes my soul. Therapeutic for me πŸ˜€

10. Karate : or a kick, either way I am happy to deliver it! Hey, it rhymes! πŸ˜€

Ten things I love that begins with the letter “S”

1. Sunshine and Sunset : I love nature’s beauty. It is free, after all.

2. Smile : You are on C h a t t e r SMILE B o x. Good jaw exercise, try it!

3. Sunflower : One of my favorite flowers. Planning to grow them during summer’s in 2009.

4. Saffron : is the priciest spice. I love it, in moderate measurements for sure.

5. Sari : Ah, the symbol of sultry, poise and elegance πŸ™‚

6. Spices : Bet we can’t live without it. Go and hide, some how it haunts us. That’s our spice!

7. Success : What’s not to love it?

8. Sweet : tooth that’s me. I am a gamer, anything and everything labeled “desserts”!

9. Strawberry : the other love of my life.

10. Sage : fragrant and subtle herb.
