Yesterday my nephew Pravin Kumar wrote that "love conquers all", and I replied "Love Kills Too". Yesterday many of you would have realised that a girl jumped to her death in a major shopping complex purportedly minutes after having an argument with her boyfriend.

Some say that it is cowardice to do so and others believe that it takes much courage. Regardless, the state of mind at that second when someone wants to commit an act is very much driven by an overwhelmed emotion, that takes control of all sensibilities.

LOVE like any other emotion is a state of mind, managing it like any other (emotion) would help one to deal with the ups and down of that state.

Oedipus, Cleopatra, Shah Jehan, and even the bard have all a common theme in their LOVE story...DEATH. Interestingly it is believed that even St Valentine wrote "from your Valentine" to the daughter of Asterius (the Jailer where St Valentine was imprisoned) just before his execution.

Perhaps Valentines Day should be a day of contemplation of LOVE rather than the day to celebrate LOVE. After all don't you think that LOVE should be celebrated everyday!!!
