A CAMPUS VALENTINE’S

Valentine’s Day is here? Again? For those in
love this is a day to express ones love towards
his/her partner.


 Simple as love is in its basic
concept, love can be quite expensive. The
phrase “no Romance without finance” comes
to mind. And quite appropriately so.
Interestingly though, broke or not your partner
expects to be shown some love. These days
going for a stroll in the park just won’t cut it.
In fact free expressions of love are often
regarded as boring and associated with losers.
On the other hand, though,extravagance,
especially on Valentine’s Day is christened
beautifully including but not limited adjectives
such as sweet, awesome and romantic.
The world over Valentine’s is silently
considered to be the day when the man does
something “awesome” for the lady. Though
women are expected to reciprocate the same
since a good turn deserves another, more
often than not the ladies get away with it. For
most comrades however only so much can be
expected.


Ask any young man in campus under these
economic times. There are just too many
unsettled priorities before you can get to the
bottom of the list where romance is.
The irony of this situation though, is that your
girlfriend still expects something. This is the
time when many students come up
with emergency calls to their parents for
additional text books or some constructed
medical emergency and what have you. All in
a bid to solicit some cash to take their
chicks out. Save the nature walks and dinner
in the hostel room for the clueless broke boys.
This Valentine’s Day enjoy your love and
remember that in life, the best things are free.
If you find yourself struggling to please your
loved one then maybe you are not being
honest enough. It is a lot easier to let them
understand your situation. A little effort
wouldn’t hurt though. Perhaps some coffee. Or
a movie. Something manageable but fancy. In
short think out of the box and there will
always be a cheap way to say those three
words without sounding cheap.
But then again, this isn’t a relationship
column now is it? What the heck?! Break the
damn piggy bank!
