Its going to be your life's first ever Valentine's day. You are preparing - the gifts, the looks, the date and everything. You are riding on an emotional super-ride - anxiety and excitement and maybe a bit of guilt, seem to have grasped you together. And, if its a secret, you must be surfing through innumerable ways about - how to conceal this greatest hidden treasure trove of yours from your parents/elders/sisters/brothers and from the entire world. And now, both the lovey-dovey tines of Bollywood play simultaneously with the war songs in your heart. You wish to emerge triumphant - its your first ever precious occasion after all.

Well too much tension and stress can always be disastrous. And, this is the reason why, your friend - Prabhasini comes up with a few tips researched from across the variety of websites and experts and people of experience, to ease out your effort of searching them all over. You only need is to Read On...

For those young teen buddies sharing childhood love - the sixth to the eighth standards, this is for you. The young adults please scroll down to your section... 

1. Plan to go to a place which you have a very clear idea about. Since your parents will not be there, not expected either, and quite possibly its the first time you are going out with someone - who is your special someone, but not your family, you need to be very careful for yourself. And make sure that you do reach out your venue on time - so that your partner doesn't have to wait for long and you can have an enjoyable evening. But, also make sure to reach home in time as well. After all, your parents are equally, and even more, important to you, aren't they.

2. So, you love your craft classes. But even if you don't, there are innumerable gift ideas across the DIY portals and pinterest, that can really customise your feelings for the precious one. It will also save you the pocket pinch. So, a short stationery purchasing affair will do your job.

3. Plan a few interesting games that you two can play while out in your valentine bonanza affair.  And trust me - games planned with the natural phenomenon are really exciting and can save you a lot of preparation tensions.

4. And now, after all the games you played, both of you are really hungry. If you have bunked school or tuition, then you have the tiffin, which can be a really great valentine treat. Just compliment your mom about how good she cooks a particular tiffin item, and ask her if she could make it for that day beforehand. And then, tell your precious one, that this is a dish you are really passionate about. And have it together. A strong bonding does develop over food.

And now, a few more things for you -

1. Love is not bad, neither restricted. The taboos are something the society has imposed following a trick - if you can't reason it out, say its foul. But, their indeed is no mystery in love in itself. And love is the basis of life, its true. But that is the love in general. Love with your special one is not your entire life, unless you are really lucky.
2. Because you are just in the beginning phase of your life, you have lots to know and explore. You will grow and change. Your tastes and preferences will alter as well. So, now, do nurture your feelings, but also maintain a healthy distance.
3. Be good friends first. After all, a healthy friendship lays the backbone of a great relationship, which if sustained and nurtured emerges as a strong bond.
4. Remember, your parents are nor your enemy. So, never ever succumb to feelings that they will deprive you. Sometimes its may happen - what you understand they don't. But the reverse is also true. So, give time and space and have patience. Life is a journey which never stops till your death. You will know your right station soon.

And these are for the buddies in their 9th to the 12th standards i.e. young adults...

So, you are knocking at the doors of adulthood. But thats the legal limit. You already feel adult mentally, don't you. You are independent, self-reliant, and what nots. And, you don't wish to pay heed to anything. But, I am your friend. And these tips are for your help. Please read on..

1. You have pocket money, and can spend it anyway you like. You can either go off to distant places, or buy expensive gifts, or have a great salon treatment. But, please for heaven's sake, don't overdo it. It will really  kill the charm of romance and seem more like a business bidding.

2. You proudly proclaim that you are mature enough to take care of yourself. And of course you should grow up to be so. But, never ever forget, even the most secure army headquarters are not safe from terror strikes and thefts also happen in the most tightly-secured places in the world. So,

    Never have a drink unless you are sure of the contents.
  
    Click selfies / groufies. But, not intimate-fies. You should not allow a trail of blackmail to follow,  in case you suffer a heart-break, do you.

    If you feel you are uncomfortable about something, be the place, or presence of someone, then, let your partner know about it right away. After all, its your happiness and safety that should be on top of the charts for the other one, esp. on this day.


   And, one more thing. You might be very much confident about your relationship. And, why not! Both of you love each other. Trust and confidence are necessary elements in any relationship. And you have the eyes of a miner or a goldsmith. So, you can never be wrong. But then, they too can get wrong at times. So, until you are very sure of the person you are with, don't proceed into a relationship to such an extent, that you get ruined in life.

Love is a wonderful journey. It teaches a lot and if right, is the greatest strength of any individual. And love lets you Live, it doesn't ruin you or kill you or gobble you up. It lets you shine, supports you, and true love always strives to bring out the best from within you. So, the enjoy yourselves on the day of love.
