When was the first time you realized / understood the significance/ importance of Valentine's Day
For me, Valentine's Day has always been a day of love in general, it can be between you mom and you, your dad and you it can be between friends. It can be between any relative, even with the person you had memories with who is not blood related. So, the day I brought my father a diamond ring, on the day I got credited with the first ever salary of my life.

Can you recall your most memorable Valentine's Day?
I was in the first year of my graduation and my boyfriend had gifted me a big aquarium with 4 gold fishes, two small and two big ones with my photograph glued on the back of the aquarium and lighting set up at the top. It was a fantabulous, very well decorated, beautiful aquarium and that was the way of him giving me a Valentine's gift.

What type of a Valentine are you? Card-Roses types/ romantic poems types or the candle light dinner types? Or is there anything besides these?
I am not a card, rose or romantic poem kind of a valentine. Candle- lights are nice but they can turn really monotonous. I get bored very easily. So, I would prefer a good adventurous trip together with my man.

Has anyone rejected your Valentine's Day proposal or have you rejected any Valentine's Day proposal?
I have never proposed to a guy as I believe in a concept that a girl should never propose to a guy. I would even tell my friends to never approach a guy, let that guy approach you.
