Valentine Day.



Birthplace: Roman Empire.
Died: 3rd century, Rome; feast day February 14.
Best Known As: The namesake of Valentine's Day.


Saint Valentine, according to romantic legend, was a kind-hearted Roman priest who married young couples against the wishes of Emperor Claudius II, and was beheaded for his deeds on the 14th of February. In truth, the exact origins and identity of St. Valentine are unclear. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, "At least three different Saint Valentines, all of them martyrs, are mentioned in the early martyrologies under the date of 14 February." Two of these men lived in the third century A.D., one being the bishop of Interamna (now Terni, Italy) and the other a priest of Rome. (Some speculate that these two figures were actually the same man.) Both seem to have been persecuted for their beliefs; the Roman priest reportedly was beaten and then beheaded on the orders of Emperor Claudius II, on or about the year 270. Legends vary on how the martyr's name became connected with romance: the date of his death may have become mingled with the feast of Lupercalia, a pagan festival of love, or with the ancient belief that birds first mate in the middle of February. In modern times Valentine's Day is a day of special romantic sentiment and gift-giving among lovers.


He died on 3rd century, Rome; feast day February 14. Christian martyr whose legend inspired the lover's holiday Valentine's Day. According to tradition, he was a Roman priest and physician who died during the persecution of Christians by the emperor Claudius II Gothicus and was buried on the Via Flaminia. The priest signed a letter to his jailer's daughter, whom he had befriended and with whom he had fallen in love, "from your Valentine." The legend of the bishop of Terni, Italy — also called Valentine and also martyred in Rome — may refer to the same person.

It consists of 234 ornately carved pillars, 9 ornate domes, 20 quadrangled shikhars, a spectacular Gajendra Pith (plinth of stone elephants) and 20,000 murtis and statues of India's great sadhus, devotees, acharyas and divine personalities. The monument is a fusion of several architectural styles of pink stone and pure white marble. Pink stone symbolizes bhakti (devotion) in eternal bloom and white marble of absolute purity and eternal peace. The monument was built after over 300 million man hours of services rendered by 11,000 volunteers, sadhus and artisans. It is the one of the wonders of the modern world, and the wonders of modern India.FYI. During The Attack on Akshardham temple on 24th September 2002 thisBrave Man fought the greatest battle of his life. Yes he was the N.S.G. Commando Late Mr. Surjan Singh, who sacrificed his life for the Nation. Sadly On 19th May 2004 he lost the Toughest and Longestbattle against life exactly after 600 Days being in Coma, he lost this life.
The Bullet which hit him in the head made him Unconscious for almost 600 days. His family members were hoping that one day their Herowill open his eyes but he didn't.It was the Longest Wait for the family members of this Brave Man. When the whole India was busy in Guessing Who will be the Next PM of the country - Will it be Sonia or will it be Manmohan Singh, This man
was fighting his Last battle. But it's so sad that in the hype of all the Political Drama, the News about his Death was Lost like a needle in a hay stack! Even the leading News Papers & So Called Best News Channels of India which Works on 24 X 7 basis, failed to highlight this story of the Brave Man. Unfortunately it was mentioned somewhere on the middle page of some newspaper.....This was the Reward for the Brave task for which he lost his life.Besides his Family members, only one thing was there with him during those toughest 600 days. It was there near his bed till the last Moment. Can you guess what it was?............... It was the "Tiranga", yes! Our National Flag, which was saluting him for his Great cause. Absolutely No words can suffice our Gratitude towards
him...

If news papers refuse to cover, I will cover him. This is the only way we can salute his Bravery...

The Truth.

A Water Bearer In China Had Two Large Pots, Each Hung On The Ends Of A Pole Which He Carried Across His Neck.. One Of The Pots Had A Crack In It, While The Other Pot Was Perfect And Always Delivered A Full Portion Of Water. At The End Of The Long Walk From The Stream To The House , The Cracked Pot Arrived Only Half Full. For A Full Two Years This Went On Daily, With The Bearer Delivering Only One And A Half Pots Full Of Water To His House.Of Course, The Perfect Pot Was Proud Of Its Accomplishment, Perfect For Which It Was Made.
But The Poor Cracked Pot Was Ashamed Of Its Own Imperfection, And Miserable That It Was Able To Accomplish Only Half Of What It Had Been Made To Do.
After Two Years Of What It Percived To Be A Bitter Faliure, It Spoke To The Water Bearer One Day By The Stream. "I Am Ashamed Of Myself, And Because This Crack In My Side Cause Water To Leak Out ALl The Way Back To Your House."
The Bearer Said To The Pot, "Did You Noticed That There Were Flowers Only On Your Side Of The Path, But Not On The Other Pot's Side? Thats Because I Have Always Know About Your Flaw, And I Planted Flower Seeds On Your Side Of The Path, And Everyday While We Walk Back, You've Watered Them.For Two Years I Have Been Able To Pick These Beautiful Flowers To Decorate The Table. Without You Being Just The Way You Are, There Would Not Be These Beauty To Grace The House."
Fact : "Each Of Us Has Our Own Unique Flaws. We're All Cracked Pots."
But Its The Cracks And Flaws We Each Have That Make Our Lives Together So Very Intresting And Rewarding. You've Just Got To Take Each Person For What They Are, And Look For The Good In Time.
Blessings To All My Crackpot Friends.

Is Mumbai Safe For Womens?

Shocked, Disgusted, Molestation incident on New Year's EVE. The Moleststion of two young women at Juhu has provoked predictable headlines. The Molestation incident once again. The Molestation Incident once again.
Is MUMBAI is a safe city for Womens? It makes me sick to see such disgusting activities taking place in Mumbai, which has been name as the safest city. I fell shameful to call Myself an Indian. Because when we are with our family we know she is my sister, she is my wife, she is my daughter, and what after?
After Molestation or Rape what Happens? After that incident she is totally helpless, colourless the hole family get Shocked, Our culture is different we point the girl. But why She is pointed? She has done nothing.
Women She Is A Mother,
She Is A Wife,
She Is A Sister.
We have no right to point anybody, because four fingers comes to ourself if we cannot solve the problem we have no right to point anybody.
Our city has turned into a Dangerous place, breeding a lot of such MONSTERS. Safety for womens their should be more safety measures adopted to stop Crime against Women. The Culprits hands should be chooped, so next time no such things will happen again. Some action has to be taken.
Then Our City Will Be Peaceful & Safe City.
