Valentine’s day is already here and whether or not you are in a relationship, this is a time to celebrate. Don’t get confined with the notion of celebrating the love between couples, and instead, use this day to love yourself and enjoy the feeling of being self and happy. If you aren’t a person who enjoys by yourself, you can always choose to spend the day with family and friends. And if nothing gets your mood on for the day, speed dating is the hot topic this valentine, and there’s plenty you can choose from and go.  And I’ve got some more tricks under my sleeves to make things fancier for you next year! If any of these worked for you, thank me later, whether or not you’re single.

  • Get a cat for a pet 

I say cat because a cat is the definition of pure love. Cat is easy to handle, and not as complicated as a partner. A complicated partner is why you might not have been into a relationship in the first place. So get a cat, it will do crazy stuff. It will mimic funny moves. It will scratch you instead of silently swearing on you. It will scare you off if what you did was not okay to the cat. More or less, cats are easy pets who will do what you expect. If you want to see a happy cat, just get a mouse in the house, the cat is happy. Told you, it’s easy! If you need a mouse in the house, I can lend you some. I got plenty! 

 

  • Have Panipuri at Pappu Chat

Panipuri is where singles hang out, trust me. Couples go to fancy bars and cafes. My personal favorite is Pappu Chat at Bhimsengola Chowk. He makes the best panipuri I have ever tasted. Since it is Valentine’s day and you’ve got nothing better to do, how about trying a few more plates than usual? My best is 4 plates! Beat it!

 

  • Make yourself a Single’s Cake  

What’s a Single’s cake, you ask? It’s a heart-shaped cake, I say. But that’s what lovebirds have, you say. I say make it in half, and advertise silently that you’re single. If you’re a guy, it’s even better. Most ladies love cake. If you can make a cake, you might just get lucky. 

 

  • Speed Dating!

There are plenty of these happening in town, but here’s one that I am particularly interested in. There are cocktails, and there’s cake! 

Place: Nepali Travellers Cafe, Kupondole
Time: 4PM onwards

 

  • Watch Cat Videos

As I already told you, cats are the best! But if you're broke even if you didn't have to buy anything for your man or your woman, welcome to the club - of cat video lovers!
