Say it with a rose!
Parked outside a flower shop, a bunch of young boys sitting in the good old Maruti Zen are listening to Punjabi singer Hardy Sandhu’s popular track Sahnu ashiqui tey loan chahida. They have decided to pool in money to buy a present for the one girl that they all like.
A mobile phone they decide, till a boy in the group points out towards the red roses — a safe and sasta bet they shriek. A rose can say it all! With the week of love beginning with the Rose Day on February 7, we believe the rose still holds the charm to melt hearts. Can a rose still say those unspoken words?
Well, for those who are already imagining we quickly want to take you through the importance of Rose Day first. Rose Day, which marks the beginning of the week of love, is celebrated on the seventh day of February.

The British racing driver, former Le-Mans winner and host of television series Fifth Gear on Discovery Turbo, has been spiking up the accelerator ever since, driving super cars, racing rally cars and going off road.

The pretty model was runners-up of the Miss Asia 2007 beauty pageant. She is not only about looks, as Neha is an NIFT graduate and an MBA. She has been donning different hats, “One at a time, of course.” In Ludhiana, she presented a look inspired from Manish Malhotra’s showcase at Lakmé Fashion Week Summer.
