The Tremble in a Hopeful Heart
I still remember the butterflies. The nervous anticipation, the careful choice of words, the deep breath before a moment that felt like it would define everything. Proposing, in any form, is an act of incredible vulnerability and courage. It’s not just asking a question; it’s opening your heart, laying bare your hopes, and offering a piece of your future to another.
Tomorrow, Sunday, February 8, 2026, marks Propose Day, the second day of Valentine’s Week. It’s a day when millions will gather their courage, their hopes, and their dreams to ask: “Will you be mine?” On social media, Google searches for this day will peak, and countless posts will trend, primarily from the vibrant youth of India.
But amidst the excitement, the elaborate gestures, and the digital declarations, I often pause and ask: Are we truly grasping the profound essence of what “proposing” actually means?
Beyond the ‘Likes’: Reclaiming True Commitment
The very act of proposing symbolizes the courage to express genuine emotion, to move from unspoken feelings to a declared intention. It’s about honesty, vulnerability, and a readiness to make a choice that profoundly changes a relationship. It moves a bond from ‘maybe’ to ‘definitely,’ from ‘casual’ to ‘committed.’ Commitment, in love, is the cornerstone upon which true, lasting relationships are built. It’s the silent, steady promise that we will navigate life’s storms and share its sunshine, together.
Yet, in today’s fast-paced world, especially among our dynamic Gen Z, the very idea of commitment sometimes feels… elusive. It often feels as though maintaining multiple, fleeting relationships has become a ‘style statement,’ a badge of independence, when perhaps, it leaves our hearts feeling more fragmented than free. The true strength, the true style, lies in the courage to commit—to one person, one path, one shared future. To choose someone, not just today, but tomorrow, and every day after.

Will you journey life, forever with you? - Poem 2: “Promise Bloom”

A simple question from this heart of mine:
Through storms and sun, in joy or in pain,
Will you be my love, again and again?

Imagine gifting a hand-block printed cotton kurti or suit for her—a piece of wearable art, crafted with love and meant to be cherished for years. Or for him, a hand-block printed cotton shirt or a smart short kurta—a unique expression of style and comfort that carries a story of heritage. These aren’t just gifts; they are promises, wrapped in the enduring beauty of traditional craft, ready to embark on a new chapter of your shared journey.
