February 14th marks the death anniversary of two great men, St. Valentine, the man who gave his life to bring lovers together and P. G. Wodehouse, the man who gave us endless laughs. While St. Valentine’s anniversary is commemorated by lovers across the globe celebrating it as a day of love, I would like to think of P. G. Wodehouse, who gave us an idyllic world to get lost into, to dream in and laugh till our sides start hurting.
P. G. Wodehouse created characters and events that tickled our funny bones. He created a world where anything impossible can happen and turn everything topsy turvy. He taught us how to laugh, and laugh out loud and roll while laughing. He gave a purpose to the lives of millions of book lovers. He carried us away at a place where we can forget all our worries, all our daily bric-bracs and just relax. Yes, he was a master of words and he made us enjoy ourselves. So surely, let this day be dedicated to all booklovers, all those who love a really good laugh.
