For St. Valentine's Day: The famous love sign!


Nobody can deny from the famous, omnipresent double-lobed heart symbol: the symbol of love; & must also have wondered about its origin. The heart shaped symbol is definitely not inspired from the shape of the heart. (Alas!)

Well, the symbol traces its origin to the famous 'pair' of the female anatomy(as you rightly guessed!), but hold on, its not those curves which you're thinking of..

Read what the history & research work says, & links it to the Greek goddess of beauty, Aphrodite's 'assets'... (Agreeably!)
