A heart-felt treat With Valentine's Day around the corner, restaurants are already rustling up aphrodisiac foods to amp up your hormones.

The price - Rs.1,600 per kg - may seem a bit steep, but if you truly love your chocolate this one won't disappoint.

Whether you agree with Maharjan's interpretation or not, there is no taking away from the fact that you will be instantly drawn to all his works, and to the many secrets they hold.
