February 14th Valentines day…..supposed to be the “day of the Lovers”…..which was unheard of almost a decade ago(in India atleast) is catchin up like never before…..with practically all TV channels flashing Red ..featuring mushy songs all day…intruding into the private space of celebrities…..
But I personally feel tht this does’nt really make too much sense! It’s just the flower vendors n the flambouyant card n gift shops who r gainin out of this “much ado about nothing”.
It’s a total Lose Lose situation! be it for the single ones or the couples or the married!!
Let me explain…..for the single ones it’s the day where every Tom , Dick n Harry has the licence to ask u if u don have a date…..
Well for the couples it’s goin thru the ordeal of courtship all over again(the flowers n the chocolates…..) n for married its’ as if the anniversary was not enough(to add to all the other pressures!!!).
How can one compartmentalize n reserve all the feelings just for some day on the second week of feb?? how can one schedule the emotions and accumulate it all just for the V-day?? Don u think love is to be celebrated everyday ???
It’s all the business tactics n marketing strategies who capitalize on peoples emotions n feelings…..
Hope I’m not soundin like a thourough V.H.P or bajrangdal activist here.
Well sure enough the views here may be offensive to some but does’nt everyone have a right to his/her own views???
