Somehow for me this day has always been meaningless and depressing…maybe because I haven’t had anyone to celebrate the day with…and this day is purely for couples…
I cant take it as just another day…the ambience around you doesn’t let u take it that way…because love is in the air on V-DayJ…and the craze about it is catching up very quickly with the youth in India…
You would see the news channels showing couples cuddled up together, the heart shaped balloons, the cards, gifts, excitement & the colour of the day…”red” is flashed all around u wherever u go…All that glitz and glamour n pompous display makes me kinda sick n gloomy (no offence meant to anyone plzzz)
Once me and my college friend dropped by at Mc D’s on 14th Feb to enjoy a burger…boy, it was a bad bad idea…The place was thronged with couples all around u n we felt so much out of place…with heart shaped red n white balloons hanging over are head…we felt nauseatic n couldn’t even gulp down the burger n ran from the place…lol.
Its not that I’m against V-day or something but I find it to be a very shallow n phoney way of displaying your love…does the costly gifts or cards prove the other person u love him/her?? Maybe for some people it does matter but for me more than gifts n cards…a single rose, a simple smile, the three lovely words, to say you care, you are the world to me matter much more then the materialistic items because the other things you aren’t going to forget ever n will have a deeper impact n will surely help in strengthening the relationship n never forget no one can ever snatch or take away our memories from us…they remain in your heart forever and they would make u laugh and cry when u go through the earlier pages of your life…
Wishing all those who have someone special in their life “Happy Valentine’s Day”…have fun…n for all the singles…m soon planning to make a day called Singles Day too;)…lol…keep waiting till u find the right one:)

"Somehow for me this day has always been meaningless and depressing" ,I understand this.The day is surely meaningless..ummm depressing? nah.. come on this is just another day .It's just popularized to make money.Now people are forced to buy the present for their valentines(I hate to use this word!) even if they don't wish to.Fortunately,this day has not gained much of popularity in conservative Chennai.So,I haven't faced any such situation you faced in the restaurant.Let's celebrate the singles day on feb 14th.What say?
