To me it's pretty simple. I look at the good side of things and people. Other than me. Instead of worrying, I'd rather do something. And today, instead of wondering about whether my buying a gift would encourage Hallmark and Archies to advertise and make a bigger hoola-bo abt "THE day" again, next year.. I chose to but my mum and sis some flowers.
I don't believe that people need a particular day to tell the people they love, that they are loved. You can do it today or tomorrow or the next tomorrow or on every tomorrow. It is pathetic that you need to be given a particular day, every year, on which you express your love.
But fact of the matter is, no one today has the time to even think about doing something, however small, for the people they love. Let alone, actually doing something. Which is why I like the idea of Valentine's Day.
People taking out the time and making an effort to spend time with people they love, is nice. People making an effort to make other people feel special is nice. We do need to pamper ourselves and let ourselves get pampered once in a while. I'm not talking about spending cash on humungous gifts and stuff. I'm talking about simple stuff. A hug. A box of chocolates. Flowers. A walk on the beach. Switching off your damn cell phone for a while. Getting home earlier from work. A stolen kiss.
If you do it every day, you're an awesome person. If you don't do it everyday, you're an awesome person who needs to make time for the important stuff in life. And since, even after my telling you this and you listening to it, you ain't gonna do nothing about it... So, just remember to tip the flower boy ;)
So, to everybody out there... to those of you who are playing Scrooge today, please loosen up and spread a smile and to those of you having fun, spare me some candy, I didn't get any :(
Another year gone, Cupid's workday is here,
Passion is the buzzword,
Red color's everywhere,
Hold on to your heart, my dear friend,
Take care,
DUCK,RUN,LOOK OUT, 'cuz
Love is in the air..
Happy Valentine's!!!
welcome back...i didn't get any candies either, so please send me over some as well.
i think the point isn't about celebraing love over a single dy, it's about EVERYONE celebrating it on the same day :D
anyway, hope you had an enjoyable valentine's day gifting your sis flowers
And Happy Valentine's Day to you too.
You know what I feel about this.
I think it's sad that people need a calendar to tell them that they have to take some time off to love someone.
I think it sort of dilutes love itself when you have one day where everyone goes out and buys roses, candy and pink hearts.
I don't think half the people in the world would care about Valentine's Day if it weren't for advertising.
I think the concept is pretty ridiculous, or at least has become pretty ridiculous. Still, nothing's worse than the #@%$&^$# Shiv Sena who beats up people who want to celebrate Valentine's Day. I don't think those people know any kind of love.

join the candiless club.. :).. agree totally with kaushik .. u may not need a day to express that u love someone.. but there is nothin wrong with expressin it.... last i checked the constitution has a right called freedom of expression.. so the sena @#$#$S should be freakin booked and thrown in the slammer..
happy valentines day world
yeah..that's the most popular joke ;) umm... i agree its pathetic you need a calendar to tell you when to express your love for someone... but tell me how many times in a yea/month/day/week do you actually make an effort?
fact is we are a bunch of lazy selfish homo sapiens who need a kick on their rears...
..i guess thats where the diff lies.. me being a girl n all :) But you c, most guys dnt like getting mushy 'cuz it goes against some code of theirs and on this day its like they have the permission to do so.
As for whats more pathetic.. i dint get no candy and im boy friendless and im 18!!
Hope you guys had a lovely day!
u can't say i didn't warn you. 3rd line. First para :)
